Utterly, Completely Flattered! (Unauthorized) FakeRossKodner Debuts on Twitter!

By Ross

Yesterday I discovered the Twitter persona, FakeRossKodner at www.twitter.com/FakeRossKodner. Yes folks, it’s my very own unauthorized parody Twitter account!

To say that I’m flattered would be an understatement. After all, think about the kind of people who have an admirer / stalker / PW (personal whackjob) create a “fake” info source for them. The only person I can think of off the top of my head is Steve Jobs and the famous Fake Steve Jobs site (now at http://www.fakesteve.net/) that got tons of press for years. I actually can’t recall a single other person in the history of the legal technology world that has their own unauthorized fake site, fake Twitter feed, fake blog, fake social media account, etc. So for a major ego boost, who could ask for more?

So to think that I’m in the same kind of category – ANY kind of similar category to his Steveness is wildly flattering. On the other hand, Steve Jobs doesn’t exactly have the reputation of being a particularly nice guy and I do think I’m a pretty decent sort most of the time :-)

So to whomever has the extra time on their hands to write a parody Twitter feed of me (and I love the really frightening picture he/she found – I think it was taken during either a CLE I did in Montreal last year or in Chicago – it kind of reminds me, disturbingly, of the Nuremberg Rally . . . egads!), I salute you. As long as you don’t cross the libel line (in which case, I will press Twitter to remove the account), go for it – I got quite a good laugh yesterday and we all could use more humor in our lives, right?

Oh, in case you grassy knoll conspiracy theorist types might be wondering . . . no, it’s not me writing it (although I have to admit, I wish I had thought of it :-)).
