If someone is 100% a rotten swine, a single percentage point or
two taken away from that 100% hardly matters. You might say
that Raid/Dustin Cook is 98.99% a swine. Hardly makes a
difference does it?

Not to be nitpicking, but it's me you owe the apology too; not folks in
general. :)

In so far as rotten swine goes.. the post with an address you made the
other day puts you in the same place I was in a few years ago. An outing,
is an outing, regardless of the intent in doing it. And no matter how you
slice it, it's a rotten thing to do. I know, as i've been accused of
doing it myself; and unlike you, I had an indirect hand in it, not, alas
a direct one, like yourself.

Besides, as has been pointed out to you several times now, your drinking
koolaid if you think the things I wrote as raid were all real or should
have been taken as such. Another poster pointed that out to you. Here's
what the individual said (which you for whatever reason, still choose to
ignore); You'd probably still be trying to claim I wrote the snuff post
if so many others hadn't called you on the misattribution. Same with the
other one you did. Your jumping the gun and I've noticed. :)

Anyways, heres the post which sums it all up for you.

In a previous post, I likened usenet to an RPG like Leisure Suit Larry.
RAiD was an online persona, I can't think of any reason to accept those
as "real" even though they are "genuine" posts. The internet was not
"real" for many people - it was a place to live out a fantasy,
especially when there was a feeling that anonymity was possible *and*
everlasting. Of course now, the internet is more *real* for people than
actual reality is - consider the rise in cyber-bullying and the young
people commiting suicide over writing on their "wall".

I feel even the genuine posts are being used by the spammer to mislead
the public IOW they are "lies" in that they are being portrayed as
*real*. It is obvious to most of us that Dustin had 'turned over a new
leaf' so to speak (ten years ago) and bringing up those posts (with
accompanying 'color commentary') is just as disengenuous as repeatedly
bringing up the missattributed post by Rebecca.

Judging by current behavior, Dustin seems much more trustworthy than
PCButts does. For all I know, PCButts may have been a trustworthy person
ten years ago - it is their behavior *now* that counts.
