And the winner is… Andrew. And Budles was correct that this was a cruel trick, because I did indeed post this then immediately zoom off to Fan Faire to provide ample time for the suspense to both mount and fully dissipate. The revelation would have been anti-climactic if I’d confirmed it within a day or two, and since I’m into shameless self-promotion, I decided it would be better to make you want to know who I was, let you forget that you cared, then pull you back in by confirming the suspicions.

What a let down…and to think, I hung on your every word Mr. Gnome…I built you into a god, an idea that was beyond that of flesh and blood…an embodiment of reason and law pure and unbound by the confines of our limited coil… to find that you are just a finite being of fallacy and emotion like the rest of us…it is far too much for me to take in…say it ain’t so…to find out you are really some MOG Community manager would tear me and my world apart…let me live my lie…for just a bit…longer

Blackguard it is. Web.archive.org confirms it. I suck at puzzles.

Like others have said, it looks like “Ryan Shwayder” for teh win (based on Googling for Grouchy Gnome at least).

This looks like it's a cruel trick. If Andrew is right, and I think I agree that he is based on the clues, Grouchy Gnome should be going to Fan Faire for the next week. That would mean he won't respond and confirm anything until he's back if we are right!
