Pcbutts appears to be an associate of one known as Leythos or Lethyos.
Seems to me, besides alledgedly frequently bedding each other they have
cobbled up some sort of corporate deal to spam out to Newsgroups, porno
links and a mysterious spyware app. They both strike me as unemployed
caravan dwellers, (trailer tramps in Merkin speak), with far too much time
on their hands. They ought be forced to usefully contribute to society
employed as street sweepers or lavatory cleaners (bathroom technicians in
Merkin speak). Boring pharts the pair of them and their daily cliff
hangerless soap opera is well passed it's sell by date.

Some are tempted to think of life in cyberspace as insignificant,
as escape or meaningless diversion. It is not. Our experiences there
are serious play. We belittle them at our risk. Sherry Turkle
His name is Christopher Butts and he's a sub-contractor for NASA. He runs a
small web business out of a mail drop in California. He's been known to
plagiarize code and host porn on his website.
He claims to want to help people with computer problems but instead he gives
bad advice. An example of bad advice would be to tell people to download an
unknown executable file from a website that hosts porn and then ask the site
for a password to run the file.
He has claimed to be many things in the past including a lawyer, an MVP, and
the owner of nasa.gov.
In your first link, you claim to be a Microsoft MVP, yet I cannot find you
(by any of the pseudonyms attributed to you) in the MVP profiles. Why is
that?

And yet all of your posts as PCBUTTS1 were banned because of your
unethical actions.
If you post every day as PCBUTTS1 then you would not have any problems,
now if you mean you post as another nym (that would make at least 20
that you've used) then yes, they are not blocking a new nym from you.
There are two people that post as Sharon Franks - you can tell from the
headers and style that they are not the same person. One is you
impersonating someone you are not in order to keep from being noticed as
easily and to avoid the MS Server filters.
Quoted from a MVP on the Actual MS Usenet Servers:
Also please know, xxxx, that the poster in this thread using the alias

Yeah. You're an MVP. And I never wear a kilt.
Pull the other one, it's got bells on.
IIRC, he was banned because he refused to comply with the Microsoft TOS,
not because of "unethical actions." The only server from which his posts
are filtered are the Microsoft server. If he posts using a different
NNTP provider (as I do), those posts will be available on all usenet
servers but the Microsoft server.
Microsoft has a dubious history when it comes to banning and censorship,
so if I were you, I would not use butts' banning from its server as a
data point in support of the case against him.
I reported the Sharon Franks ID the first time I saw it (June 2006, when
he posted one of his infamous links), but nothing was done then and
nothing has been done since.

You are correct. I never cared about his ethics. I had complaints
about the content of his posts, I investigated the situation, I
explained them to him, he refused to follow the rules, and I blocked
him *solely* from Microsoft's servers. I wanted to make sure that
when we canceled a message, we did not ship that cancel message off to
USENET as a whole. We (well, Microsoft.. I'm putting my MS hat back
on) don't own USENET. We own our servers, and we had full right to
remove what we wanted from our own servers. I'm not doing it anymore,
my Newsgroup Admin role ended back in 2005 and I am not currently
employed by Microsoft.

You are more than welcome to question me with regards to anything
regarding the newsgroup servers between, roughly, 2003 and 2005. That
was my job and I took pride in ensuring that *only* ToS violators and
true USENET spammers were banned.

That was after my time, so I can't speak about that.
You can feel free to believe I'm not really the John Eddy who was in
charge of the servers.
You can feel free to believe what PCButts1 has said about his

To the best of my knowledge, there is no evidence to the contrary.
Moreover, it was not my intention to take a swipe at you. In addition to
the memory detailed above, I have another recollection that you were a
hands-on and responsive administrator in maintaining the Microsoft
groups.
I do, however, stand by the assertion that being banned by a newsgroup
administrator is not sufficient evidence to establish the state of one's
ethical compass. (Not that I think Butts' has an ethical compass--given
some of his antics, it's a pretty obvious he does not.)

"After your time" was the "dubious history" to which I was specifically

Hmmmm. To establish? No. To provide a bit of evidence, yes.
It's like picking an MVP. A large number of posts is not sufficient
evidence to establish that someone should be an MVP. But it's a
clue. It should be enough to make someone think 'Why is this? Why
should that have happened? Perhaps I should investigate this more...'

Unfortunately, he's managed to besmirch my name by implying that he
got me fired. And since I don't avoid having my name out there (if I

I am John Eddy. You didn't cost me my job. Removing your posts
didn't cost me my job. You had nothing to do with why I am not the
Newsgroups Admin anymore. If you want to believe you were, feel free,
but, frankly, you had nothing to do with it. My team was outsourced.

Blame someone for what? And considering you're taking credit for

If there had been any doubt in my mind that you're John Eddy, there
would be none now.
As for taking a swipe at a company without a face, I guess that's the
same as saying I took a swipe at corporate policy. I'd like to add,
however, that I do think it is sometimes the case that individuals go
above and beyond (in a bad way), and I'm also taking a swipe at them,
whoever they might be. It just so happens that they're not you (as
evidenced by the timeline).

Below is a link that is NSFW (or anywhere else, for that matter). I post
it so you will have no doubt that I, personally, have all the evidence
about Butts' character that I will ever need. :)
http://www.pcbutts1.com/rlk/rlk.htm
My point, however, is that people get banned for a lot of different
reasons, and while it may be a data point, it's not a conclusion. For
example, I was briefly banned from the MS server over the WGA debacle
(along with several others), until someone realized that disagreement
with policy is not TOS abuse (by the terms of the TOS). I have also been
banned in other places for similar reasons. In addition, I've had
several posts to the MS server selectively censored because of naughty
word use or because I quoted a post (from a non-MS server) that
contained a naughty word.

I agree with the point you're trying to make, but I have a not-topical
issue with the example you've used to make it, so I'm not going to
address it further. (I will say that if all MVPs were Malke, it would be

No one who is not a rank newbie believes anything that Butts says.
(That's one of the reasons I wish Leythos would stop replying to him,
because it gives him unwarranted attention. The sig is a perfectly
adequate way to get the message across without addressing Butts
directly.)

They must find it difficult...
Those who have taken authority as the truth,
rather than truth as the authority. Gerald Massey
I do not want what I am about to write to be misconstrued, so I am going
to separate out the three issues as carefully as I can.
The first issue is that I firmly believe anyone has the *right* to say
any goddammed annoying, obnoxious, offensive thing that person feels
like saying, regardless of how goddammed annoying, obnoxious and
offensive that person and his words might happen to be. Even a
sociopath--that means you, Chris--is entitled to a voice.
If you take away the right of anyone to speak, you have endangered the
right of everyone to speak. It's that simple.
For most of my adult life, David Goldberger has been my hero, because he
understood and honored this concept even when it was personally
abhorrent to him. To me, the owner of DataBasix is the David Goldberger
of usenet, because he too understands and honors the same ideal,
regardless of his personal feelings. I subscribe to DataBasix, and so
long as it is in business, I will continue to do so, for that reason
alone.
The second issue is that just because I believe with my whole heart what
I wrote above, I also believe that there are words that should not be
spoken and that individuals have the obligation to police themselves in
this regard (as opposed to policing each other). You have a corner on
the market of such words, Chris, and I find you reprehensible.
With that said, the third and final issue, which is also the point, is
this: it's not for nothin' that you subscribe to DataBasix, Chris. As
long as you do not violate the DataBasix AUP, you know you can do
whatever the fuck you feel like, and you are teflon, because Gary's
commitment to freedom of speech on usenet is unequivocal. The only
reason you're able to get away with the shit you spew is that your
provider remains true to an ideal that other providers have allowed to
erode in the name of convenience.
In other words, you can only talk your bullshit because you're protected
from the consequences (up to the point you violate the AUP, and then
you're protected from nothing), but that protection is not an
endorsement of you or your words, it's just the same generic protection
that anyone with a DataBasix account would receive. Your claims of dire
consequences to those who mess with you is nothing but lame bullshit,
except to the extent that anyone who messes with you in a way that
constitutes abuse of the net will pay the price for it, because Gary
doesn't tolerate that any more than he tolerates a violation of his AUP.

People hated that word filter. I was happy for its existence. I made
a very firm point not to remove articles solely because they were
negative against Microsoft. In fact, the OS newsgroups were pretty
rife with Linux fans. But, at least one person said I was removing
their posts because they were anti-MS.
But, again, not everyone is me.

Well, true. But I'm more thinking of the names of the groups. Things

Yes, but they filtered on two key words, so, he could change his reply

In a "Public" service, where it's not privately funded, I would agree
with you - but our country has laws that limit speech.
Fact is that a company does not have to permit "free speech" on it's
property or services and may remove any content for any reason it wants,
unless that area/service is funded by public money - if it is publically
funded then it has to exercise some defined measure to stop/remove
speech.
In the case of MS's own Usenet servers, as they are a private group,
they are not obliged to carry any posts of any type, legally or other,
and they may manage their servers as they see fit at any time.
To deny a private company the right to manage their own resources is the
same as denying the public the right to speak on public property.

You truly are one clueless rube yourself. Should I spank you now with

if that were true you wouldn't be posting under a pseudonym....

Thomas Jefferson and Ben Franklin while they bleed to death at your

Seriously, did you think about that unequivocal statement at all before

have been in the world that would still be in place were it not for
those who stand against them?
More to the point, it is especially ridiculous in light of the fact that
it is the respective Terms of Service agreements of Butts' providers
that insulates him each time you try to take him down. Given that, do
you really want to put forth (by implication) the premise that a TOS
agreement should be inviolable?
Butts is an indefensible, bottom-feeding, scumsucker, but that doesn't
make your argument any less absurd.

So what?
So was I (along with others)--for protesting a WGA that phoned home.
He wasn't banned for his ethics or lack thereof, Leythos. Why don't you
let John carry this part of the argument? He's got firsthand knowledge
and his position, unlike yours, is sound.

People recognize hyperbole for what it is, Leythos. When you try to make
a mountain out of a molehill, there are those who will wonder how many
more mountains have been so constructed.
I know what Butts is. There's no doubt in my mind that the blow to the
head he took in the accident knocked something akilter, and the boy
ain't right (to the point of being dangerous, I would hazard to say),
but if you're going to argue against him to the public at large, you
need to muster a worthy argument, and it ain't "he's unethical because
he violated Microsoft's TOS" or "PORN, PORN, PORN."

If you want to make a statement, it's fine. Hijacking what I wrote and
changing the meaning of it entirely (by snippage and implication) is not
fine.
Moreover, you jumped from "our country has laws..." to "a company does
not have to permit..." Your logical progression is flawed, and, in fact,
your argument missed my point entirely.
Nonetheless, I will address one thing you wrote, just because it amuses
me.
When Microsoft opened its server to usenet but insisted on maintaining
its own TOS, it effectively violated the RFCs.
Try to reconcile that with the position you took in your other post. :)
Or better yet, let it go and get back to the true issue, which is the
reprehensible, indefensible behavior of pcbutts.
First, John had not entered until well past when this started, and it's
great that he did.
I know what was communicated and what was happening at the time, when
butts was banned, and TOS violation is a very broad term for what he
did.
So, like it or not, violating a TOS is unethical and it fits.
And management of Usenet services at the server owners locations has
always been permitted by each Usenet server owner and never been an
issue except to people that believe that one person's property should be
ruled by the masses instead of the owner of that property.
MS can do anything they want with their server and there is nothing that
anyone can do about it - the can censor/clean/remove/etc.... and it's
all fine, they own it on their side.
Leythos, that's the issue that ethics addresses. It's the difference
between what one can do and what one should do. Just because one has a
legal right doesn't mean one has a moral or ethical right.
The argument you're now making has extremely dire consequences, and it's
also contradictory to the some of the arguments you'd like to make
against Butts.
Are you one of those situational ethics kind of people?
John is logical. That gets big points from me.
He's also evenhanded, and he's willing to examine a different point of
view and he doesn't evade direct response to a statement or question.
I enjoy John. I'm not enjoying this.

We disagree that violating a TOS is unethical, but I've said that
already and I said why.
Unfortunately, you snipped my reason, and I'm not going to write it
again.

Nope, not at all - Butts's pages are hosted on a site he doesn't own,
it's a business that owns the servers and connection - he leases space
from them and has to abide by their rules. He also has to abide by the
law.
There is no LAW governing what MS can do on their Usenet servers.

The same laws that apply to the business hosting butts' pages apply to
Microsoft, Leythos. That doesn't have anything to do with the argument,
though. I wasn't arguing about Microsoft's legal rights.
Legal and ethical do not equate. Sometimes they coincide, but they are
not cognates. There's plenty that's legal that probably isn't ethical;
moreover, there's no shortage of that which is ethical that is either
contrary to or not addressed at all by the law.

I'm not playing games at all. I'm arguing--lazily--against the use of
specious logic and the lapse into fallacy. Your logic is flawed and
filled with fallacies, and you're attempting to make a special case
against butts that you probably wouldn't want made against everyone else
if you were to think it through.
There's no question that butts is a force for something akin to evil,
but when you paint with such a broad brush, you go too far.
BTW, here's the latest on porn. I found it in my mail this morning:

Violating a TOS agreement is not necessarily an ethical violation.
If you equate a TOS agreement with law, then you will have to
acknowledge that just as there are immoral laws, there can been immoral
TOS agreements or TOS agreements with immoral (unethical) provisions.
If you persist in blindly defending this, both Jefferson and Franklin
are going to bleed out at your feet, Leythos, along with every other
human being who has ever protested lawful but unethical rules.

How strange. The individual I spoke with took full credit for the hosting
of your site known as pcbutts1.com; and informed me that I was calling into
a so called private number. Interestingly enough, several years? ago,
pcbutts1.com was registered under the name Christopher Butts with his/yours
work address. The most interesting thing I seem to remember however was
your tone of voice on the phone, it was a dead giveaway that I finally was
speaking to the 'man' himself, mr pcbutts. Now, you can try and deny it as
you do everything else, but, I know I talked to you. :)
Come to think of it, when I called your home number, the person at the
other end said you weren't home at the time, but my concerns regarding that
site would be brought to your attention. That individual too confirmed you
were the sites owner.

Your lack of network knowledge and DDoSing noted, the point really isn't

Well, to be honest.. From what I've read of the conversation, The focus
seems to be on you trying to get leythos from posting the same old canned
responses everytime pcbutts hits post. *grin*
Oh he mentioned that in court, that he was getting calls. he tried to
blame me
I know what you mean Pcbutts1. I'm actually Bill Gates but nobody believes
me either.
cmsix
I don't post from DataBasix at the moment. I use it as a feed for
Hamster. Individual.net is my posting server.
Apparently butts had a look at my headers and made an unwarranted
assumption. Nothing new there.
I mentioned David Goldberger. He was an ACLU lawyer who defended the
right of the Nazis to march through Skokie. He is on record as not
thinking well of his client (to put it mildly), but he held to the
belief that if one fails to honor the rights of one person (or group),
one does irreparable damage to the rights of all persons (or groups).
Goldberger is Jewish, and he took a real beating in certain quarters,
because he was viewed as a traitor. The ACLU lost funding (contributions
and memberships) because defending Nazis was not a popular cause, but
under the theory that if one applies a principle to one group, one must
apply it to all the rest, it was a very important case.
http://www.digitalpast.org/cdm4/item_viewer.php?CISOROOT=/skokiepo001&CISOPTR=208&REC=5
http://www.digitalpast.org/cgi-bin/showfile.exe?CISOROOT=/skokiepo001&CISOPTR=208
The above is one of the tests of an ethical principal, btw--whether the
rule you wish to apply in one case is applicable to all similar cases.
This is why I continue to caution Leythos about painting with such a
broad brush.
For example, Vanguard is over in 24hs.hd calling me a spammer and egoist
(by implication) because my sig doesn't comply with RFC 1855 (which
itself states that it "does not specify an Internet standard of any
kind"). His general principle about sigs makes Leythos a spammer and
egoist too, but I rather doubt that's what Vanguard intended.
See the problem? It's easy enough to nail butts on the wrong things he
actually does without attributing wrongness to everything he does that
ethical others also do.

Well, I don't think he's doing himself any service when he screams about
porn. Face it, most people don't have such a big problem with porn per
se, but just specific types of porn. (See the article from Slate I
posted elsewhere.) The fact that butts' pages are childish is another
matter, but in essence, even though he uses pornographic images, the
intent is not to disseminate pornography. The images are merely
representative of his very immature response to opposition.
But Leythos has other problems--he *does* stalk butts, and that's not
ethical. I understand why he does it, but I wouldn't condone it in
someone else so why should I condone it in him, even if I happen to be
in agreement with him about the subject of his stalking? (See? There's
another example of what I was talking about above.)
He's an intelligent enough man that he should see this, but somehow,
he's so stuck on butts, he can't quite get to the logic of it.
But the point of that particular post was something else, and as I said,
you almost had it until you veered.
No, if you check, I don't always reply to his posts that contain my
name, as I don't look for them, in fact I don't even look at who posts
what (I don't have FROM enabled on my Usenet client). What I do is post
a reply when I read a thread where he's posted something about me - sig
or other, when I see it.
I had never been to this group until I was told that he was posting crap
about me here - he invited me to this group by posting about me here.
As soon as he drops my name from his posts you may never see another
reply about it, the ball is in his court.

You've just used the same type of justification all stalkers use to
rationalize their behavior.
You're not the only person whose name is in his sig, nor are you the
only person for whom he has constructed a "fansite," but I don't see
anyone but you going at it with him every single day.
> As soon as he drops my name from his posts you may never see another

So he controls what you choose to do?
Saying that you won't stop until he stops is another way of saying he
holds the switch that turns you on and off.
No, I've justified my reply to HIS Actions. Nice try to spin it, but
it's up to him when it stops.

So what? Does that make you a good person or anything else - no.

No, it means that you can stop bitching to be about my reply to his
unethical behavior of abusing my name.

Or it could be that I will reply, when I see fit, to point out that he's
an unethical person, as long as he keeps posting my name, as long as I
see fit. If he doesn't like being exposed for being unethical then he
can stop bringing me into it - it's that simple.
Nope, was me who called him. My cell phone records prove it. LoL.

I am somewhat familiar with that case. He took a severe beating for that

Very true.

I don't judge Leythos as I am a neutral party. He has never done anything
untowards myself or anyone I know. While I may not agree with everything
he does, I'm certainly not going to reprimand him for it.
I understand your point of view and I understand his point of view from
having to deal with pcbutss previously myself.
I do think tho, that the word stalking is overused in this case.
> But the point of that particular post was something else, and as I

You could save time and posting by just saying what you intended in the
first place. :)
You can't justify fighting unethical behavior using unethical tactics.

Did I make the claim that it does? I don't see that claim anywhere in
this post or any other post I've made on the topic.

So, you can post whatever you like, whenever you like, but I can't? I
see.

"We have met the enemy and they are us."
Fighting unethical behavior with unethical tactics is unethical, and it
diminishes you.
I agree with you about Butts, generally, even if I think some of your
specific examples are not indicative of unethical behavior. But the
bottom line is that I think your behavior makes you look bad.
That's all I have to say to you about it.
I was on my soapbox. It's an issue that's very important to me--one
about which I have to remind myself repeatedly when people write things
of which I do not approve.

It doesn't matter what word one uses, but it's the same kind of tactic
that is used in auk to hound "kooks."
It doesn't matter to me who's doing it--the good guys or the bad
guys--it's still not a good thing to do.
> I understand your point of view and I understand his point of view
> from having to deal with pcbutss previously myself.
I've had to deal with butts too, as evidenced by my "vanity page" and
the repeated appearance of my name in his sig, right along with Leythos'
name (and others who have opposed Butts). I went more than a few rounds
with him awhile back. :)
I don't agree with anything that Butts does--I think he is a lowlife. I
also think, however, that he has no control over his behavior as a
result of the head injury he sustained in the accident. My guess is that
he has brain damage, and to him, everything he does seems reasonable and
right. His behavior is clearly sociopathic, but I don't think he's
capable of seeing it, so berating him repeatedly is pointless and
ultimately, useless. Better to put one's energy into constructive
(albeit, possibly expensive) action to shut him down.
But following him around and replying to his posts just feeds him. It
also confers upon him more importance than he warrants.

Well, no, I couldn't, actually, because it was bound to be misunderstood
and misconstrued. I'm sure if anyone gave it some thought, though, s/he
would realize that butts' choices are indicative of the fact that he is
running out of places to hide.
And the fact that he has the *need* to hide is indicative of his general
character.

See a doctor. You need help.
No matter what Leythos does, it doesn't make you look any better. It's
hard for me to believe you can make yourself look worse, but then that's
exactly what you do.
You're a blight. A liar. A thief. One hopes it doesn't extend into your
real life, but I'm guessing there's no demarcation at all.
You have my pity, because you are pitiful.
I'm willing to take the heat for it - thanks.
