Well, yes. Some joker might actually make a hiring or credit decision against a person named in these forums. But would you want to work for someone
that stupid? I mean, ya know, consider the source? Check facts?
Secondly, more importantly, there's a LOT of satire as well as unbelievable true stories about real bad guys all over these forums. Do you believe, for example, that the staff of Elan had the students participate in burying a girl alive out in the woods at night and that no one ever saw or heard from her again?
Honest to god, I can't be sure. Can you? But it sure would fuck w/ Elan's reputation; especially those individuals who are
still there all these decades later.
How am I supposed to make that call? I can't. It's entirely up to you, dear reader, what you wish to believe.
If anyone is seriously threatened or frightened by this guy, I highly recomend that you take it to the authorities and tell them who you suspect it is. They'll check it out, they'll assess the threat level. They can't
all be in Sembler's pocket. In fact I suspect their power is waning right along with the Büsh regime's popularity numbers.
But if what you're feeling is not frightened or threatened, but merely annoyed and angry, then I would NOT recomend calling in the authorities. It would just be way out of line and inequitable. Annoyance and offense does not justify condemning the annoying prick to being some big, sweaty lifer's bitch.
There is something feeble and contemptible about a man who cannot face life without the help of comfortable myths.
