    As the dust seems to settle on the @Sciencing_Bi / @McLNeuro matter (note I say seems ... who knows?), a few observations from someone who asked a few questions and shared a few facts ... and nothing more of note ...

        I was astonished by the number of people who swore by someone they never met. Catfishing does not spare people with advanced degrees. If anything, they offer rather involved rationales.

        I was amused by the people who, having believed in @Sciencing_bi's existence, begrudgingly came late to the realization that they had been duped, but then posed as the heroes of the story, especially to internet journalists. The timeline of tweets suggests a different narrative.

        And I've seen very little in terms of remorse or apologies by people who were "true believers" who lashed out at doubters or people who raised simple questions.

        In fact, some of those very people then spent a great deal of time telling us about how hurt they were or how they had been victims ... overlooking how other people had been victimized. A lot of posturing, especially by @McLNeuro's friends.

        And then there were the people who said they knew all along that @sciencing_bi was a sockpuppet account, or that they "knew" things they chose not to reveal, suggesting a sense of self-importance that outweighed any interest in the welfare of real victims.

        I wonder whether we'll learn more about what happened that will change the narrative. But there is no doubt that it's still to be seen how much damage this caused in a number of areas. It might have been better to keep that foremost in our minds.

        All in all, it was an interesting episode. A sad one, to be sure, and a troubling one. I learned a lot about one's investment in belief and a corresponding resistance to finding out the truth, followed by a quick shift in narrative. Take care ...

        ... and thanks to those who asked the right questions and did the digging to uncover the evidence that revealed that things were not what some insisted they were.
