Wait A Minute... How Do You Know I'm Who I Say I Am, Either?

It's not just that the blogger "A Gay Girl in Damascus," who had become very big with left-wingers interested in the Middle East, turned out to be an American man who lied about who he/she was. It's also that the prominent lesbian blogger who called him out as possibly being fake ALSO turned out to be a man. They give blogging a bad name; It's not the case that people who blog aren't ever who they say they are. But it hurts. And it also raises the question of how you can trust anything they said on any issue, because if they're willing to lie about their own existence, they're willing to lie about anything.
