…but now I think better of it and won’t use it. I was hoping to mock him in the vein of others who have created [phony accounts for world leaders/dictators](http://www.huffingtonpost.com/claire-calzonetti/funniest-dictator-tweets_b_712539.html).

However, there seems to be so much at risk, I can’t think of anything funny to say that someone could not see and take seriously. Too much risk of inciting someone.

Oh well, maybe I will mock him later.

I’d’ve tried an account that said something like I’m not Rev Terry Jones.

Oh and to mention something else. During the G8 conference in Toronto, a comedian friend of mine Twittered as the security fence. Once I learned about it - from someone/somewhere other than my friend! - I was quite amused by it, and found the writing very witty. Once my friend revealed it was actually her, I had to give her a standing O.

I’d love to write about him having a road to Damascus-style revelation about Gay Jesus that leads to Rev. Terry Jones coming out of the closet.

Yeah, that would probably upset a few people.
