Red Rag

I’ve been waiting for days to see what the Two Cents crowd would dig up about Ms Fits’ secret past. It all started when they told us she has a string of aliases:

Diana Elgar (who we believe writes professionally under the name Marieke Hardy)

The idea that she writes professionally under the name Marieke Hardy because that is her name didn’t cross the minds of these conspiracists. No, there had to be more to it, and we were urged to:

Stay tuned for an update.

Well, the “update” came, in the form of an Andrew Bolt “hatchet job” and another Two Cents post entitled “Watch it, Diana!” In it, Miranda Panda quotes Bolt’s ludicrous column, but replaces references to “Marieke Hardy” with “[Diana Elgar]“.

Tantalisingly, Alexander then promised he would pull off her mask to reveal the truth:

[M]y story as to how we found out that Ms Fits is Marieke Hardy is Diana Elgar… will (pending legal clarification) be made public either tomorrow or [T]uesday.

So when I checked back after a day in the library, eager to hear the latest about Alexander’s super-sleuth abilities, what did I find?

If this blogger is right, then our theory that Marieke Hardy’s real name is in fact Diana Elgar could be incorrect.

Really? The Two Cents collective “could be incorrect”?

I bet that came as a shock to most of you.

Here’s a clue, Alex:

Biography for Marieke Hardy

Well, gee, that was difficult.

(Oh, and Alex? This is not real.)
