Playing games with information: investigating perceptions of a mobile content sharing game

In late 1793 and early 1794, a Gentleman's Magazine correspondent signing himself 'Indagator' published two letters which amounted to a slur on the character of Mark Akenside, the then-famous poct of The Pleasures of Imagination.(1) 'Indagator' claimed that in 1744, early in his professional career as a doctor, Akenside had resorted to dishonourable tactics in trying to entice away the clients of James (later Sir James) Stonhouse, who had been a resident medical practitioner in Northampton since the previous year.

It is unclear whether Doddridge's carefully worded protests against such conduct had the effect of diverting Stonhouse from his plan; and no record (beyond the vague aspersions of 'Indagator') remains of how Akenside conducted himself in his attempt to carve out a practice for himself in Northampton.

In sum, 'Indagator's' refusal to produce any evidence to support his claims, his disapproval of Akenside's politics and what he assumes to be his religious views, and his unqualified support for Stonhouse, combine radically to compromise his reliability; while Doddridge's letter shows that Stonhouse at least considered the possibility of using dirty tricks in competing with Akenside for patients in Northampton.
