If you want to keep your anonymity and continue B.S.ing people with this "Simon Fuchs" nonsense, that's your choice, of course. But you're going to continue to be regarded as being on basically the same level as Joseph, Droopy, etc.


Obviously, I don't have a way to prove it to you.


Sure you do. In this day and age it's more or less impossible to avoid the interconnectedness of life. So if you're actually telling the truth here, you should be able to put up a series of links that situate within contemporary life. These disembodied photos, these patently fake Facebook pages---this doesn't cut it.

It's possible to connect Simon Fuchs with my alma matter(s), but probably not my current client, as I am self employed (though, I have been working with my current client for years).


Well, then, put up a link that shows that Simon Fuchs attended such-and-such college/university.

I don't buy the claim that "nothing will prove it," because that's just not so. I mean, do a scan of your Masters in Phil. and create a .pdf and post it, if you want to make a legitimate goodwill gesture. Provide links showing that you're an actual, flesh-and-blood person who exists in the real world and who does and lives as he says he does. Post a pic of you playing w/ your puppy. For heaven's sake, Simon, you're making this way more difficult than it ought to be. You must be the only person in the 1st world--outside of deep-cover intelligence operatives and law enforcement types--who's incapable of providing evidence that you exist in the world.


Okay, what do you suggest, then?

I can't prove to you who I am. You'll have to assume I am telling the truth if you care.


I've given you several suggestions already. Anything short of that needs to be treated with utmost skepticism, in my opinion.

If Simon does not verify that he is telling the truth then he should be renamed Timothy Berman and from here on out anyone that lies, writes bad smut, is unemployed and an apologist must be renamed Timothy Berman. There can be multiple Timothy Bermans they are all the same. There is no need to differentiate.

Hello,

I'm coming up only to hold you under
I'm coming up only to show you wrong
And to know you is hard and we wonder
To know you all wrong, we were

Really too late to call, so we wait for
Morning to wake you; it's all we got
To know me as hardly golden
Is to know me all wrong, they were

At every occasion I'll be ready for a funeral
At every occasion once more is called a funeral
Every occasion I'm ready for the funeral
At every occasion one brilliant day funeral

I'm coming up only to show you down for
I'm coming up only to show you wrong
To the outside, the dead leaves, they all blow (alive is very poetic)
For'e (before) they died had trees to hang their hope

At every occasion I'll be ready for the funeral
At every occasion once more is called the funeral
At every occasion I'm ready for the funeral
At every occasion one brilliant day funeral

I can't find any online resources that link me to other places. My almae matres don't keep alumni records online (so far as I can tell), and I've made a special effort to not have any sort of online presence with blogs, and social networking due to the nature of my work. I did sign up for a Facebook account recently as part of my goodwill gesture, but I guess that wasn't enough. There isn't much else I can do.

You're full of crap, Simon.

No, but as I've said: I work in the IT security industry.

Simon is so picky that he will only allow one person on this board to be his friend: liz.
