"Mac OS X still remains safer than Windows because its relatively

Nowhere in that article (which was from AP's feed) does it say what
brand of computer was found by the authorities.

Try again.

Where in the article you cited was there a mention of what kind of
computer the killer used? I didn't see it, either in the short article
you referenced, or in the longer one that it links to. Show us the
reference to the killer using a Mac, or apologize to the human race
for being a lowlife piece of scum.

Some people make it clear they don't want to fit in. They make it clear they
will be different and punish the world. They are "thinking different". This
anti-social behavior that goes hand-in-hand with the use of a Mac is
dangerous and bears watching. That's all I'm saying.

I bet not. I bet most pyschos are Mac users. They use Macs simply to not fit
in. There is no other reason to use one.

Whatever little entertainment you had as a Wintroll is now over. You
are a sad and pathetic person to take something tragic and make it a
shot at Macintosh users. And as you can see you are alone in your
warped sense of humor. Neither Mac or Windows user find anything funny
about the post. I hope the day never comes that you would have to
experience that kind of sensless tradegy in your life.

I'd say PLONK but Google doesn't have that option. So all I can say is
buzz off, loser!.

Please cut it out. You have to know how stupid this is. All you're
doing is giving non-Maccies a blackeye with this kind of shrill
nonsense.
And if you actually believe this tripe then get some help.

That's been blatantly obvious from the start; this is merely one more
inane troll from Muahman that reenforces the fact that he has *zero*
credibility.

And that doesn't even begin to address how utterly shameful it all
is. If anyone had had any doubts as to just how low "Wintrolls" will
stoop, Muahman has provided a stellar example.

Yeah... it's even worse than linking Maccies to people who issue death
threats. My take: Mass murdering can be linked to people committing mass
murder. Issuing death threats can be linked to people who issue death
threats. A person's choice of computer has nothing to do with the kind
of instability that is required to undertake either activity.

shows that, though we disagree with them about computer choice (and,

Seriously, If someone of Arab descent sits next to me on an airplane you

Why? Because I've seen and heard them do it hundreds of times. When I see a
Mac user in public, I keep my eye on them because they are "thinking
different" and I don't want to be one of their victims. I don't see why this
statement is so out of line. Mac users are by and large anti-social and
that worries me. They are hints as to when someone is going to do
something stupid, dressing all in black, black nail polish, Mac usage, etc.

Go tell your lawyer that in the forum you posted under an alias while
trolling a newsgroup people said things you didn't like. Come back and
talk about that experience. You'll get a really expensive lesson in

You are an offensive, immoral little wanker who deserves the utter

I seem to recall that something similar to this happened during the
Washington, DC sniper shootings, with someone (I forget whom)
suggesting that the shooters were Mac users. It turned out then that
the computer they used was a Sony Viao, IIRC.

I also want to offer my condolences to anyone from Virginia Tech, and
to the families and friends of the victims of this horrendous crime.
Please understand that most of the people who participate in this
group are not like the subhuman trash (that would be you, Muahman and
zara) who are trying to turn this into some sort of Mac vs. PC issue.
It isn't.

So you're saying Mac users are murderers? What the fuck is wrong with
your head? That is so blatantly offensive and despicable you should
retract this whole fucking thread right now and APOLOGIZE to every
single freakin' Mac user you just falsely implied were potential
murderers due to their choice of computer.

True to form most 'news' stories give the number of firearms deaths in
another country but the total murder rate in the US.
Another thing that goes unreported is, that in the US, most murders
are criminals killing other criminals. I have a friend of a friend who
is a retired FBI employee. He once told me that if you stay away from
drugs and people involved in drugs your chances of getting murdered in
the US drop pretty close to zero. Obviously not close enough given the
events in Virginia.
For some reason most people don't really feel the same empathy when
Drug Dealer A kills Drug Dealer B as they do when a madman slaughters
a bunch of innocent kids on the verge of starting their adult lives.
If you have even an iota of humanity rattling around in the black lump
you call a heart you'll be able to figure out why that is.

Look at Steve's comments:

Go tell your lawyer that in the forum you posted under an
alias while trolling a newsgroup people said things you
didn't like. Come back and talk about that experience.
You'll get a really expensive lesson in reality... and I'll
get another laugh at your expense. You can't be this
stupid... you just CAN'T be...

Steve spewed, into a public forum, all sorts of accusations and insults. If
he was honest and honorable he would offer a retraction. Sure, John could
have merely noted that... but look at what good it does to ask Steve to take
responsibility for his actions - he simply does not do so. If that was not
clear before, look at my exchanges with him over the last 24 hours - he
proved it over and over.

Steve does not care how despicable and dishonest his comments are - he
simply will blame others for their content. It is what he calls a "victim
mentality".

That is the type comment I was in reference to when I talked about people
crossing a line:

People in CSMA often have no idea what liability their
online threats and accusations can lead to... dishonest
accusations of rape and inappropriate sexual advances,
claims of illegal drug use, or even of just accusations of
making calls and emails to someone's home based on Usenet
debates have been thrown around in CSMA, for example.

Those who toss around such things in a public forum are
putting themselves in a position to be held legally
liable... something they clearly are too ignorant to
understand.

Do yourself a favor and learn from your mistake. Do not repeat it and,
frankly, you should offer a public statement of retraction and apology.

That's great. That's not the point of my post. Steve righfully
condemned Zara's and MuahMan's posts, while John took the same tactic
by blaming Vista for pepole getting shot. Does that not bother you,
Snit? How much of an insensitive dick does John have to be to think

I support neither... but I think it is worse to point to specific people and
accuse them of rape and the like. To say, for example, that all Windows
users are likely to kill people (clearly not true) is not as bad as me
claiming *you* had killed someone (no reason to think that is true!)

My kids did a performance tonight with their respective school bands and
I just found out that a girl from our neighborhood goes to VT. Luckily
she was not around the shooter at the time. Her parents are absolutely
blown away this happened at their daughter's school. I'm thinking back
to when we had the Columbine shootings... about 3 blocks away from where
I used to attend music rehearsal for a band I was in at the time. The
folks around here are taking this just like back then with the Columbine
shootings. I guess those kind of scars never really heal.

If John did that it was not right. Above, however, it looks like John was
responding to the comments I quoted and merely noted:

FACT: When Steve went away for a week 95% of BS off-topic
trolling went away!

The full post of Steve's that John replied to can be seen here:
<http://groups.google.com/group/comp.sys.mac.advocacy/msg/a18f3409ffa7708e>

Steve was not condemning Zara or Muahman with those comments, he was
responding to my stating that people should be careful of the accusations
they toss around CSMA. I did not even mention Steve though, as any long
time reader of CSMA knows, he is likely the worst example of people who do
such things. Heck, he seems to take pride in his inappropriate actions.

If John did as you said I do not approve... but I responded to John's
comments about Steve's comments because Steve was responding to my
comments... there is nothing wrong with that.

Finally! Steve shows he does feel some guilt over his actions. What other
explanation is there for why you, Steve, would see my comments as any kind
of "threat"? How you react to your feelings on this will say something
about you, Steve. Will you do the honest and honorable thing and apologize
for your actions? I hope so, but I seriously doubt it.

> not in this particular thread.

Are you responding to some other comment of mine from another thread... in
this thread? What? That is odd. What comment by the way? You accuse me
of posting some threat... something I did not do.

Will you do the honest and honorable thing and retract your accusations and
apologize?

What does Vista have to do with your response to my above comments? What do
Zara and Pratt? Are you pulling in yet other threads? You sure are having
a hard time staying focused! Does that have anything to do with your
repeated comments about drugs?

My comments most certainly were in this thread... and they were in response
to someone else talking about an inappropriate accusation or threat... I was
noting that such things are not wise to do in a public forum. And they are
not. Threatening violence against another person, accusing someone of rape,
claiming others use illegal drugs, stating someone has tracked your spouse
down and sent them emails... none of that should be seen in a public forum
and those that do such actions should know that they are opening themselves
up to legal liability.

In that post... the point was that John was once again adding nothing,
except he ALSO blamed Vista for innocent people getting shot in an
earlier post in this same thread.

> Steve was not condemning Zara or Muahman with those comments,

Earlier he did.

"Yeah... it's even worse than linking Maccies to people who issue
death
threats. My take: Mass murdering can be linked to people committing
mass
murder. Issuing death threats can be linked to people who issue death
threats. A person's choice of computer has nothing to do with the kind

I was complaining that you replied to my post slamming John for his
outrageous post by seemingly excusing John and once again complaining
about Steve. You had made not one mention of John's crap, nor had you
addressed the main point of my original post in this series.

Steve: I responded to a specific comment about how someone had made (or
allegedly made) a threat of violence against another - in this public forum.

I agreed that such threats should not be made... nor should other similar
threats. Not only are they in poor taste but they leave the person who made
the threat open for the consequences of legal liability.

There was nothing derogatory about *any* of that... it is a simple fact and
I pointed fingers at nobody. You responded by accusing me of having posted
threats and spewed all sorts of hate filled BS against me. Why? I noted
elsewhere the reason is almost certainly your sense of guilt for your own
actions... and that is something you should think about.

When you make bogus accusations against me, Steve, I do note you have no
proof... and now, based on your recent focus on the importance of
retractions, I ask you to do the honest and honorable thing to retract your
accusations and to apologize for your poor behavior. Please note you are
very, very hesitant to do so. You simply will not act in an honest and
honorable way. As even you noted, I have been pointing that out "all day".

Great. Those threats weren't happening in this thread. That's the
point. Instead of addressing MuahMan's and Zara's offensive comments,
you started talking about something else.

You never actually answered my original question: which bothers you
more, stuff that wasn't happening now about idle threats or MuahMan
and Zara saying you're going to shoot people because you own a Mac?

What? He's saying this thread is an inappropriate place to have
bullshit. Surely you agree, given the severity of the subject
material. Or does a thread about Mac users being unstable enough to
kill on large scales not grave enough in your opinion?

Because you have flatly 'threatened' me (and Elizabot) with this exact

I find that to be in very poor taste and to be completely inappropriate. I
do not find it, however, to be as bad as to directly accuse someone of
something like rape or to threaten someone with violence.

That quote, however, does not even appear in the post of Steve's John was

the full text of the four posts before Steve's!:

----------
Dave Fritzinger:


To be fair, I am very pleased that the majority of the
Windows advocates here have, rightly, slammed Muahman, as he

People in CSMA often have no idea what liability their

who toss around such things in a public forum are putting
themselves in a position to be held legally liable...
something they clearly are too ignorant to understand.

Steve jumped in and made all sorts of accusations against me and spewed his
normal insulting BS into CMSA. He also quoted me out of context and
attributed a quote to me that I did not write. There really is no good
defense for Steve's little fit there.

Perhaps you have become confused as to what part of the sub-thread I was
responding to? Your comments are completely incorrect - and it is not your
norm to lie. Here is the Google page which points to the sub-thread:
<http://groups.google.com/group/comp.sys.mac.advocacy/browse_frm/thread/91a5
3578ce4d80b1/a18f3409ffa7708e>. And here is a screen shot...
<http://tmp.gallopinginsanity.com/thread.gif>

Note that neither you nor John had posted in that sub-thread before Steve
threw his public fit about my comments. His post is #12 in the image.

Shall I be receiving a retraction and an apology from you now? :)

I was responding the post I responded to... not ones five or so "levels"
back in the thread. I had not even read Zara's other posts! Zara talked
about public threats... my comments were appropriate and in response to that
comments.

How do you know the threats were idle? People at Virginia Tech who were in
classes with the murderer noted that he wrote in ways where, in retrospect,
they may have been able to see this coming. Those students believed his
writing was harmless ... even if not something they approved of. They will
be living with the guilt of not having done something before it was too
late. I feel bad for them as well... there are many victims at VT right
now.

> or MuahMan and Zara saying you're going to shoot people because you own a Mac?

From above:


I support neither... but I think it is worse to point to
specific people and accuse them of rape and the like. To
say, for example, that all Windows users are likely to kill
people (clearly not true) is not as bad as me claiming *you*
had killed someone (no reason to think that is true!)

So which bothers me more: statements against Mac users which do not imply a
threat of violence nor point to direct accusations of specific actions
against any one person *or* making direct attacks and specific accusations
against someone... well, for me the answer is easy: the direct accusations
and threats are worse.

Really, though, why would we debate over which is worse? *Both* are
despicable and inappropriate... if you disagree with my assessment and think
the order is reversed I have no problem with that. I do find it sad,
however, if you excuse either.

Give us a break, zara-thing. You accuse everybody of that. Truth is, nobody
gives you enough of a thought to actually have any real animosity toward you.

What does that have to do with anything? I noted that *in general* it is
not wise to spew accusations or threats against others where you cross a
line and open yourself up for potential legal liability. Zara commented on
someone threatening personal harm... I included accusations of rape and the
like. Such things have no place in a public forum. Steve took that
personal and felt it was a threat against him. I stated no threat against
*anyone*.

If what Jesus quoted about you was correct, John, I would agree your
comments were in poor taste and were inappropriate... but they also are
irrelevant to the fact that you pointed out that Steve's little fit was not
appropriate. I am not sure why Jesus is confusing the issues, other than
that he may be getting his sub-threads confused.

Steve: the fact you feel guilty is clear. Why not just act in an honest and
honorable way and offer the retractions and apologies even you clearly know
you should?

There was no threat against you in my comments, nor anything that a
reasonable person would disagree with - threats of violence, accusations of
rape and other sex crimes, and even accusations of taking debates out of
CSMA and bringing them to unwanted emails to loved ones and making unwanted
phone calls - *none* of these things are appropriate. Do you disagree?
Maybe I should use other examples if those offend you... it is also wrong to
suggest or insinuate that you will contact someone's employer and do things
that could effect someone's livelihood... *those* type things are just
wrong... as bad as making grossly tasteless and inappropriate comments about
how all users of any computer system might end up being killers.

There is nothing a reasonable person would be offended by in those comments,
Steve... but your guilty conscience is ripping you apart. Frankly I am
happy to see signs that you actually such a conscience... it is a rare sign
of decency hiding somewhere within you... even if you cannot admit it in a

Look up 'Metaphor" Snit!

"We're all your victims... you rape csma on a regular basis."
"You have raped this NG" -Steve Carroll

Outside of using the term thus you have *not* been accused of being a rapist
or of raping anyone in particular!

And you know that only too well Snit!

http://tinyurl.com/2m8zk6
"In the past, Steve has stated such things as:
    "See, I'm not the guy who keeps continually raping the NG with new
    threads that are nothing but BS, you are.....

.....So not only is Steve lying, but - based on *his* criteria, he is
"raping" the news group (I do not agree with the use of the word rape in
this context, but that is what Steve calls his activity)."-Snit

But the worst of it is how you *chose* to interpret comments made by
Elizabot...

http://tinyurl.com/2snxj4
"She will continue to share her fantasizes about me, like when she
insinuated I was calling her and outright blamed me for raping her (and
others)."-Snit

"... raping her (and others)." good grief what could she have said?

Yup!...."Therefore, Snit is "raping" the newsgroup."-Elizabot

Elizabot even explained that it was a metaphor...

http://tinyurl.com/yqcv33
"Notice the quotation marks? It was a metaphor."-Elizabot

Your victim mentality is fooling nobody Snit! (I hope!)

A threat of violence made in a public forum is simply not appropriate.

I asked you a question, Steve, and you ran. Will you answer it now:

threats of violence, accusations of rape and other sex
crimes, and even accusations of taking debates out of CSMA
and bringing them to unwanted emails to loved ones and
making unwanted phone calls - *none* of these things are
appropriate. Do you disagree?

Since those examples bothered you I offered others:

Maybe I should use other examples if those offend you... it
is also wrong to suggest or insinuate that you will contact
someone's employer and do things that could effect someone's
livelihood... *those* type things are just wrong... as bad
as making grossly tasteless and inappropriate comments about
how all users of any computer system might end up being
killers.

If you do not like that example of bad behavior we can look at others: how
about tracking someone down to their home address and posting the names of
their neighbors... would you say that was inappropriate? As bad as the
grotesque comments about all users of a computer system?

In the end, of course, it does not matter how you rank each of those things
exactly... a reasoned person could disagree on how bad each is, but only a
person of no morals would excuse any of those actions.

Again, there is no threat - no accusation against anyone - I am just noting
how there are things that do not belong in a public forum and that people
who do many of those things are all opening themselves up to the risk of
being held accountable by the law. There are lines that should not be
crossed in a pubic forum.

Do you disagree? Do you think any of those listed things are acceptable?
Excusable? If so, Steve, that says a lot about your sense of morality... or
lack thereof. No reasonable person would say any of the actions I listed
are reasonable.

zero, in case you haven't realized, this is not a subject that is
appropriate for Mac vs. PC advocacy. I realize that you are
exceedingly stupid, and have the maturity of a 2 year old, but one
would think that by this time, even someone with the sensitivity of a
rock (that would be you) would understand this. Now, why don't you
just shut up. Perhaps if you contemplate what a low-life piece of
trash you are, you can turn this into a learning experience. However,
I'm not holding my breath.

I agree. Unfortunately, you're assumption that it applies here is
false.

Bye-bye Snit.
