Interview: Jacek Pudlo & Conrad Cook -- discuss themselves, each other, and Emily Short; Conrad Cook accuses Jacek Pudlo of being realy Adam Thornton, and not a character out of an IF after all; feminism and political correctness are discussed; and mention is even made of interactive fiction!

[interview blanked out for the time being - see below]

Jacek Pudlo is Adam Thornton?! And he would have gotten away with it, if it weren't for you pesky kids.

Or Adam Thornton showed up pretending to be Jacek Pudlo just to prank you.

Given that Pudlo is from Sweden, I doubt he made a special trip to Boston on your account.

What makes you say he's from Sweden?

Is that like him being a Jew? Having a wife and daughter who he doesn't let use the internet? Having round-the-clock sex that prevents him from writing IF? Staying with a billionaire friend who he insults as much as he wants, who responds to this by giving him the keys to the Jag before flying to Thailand to see the Iraqi Prime Minister?

I could have gotten it wrong. I didn't, but I could have. So:

How do you know?

My current leading theory is that Conrad Cook is Jacek! Displaced blame is a good cover, but not good enough for an ace detective like myself.

Truly, the troll -- whether Thornton or someone else -- does use numerous other little troll masks to move conversations along. It's his primary way of interacting socially. He's good at it.

To be honest, JJ -- with your Scooby Doo reply to this serious matter, I figured you were one.

Just chiming in to say that I know Conrad and can guarantee the community that he is not Jacek Pudlo. Jacek was active even when Conrad was on one of his sojourns, so it's just not possible.

Perhaps I was overly flippant. I don't really think Conrad is Jacek, and I agree that there is a serious issue here about anonymous abuse spoiling public spaces, and the potential abuses of trust that can flow from multiple online identities.

Well, Adam just replied to my email to him from earlier today.

Therefore I sent him this:


Quote:
Adam,

It looks to me like you're Jacek Pudlo, and I've posted that to intfiction.org

viewtopic.php?f=4&t=4254

--Now, one thing you can do to effectively deny this claim is to forward to me, as quickly as you can, the raw email exchange between you and "Jacek" for his interview of you.

Since it's intended for publication, and since it was *your* interview, I'm sure there's no privacy issue involved there.

The existence of such an exchange would support the counter-claim that you're not him. I'll post the outcome of this exchange to intfiction.org either way.

Please respond quickly with the email exchange if it's possible. I don't want to cause you trouble if I'm wrong.


Conrad.

I have responded to Conrad's blackmail attempt by:

a) calling him an asshole

b) sending the demanded correspondence, for which I apologize to Mr. Pudlo.

It appears it was a successful blackmail attempt, as, although I hold Mr. Pudlo and his work in rather more esteem than the rest of the community, I do not wish to be identified with him.

I am not Jacek Pudlo.

I would cordially invite Conrad Cook to suck my hairy nutsack.

Adam
