One of the most amusing (and irritating) comment makers on this blog uses the name Peter Hitchens, he writes from a sometimes witty, sometimes demented hard right-wing position. As does the comment maker. The
real other Peter Hitchens has been in touch to complain.* So can the impersonator change his user name, so we can avoid getting into a
“no, I am Spartacus” bun fight. In fact Guido would like to invite the impersonator to publicly announce his name change in a post where he can also outline his world-view.
Email to sort this out.
UPDATE :
Hitchens
has a blog! Not a very busy blog, maybe “Peter Hitchens” should go and comment over there….
UPDATE II : Have had second thoughts about getting “Peter Hitchens” to change his user name, can he just put his name in ironic quotation marks at least?
UPDATE III : Peter Hitchens has just emailed from the Mail on Sunday to confirm he really is himself. He thought it all very funny until people began thinking it really was him. Is that clear?
