The independent has referred to me as a public forum attendee & as a voter.

Are you saying that I don't think I'm a troll, or that it doesn't say that?

I got a fancy quote in the Indy once. I wrote a letter responding to this guy's letter about the contributions of Western culture to the world and a quote from my response was the header on the letters page.

So does the Indy now just cruise the internet finding things to describe people? I guess I'm a "internet provocateur and amature web documentarian", which is to say I'm barely those things at all.

^ No, that blurb was written by dmbny414034. It's the result of a drunken promise at the Megafaun/Bowerbirds homecoming party. "Cell phone underwriter" refers to the fact that I once owned an indestructible Motorola V551 that was thrown across many a bar in an effort to demonstrate its indestructibility. It's also worth noting that it's tacked on to the end of a much longer, more serious blurb about Lonnie Walker.

Last time a reporter from the Indy called me up, they asked me how I wanted to be identified, and what descriptors would be appropriate.

I would want to be described as cyclopean or non-euclidean.

I'm not. I've been personally mentioned in the Independent as well:

Quote :

"But all agreed on the best advice for the earnest young blogger seated in the front row, who asked about a career in film criticism: “Don’t quit your day job.”"
