Something different for you tonight. This is a true tale of crime and punishment on-line in the early internet age, originally published in the Village Voice in December 1993. I found myself really drawn into the scenario and "characters" involved.
I was struck by how relevant it felt 25 years later, whatever perspective you have on Dibbell's conclusions. I never knew Mr. Bungle but I feel sure it was his spirit, 8 years after his mysterious disppearance, animating 13-year-old me to enter the "Horse Lovers" AOL chatroom and tell them how much I loved the taste of horse.

I spent some time on a MUSH back in the day (around 2004-50 that I can't remember the name of. It used "Ser" and "Sera" as honorifics and the setting was a castle in the mountains. It was not directly Ice and Fire or Tolkien related (original idea do not steal) I can' t imagine that any of you were there too and can help me out but hope springs.
