Yes, she was being deceptive. No, she was not being maliciously deceptive, as her "agentself" was merely doing the same thing that a seperate agent would have done, being an advocate for the actor.
The difference is that the third party _expects_ the agent to praise the actor. In L Detweilers example, the pseudo-spoofer was using the _lack_ of expectation to his/her advantage.
Disclaimer: I have aprox 100 Cypherpunk messages to read following this one. My point was that the women still pretended to be someone else, and had a completely different personality for this Agent. She did it to be deceptive. All of L Detweiler's post have stated that he doesn't like people's abilities to pretend to be someone else. My point was that people do this all the time. Even to the extent that people act differently around others. When you talk on cypherpunks do you have the same "Personality" as when you talk to others who don't own computers? -Matt | Please get my public key if you wish (panzer@drown.slip.andrew.cmu.edu) | to verify that this message is mine.
