I think there must be some kind of cll conservation principle at work
here. Kenny is clearly expanding to fill the void left by Erik,
although so far he is but a pale imitation.

No, no, no, this is a complete disaster. Your first mistake leads to the
second. There are only minor commonalities between Erik and me, such as
usually being the first to identify trolls and idiots. This is no
justification for your pattern recognition system to come up with
"filling the void", but once it does your upper cortex clings to that
"fact" and then starts whining about "pale imitations".

It's not a complete disaster -- you're right that Tim was making a
fallacy by casting you as The New Erik, but I think he was on to
something with the filling the void bit. Except I'd have phrased it
as filling a niche.

See, this is the kind of thing Erik would have pounced on so quickly
and thoroughly that there wouldn't be any room left for others. His
absence allows other organisms to come in and consume the resources
that now sit there unused. That is to say that Tiltus kennae is
feeding on the same creatures that Naggum erikus used to.

(And as far as I can tell, I'm on the same bull*** I ever was)
