Aefiel,
I have thought long and hard about this and here is my present position. It is fundamentally impossible for you or anyoneelse to know who someone is by reading their blog or their emails. This might not be true in every case but the thing is you can’t know if it is true in any particular case either. Maybe they are honest, maybe they are very good at pretending to be honest. You can’t possibly know for sure. So the best thing to do, especially for you Aefiel, as beautiful and as charming and wondrous as you are, is to understand that it is all a performance, even if just a performance of the self. If I am not standing in front of you breathing the same air and the energy of life transpiring immediately between us, not edited and delayed and considered long enough to write it down, you don’t know who I am. No matter how hard I try, even how hard I try not to try. It is a metaphysical question of the ontology of fictional characters and the self.
