Hmph! I even encouraged others to lighten up on him. Of course he always deserved the beatings he took, but sometimes I thought the beatings were a little out of proportion to the offense.

I read "The Shining" review and actually thought that was Lex's. Didn't suspect a thing. The verbosity/lengthy sentences did read like his, but I should have known it wasn't when there was no mention of his "ex", or moving to Vegas, or the good ol' days in Brooklyn, or his colleagues, or his editors.(FN1) I don't think he picked that review at random. He's probably been copying the original author's style for a long time to the point where he could pass one off as his own. Fortunately for the original author, it IS a small world after all.

But what is striking is there was nothing to be gained by this shameful act.
