Over on Twitter, where you can find me @agreencow it has been a fun few hours today. Let us begin where it all began for me.

I received a retweeted tweet (if you are not up with the terms, don’t worry), saying to follow @andrewbolt, which is a fake account, because the real Andrew Bolt, Herald-Sun columnist and convicted defamer, was having a hissy fit about the Twitter account.  Naturally being the good little sheep I sometimes am, I followed.

Well it was laughs a minute reading the goings on. Being someone who enjoys putting my two cents worth in for a laugh, I joined in with the fun. Now to give you all a bit of a timeline, here are some of the tweets:

Liam Bantock was the first to kick off the silliness for me, with his fine tweet:

liam_b I just saw someone wearing an ABC shirt typing on their iPhone. I think they might be the fake @andrewbolt #boltgate

Which was retweeted (resent) by @andrewbolt. To which I decided to reply, as obviously now there were “sightings” of the person behind the twitter account. I wrote:

Vegetarian in a hemp t-shirt spotted in Brunswick Twittering on a public access computer. Obviously the fake @AndrewBolt

This was followed a few minutes later with a pop culture reference to one of the best films ever made:

John Cusack, Cameron Diaz and Ned Bellamy to star in new cult movie, Being Andrew Bolt. #BoltGate

I then tweeted about not enjoying the new place I had chosen for my lunch that day, as they were demanding to charge a different price to that which was advertised, but the place was new, so I gave them a break by not naming and shaming them. While I was waiting for my lunch to be cooked, I thought of a couple more Bolt related tweets I could do:

The truth is out there. @AndrewBolt is the real reason #GetThis was axed.

and

Google Earth image confirms it’s @AndrewBolt standing on grassy knoll in Dallas, 1963.

I figured Get Thisians enjoy this kind of humour, so why not cut them in on the deal, by linking in Get This with Andrew Bolt. After all, Get This listeners generally consider Guy Dobson to be a big prick for axing the show, and it is widely known that Andrew Bolt is considered a prick by many, for the views he expresses. Get This lovers would see the humorous connection between the two. I then took it to the ridiculous by claiming that not only was Andrew Bolt the much theorised second gunman involved in the assassination of the American president John F Kennedy, but the whole thing was captured as a Google Earth image. Talk about insane and impossible, but I got a giggle out of it, and I thought others would.

As I travelled home, I wondered if this whole thing might be a conspiracy, and the @andrewbolt, really was Andrew Bolt, and he was complaining about it to drum up a news story. I thought it would be funny if it was investigated and found out to be true, how much of a field day that would be for social media everywhere. Which was tweeted as such:

I’m going to love it if @andrewbolt is proven to be Andrew Bolt faking being Andrew Bolt as a way to try & boost his ego/profile. #BoltGate

Obviously with a 140 character limit, you can’t write too many details or much explanation.

So when I get home tonight, the first hour or so is filled with chatting on the net to people from my footy club, about my knee injury, new jumper designs, and upcoming dinner nights. Eventually I get around to checking my emails, and low and behold, I find that Andrew Bolt (the real one, not the Twitter one that is a fake one, but this time the real Andrew Bolt) is now following me on twitter.

Well Andrew, just to let you know, and so the rest of the world knows, I am not in any way @andrewbolt on twitter. For the record, I can’t remember the last time I purchased a copy of the Herald-Sun, in fact I think it would go back to when I became too old to be a Sunbeamer. I have long held the view that the Herald-Sun only gets two things right, the Comics and the page numbering, and quite often the page numbering is wrong. Just so it is known, I am also not a reader of the Age, as I find that to just be a larger print format of the Herald-Sun these days. I greatly limit my commercial news exposure, as there is a heavy bias towards views I do not agree with, and a clear choice to only “report” “news” that will ensure maximum readership/revenue. When it comes to your column, the few times I have chosen to read it I have found it to be extremely bias, outrageous in the views expressed, and one that leaves a clearly noticeable tingling sensation in the back of my mouth from the reflux it has caused.

So I would just like it to be known that I am nothing more than an occasional blogger, who likes to tweet the unusual thoughts that flow though my brain. I have no interest, nor the time to spend my time mocking you, when it is clear by the media exposure you get, you do a good enough job of that yourself, and good luck to you, as it is clearly earning you an income that suits your means. As an example of how little I know about you, it wasn’t until I read your bio that I knew you were on MTR (Massively Trashy Right wing) radio.

So good luck finding out who it is behind the @andrewbolt account, for they have made you out to be a tool, but your actions in trying to be some big knob head who thinks he can control the world just as Judge Roy Bean knew how too, well you are just proving what a tool you are.
