Just in Case You Ever Took Amanda Chapel Seriously

In case anyone ever took the fictitious Amanda Chapel seriously for even a minute, here's an email exchange (reverse chronologcal order, read from bottom to top pls) with him/her/they, who, in addition to being an anonymous blogger is apparently also psychotic:

Saw you comment on WOMMA. “And Mr Amanda: ‘there are good lies and bad lies.’ sounds like you'd fit right in at Edelman.”

In one sentence you capture our problem. You are one stupid cunt.

If that’s as far a bridge as you can build… it will have to do.

I'd be totally astonished if that last remark was made by a woman.

Yes, when you voice the least little difference of opinion or opposition to Brian Connolly/AC, he/she/it resorts to insults. Think that's all he really can do.

Unfortunately, many bloggers have had a similar run in with BC/AC, B.L. It's a shame that someone(s) with some valid points at times usually resorts to such foul name-calling.

Well - hate to say it fellas but that sounds pretty feminine to me. And if Amanda is a transvestite then I declare a draw right now.

Dennis: that's certainly a pretty weird comment.

Posted by: B.L. Ochman at October 24, 2006 11:49 PM

Obviously you've not met Dennis...

This "Amanda Chapel" is indeed a fictional character, who does not exist in the real world.

She is a channelized ego fixation that is being used surreptitiously to frame a field of attraction for a childish set of half-baked web ideologies that are against democracy, free expression, and user/customer empowerment.

A cluetrain-hating gluebrain figment of a lack of imagination.

Their client said, "Make it go viral with Web 2.0 tools", they failed, and now they rail against the blogosphere.
