"No, you're Baron Von Munchasen."

Actually, the good Baron may have been one of the characters that eventually settled into playing a toy knight in this forum.

The Baron is a Archtype. In the sense of Jungian archetypes. One thing the concept-Baron represents is, is an acceptance of a lowered understanding of the world -- an understanding through anthropomorphic metaphor, also a rebellious refusal to understand things or accept the truth of some deep matters be re-casting them in such metaphors. (Casting as used in the second telling of the ten statements in Deutronomy --- "Cast no gods".)

That is, you, yourself, according to me, may have issues you are not dealing with straight up, the way a man should, and that comes out in your recourse to online "multiple personas". I speak from afar, only knowing you from observation over a few years as a regular poster. I am not even saying that there is no good in dealing with issues in this way on your part. Look at James Thurber! Look at many a professional comedian, actor, author -- many times they too deal with such very perosnal issues through means of story-telling and role-playing. There's some creative juice in it.

I'm just putting a proposition before you. Are you all you can be?
