I think that it would be possible to address, even in T.O., not as a story that is likely to be true, but rather as a phenomenon. I find that a number of people from DU who I respect very much seem to find it a real possibility. I do not. I read their information with an open mind, but it doesn't seem real to me.

I disagree, respectfully, with your statement about this being a product of the internet. This is, rather, just an example of this type of phenomenon occuring on the internet; however, it is one of many such issues that has occured for thousands of years.

At the same time that I do not believe it to be true, I find that it is worthy of discussion. I do not think that it reflects "badly" in any way on the democratic left. It may focus more attention on the important issue of who this fellow Gannon really is.
