Some Good Natured Ribbing

By Christopher Annunziata

Reading Overlawyered today, I chuckled at Walter’s description of this story over at LegalBlogWatch about lawyers being fooled by fake Twitters.  Then I read the story.

Turns out that one of the mediation blogging community’s very own, Vickie Pynchon was one of those fooled.  Really, Vickie?  The name Beatrice Bitcher didn’t sound just a little unusual to you? Her posts claiming to demand an associate act as her personal slave all weekend didn’t sound fishy? C’mon.

I guess you can count yourself in good company as Star Jones was sucked into a Twitter conversation with Bitcher’s fictional law partner Prickman.

And, if it makes you feel better, Vickie, falling for the Bitcher posts is not as bad as the law professors over at Volokh Conspiracy (among others) who fell for the fake Twitter account the guys at Popehat created, claiming to be the official North Korean news agency.
