Darren, Don't we all deserve a chance at a fresh start? What's wrong with a fresh start, once one admits he started off on the wrong foot?

Ah, Dan Bloom, but the rub is, you had the second account WHILE STILL POSTING AS DAN BLOOM. You were even replying to yourself in threads, giving supporting messages to yourself. That is, as I mentioned earlier, called sockpuppeting. It is a form of lying. Deception. Dishonesty. Showing poor character. Most forums have explicit rules against posting under multiple accounts (though MobileRead doesn't seem to.)
It is not something done honestly by a reputable person.
And then, in this thread, you say
"I was thinking the other day about how I hate reading on paper surfaces these days when I can read much more comfy on my e-reader."
Based on everything else you have said in the past, this is a lie, Dan. You think reading on paper is the bestest thing in the world, and you think reading off screens is the end of critical thinking. You made up a fictional character for yourself and posted lies so that you could continue doing exactly what you have done before that "started you off on the wrong foot"-- starting thread after thread about "do we need a new word for x" just so that you could promote your new words that you think are soooooo important.
I wasn't the only one to criticize your starting multiple threads about nothing, Dan. I was just the one who did my homework on your background. For instance, looking at other web sites that have
1.) articles about ebook technology and
2.) comment sections
where almost all the "comments" have been you posting essay after essay after essay that you have written about how different ebook reading is from "real" reading and how everyone needs to use all the new words that you come up with. Those comment sections become an extension of your multiple blogs. I just would
hate to see this forum, which in generally filled with intelligent, reasonable people, to be turned into another outpost of Dan Bloom blogs unchallenged.
