(Some parts of this are extrapolation, without having personally seen some of the evidence, but it seems like the best fit for the observed events I do know of.) Curt had previously seen Miles Fidelman posting in one style, presumably a calm, friendly, tolerant sort of one. Then Miles Fidelman made a post which Curt interpreted as being in a more abrasive, hostile, or otherwise negative style. Curt asked about two possible hypothetical explanations for this perceived change of tone: a "personality transplant", or a displaced reaction to some traumatic event, such as the death of a (presumably beloved) pet. When questioned about what he meant by this question, Curt explained the question (perhaps poorly) by making a reference to Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, using the names of Miles Fidelman. Then people promptly started expressing confusion over the whole thing, and here we are. - -- The Wanderer Secrecy is the beginning of tyranny.
