Pointing out that Hicks is a coward hardly makes one a "Troll."
Hicks would never treat anybody in person the way he treats them
here. Those of you who find Hicks' cowardice amusing are little
more than cowards yourselves. Those who call people "trolls" for
pointing out Hicks' cowardice are little more than trolls
yourselves.

cordially, as always,

That's a relief! :^) Sorry if it seemed like I was coming down real
hard on ya. Rumors like "Alan is RM" spread quick and I felt it
necessary to nip it in the bud.

I have actually seen this occur in some other newsgroups. Sometimes
it's quite easy to tell from headers, but other times the troll gets
smart and sets up accounts on various news servers to make it appear
like the two people are different.

Indeed, Alan Connor is famous for this. IMHO, our own rm can't hold the
candle to Alan Connor. For the complete skinny on him, you can check
out the FAQ listed here:

Yea, but I really believe Mr. Tin Foil Hat is truly crazy, and rm
is just some pathetic loser with nothing better to do.

I agree that Alan Connor is certainly insane. His posts are just
waaaay out there (like how he knows not one, but a whole lot of
Bigfoots and posts to usenet without using any electricity). rm however
is an entirely different kind of crazy; a Tourettes Syndrome kinda
crazy.

I can just see rm walking down the rubber-walled hallways of his
hospital shouting "fuck, shit, bitch, pgp trash troll delete!" at
random.
