Leftists remain leftists only through stubbornly maintained ignorance, while the conservatives stride from enlightenment to enlightenment. No doubts from you or, say, Bruce can change this progress. You might start to wonder what you're missing.

Why yes. Yes one can. Apparently.

Whenever UG goes really over-the-top, I have another one of my "On the Internet noone knows you're a dog" conspiracy theories that UG is an alter-ego of an existing Cellarite. That maybe s/he was going to use "Urbanana Gorilla" but decided that doing that would reveal the joke.

I do not believe that a real human being could consistently self-parody the way UG has on a primary account, even anonymously.

Maybe Brianna banned herself because she was unable to continue maintaining two Cellar accounts.

Except for the Bri part, that is actually a viable theory. :p

Hee hee -- too bad for Shawnee's worldview that it founders on the fact that I'm realer even than Brianna; not all your piety or wit can efface a line or blot out a word of it, as Khalil Gibran said. As for the people who say "the man's doing a self-parody," they lack a certain breadth of imagination, and they are desperately kidding themselves in an attempt to remain wallowing in their savage and silly darkness of mind. Funny thing to pick over good and enlightened thinking. Doesn't engender a lot of respect for their intellectual powers, I must say. Does display an impressive degree of procrastination, if you're looking for impressive properties.

I know Kahlil Gibran. I've read Kahlil Gibran. You, sir, are no Kahlil Gibran.
