When the Blogger Misrepresents

For I have sworn thee fair, and thought thee bright, who art as black as hell, as dark as night.

William Shakespeare (1564-1616) British poet and playwright.

The sure way to be cheated is to think one's self more cunning than others.

François de La Rochefoucauld (1613-1680) French writer.

Back in the early days of the Meredith Kercher murder trial in Perugia,  Italy,   I was a frequent visitor on a blog of a certain notoriety. From this blog came my initial impressions and opinions on the case.


 In fact,  so impressed was I with the blog master's psychoanalytic theorizing about the defendants, Amanda Knox and Raffaele Sollecito,  that many of my own blog postings about the case were based on those theories,  and I became an avid admirer and follower ,  flattered to receive attention from this source on my own blog.  


Now  I come to find out that this person,  who oddly enough called herself "Ms. Represented",  was less than honest about her own identity and credentials.  From the JRandi forums,  Sep 1,  2011:

Signs that Ellie Davies-Hoare/Ewing aka Miss Represented is a Psychopath. Miss Represented -- I do not feel that anything I have to say on this matter will further tarnish the reputation of Amanda Knox who (with a little help from her media friends) has already succeeded admirably in this respect. Followers of this case are well aware of Miss Represented. A blogger who represented herself as a psychologist giving insights into the Meredith Kercher case in 2009. It seems she misrepresentedherself as an experienced Psychologist. In reality she is a recent University of Bath graduate working as a Social Media Analyst and has never been a working Psychologist. Her only previous work in psychology was a summer internship and before that her only previous work, according to her linkedin profile, was working at a spa.

It is the standard we have come to expect from these sites that do not seek or honor the truth. In this post TJMK's Peter Quennell represents her as having a doctorate in Criminal Psychology: http://i.imgur.com/47guL.png Peter Quennell calls her a Psychologist and Miss Represented lets it stand: http://i.imgur.com/d64SI.png Harry Rag promotes her credentials: http://i.imgur.com/7PVSg.png The Machine promotes her also: http://i.imgur.com/CEQoY.png http://i.imgur.com/JkQ5o.png - A professional in the field http://i.imgur.com/55e7h.png - Peter Quennell http://i.imgur.com/t6Xnc.png - Mis Representing http://i.imgur.com/eAqfn.png - Alexa traffic Lies Our Mothers Told Us Miss Represented http://missrepresented.net/blog/ WHOIS search results for: MISSREPRESENTED.NET http://who.godaddy.com/whois.aspx?do...rog_id=GoDaddy http://twitter.com/#!/EllieHobbit https://plus.google.com/111584037258957825521/posts

It would appear the Knox/Sollectio case has made many of us unscrupulous in our methods of conveying our opinions within the blogosphere.
