- Yeah, I see. I didn't doubt it. I guess there is NOT going to be ANY
- sensible REFUTATION of his <opps, I feel an attack of Tourette syndrome
- coming on...> COMPLETE and UTTER BULLSHIT. According to the apologea
- posted by someone from U of Wis - Mr. (and I use the word loosly) McE
- is simply exercising his constitutional rights to free speech. But
- there is the "thin end of the wedge" aspect to all this. For example,
- while browsing talk.politics.drugs this morning, there was a post from
- said asshole, which if it did not come right out and say it, bordered
- on anti-semitic holocaust revisionism, or at least seemed to lean that
- way. Perhaps it was only Jewish Conspiracy Theory, but anyway...
-
- So while at first, Bobby McE is toying with the seemingly harmless
- ideas that he has posted all around the net, he will eventually end up
- as the hapless victim of some cult leader like Jimmy Jones and perhaps
- cause more harm than we might have thought possible through the simple
- exercise of his constitutional rights.
-
- I don't know if it is possible for him to keep up with all the news items
- posted in all the groups to which he posts. It seems unlikely. However, he
- never responds to anything, so it is as if he never reads anything here.
- It is only the pseudo crap that he reads and posts about. Perhaps this
- is why we don't bother to flame his articles any more? Or maybe it is that
- he gets so much private hate mail that he has to spend the entire day
- cleaning out his mail file?
-
- Just as a matter of interest, how many people have Bobby McE in their
- kill files?
