Schmoker just posted this morning in When come back bring tape.
Bureaucracy 1: Like Kafka, Only Funnier
A thread to discuss naming threads, board policy, new thread suggestions, and anything else that has to do with board administration and maintenance. Guaranteed to include lively debate and polls. Natter discouraged, but not deleted.

Then I think someone should ask him, yet again, if he's mieskie.
That quote pretty much admits it anyway, right?

No. He started the discussion in bureaucracy ?last week? by asking how come Cordy could be snarky on the show, but we can't on the boards. Much angst ensued, he took some time off, he came back (and does seem to have toned it down). That's probably what he's referring to.
No, John, I respectfully disagree. Schmoker had his own "bad experience," completely separate from any mieskie-ness. Not that that conclusively disproves separate identity, but it doesn't prove it, either.
Schmoker is going out of his way to play by our rules, at present. I'm very much for the sleeping puppies rule as long as that's the case.
It's a good quote, though. It deserved to be in COMM because it seems to signal an attitude shift I would want to hear about, and has funny context.
OK sorry I was out of line there. And I forgot that he had his own bad experience. It's interpretable either way.
John H, you're not the only one with suspicions. I am reserving the right to be suspicious. Way too many coincidences for my taste.
edited to add: not that this cries for action, just that that is the way that I feel.
The thing that gets me is that he's been asked, more than once, to confirm or deny, and he's never replied. But of course, we don't know if he's read the post.
John, why don't you send an e-mail?

I COMMed it because it made me laugh fairly early in the morning. At this time of day, I'd say it also is (to me) a good humored acknowledgement of the growing pains we all had last week, and am with Beverly on the sleeping puppies, regardless of my opinion on the identity issue.
On edit, I see it wasn't that early - but it felt early.
