Magilla says - Keep up the smart aleck attitude and I'll put your
dentist in a higher tax bracket.

...cool boast, thanks for sharing.

Don't you think it's only logical progression that after AlGore invented
the internet he had to save the earth?

Wait a minute Maggie while I remove my plate...OK, slap me silly...

I would love to meet Magilla face to face but then he would never do such a
thing.

...the persona known as Magilla Gorilla is, in my opinion, a very gifted
writer. This person makes me laugh.

But he has an annoying habit of sometimes switching gears and becoming
reasonable (to make a point) at times. Most of his writings are way out
there, but then he'll come back to earth and adopt a very civil tone and
rational argument.

They're not that far out there. They take things pretty far, but
there's usually some truth in them, which might be why he annoys you
so much.

There's a guy named Tyler Cowen who is one of the posters at an
econ-prof blog called Marginal Revolution. Every so often, when he wants
to make a contra-his-real-feelings point, he turns over the blog to his
alter ego, Tyrone. (eg Tyrone makes the principled case for rent
control, etc.)

The difference is that when Tyler posts as Tyrone, he's being insincere.
