Best to put this Usenet terrrorist in your bozo bin.
He has been terrorizing this group for many years and will stalk you for
years online if he feels threatened by you. Always a mouthful of golden
garbage from his wheelchair, he loves to play the Internet guru and cries
like a baby when exposed...over and over it has happened, so many time here.
He really wants to call himself "Herb" but can't get the respect he needs so
badly from the crowd he constantly abuses and terrorizes. Notice how nobody
ever responds to his posts unless they are typically a sock puppet name he
uses at the time to look well liked and admired by the crowd. He spends
almost 100% of his life time scamming the group using various computers and
fudging the .ini files from his various Usenet browsers to look like
somebody he isn't and not be discovered. This especially true after being
exposed for being involved with kiddie porn, some time back.
Mental illness will soon become quite apparent as so many others have
discovered. He really knows very little about the Internet but fakes helping
in order to resolve his insecuity from the accident.
Now watch as he tries to skirt the issue by attacking my posting style or
spelling, just before clicking the ignore poster option.
