Having fun with my Ipad. It’s the bomb. One problem is that the navigation buttons are flaky. Perhaps I have a setting wrong?

[...] After the advertising bubble bursts from Doc Searls. Thesis #74 of The Cluetrain Manifesto says, We are immune to advertising. Just forget it. We wrote that in 1999, when everybody thought that advertising was going to be THE model for businesses on the Internet. The crash came less than a year later. Makes me think re-reading the cluerain and re-encoding patterns that would work from what I learned in it is a great thing to do while I think/architect our local/social search platform where merchants are people too (for VRM and real “R” you need two participants on equal footing).

Bowerbird…

You are comparing yourself to Mark Twain and Bob Dylan? I won’t even comment on that…

‘Bowerbird’ is, as Pseudonym… commenting here without using your real name is tantamount to being a ‘Troll’ ….pure and simple

Here’s an article by Kathryn Darden on:
Using Avatars & Pseudonyms – License for Rude Behavior?

This is exactly the pattern you have followed… using a Pseudonym to come here and say whatever your like, with as little accountability as possible.

bowerbird is not a “fake” name, simon.

it’s my poetry name, and i have been
interacting exclusively with that name
since i got on the web back in 1996…
(under poetry, i’ve used it since 1987.)

so i would suppose you would say that
robert zimmerman was “hiding behind”
the “fake name” of bob dylan, right?

or that samuel langhorne clemens was
also just “an invisible coward” who was
“hiding behind” his mark twain moniker.

or perhaps eric arthur blair was afraid of
“big brother” for real, and that’s why he
wrote as george orwell?

do you know any more about those
3 people knowing their “real” names?

conversely, would your own message
be any less obtuse, simon, if i were to
dub you “bitter gobbledygook idiot”?

as for my “fanciful utopian dribble”,
exactly what part of “i don’t give a
flying fuck if you ‘take me seriously’”
did you fail to understand, simon?
