In a previous post, I likened usenet to an RPG like Leisure Suit Larry.
RAiD was an online persona, I can't think of any reason to accept those
as "real" even though they are "genuine" posts. The internet was not
"real" for many people - it was a place to live out a fantasy,
especially when there was a feeling that anonymity was possible *and*
everlasting. Of course now, the internet is more *real* for people than
actual reality is - consider the rise in cyber-bullying and the young
people commiting suicide over writing on their "wall".

I feel even the genuine posts are being used by the spammer to mislead
the public IOW they are "lies" in that they are being portrayed as
*real*. It is obvious to most of us that Dustin had 'turned over a new
leaf' so to speak (ten years ago) and bringing up those posts (with
accompanying 'color commentary') is just as disengenuous as repeatedly
bringing up the missattributed post by Rebecca.

Judging by current behavior, Dustin seems much more trustworthy than
PCButts does. For all I know, PCButts may have been a trustworthy person
ten years ago - it is their behavior *now* that counts.
