Just wanted to say hello in intro myself. My name is Bill, and for a short time (211 posts) I played "Phil The Cat" in DUmmieland.
"Phil" was a naive Marxist, shooting for the left of EFerrari, Peace Patriot, and Judi Lynn (but never quite succeeding - that's a LOOOOOONNNNNG way left). His specialty was in pointing out the evils of socialism by trumpeting them ("Wouldn't it be wonderful if the government owned EVERYTHING and assigned jobs, housing, and diet?"). His ultimate series of posts had to be those extolling the virtues of the North Korean constitution. This is how I found my way here - where this relatively minor and short-lived character received a "Primitive Of The Year" nomination for that thread.
Alas, "Phil The Cat" was killed by the Little Somoli Boy That Couldn't (bomb a Christmas celebration). I was so frustrated by some of the reactions (particularly ProudDad) that I started breaking character. Next thing I knew, P.T.C. was executed.
Anyhow, it's the real deal for me here. I may say some things people like. I may say some things people hate. Either/or, it is what it is!
