Steve Mentos: Pirating scum.

[nathan@visi.com (Nathan Mates)]

Steve Mentos (remember, he tried to pull the stunt claiming his name
was copyrighted just so that all his previous crap online wouldn't
appear) spewed forth some more...

   In case you folks don't remember, Steve Mentzer, almost a year ago,
put up a ftp site with pretty much *all* currently sold GS software on
it. All the Orca products, all the Softdisk products, Hyperstudio,
Pointless, Harmonie, Twilight II, the works. Of course this is
*quickly* shut down, as that is blatantly and totally illegal. Showing
advanced stages of Turkey disease, he claimed that this was just a
stunt to show the whole world how much of a "Nazi" I and others were.
This archive was never destroyed; the scum just took it off public
access and accessability. Steve has also claimed that he's *still* got
everything, and will pirate until a clue-by-four penetrates his
asinine little skull.

   And recently, several programs were uploaded, apparently from
Australia, still being sold, and *also* on Steve's site. Widespread
condemnation follows. Does the little scum call all those who
denounced and canceled the posts Nazis, just like before? Nope. But
it's the exact same deal, only on a smaller scale.

   Now Mr. Mentos is trying to pull the wolf-in-sheeps clothing
routine, saying "I'm a nice guy. I don't support pirating currently
available software. I'll be a developer soon." Don't trust a fucking
word this creep says-- his actions speak FAR louder than any words.

   Steve Mentzer is an unrepentant pirate of old and current software
and should be removed from the presence of fine, law abiding citizens
of this newsgroup who know what's right, and that he's wrong. The
facts are clear; Steve Mentos only can fall back on namecalling to try
and defend his stupidly chosen position. Get him out of here, now.
