Dear all,
A suspicion has been festering in me for some time, and it has now come to a head (shows what happens if you don't squeeze it in the bud).
It started (I believe) with the "Ronaldus Magnus" letter in the megazine a few issues ago. Then there was Keane. Now Martin Daulby. I may have missed some examples along the way, but you get the general gist. Letters expressing outrage from a frankly odd viewpoint about the socio-political viewpoint of 2000AD and the Megazine. Letters written in a style frankly unlike most of those Tharg gets in his bulging sack every week. Letters, in short, that seem to bear all the hallmarks of...A SATIRIST.
Yes, somewhere out there - almost certainly reading this board - someone is writing letters in the old Spike Milligan mould. Parodies of political viewpoints, designed only to stir up trouble.
And, from the fake Keane debate, we know that the person doing it reads this board.
So come on, who are you?

Who would do such a thing? Well it's not me, so don't go getting any ideas, let's just drop the whole thing now, eh?
P.S Not me

Nah, not his style, that'd be a sneaky, underhand kind of evil.
Say what you will about the trout, his is a very open and upfront brand of evil :)

Except for the time I tried to hypnotise everyone into destroying society.
I flatter myself that that was underhand.
However, despite my general evil and megalomania, I am anxious to stress I share very few of Keane's views.
That post was a joke, as the continued existence of Bou (Pete can confirm this in ways I don't even want to describe) will confirm.
Hmmm. Being too sensible here.
Perhaps I should pass a law requiring you all to have sex with aubergines, or something.
Or simply scream, once more:
ALL HAIL ME!

I will never bow down to you trout, for I am from a noble lineage of holy warriors. In the past my bloodline has fought tyranny, oppression and hatred in the most horrendous of odds and yet we have always prevailed. No mere fish will bring an end to this proud tradition
PEOPLE REJOICE! I, KOSTABI, HAST COME TO FREE YOU ALL FROM THE IRON RULE OF KING TROUT!!!!
Or something like that...

the idea its one person sending in these letters
it is very very difficult to do that.
if its written on a computer you can correct the and aviod the standard mistakes you always make no matter what you writing.
but as for actual content. its very difficult to do.you would betray yourself after a handful of letters.
its the nature of the profile which you build. no matter how hard you try you end up,having a reoccuring theme.
i think its a case of one got his letter printed and the handful of others who read tooth adn share the thoughts also wrote in.
you have to say its better then. i love this i loathe that.
i think its a several people.but they dont have the wish to post here.
