a confession


sorabji.com: What is the cruelest thing you ever did?: a confession
By Nate on Saturday, June 8, 2002 - 09:27 pm:

    i'm a 72 year old professor of english lit at cal poly. i invented the 'nate' character to test some thoughts i had about cyber communities and interactions. chordata, interested in the psychological implications of my project, assisted me. the picture that you've all seen is one of my students (and my lover, as strange as that may sound.)

    i apologize to anyone who's life might have been harmed in this experiment. However, i don't expect this should change anything. How important is honest perception in this media? who will ever know? what difference does it make when words are words, ideas are ideas and life does not exist in corpreal spaces?

    "We will demonstrate our best effort by studying, listening, paying attention and cooperating with others in school."

    that third thing was inspired by you patty.

    my kids are the best little group of retarded munchkins in the world.

    hey Gino i guess you could classify it "paying attention" when you give it to Helayne everyday after school in the teachers lounge, or wait, maybe you find your mind wandering about Lauren
