h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

I wonder what the ethical implications of having a secret alter ego used just to support one's point of view are. Not to mention the Freudian factor! Morally I suppose it is reasonable, providing that the alter ego is not used for anything other than support and not for harassment. Of course here on the net, being a sys op or hacker would be the equivalent of having a time machine. One could backdate anything and even erase things if needed.

Of course the statement:

"Often, when working with or coming into contact with someone who really annoys you, the best plan is just to walk away and leave them talking to themselves. You have no idea just how silly they look standing there raving away at, nothing!"

Has no relevance if that someone just follows you to your next location, ad nauseum.

I haven't finished that piece yet...

[I forgot to subscribe to it as well...]

True... Too true some would say...

But I rather prefer the time travelling method though... It gives a chance to the alter ego to interact with people, build up a reputation and gain some credibility... If the account is somehow just backdated, some people are bound to wonder where this persona has been all that time when it gets into action...

That would be another story/article methinks...

Hmmmm... Might be time soon to do a bit more work on that entry... Mainly some more links to add then and there... A bit of polishing of course... And, perhaps, get rid of the last sentence... It's not really adding anything to the text... I think I added it because I didn't want the entry to finish in a too serious note...

Anyway, for the late reply... And thanks for your comments...

The >...here on the net, being a sys op or hacker would be the equivalent of having a time machine...< might have given me an idea for another article... I will let you know if anything productive comes out of it...

Talk soon...
