I Am Doctor Gotz

Well Dr Gotz and Finn are one in the same.

If you feel the need to ignore "Finn" so be it.

But thanks for the welcome back

Not really.

Apparently, I was pretty effective at adopting a alternative personna. I did try to word my comments in a way that would not suggest Finn; without compromising the principles of Finn/Dr Gotz. It wasn't easy, but it was fun.

Frankly, I had to acknowledge the sort of rhetorcal tics and patterns of Finn that I would have to avoid as Dr. Gotz.

Interestingly (or otherwise) I knew that Finn rarely spell-checked and so Dr. Gotz always did. I also had to watch out for phrases that were typically "Finnian," such as "do doubt" and several others. A2K members are by no means fools and they are more than capable of identifying the sloppy duplicative identity.

I don't know if Dr Gotz can be described as an experiment as much as a challenge.

Could I respond essentially in agreement with Finn but garner completely different reactions?

Yes I could.

I wasn't trying to make a fool of anyone if anyone thinks so, I apologise and assure them that wasn't the case.

This is an intellectual playground and I like to play.

If anyone thinks they are going to one up me, I'm all good with that.

I appreciate that some members are here to post as they exist. I respect that but it's not me.

No, Coloradian, but he loved the USA.

I noticed that. I also noticed that he, like pretty much everyone else, is simply not prepared to face up to the truth.

I was wondering if that was where you were going. You certainly did get different responses. Do you think that was because of tone, spell checking and grammar or just because of a lack of familiarity and history?

Not granting you version of history represents the truth, but someone can appreciate that the US has as a nation done some pretty horrible things but still love it. If one only loves the perfect, one won't have much love in their life.

I think it was tone. Spelling and grammar had, in my opinion, nothing to do with it. They were employed for disguise. Dr. Gotz is less judgmental and more tolerant than Finn. He also seems, I'm sure, a lot more friendly.

BTW JTT, thanks for your welcome back too. I didn't mean to leave you out.

So tone then. I ask because I recently observed a regular who has a contentious relationship with many people make a couple of civil and on topic responses in a thread only to have others storm in, go completely off topic and attack.

I don't deem u so.

Yes, once one develops a personna, it's hard to break free of it. Assumptions are made based on prior judgments.
