This game is similar to WHO POSTED THIS at
http://www.able2know.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=8060&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=0
ORIGINAL GUIDELINES
I or some other member will provide you with a post taken from an individual's writings. This person may or may not be currently active. The quotes (posts) may also be taken from other web sites frequented by A2Kers. I believe we can select postings from our own threads. Hopefully, someone will comment on the legalities of quoting from other sites.
Your job is to identify the author of that post. Speculation is encouraged. In the event you are unable to name the individual, a clue will be provided.
The game is over when the correct author's name is posted by me or the presenter of the quote.
ADDITIONAL GUIDELINES FOR THIS FORMAT
1. Members who play will be expected
to not use the query. These are folks who want to keep it a game. Looking for patterns in the clues, mistakes by the poster (me), or whatever tips you off.
2. There will be
repeats of the authors of pass quotes, not the quotes.
3. Some
members with fewer than 20 posts may be used. There will be a pattern to this...hope you figure it out before the others.
4. We will begin with groupings of ten quotes. Each quote will be handled as in the original game. However, after 10 quotes are used, there will be a period of downtime to regroup and accumulate new approvals by authors. During the original game, I found I did very little else with A2K.
5. Sometimes, I will announce ahead of time the hour you can expect the next clue or quote.
6. Each grouping of ten quotes will constitute one thread. The
new game will be called
WHO POSTED THIS FOR PUREST, p. 1. The next thread will be called WHO POSTED THIS FOR PUREST, p. 2.
You are encouraged to recommend quotes of unusual humor, clarity, wisdom and such. Send them re PM. I will confirm their use with the author. Of course, if their quote is used, you would not participate in solving that one quote. It is acceptable to recommend your own quotes; however, our perceptive members will probably note the game in which you have withdrawn your participation. It is also appropriate to ask other members to submit quotes to me, especially folks who are new to A2K. This activity tends to build communal feelings; so, introduce us to the new folks.
Let the game begin.

WHO POSTED THIS?
Quote:Being the conspiracy theorist that I am, I suspect that this campaign of punishment such as destruction of their CDs and boycotting concerts is really the work of one or two (maybe both) factions.
I wouldn't be at all surprised to learn that Sony Corporation has a hand in the fanning of the flames in retribution for the court case the Dixie Chicks won against them for non-payment of royalty fees. The other faction would be all those guys out there who got their egos bruised by a group of women making it big in what is mostly a male-dominated industry. Combine the marketing powerhouse of Sony, bruised male egos, and women intelligently speaking their minds and you have a recipe for overblown theatrics.
Personally, no matter what their views are, I'm impressed by the fact that they are so much aware of what is going on outside the world of entertainment. So many entertainers are so self-involved in their own little world and inarticulate it is embarrassing to hear them open their mouths just to ask for a glass of water.
However, you did not give the correct name.
Stumble It!
