Defense of Nathan

[brian.hammack@rook.wa.com (Brian Hammack)]

Of course, this is not the place for flame wars but some think it is.  I
didn't reply to the previous piece of effluvia but had to when I saw
this.  It's getting out of hand.

    | This take less guts.

Tell us about it.  You're too much of a chickenshit to leave your real
name so the rest of us would know whether Nathan (or anyone) has ever
said anything to or about you.  Who are you, little man?

 NC(|  I am writing a formal abuse complaint about Nathan Mates. He has
    | tormented me over the last month with his comp.sys.apple2
    | postings, and his harshness on irc. He has brought me down

I haven't been on the IRC so this disqualifies me from addressing that
aspect.  But as for posts here:  What the hell are you talking about?

Yesterday I saw a post from someone (who did give a real name) which
quoted Nathan's "anyone who thinks Dr. Tom is a good guy is mistaken"
line from another thread and told Nate essentially to slob on his knob
for putting him (the writer of the reply, not Dr. Tom) down.  I sat for
two minutes wondering how in the world this guy could have interpreted a
slam to another specific user (and named by name, so it's hard to
picture there being any misinterpretation about whom it was about) as
being him personally.  The other day a girl called my answering machine
five times to listen to the message, then asked me why I was mad at her
best friend -- the message which she heard five times said, "Mary can
call me, but Christina [the caller] please lose my number."  So I guess
it is possible that someone can completely miss the point even when they
have all the info right there in plain sight.  Usually from density.

    | His ramblings resemble more of an phylloxera opera then of
    | understandable discourse. He is one giant blob of photoplasm with
    | no human intellect or structure. He is the essence of exnihilo
    | smegma. He is a poltergeist. A child without form occupying a vode
    | in Polonia. He is a pubescent blob with psychosomatic and
    | psychosexual ramblings. He is xenophile, unable to communicate
    | with anyone outside of his Hansa.

Big words don't impress us, and I'm sure you don't know the meaning of
any of them.  AND A XENOPHILE *LOVES* STRANGERS, not hates them (that's
a xenophobe), which proves you're running off at the keyboard without a
clue what you are talking about.  Take it elsewhere.  We have business.

yet another annoying post by brian.hammack@rook.wa.com -- deal with it.
