1. nothing, less than nothing if it is written by glice.
2. well, i suppose it is only natural to form an impression of people based on what you read, and some people i wonder how they get on in the real world if what they say on here is anything like what they are like when they are away from their computer screen. but i wouldn't say anyone puzzles me.

Most of the information on the internet is nebulous. That's not to say it can't be revalatory, and I think the internet serves very well to disturb certain notions of truth. In relation to Marras' first question, you can pick and choose exactly what you take seriously, but, contrary to that, you can pick and choose which exacts a notion of truth you aspire to/ believe in
within people's opinions.
In relation to two - I think the most interesting people are often those whose opinions puzzle me, or at least confound my understanding of things. The problem with this forum is not that people don't make sense, but that too many of them are entirely consistent in their expression of their opinions. There are, necessarily, consistencies to each 'net-persona' which is a lower-case form of a writerly identity, but I think these are generally a) my own interpretation of people whose identity-in-relation-to-myself is based on a net-persona and b) dependent upon the rash nature in which most, if not all, at times, write.
The only
real cunt on this board is T&B.
