Where have you gone, Ubbie?

It appears that the renown secret commenter, Dr. Uhberschnitzel has left the building. The once controversial writer of comments has disappeared from the blog.



The good Doctor had been a follower, and diligent commenter on all things bloggish, but the gauntlet was both thrown and accepted, and our friend the Extra Cut of Meat has given up the challenge.



Let me explain. There was much ado and hoopla as to who the mysterious doctor was, and accusations flew fast and furious, as did the denials and the turkey legs. However, like the Biblical Esther of old, Ubbie would not reveal himself, and a challenge was issued to this Doctor, and his sidekick, the Soupy one, to try and figure out who the sylph ( possibly both definitions applying) was.

The challenge accepted and the game afoot, Doc Ubbie continued to comment, but the comments were held to try and get a communique from him. This did not materialize, and in a fit of pique, the comments stopped and Sir Schnitzel removed him/herself from the followers list. I assume as revenge for the held comments, since it is, of course, a source of prestige for the blogger to have public followers.

So we say a fond farewell to the good Doctor Uhberschnitzel, it was nice to have you, even if the others did not get to see you comments, I did, and enjoyed them. Please remember you are always welcome to return, just say the word.

Your secret, should you choose to reveal yourself, shall remain with me, but your comments shall once again be shared with the world.

Looks like you were outplayed....

Dr. G. W. Greunkern said...

I think not, Mr., or Ms. Mist. Here you are, under a different name ( nice play on sylph, though) but having given up your previous, infamous incarnation.

So who wins, other than the enthralled readers?

I'd have to say, that Dr. Greunkern is certainly NOT the winner. What kind of establishment are you running? Your rule is no anonymous posting, Uberwhozits had a name, and that wasn't good enough. None of the posts were offensive, and yet YOU chose to censor him, in a wild eyed and crazy scheme to "smoke him out." Ridiculous. Enjoy the repartee, who cares who he is.

FBB you do not know if the any of the posts were offensive because you never saw the edited ones. And I for one found many of "Ubbie's" comments to be a bit on the nasty side.

i think Ubbie was really Doctor Greunkern, trying to increase his ratings

ok, I admit it. I am, or was, Dr. Uhberschnitzel but having been smoked out I will henceforth post under my real assumed name

wonderful, welcome dr fausty. Keep posting so we can glean clues to your real, true, identity.

If you really WERE Sir Ubbie, or you are merely a pretender trying to claim the title??????

Oh, the tangled webs we weave
