    I'm not even sure what is going on here..
    A person claiming to be a married male baseball writer was fired from two gigs for harassing women online. .... But (I think), the writer is actually a 21-year-old woman.
    I have No idea if she was actually writing, while posing as a male writer.

    I don't know how many true old-timers we have left around here, but this crazy-ass story reminded me of at least two very early posters--a "very connected" midwesterner and a profane, telling it like it is without giving any fucks "NHL writer" from New York--who concocted back stories about themselves that were quite easily disproven either by a Yahoo search or, if you were unfortunate like me, a face-to-face meeting. They would have been catfishers, if they were smart enough to pull it off. Back me up here, true old-timers.

    The best part about this anecdote is the matter-of-fact reference to a “Yahoo! search.”

    Haha I threw that in there b/c I wasn't sure if Google had taken over the world by 2003.

    This story is more confusing than Sean Hannity's attempts to cover for Roy Moore.
