Reporting scumbags or as you call it "vigilante reporting" is a free speech
thing too. Now if Bill actually got someone's account cancelled then there
must have been evidence convincing enough for the ISP or news server to do
something. This "Billy attempted to netKKKop me" is just whining. You
can't even keep track of who did what or to whom here, but deluging the
newsgroups with messages about it is just pitiful. Calling Bill a "stool
pigeon" is just the same thing that you are accusing him of doing. And the
idea that being a stool pigeon is worse than the original offense is just
criminal mentality. If they opened a crack house on your block would you
"take care of it yourself like a real man" or report it to the proper
authorities? Or would you just grin and bear it because you didn't want
anyone to think you were a stool pigeon? Which is the bigger coward?

I wish Bill would stop posting in ABPA though. There are hundreds of
messages from him there, all posted from the future, proving that he's just
a little bit unhinged about the whole thing. But really, if he actually did
get one of these freaks' posting privileges cancelled, that's a hoot.

Perrea, perrea,
