Troll-boy’s posted links to malware-infested sites on multiple occasions. 
Once might be an accident. Twice might be co-incidence. Three times is enemy 
action.

I wouldn’t know the exact number, I stopped clicking on his links after the 
RAT attempted to download. I have seen others report malware on his links. 
Either he’s Typhoid Mary reborn or it’s deliberate.

i don't know the exact number either, but it's way the hell more than

as i said, he posts a *lot* of crap, so 300 is a reasonable guess.

I’ve shown it several times. You just run away when I do.

And I’m not the only one to have spotted malware being downloaded from your 
links. In my case, the malware in question was an EXE which was downloading 
on a Mac and so wouldn’t have worked. You later not merely acknowledged the 
malware, but stated that as the URI had been posted to a Mac newsgroup, there 
was no harm intended,

I repeat: you posted a link which had malware. It certainly appears that you 
posted the link in full knowledge that the malware was there, and that you 
thought that it was a big joke.

he just did two things:

1 he made yet another serious error about networking

2 he attempted to threaten you.

as he’s an idiot, he merely provided yet another opportunity for everyone 
else to point and laugh.

I know this will come as a complete shock to a self-centred asshole such 
as yourself, but:

Not caring at all about YOU and what YOU think doesn't mean I don't care 
about people.

I just don't care about assholes, asshole.

False - you have posted no such MID. *YOU* are the liar, Wolffan - and 
everyone can see that *you cannot support your claim*.

Nor have you demonstrated which AV software you were using actually 
CAUGHT this alleged malware!!!

Certainly, in jest, I did just that.

I did, indeed, write to www.supernews.com
As you know, I received an acknowledgement but no follow-up. Maybe I'll 
prod them again, sonny Jim!

I have. Several times. You always run away. Then you wait a few months and do 
the same song and dance again.

Son, think: why do _multiple different people_ all make the _same reports 
about you?_ We’re all out to get you, eh?
