Bugaboo was not Eric. He was a journalist from Oklahoma. It's possible that he and Eric may have shared screen identities on occasion as a joke (there was an instance of a screen identity being shared by a relatively large number of folk), but I doubt it. They have very different and distinct writing styles. Anyway, I was Bugaboo's target many a time, mostly because I was easily goaded into an argument (still am, I guess, but not as much now). Some of his stuff was very good and insightful, and showed a remarkable grasp of D&D rules, the use of irony, and a sense of the absurd. Too often he could be quite mean, though.
