Sorry, hagdirt

[essentialsaltes]

So the whole Cal Godot thing on enigmachat got me all misty-eyed and nostalgic for Adam J. Bernay. Let's play internet stalker.

He's now a rabbi, conducting services for a messianic congregation that meets in his house. (Well, okay, his parents' house.)

And ladies? He's single:

"I am single, 31 years old, and looking for Miss Right. My hobbies include science fiction fandom, karaoke, and spouting opinions.

About my potential match: Ideally, I'm looking for an American Ashkenzic Messianic Jewish woman, 25-35 years old, raven-haired, dark-eyed beauty around 6 feet tall, healthy but not so thin the bones stick out, as seems to be the fashion nowadays."

Is there more than what was just shared on the list? Beyond his website, haven't found much interesting...

Well, that he's a 42-year-old filmmaker who doesn't have any association to UCLA that I can discern. Not terribly odd; Enigma's like that.

Then, the number of hits that come up which are 1. letters to the editor containing ranting, and 2. letters to the editor responding to his ranting. Not terribly surprising, considering his recent freakout.

The combination of the two, however, I find interesting. Why does he want to be our friend, yet come and freak out at us? If we annoy him so much, why doesn't he leave, and find better friends elsewhere?



All right, only mildly interesting.

I'm sorry you find such attention so compelling.

And "Anonymous" is not Ian.

It all makes me nostalgic for 7th grade.

You're nostalgic for last year?

No, "anonymous" is not Ian. (Well, this "anonymous" is, but none of the other posts on this thread are by me.) I wouldn't even know about this now if hagdirt hadn't told me.

In point of fact, I agree that the previous "anonymous" was way out of line. Even Adam, who dislikes me, would presumably admit that I never made fun of his weight, appearance, or religion - only his arguments and his adherence to them in the face of contrary evidence.

Your assumption that the above comments were my handiwork says more about you (specifically, your inability to distinguish a legitimate criticism of an argument from a malicious and unwarranted personal attack) than it does about me.
