Grex Pseudo Item 11: Is pseudo a dirty word?
Entered by tocohl on Fri Dec 6 19:13:32 UTC 1991:

Is being considered a pseudo an insult?  If someone thought you were a 
pseudo, would you be insulted, amused, or apathetic?  How about if you
*are* a pseudo and someone thinks you are real?

When I first logged on, someone accused me of being a pseudo.  I was
amused, and not insulted.

#2 of 29 by bad on Sat Dec 7 04:15:34 1991:

No, I took care of the insulting later :)

If pseudo is indeed a dirty word, what should one wash one's mouth out 
with?

#4 of 29 by jenny on Mon Dec 9 05:14:14 1991:

Imaginary soap, of course.

I wash and wash with imaginary soap, but I still feel dirty.
Imaginary soap promotes compulsiveness.
The only thing that can be said for it is that it does not dry out my skin.

Well, that's something, anyway.

Bryan Case used to drive people nuts on ub/um by making up pseudos
(named after extremely obscure literary characters) and having them
argue with each other from totally different points of view.  We had
a few people convinced for a +very+ long time that "Laurel Goulding"
was really just a pseudo...then some idiot spilled the beans.

I have 2 popular pseudonyms on Grex & Arbornet, and find the diversion
to be good fun.

I don't have anything against this Case fellow, but I wish that I did, and
it was a wrecking ball.
