"written by a pseudonym" You meant written under a pseudonym, didn't you? You are aware that the alternate name does not write anything. Words cannot write or have opinions. It is the person who registered with SI who writes. I must say I have noted this carelessness crop up from time to time in this discussion where you refer to an alternate name as though the name WERE the person...rather than merely the name the person is choosing to use to protect their address! I have said before: people use all sorts of names both in face-to-face, and otherwise. Using alternate names does not change the substantiality of the person. Your continued inability to grasp this simple idea is perplexing to me. Lipstick does not have a mind and I rather doubt it could have an opinion. Let me know if you find out otherwise.
