Revelation

Now that Spanblather has been going for well over two years and made it across that 100,000 hit milestone I think it may be time to 'fess up.

Early in my blog career I was rather frequently mistaken by readers and other bloggers for a man. However the mistake was not quite as I portrayed it.

Their error was not that they had attributed a Y when there was an X. It was that this persona I had created, who morphed from "Spannergirl" to "Spannergrrl" to "span(ner in the works)" to just "Span", was supposed to be a chick and those damn fool readers who weren't fooled were a pain in the arse. Luckily I seemed to overcome my early mistakes as I grew into the "woman" you see before you, and now there is little doubt of my irrational femininity.

So finally I can reveal, after Spanblather's biggest month ever, that in fact I am not a young(ish) leftie feminist woman, although "Span" is modelled on just such a girl I knew in my university days. Snivelling socialist bitch that she was, at least she was useful for this little project.

Those who read Kiwiblog know the real me. There I comment frequently and with gusto, purging all my true thoughts about the Stalinist Left and this communist government and working out all the guilt and rage that I feel from this deception I have practiced upon you all. My words on Kiwiblog are my true words - the strong and undeniable truths of a red-blooded Kiwi bloke who believes in individual responsibility, a minimalist state, and an end to politically correct namby-pamby bullshit practiced by those who generally just need to get over themselves, do a hard day's work and stop drinking bloody chardonnay.

Ah, that feels so much better.

Yours in the fight against Clark's creeping Communism,
Redbaiter
