Terry's sin was being a sick mother fucker. <- I only add that to attract
our moderator. I think he just looks at messages with certain keywords, like
fuck, religion, hell, subaru, etc.
If you need a reminder of what he did was over and aver again to use
racial/ethnic hatred words that got people upset. the list manager asked him
to stop again and again and he didn't so he received temporary moderation
for a while then he continued again and was banned permanently. If you want
I can repost his messages and the response from back then or you can search
the archives?
Some people say they have met him and he is a nice guy but most people on
the list have not and only know him from his postings. I don't know how
anyone could think a person who uses the holocost to tease a Jewish person
is an OK person? <or a person he thinks is jewish>
The whole point is mute now, since Terry is with us under his fake name
Robert Cardo. He still pops up from time to time with good and bad technical
info and gets the list riled up by insulting people but then he pulls back
from going to his old personal attacks. Mom says he is a "troll" which I
found is to say that he likes to get a rise out of people on the web. Mom is
jungian psychiatrist and web consultant.
In my opinion the BullShit was letting him to come back to the list under a
fake name after justly being permanently banned once before.
