My Truth

[Reaganfan]

Dear Forum Members,

The game is over. Over the past couple of days, I have posed as "Jessica Walterstein," the "girlfriend" of "Michael" Naso as a joke poster. I was getting away with it, too. I recall only two members correctly guessing my true identity and I would have continued since one member didn't follow up on it. One of two problems is that the one individual that correctly guessed who I really am will probably follow up on it after he picked up on one of my clues. The other is the fact that word has been spreading like wildfire that I am not Naso but someone else, another former, controversial forum member. This is where I realized that I had to set the record straight.

A few days ago, one of the moderators incorrectly guessed my identity and contacted me via PM. An IP check was done and one of the strangest, yet oddly very convenient, mistakes in forum history occured. The IP was traced to a town that borders the hometown of one of our old members. It seemed like a slam dunk - no way could it be anyone but this person. Except it is not him. The funniest part was that this IP not only had the wrong town, it had the wrong state. I made the moderator aware of this and since he found the whole act amusing, he didn't act on it. The only problem is that others have picked up on the IP check and word has spread. Knowing that someone else could get blamed and get in "trouble," I decided to correct a few people and come clean about who I really am. Another issue is that having people think this is someone other than Naso while not correctly guessing who it is takes away from the fun. This wasn't the only issue though.

I believe two people hit the nail on the head concerning my identity and, as I stated earlier, one never followed up. The other, however, did. That person is Hughento. In one post, I spelled Oregon "Oregano," an inside joke shared between myself, Hugh and a few others after he lectured Americans on how to properly pronounce the word. He then contacted me via AIM. I tried to cover it up in a Facebook message but ultimately gave up.

I want to close with why I chose this "Jessica" character. A few months ago, Naso put on an act that he had a secret girlfriend by the name Jessica Walterstein. It become a running joke. For awhile now I have been wondering what forum life has been like. One night, I was so bored that I decided to make a comeback. I wanted to do so in an unconvential way so I asked for and received Naso's username and password and came back as our joke, Jessica Walterstein. I want to make clear that while it may be "wrong" to use someone else's account here, I did so with permission. I wasn't here to troll, I was here as a joke. Some people enjoyed it while others did not but regardless of whether it was amusing or not, it wasn't meant to be nasty. I enjoyed it while it last but the show has to end sometime.




And so, my friends, my truth is that I am a Pennsylvania Atlasian.

Good times, man. You should come back as yourself, though.

[Platypus]

Well played. Al knew.

[Joe Republic]

you mean Mike Naso was really Keystone Phil all along?

omg holy sh**t

omg holy sh**t

ROTFL

[they don't love you like i love you]

If it was confirmed to be not Naso, you were my second guess and I even said so.

[Reaganfan]

If it was confirmed to be not Naso, you were my second guess and I even said so.

Yeah, I expect about everyone to say that now. The people that I remember saying it was me on the forum: Sensei and Colin.

[Reaganfan]

I knew people would eventually call out "Jessica" and "Catch Her in a Lie."   

[ilikeverin]

Wow, I never knew the hugh-Phil rivalry was so big he could sense you posing as Naso posing as a random female

How are you?

[Reaganfan]

The Hugh-Phil rivalry is over. We get along well now.

I am going to refuse to answer anything else about this "Keystone Phil" unless I make a decision to return. 

[Robespierre's Jaw]

Oh my. We have a Fred Thompson on the forum finally

I recall only two members correctly guessing my true identity and I would have continued since one member didn't follow up on it.

Translation:  two members gave a damn, and one still didn't follow up on it.

...yeah...correct. I don't know why the "translation" was needed but ok.

[J. J.]

If it was confirmed to be not xxxxx, you were my second guess and I even said so.

You had me fooled.  That is the best Reaganfan impression I've ever seen. 

Happy New Year to you, and come back! 

[they don't love you like i love you]

So are you still supporting that sinking ship known as Fred Thompson or have you too jumped?

[Robespierre's Jaw]

I think this explains Phil's mood swings at the moment.

[Peter]

Actually your spelling of obepo gave you away to me, though I never said anything at the time. It was good to see you again Phil. Come back.

I will go down with that ship.    I'm with Fred until he drops out or does something insane but I am rooting for my "second" choices - McCain and Huckabee (in that order, too). Anything to stop Romney basically.

[Keystone Phil]

And the other truth is that, believe it or not, I have returned. I really was unsure about whether I should come back but my forum needs me.

[Speed of Sound]

Hahahahaha.....well done, KP, well done indeed. Welcome back to the forum.

[Person Man]

Ahahahahaha... Though I really didn't care.

[ilikeverin]

Huzzah, a sane Republican!

[Padfoot]

lol, its so ironic that its you since IIRC i made a comment about how it was a shame you weren't here anymore to verify the identity of "Jessica" after someone posted a quote from you in which you mentioned her by name.

nice one Phil

[Queen Mum Inks.LWC]

Damn it!  You were my second guess - but I kinda bought into the Jessica thing - I guess in my mind it was like a 60-40 split.

[Cubby]

Welcome Back Phil

I would feel stupid for thinking you were Naso, but (almost) everyone else thought the same thing.
