What was mieskie's problem? Was he just super-annoying?
Mal: He calls back, you keep them occupied. Wash: What do I do, shadow puppets?

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

I seem to recall insulting, condescending, and confrontational in the mix too.

Our wings are not tired.
I mean, unless you count the girlfriend who showed up to announce his pseudicide
Yeah, I was counting this.
Oh yeah, Dana/shrift. Which means I met you on the Embarcadero last year. Cool!

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."

And obscene. And a jackass. And very talkative.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Mieskie was at least three people--also schmoker and anathema. And then at least one minor spelling variation.
to use Rachel Dawes as an example of a movie character with depth
Gyllenhaal Dawes, perhaps? Certainly not Holmes. It's a loose and generous interpretation.

All posts from schmoker are under the name Anathema, so I assume he must have requested a name change at some point. Though I don't remember, and my head hurts now.

I was assuming Gyllenhaal Dawes, with the mentions of her moral code and Lawyer Powers.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Schmoker requested a name change to Anathema. I have no idea why I remember that. I was, as far as I remember, completely uninvolved in that whole scene, might even have still been lurking.

aurelia told me she got the idea his actual name was Michael and that now she always pictures him as Michael from SGA. And that helps a lot, actually. Try rereading his posts with a bit of a sibilant wraith hiss - it works!

Yup, from reading B'cracy, it seems his real name is Michael. I hadn't remembered that two of the names were the same ID. He did try to come back as mmmieskie (eta: and I find a mieskie/ and a /mieskie), but that doesn't count as pretending to be someone else. mieskie was, IIRC, the banned persona.
eta: Batman Begins Dawes was also trying the legal route to clean up the city, wasn't she?
