Everyone is entitled to privacy, even anonymity, even if tends to cause some
people to let their most vicious and stupid natures out. But when it comes
to identity theft and/or manipulation via posting with multiple ID's in the
same thread I will occasionally out them. Such behavior violates basic terms
of service for a community site by posting under multiple ID's. One of the
reasons the Usenet / Google Groups became such a cesspool was the lack of
moderation was eventually overwhelmed the common sense minority that was
there to actually talk about chess. Sloan, the real one, was a huge part of
that downfall.

The person posting here as "Memory" also posted in this same thread as
"Voice of Reason", "Kramnik", "sh", "Crash", "Chronic Pain", "Doody",
"kitty", "Grange" and many others. So, the usual process of filing an abuse
report with his ISP has begun. Unsurprisingly, all these posts are of a
theme, one I'm sure you can guess. Hmm, where in the past have we seen one
person posting under dozens of names to attack people in something related
to Susan Polgar?

Crawl back to the Usenet or we will see what your Suddenlink provider in
Texas has to say about identity theft and providing server logs, which can
trivially reconstruct your connection times, dns connection records, and
packet transmission down to the millisecond, making IP superfluous. Unless
you are ready to claim that your computer was taken over by a hacker posting
*from your machine*, of course at the same time you were on it doing other
(traceable) things like looking at documents and sending email, you'd just
be digging yourself a deeper, more embarrassing hole.

...

Stop blaming the world for your own immature actions and grow up. Be man, if
not a mensch. Move on, do your job. Or get one. And if it's too late and you
have to live with the consequences of your actions, let's hope you'll accept
responsibility, at least to yourself if not in public. Lastly, are you
serious?! Look at yourself! Posting 40 times, mostly in conversation with
yourself, about something this incredibly stupid?! To wage a war defending
against similar accusations elsewhere?! If there isn't a 12-step program for
internet rage and anonymous posting there's needs to be one. Yikes.

I see Gregory Alexander is busy running damage control on Mig's blog.
