He accused the two of us of going against terms of service. With no evidence.

I've read the posts between you and Snit, David. I won't even bother 
responding to any of your bullshit or his. If you doubt what I wrote I did, 
that's perfectly fine with me.

The point remains, You have next to nobody with actual tech skills now willing 
to help you. :) 

And you have to thank your repeated dishonesty, trolling, and stalking habits 
for that. You and dumbass snit can continue talking shit about me if that's 
what pleases you. I will sit back and laugh as my well known and established 
track record speaks for itself. And no amount of quoting me out of context and 
pretending to be unable to understand what you read like snit is going to 
change that.

In the end, you can go fuck yourself. And I'm still going to skull fuck snit 
in both eyes. And as with Jenn, I'll mock you both as I give you a play by 
play of how he becomes my 3rd bitch. Just like Jenn and Eagle. As with them, 
you will do absolutely fucking nothing but watch. :-)

And you will do fuckall about it; except to watch as you're powerless to stop 
me.

Have a nice day, fucktard.

You are the one "talking shit" right now. I quote you... and you hate it. You

You brag about harming people. This speaks VERY poorly of you.

Meanwhile, with all your lies and attacks and other BS, I have never lifted a
finger to harm you.

More of your threats. More of your insecurities.

I do like how once I started calling you out you tucked tail and ran away...
at least to the point of not even trying to counter what I say and pretending
to not respond to my comments.

You are a coward.

I've helped his tech fucktard level ass out several times. No more. He can 
fucking learn to swim or drown at this point. Few people posting here have 
the tech chops that I do, and of those, I don't see anyone wanting to waste 
their time to help him out.

You have helped and been helped. Likely been helped more than you have helped.

But you also attack and lie and cry.

Your tech incompetence was called out and now you run. Just as a reminder to
you:

* Gremlin was ignorant about how his phone number could show
  on my provider's logs.

* Gremlin incorrectly denied his number was in public databases
  and could not understand that not all databases are the same.

* Gremlin thought Unicode letter-like symbols were a different font.

* Gremlin got confused over what degrees he says he has and what
  they mean.

* Gremlin got confused over Preference files and profiles on macOS.

* Gremlin got all excited he used a mouse-less computer as if that
  was impressive.

* Gremlin could not believe FirstClass could handle so many
  simultaneous connections.

* Gremlin did not realize the risks of writing to APFS on Linux.

* Gremlin did not understand ASCII is a standard where "A" is
  always 65.

* Gremlin was so ignorant of Linux he thought I was saying a DE
  and distro are the same.

* Gremlin did not know that a floppy disk in a drive could stop a
  machine from booting.

* Gremlin thought forwarding a Google Groups post gave headers it
  did not.

* Gremlin thought he could best my chat bot but failed.

* Gremlin confused drag-and-drop with copy-and-paste.

* Gremlin thought an ugly superglue and baking powder hack for a
  hinge was indicative of the work a "hardware repair shop" would do.

How does one with such amazing "tech chops" make the errors you do?

You have some skills. David has some. I have some. Carroll has some.

Why not celebrate our different areas and not compete? Why not help each
other? Why not be kind and thoughtful, and not insecure and hate filled as you
are?

Can you try to do better?

Because he is ignorant of computers (admitted he's on a basic user), 
thinks he has stumbled on something new / different / suppocious and 
because of his general ignorance on the subject, is now on a crusade set 
by his imaginary controller to 'do something about the bad man', not 
realising this scenario is very similar to the vast majority of software 
out there he uses every day (well, in his case, only of a's a very 
simple WP and eSudoku ).

Nothing at all.

I'm sure that's part but he doesn't really know himself, in the same way 
he doesn't know the Police keep taking him home when he's find in the 
local town with no trousers and shouting at pigeons.

Cheers, T i m
