Sock Puppetry on Blogs

We are just catching the tailend of this kerfuffle.

The referenced post is pretty funny.

Our question: If you are already The Great One, why is it necessary to brag about it; not only brag about it but pound it into your political opponents?

And if you want to make your meteoric rise an issue on an opponent's blog, why is it necessary to say so? Why make yourself an issue when the whole reason for blogging is to engage others in debate about events not in our direct control?

And if this Glenn Greenwald is actually any or all of the sock puppets referenced in the story link, published author or not, influencial leftist or not, he's just f*cking weird!

If you have something to add, Fire Away!
