Oh fing wow.

Oh simply wow.

Come forth and talk to us, dude.
You are the man.

Of course Patrice is not his Wife. It's another model, and the Patrice account is also controlled by aka_sam.

Yes that seems likely, there are LOTS of photos of Patrice on the internet that I could not link to!!

Oh man, this thread should really be made into a book :-)

This kind of reminds me of the movie Tootsie.

Yes I can see the headline now,


"55 year old Canadian man poses as a woman online for 6 years, fools hundreds, posting pictures of glamorous models he pretended were her. Kills her off online, and is now posing as her 16 year old adopted daughter.

The University of Berkeley California refused to comment on the reports that SETI@Home was involved."

Perhaps you all need to stop and think about your expectations of gender and why it should make a difference as to how you treat someone?

It is easily explained; men are from Mars, Women are form Venus. aka_sam knows this and played it perfectly with the introduction of the nubile "Allie".

Someone should write a case study on this because its fascinating.


I said many many years ago, that some enterprising individual could get a good PhD from the human interactions upon the seti boards. Perhaps someone now will.

i THINK i HAVE A CHAPTER RESERVED IN THAT BOOK.

Hi Allie,

Yes I had a big soft spot for Kenzie as well, and she knew that.

I find it hilarious that as long as you all thought he was a pretty girl everything was ok.

Perhaps you all need to stop and think about your expectations of gender and why it should make a difference as to how you treat someone?

Now you're totally wrong here, to make this into a gender issue. It was not a question at all about "that as long as it was a pretty girl it was OK."

It was OK because we all thought it was a real person behind the keyboard, and not someone (no matter gender) faking the whole thing. When it came out that it was all a fake, it was no longer OK, and wouldn't have been OK even if the faked person hadn't been a "pretty girl".

Please Es, not everything is a gender issue. You seem to awfully often go down that line, no matter which subject that is brought up on this board.

May I indicate that you seem to be stuck on gender issues?

That is your interpretation. I have mine. Gender issues are really important and just because I am the only one who is bringing them up it doesn't mean I am "stuck" on them, it means I am the only only one bringing them up. It is the elephant in the room here. Its pretty obvious to me that that is part of the issue because it shaped how people interacted with her. It shaped how much people trusted her, and god knows it made a lot of the guys here go all gaga and protective over her. :D

We got a girl cat once and called her Nora. We loved her so much and then we took her to vet and it turned out he was a she. The weird thing was how much that mattered and how upset everyone was even though it was just a cat we were talking about. Nora didn't change, but our attitude to Nora did. He kept his name (because after all he was a cat and its not like they answer to their names anyway) and somehow the name Nora became masculine in our heads.

Gender is so pervasive and it really, really matters. Do you really think I haven't noticed that people talk to me differently depending on whether they think I am male or female? I bet everyone would have spoken a lot differently to Kenzie if they realised they were talking to a guy.

Very few people use their real names, we always knew that Kenzie wasn't her real name. The only thing that really is different is that Kenzie wasn't a she.

So yeah, I talk a lot about gender issues on a male dominated forum because I know I'm not preaching to choir and know that these are the people that need to hear it. Suck it up. I'm not planning on dropping it any time soon. :)

You are born and then die at some point. What one does in between those events is what counts.

Regardless of how anyone sees this issue, credit due to "KenzieB" in keeping us all entertained for seven years.

No fraud or criminal intent was involved so what is the problem?

I always tended to think of intellect before what sex a person is. Educated and informed people can be either male or female, as can those without those qualities.

The person representing Kenzie had the intellect and knowledge that separated him/her from many.

Even though there was deceit, there was also understanding.

I can always plonk/filter you, I'm not going to have anything more of that crap. So feel plonked/filtered. I don't need to read more from someone so stuck in the 70's gender issues. Come up to modern times.
Geeze...

PLONK

Goodbye.

I don't think its me that needs to come up to modern times, but whatever, I clearly touched a nerve. Its not that I don't appreciate your efforts to tell me to shut up about something that is important to me.

...but hey, I'm a woman so I'm used to it by now ;)

No need to dig, got superb recall. Totally enjoying your comments regarding your views of women.

No Nora was the best cat I ever had. He was the one that would drink my tea and turn on my radio in the middle of the night if I forgot to feed him. He was a very smart cat.
