Subject: A Confession from Tim Skirvin....

Clearing out old files....

For those of you who believe that Tim never lies about the people he urges
others to killfile, that his motives can be counted on to be honest, here
is testimony to the contrary, from his own webpage.
(http://www.killfile.org)

It is a pleasant surprise, that the man is capable of remorse. It is a
sign, perhaps, of a growing conscience. But one must face the reality,
that Tim here admits to having tried to isolate this women online, as an
expression of personal spite, simply because she rejected him. Given this,
how much faith can one really put in his other pronouncements ? How many
other people has he mislabled, out of revenge, in order to resolve
personal disputes to his own satisfaction ?

(The underlining in the following passage is mine, not Tim's).

                          aka The Lily White Wench

                            jgl...@uni.uiuc.edu

  Charges

   Annoyance (later pardoned).

  History

   Jennifer Glish went to University High School from 1990-1995, and was
   in Tim's class for the last three years of that set. During their
   senior year, they actually met each other for the first time. For a
                                                                 ------
   while, Tim was smitten and angry about it - and so, briefly, she was
   --------------------------------------------------------------------
   confined to the dungeon.
   ------------------------

  Status

   Jennifer Glish was sentenced to a week in the dungeon on July 2, 1995.
   She exited on schedule on July 9, 1995; she has not returned.

  Skirvin's Notes

   1. The above email address is out of date. Out of deference to our
   friendship, I will not give out her real address here.

   2. I won't comment on any rumors about this case, probably not even in
   email, though I might in Real Life.

   3. Killfiling Jenne was one of the most important moments of my Usenet
   career to that date. Too bad so few recognized it at the time.

   4. I still feel about about how I was acting back then, but...well,
   even if everybody else has forgotten, it's not so easy for me. Dammit.

   5. If Nik and Kile say a thing about this case that I don't want to
   hear, they'll be lucky to have as much memory as an HP48G...

  Daemons' Notes

   /We can probably give a better history here.../
   *Tim met Jenne in his senior year of high school; it was the first
   time they had classes together*
   /Also during that year, though, began the unihigh.* flamewars. For
   Tim, these were a very big deal - they were the beginning of his
   Usenet career, for starters, and the first time he ever really had to
   put up with real personal attacks/
   *Jenne, while not a computer person, did take part in these flamewars
   to some extent. However, she attacked Tim much less than most others -
   probably because she was less into that kind of thing in general*
   /Tim took this as meaning something - incorrectly, most likely - and,
   --------------------------------------------------------------------
   well, developed a crush. And boy, was he angry about that.../
   -------------------------------------------------------------
   *He's had some pretty interesting times relating to Jenne, not all of
   which she actually knows about. He's gotten over most of it now,
   luckily; now he just considers her one of his good friends and
   (suprisingly) confidants*
   /Us, we're sorry we had to keep her in here at all... she's a good
   person, if a bit strange at times/
   *And, you know, Tim's going to kill us if he finds out we just said
   that much...*

  Evidence

   Jenne gets (reluctantly) plonked
