That was sort of an inside joke directed at Perry. (it's the motd of the Extropian's mail server) However, if it sapped any of LD's bodily fluids, I'm happy. I'd have to be, since I'm an evil, treasonous Benedict Arnold of cypherpunks who should be hung by the neck or deported off the net.
No, in point of fact, you're a poorly adjusted infant who finds it amusing to stand at a safe distance and clog up the net with threats which he surely would never dare to make face-to-face. Ray, before you recommend psychological evaluation for others, it might be worth considering looking into some for yourself. You might also want to give Jacoby and Meyers a call and ask them for a quick rundown on the prevailing assault statutes. Please take your cowardly bravado to private email. You're about as impressive as a third-grader sticking out his tongue at the playground bully from behind the safety of his mother's skirt, a situation with which I can't help but feel you have some personal familiarity. -- Lefty (lefty@apple.com) C:.M:.C:., D:.O:.D:.

Lefty, go stuff yourself. You have all the credibility of Blackwell. The only time you ever post a message is to ad hominem someone else. You've been doing this for 2+ years on the Extropians list -- lurking 99% of the time and only posting when you have a snide comment. (just look at your last message against wondered) If you can't recognize the difference between a silly comment and a real murder threat, it's time for you to have a medical check up. You nicely illustrate my point anyway. I would never make a murder threat face-to-face particulary because I have no intention of physically damaging anyone. It is this fact alone which Detweiler, and you need to realize. Threats made over the net are vapor.

Well, lets see how many Personal Attacks we can find in this post... According to rjc@gnu.ai.mit.edu:

Well, that makes 5 out of 5 so far. Lets see if we can find more! (just look at your last message against wondered) Wow! We are 5 for 6. Not bad..... *NOT*

Well, that's two more!

And of course I won't even touch this one!

And were these even valid comments? You be the judge.

No, I wasn't complaining about his personal attacks per se but his long term behavior on this list and Extropians which is mainly "hit-and-run" attack posts about once a month which usually generate massive flame wars. (the last of which ended up with Tim May leaving the extropians list) Perhaps you don't like me, but I can atleast lay claim to have participated in non-flamefest threads and contributed help and software when I was asked. Many people have simply sent me private e-mail politely requesting that I stop the Detweiler flame. All Lefty's message did was add fuel to the fire and was just as unproductive as my original joke-threat against Lance. I would like to end this thread and get back to rationally discussing pseudonyms, but its not going to happen if I keep getting messages like yours in my mailbox. -- Ray Cromwell | Engineering is the implementation of science; -- -- rjc@gnu.ai.mit.edu | politics is the implementation of faith. --
