That's so fscking ironic I don't know what. The incessant giggler who
lives under his wife's thumb for 30 years calls someone else an 'effete

I went through lots of those "151 examples" provided by HPT. Many of
them call you a liar, a forger and a user of sockpuppets.

Not one of them provided any proof.

Nor has HPT of course. Tonto pops up, posts some idiocy, then heads

Not there, no, as that's not the purpose of the list. FWIW I just
provided an example of Snit lying (it was related to a statement he
recently made). He was caught testing out a new sock puppet and
subsequently lying about his use of it while also claiming (lying)
that people "asked" him to do it (same sort of lie he told when he
admitted to forging my posting ID to another csma poster). Lots of
people on that list have provided all kinds of examples of Snit's
antics, the only people that deny them are other trolls, his sock
puppets/shills. In fact, the very reason for the existence of the list
is because Snit repeatedly denied all his BS. Now, with the list, he
is forced to call everyone on the list a liar, troll, sock puppet,
etc. Funny stuff;) It's not Snit... just ask him... it's virtually
everyone he has come into contact with. LOL!

By the way, have you forged posting IDs? No? Well, ask Snit if he has
and watch his answer if he bothers to give one (probably not). Then we
canl compare it to the other answers he has given on this topic...
some of which aren't true because they say completely different
things. He has a real problem keeping his lies straight. I attribute
it to his using off brand glues... he really should know better than
to skimp.

Then you wont mind posting a link to this proof you bullshitting

have never seen him openly lying. I see you repeating the same claims
all the time and yet, like that cluless dickhead HPT, never actually
proving anything.

Exactly. Steve Carroll lies more in one day of posting than I have since he
started forging and collecting quotes in 2006. When Steve does "try" to
quote an alleged lie of mine, he goes back *years* to some ancient debate
and insists if I do not rehash it with him *again* I must be saying there is
an expiration on lies. Insane.

This has been going on since 2006. Half a decade. All because some woman
he had the hots for obsessed over me to the point the police told her to
back off. Really... long past time for him to let it go. Heck, he claims
to be married now... does he really need to live in obsession of his ex?

It's a fact that Snit's crap has gone on for a LONG time on

Pretend that this doesn't show what it shows based on some delusional

Yup. Carroll is just full of it. And obsessed.

> was the last time?

It was years ago, so details might be off, but (and from a recent post):

2003:
* I used a Usenet client where the email shown was tied to a joke email I
used (mostly, I think, used as a "junk" email for services I signed up for).
As I switched computers I had things set incorrectly and used the joke email
name in a Usenet post to a health forum... and used my normal .sig and did
*nothing* to hide the mistake. When asked about it I openly admitted to it.

2008:
* I used the same joke name in CSMA. When called on it, I admitted it and
noted it as a joke. I was busted based on my post from 2003 and made
reference to that one time of posting under that name. [Of note, it was
Steve's ex / non-ex who found the post from 2003... she was more obsessive
than he is, and his relationship with her is the reason he became obsessed
with me - a whole different story]

2011:
* Steve Carroll, again and for no reason other than his obvious problems,
starts trolling me over irrelevant health issues. He tries to tie this to
his accusations of dishonesty, but his *best* effort to show me as being
"dishonest" is to reference the above things from 2003 and 2008. In other
words, he tacitly admits his claims of my being dishonest are completely
unfounded.

That is what this is all about: Steve is trolling and lying and showing he
has no support for his BS claims. Given he has no support, he shows he is
complete and utter scum and mocks people based on irrelevant health issues
they posted about many years ago in an appropriate forum.



> Did you forge an NNTP posting host ID because someone on csma challenged
> you? Or did you do it as a forger?

Again, this is from *years* ago, so details might be off, but Carroll was
using a sock that he and his crew were accusing me of using. They told me
if I admitted to using that sock they would stop trolling me. So I posted
with that name making it *very* clear it was me and, of course, admitted to
it. In other words, I did *exactly* as they asked me to do (admitted to
posting with the name) and now Steve uses *that* against me. Yes, it was
foolish to trust Steve... and I have made the same foolish mistake many
times. I am overly trusting. Steve takes advantage of that.

Steve is almost surely going to dredge up a kazillion debates going back to
2006 now... and insist that if I do not respond to each one this means I am
putting a time limit on "lies". In other words, he is about to prove his
obsession and insanity. This has been his pattern for over half a decade...
culminating in his claims of my "impersonating" the person he claims I am -
and threatening to have that person fired, even if he has to twist arms
(yes, he claimed his goal was to have the person he claimed I was
"impersonating" fired... he is, literally, insane).

I am sure I can dredge up 10x the number of lies from him as he can pull up
from me. But why? Who cares. I already showed one lie of his that he
repeated *thousands* of times (that is not an exxageration - though it was
"only" in the two thousand to three thousand range)... and his response was
to simply poo poo it away.

ex / non-ex? Care to provide your "support" for your claim (lie) of
this ex /non-ex? I didn't think so... and maybe DFS won't appreciate
you making things up (lying) when he just finished stating that you've
been completely straight with him ( at least, as far as he has seen).
Some people are funny like that..(remember how Nicky used to blindly

Incorrect, I pointed to this one solely because it was relevant to my
countering of a statement you made (and to display how long your
history of dishonesty is). You're lying here today, in this very post
to DFS, in fact.

Said the guy who has made several claims in this thread with no
support. Think anyone will notice?

Other than Google, you mean.

Nah, I posted it here to address your claim that you don't suffer from
a social anxiety. I believe that you do, as does the cola poster that
brought it up, obviously.

Another lie. Maybe DFS will be like many of the others (who grew bored
of your antics) and won't ask you to provide any support for this lie,
either. How many lies is that in this post now?

> that he and his crew were accusing me of using.

I have no "crew", Snit... never had one. All anyone needs to counter
your lies is the Google record.

> They told me if I admitted to using that sock they would stop trolling me.

So who are "they"? Why don't you point to 'them'? I'll do ya one
better... I'll point to *you* (once again making two different claims
on the same topic - meaning: one of them can't be true, or maybe both
aren't).

During your admission to a forgery to Sandman you disingenuously
claimed that I "dared" you to do it:


Unable to ever keep your lies straight, you then changed this story
to:

"So I did what one of your gang asked me to do and you now chastise me
for it" - Snit

http://groups.google.com/group/comp.sys.mac.advocacy/msg/8e88f56eec82e1c3?hl=en&


So... here, you not only lied about my having a "gang" but you claim
one of them "asked" you to forge so "they" would stop trolling you.
Where is your proof for this claim? Think DFS will care enough to ask
you about it? Or do you think he'll start to see a pattern of you
making claims and not supporting them by now?

> So I posted
> with that name making it *very* clear it was me and, of course, admitted to

Oh, you did do that, but that wasn't your reasoning. You *thought* you
were throwing people off the trail of how disingenuous your sock
puppetry and forging was by tossing up a Brock McNuggets post with the
idea being:

'See, everyone? I tell you when I'm using sock puppets or forging IDs,
etc.'

But no one fell for your red herring.


> In other words, I did *exactly* as they asked me to do

Yes... because you are just SO "trusting". Who do you really think
you're fooling with this bunk?

> (admitted to posting with the name) and now Steve uses *that* against me.  

I use your varying stories "against" you, Snit... "against" your
contention that you don't lie. Any idiot knows that when a person
regularly posts varying stories on the same topic that only one of
them stands any chance of being true (or, in your case, none of them
are likely true). People just aren't this stupid.


> Yes, it was foolish to trust Steve...

So was it me (like you told Sandman)?

Or was it, like you told me, one of my "gang" ("So I did what one of
your gang asked me to do...")?

Or was it "they", like you just said above to DFS ("I did *exactly* as
they asked me to do ")?

How come you can't make up your mind on who asked you to forge
something, Snit? Is this a thing that happens SO often in your life
that you just can't remember all the many people that have asked you
to do it who offer to "stop trolling" if you agree?

> and I have made the same foolish mistake many

Point to the post where I said I was going to attempt to get "fired"

Nowhere in that post does it say I was attempting to get you "fired".
Do you even know how to tell the truth anymore?

Translation: Snit is well aware that some people do bother to read his
mountains of drivel so he is staving off (in his mind) having to
address what he knows Google contains plenty of. The only problem
is... one by one, people eventually see Snit for what he really is...
a person who constantly asks others for "proof" but makes claim after
claim of unsupported BS.

Um, OK: Steve has never had a girlfriend, or even any woman even remotely
interested in him. His claims to the contrary were lies he told to try to
feel better about himself. Better? :)

Snit still alleges this lie with no support at all (you bothered to
post this, why aren't you asking *him* to support any of his
claims?).

I posted Snit admitting to doing this. I'm pretty sure you've seen it
by now. Are you trying to convince me that you're as dishonest as
Snit? Or that you're a troll in this ng?

Ask Snit if he did this... then listen to the BS he'll spew on it,
too. Hint: It will sound a lot like the unsupported crap he's posted
several places in this thread.

Seems you have much to talk about with your new pal... I suggest you
ask him about making his and ed's (a csma poster) private email
exhange public without first asking ed. See... I *did* ask ed... AND
I can produce his answer from Google. Care to take a guess what it
will be? And there is also Snit... admitting to have posted the email

Tell you me you haven't seen Snit do this in COLA. I'm pretty sure

much all the time).

Snit is a forger, the people in csma have proven it beyond any

Evidence that you didn't see by reading one or two threads, you
mean? Many people have produced plenty of evidence that could lead
any sane, honest and honorable person to believe Snit could possibly
be an imposter. Ask yourself this... do you know many college
instructors that have engaged in the following:

Forge posting IDs (and documents) on usenet

Online sexual harassment (including visiting a female poster's
neighborhood communal website to find ammo to use on usenet).

Posting private email to a public forum without permission of the
other party

Creating disparaging websites based on lies and half truths for the
sole purpose of antagonizing people

Mining data on people from other newsgroups for the purpose of
trolling in csma

Purposefully mangling context and purposefully misquoting what others
have written

Making negative references about a poster's children for the purpose
of antagonizing

Repeatedly denying proof of all of the above and much more

You got it. DFS is as dishonest as they come, and tries to cover it by
extremely out-of-context quotes. The extent to which he does this to the
accompaniment of sneers and insults is quite wacky.

Steve repeatedly made this claim... even saying he had a list of reasons he
hated me (or whatever) he was going to send to my employer. And if he
cannot get me fired:
-----
If he works there and I happen to run into an official who is
trying to cover for his own... I'll point out to this person
the method in which he will also be mowed down by the
indefensible... which will probably prompt them to cut their
losses. So... while Snit claims, at least, in this newsgroup,
to not be 'cowed by bullies', a thing we all know has nothing
to do with reality... we'll see if he's cowed by what he
really faces... being confronted with his own disingenuous
activities by the people who, he *claims*, employ him.
-----

Such gibberish from Carroll: if I work where he claims I work and where he
has shown he knows how to find my info at the relevant website... what does
that even mean. He claims I work there in one breath then pretends to not
know in the next... anyway... my employer, he says, will "cut their
losses"... which is, they will fire me. Obviously this is what he means.
Beyond any doubt... and Steve makes it clear he wants to bully me and see me
be "cowed" by his threats.

Steve also use to write about his list of reasons he hated me (which he
would send to my employer), and claim:

09/11/2009 "I'm about 11-12% done..."
09/02/2009 "I've already finished about 10% of what I'm going to send"

Steve Carroll: repeatedly threatening to send his list of reasons he hates
me to my employer. What is sick is Steve cannot think of a reason on his
own to *not* take things out of Usenet and work to have people who bested
him in online debates fired... he wrote, of his list and attempts to have me
fired:

Unless he, or someone, gives me a sound reason not to... I
intend to do what I said I'll do. That's not a threat...
that's a promise.

So he *promised* he would send his list of lies and other BS to my boss.
Promised. But now he claims there is no evidence he ever did - because even
Steve knows his word means *nothing*.

...

Exactly... Steve claims my comments are BS... he cannot accept his own
irrational and hate-filled actions. Even Steve knows he has gone to far in
the midst of his breakdowns.

Oh, and Steve, you failed in your efforts. You are a failure. As is your
norm.

I've seen Snit and his puppets and shills making this claim but no one
has produced a post showing me doing what Snit claimed... that being,


getting the person I believe Snit could possibly be impersonating

"fired". Here's a paragraph from the last post in that thread... a
post that Snit still hasn't responded to... take a look to see why:


"As it is you who has made the connection to Yavapai by pointing to a
web site you *claim* to have created... and where the names Michael
Glasser and Yavapai College are mentioned... why shouldn't the folks
at Yavapai have the opportunity to see if the allegations are real?
Why shouldn't Yavapai be afforded the opportunity to judge if they are
negatively affected by your postings?


Providing Snit is telling the truth about working there, can *anyone*
tell me why Yavapai college shouldn't be given the opportunity to see
who is representing them on the internet by using their name on his
website? Anyone? I think the taxpayers of AZ might also be very
interested in this sort of a potential problem. Below, I quote Snit
talking about the "real world".

Fact: All sane, honest and honorable people know that, in the "real
world", a school or business does not like to be associated with
people that others find dishonest or lacking in integrity.

Fact: Snit stated, several times in that thread, this basic theme...

"Some day, Steve, I hope you enter the real world. Accusations - even
false ones such as yours - can ruin carriers." - Snit

"Have you figured out that people can have their careers ruined by
false allegations?" - Snit


I can't even begin to imagine Snit's version of the "real world".
Obviously this must be a "world" where he is *SO* mistrusted by his
employer that he fears some anonymous person writing to them from the
internet with what he claims are "false accusations" because they
might believe the anonymous person over their own employee! Think
about that for a second... this necessarily means he has either earned
the mistrust of the college (IF he even works there, then this'd be my
guess) and he's cowering in fear, knowing the axe will someday fall...
or he's working for a bunch of total assholes who are unreasonable
enough to "ruin" his career over "false accusations" that they don't
bother checking into. Wow.

WOW! Either way... it must SUCK to be Snit!

Bottom line: If the accusations are, as Snit claims, "false", and he
is a trusted employee, then he has nothing to worry about. The reason?
Who doesn't know the answer?

Honest and honorable people with good reputations don't fear "false
accusations" from strangers made to their employers over the internet.

(sorry, Snit... your attempt at using your "psych degree" on this to
shut me up failed miserably... as it always does - I keep telling
you... people just aren't as stupid as you need them to be).

Sure. In this very thread, in fact. Here you are, pointing to Chris
using an *obvious* figure of speech with his statement and you're
calling him dishonest over it. OTOH we have me, pointing out that you

showing otherwise) to have used a sock puppet you were trying out
"once" - "one time" during a certian period. I showed all this to
DFS... and, like you, he ignored the solid evidence of Google. DFS's
actions were as dishonest as yours. What you posted above was merely a
figure of speech by Chris and you dishonestly labeled it as a
"complete fabrication". Hint: A great example of an actual "complete

No, not great. Extremely ungreat. The actions of a real loser - it's
not like Snit had tried to get you fired or anything. All he had done
was - I guess - previously beat the hell out of you in Usenet arguments.

What are you blabbing about? The fact is you repeatedly threatened to
contact his employer, and you were hoping he would be fired. Over nothing.

You're a petty piece of shit. Got it?

I ask everyone to support their claims, if I don't believe them.

Again, who cares what Snit alleges about a "girlfriend"? By your own
admission you had a girlfriend that became your wife via common-law
marriage in CO... except you said CO doesn't recognize it. Thus she is
only your girlfriend, unless you want to call her a domestic partner.

Am I a "liar" now?

So he posted as Brock McNuggets or whoever - so what? He admitted it.

How is it a forgery - unless there's a real Brock McNuggets - and
clearly that's as wacky a name as Dirk Diggler?

Show us these 'disparaging' webpages. They can't be 1/100th as bad as
the bullshit and insults you posted against Snit - just in this one thread.

If I was an idiot like you I would claim you just lied about me. Snit

my personal experiences with him vs all the lunatic claims about him.

Maybe I'll be proven wrong - but I doubt it very much.

I don't know if he was straight with ed. He has always been straight
with me.

Did he betray ed's confidence by doing so? Was the private email

Yes, I want to see ed's answer. And a link to the private email

I saw Snit tear cola "advocate" TomB a new one regarding the meaning of
"an operating system". Some of it was damn funny, too. Doubtless Snit
spun some things his way - that's what happens when you're not
consistent and specific with your words and language. And this is what
Snit does if you let him - he's very tenacious and can be nitpicky to
the point of delirium. That's his business. That's why I had him
killfiled for years here on cola. And even today I read just some of
his posts - I'm not into long debate-fests.

Regardless, this is another thing that I don't see worth putting in a
list of "Snit's sins".

I doubt it. I saw a little of Snit's .mov file where he easily refuted
your claims about that .pdf.

Why would he "forge a .pdf" anyway?

I've seen that list before, and there's no doubt he has a long list of
detractors. 128 or so, as I recall.

Funny, though, that a lot of you guys call him a liar, but nobody
provides any proof.

In nearly all my interactions with him he's been nice and honest. My
guess is most of you are mad because he argues so long that he wears you
down and you have no recourse except to lash out. Over here in cola
they call them 'Snit circuses'. I've never participated in one, and
probably never will.

Unless I'm in the middle of one now...

An imposter of who? For what reason?

Show me all this evidence. Identity thief and imposter is a very
different action from nymshifting as 'Brock McNuggets'.

That's a serious charge. Where's your proof?

In fact, why am I always having to ask for proof? Why isn't it right
here in your response? Names, dates, links, etc.

Which websites? Surely you have them archived.

So? Why do people think their statements in other newsgroups are exempt
from usage?

And you did this exact same thing to Snit (the "social anxiety" thing),
so why are you whining?

> Purposefully mangling context and purposefully misquoting what others
> have written

Like you haven't done that repeatedly to Snit?

For instance, when he uses a colloquialism "one of your gang asked me"
(in reference to multiple csma attackers), you turn it into "Snit lied
about me having a gang."

See how ridiculous you sound? See how easily your own twisted
accusations and words against Snit can be turned against you?


(I can't believe I'm involved in this shit, to be honest. But I'll play
for a little while.)

> Making negative references about a poster's children for the purpose

I'll believe it when you provide the proof that he did something like
that unprovoked. That's not at all his style on cola - in fact I'm sure
he would chastise for that.


> Repeatedly denying proof of all of the above and much more


Except for YOUR serious charges of ID thief, imposter and sexual
harrasser, that is all child's play stuff. I truly can't believe you
care about ANY of it.

My guess is you didn't actually contact his employer and make such
claims because you're a chickenshit who isn't willing to suffer the
consequences when he sues your ass into oblivion for making false
charges against him.

If you want to see shitty Usenet behavior, read this cola craphole for a
day and see the garbage the Linux "advocates" spew. 7 and Homer and Rex
Ballard and Chris Ahlstrom will make you laugh in amazement that anyone
could be so utterly strange and/or dishonest.

In the past some cola "advocates" actually contacted an anti-Linux
poster's job to try and get him fired - just as you threatened to do to
Snit. They have for years cursed us and wished death and disease on us
(not that I'm innocent - I wouldn't mind one of them slitting his wrists
open on video).

After reading some of the loons that post here, you'll appreciate just
how honest and straightforward Snit is.

He pretty much has to have been straight with me: I had him killfiled
for years. Even today I read a minority of his posts, and I don't go
back and forth with him very much.

He sometimes posts mountains of tedious drivel - endless you-said-I-said
and hair-splitting crapola. That's not the kind of Usenet communication
I care to engage in.

Hah, too busy with the taint region, I suppose.

He's lied about his education. He knew none of the relevant and basic
terms until I used them first. He could google for papers to
misunderstand though. Do I have hard proof that he's lying? No,
because he won't even name where he took his classes. But anyone with
any brain in their head who has ever taken an HCI class, can see that
the names of classes he listed are not classes at any school and some
are not even related to HCI.

He's lied about sources he referenced. He claimed to read them. When I
pointed out they didn't say what anything, he posted a new batch,
which also contained none of the information he claimed they did.
Months later he finally admitted to not reading them at all. So while
he finally admitted he didn't do what he originally claimed he did, he
was still lying for quite some time. He finally admitted that in a
thread recently, which I can look up if, if really necessary.

Maybe there are more, maybe that's the extent of it, in the end it's
no big deal. Snit's biggest problem is not that he's a liar. It's that
he's a whiney little netnannying douchebag that can never own up to
being incorrect.

Worse than that, he denied the existence of the most basic of principles -
the ones covered in any intro class on GUI design.

But these are the "lies" that I tell - I make points and support them. And
those who cannot support their claims get bent out of shape and make
accusations.

No, no, no. I never said that any of your "general principles" were
lies. They're just stupid and incorrect. Your idiocy and and your
idiotic support are not lies. Claiming you took classes you never took

You quoted no lies - because I did not lie. You whined about my not knowing
details about a source... but then I showed where you were completely
clueless about sources you provided. You even went so far as to insist
Carroll (not Steve!) emailed you denouncing his public statements. It was
absurd.

No. Your claims were outright absurd: you repeatedly denied the importance
of understanding the principles of design. In design. It made no sense -
your BS was self-refuting.

Once again, I'm am not claiming you are lying about the things you

Let's see... the discussion has swung from Snit's claim that I tried
to get a person I believed he might be impersonating fired to....
telling people what Steve Carroll was "hoping" about a newsgroup troll
(who *may* not be who he says he is). And the discussion includes two
people, (you and Snit) claiming that Google shows this, yet, you have
both pointed to posts that don't back it up. Maybe you're just one of
Snit's sock puppet army... this is exactly the sort of thing he does
all the time.


> You're a petty piece of shit.  Got it?

Correction, I'm not the one making unsupported accusations (that'd be
Snit... and now you) while overlooking supported ones. In any event,
in the "petty" dept. Snit beats everyone. That's the main reason why
so many people have "hounded" him on usenet. Snit has asked for what
he gets... in fact. he has asked for far more than he gets.

So you believe Snit, then... despite the fact that he can't produce a
single quote from me saying that I attempted to get "fired" the person
I believed he might be impersonating. Of course you do, that's why you
leapt to telling people what I was "hoping" for when you realized that
Google didn't actually support his claim you initially supported... so
you changed the claim. I suppose you figured that no one would
notice. Well, I noticed... others might, too.


> Again, who cares what Snit alleges about a "girlfriend"?

Someone that is challenging Snit's contention that no one ever points
to his lies and wrongdoings, obviously.

Fact: Snit contacted my ISP (numerous times) and inadvertently (or
perhaps purposefully) got my wife involved. She saw a few of his many
posts alleging an online girlfriend. Of course, it wasn't much of a
problem because she trusts me and Snit had no evidence of his lie at
all, just his usual bogus accusations. Snit's theme of 'what goes on
on usenet should remain on usenet' was made from his usual
hypocritical stance.

(cue up you claiming that I must have 'deserved' having my ISP
contacted... to which I will then point out that Snit has done this
with other posters, thus, providing a condition for you to support
Snit having done it to them, too)

Getting the idea here yet, DFS?

And to the story of Snit contacting my ISP? Snit wrote that he had
gotten my ISP to dump me (I'm still using Comcast, in fact, they
offered to help me after i showed them Snit's BS). Snit also claimed
that Comcast told him that people like me were the reason Comcast was
getting out of supporting usenet newsgroups (I, and others, posted the
real reason). In fact, one of his puppets/shills created a thread
entitled "Steve Carroll screws it for all Comcast users". In the
thread, Snit's puppet/shill wrote this about me:

"His account was cancelled. He did then get another account just to
try to bypass the block. That account was cancelled as well."

And Snit (using the Snit handle) wrote:

"That part I did not know. Not a surprise, though, given how he at one
time was paying *my* ISP to have an account so he could try to forge
me. My ISP cancelled that account once they were in on the game."

Fact: I never paid Snit's ISP a cent, nor did I ever have an account
with them so there was no "game" to get in on.

Why am I pointing this out? To challenge Snit's contention that no one
ever points to his lies and wrongdoings.

Rather obvious that Snit created yet another sock puppet or engaged
the use of a shill, this time for the express purpose of claiming
(with 'support') that he and another 'poster' had received a letter
about how I and a few others were responsible for Comcast dumping
usenet (and that I tried to forge him by using his ISP). Here is how
he concurred with the puppet/shill:

"Comcast made it clear that the reason they made their business
decision is that Steve and a small number of others made it not worth
it for them to offer the service."

Notably, unlike the private emails he posted of ed's, Snit was
unwilling to post the email between him and the Comcast rep he
*claims* to have gotten this info from. Gee, the guy who claims to
always support his statements wouldn't support this one... what a
shock. If this was Comcast's position why would the rep have a problem
with it being public? Notably, puppet/shill rantings were the only
"backup" Snit's BS Comcast story ever got.

Why am I pointing this out? To challenge Snit's contention that no one
ever points to his lies and wrongdoings.

Fact: Snit also alluded to the idea that GoDaddy had given him a
special contract whereby they were allowing him to provide false
domain name registration info (in violation of ICANN requirements.
That's right, Snit was trying to sell the story that GoDaddy was
thumbing their nose at ICANN... just for him). Snit wrote this to a
poster named Lewis when he showed that Snit had provided false
registration info when he reg'd his domain name with GoDaddy"

"How do you know what agreements I have or have not made with anyone
but you?
Not everyone is "stuck" with the standard agreements." - Snit

I even pointed Snit to a portion of the blog of GoDaddy founder (Bob
Parson )and cited the following text:

"It is now illegal to provide false information when registering a
domain name. Last year, there was a brief attempt to make registrars
responsible for the accuracy of the Whois database. Fortunately, that
legislation failed. What did become law was a new, stiff penalty (7
years) for providing false WHOIS information"."


The profile on this issue got raised (either before or after my blog
quoting) and Snit was seen quickly fixing the data (which is another
funny story). Of course, he pretended that it was all a "mistake" or
some such nonsense. Did Snit tell lies in this episode? NO question...
and if you wish to delve into it I'd be glad to... in another thread
created specifically for that purpose.

Why am I pointing this out? To challenge Snit's contention that no one
ever points to his lies and wrongdoings.


In my opinion all these types of behaviors are based on a delusional
variant of narcissism (like Snit's little 'theater events').

Unfortunately, for you, Snit is not referring to her when he talks
about the woman that he claims obsesses over him; he's referring to
the poster Elizabot, the woman he contacted the police over.

So why did he lie about it later? Why do I say lie? Because on
numerous occasions I pointed to the fact that Google showed him using
the handle more than the "once" that he claimed during a certain time
period (a claim he is *still* making today).


Why am I pointing this out? To challenge Snit's contention that no one
ever points to his lies and wrongdoings.


Let me ask you, did you buy his "I should never have trusted Steve'
line? Or the fact that he said 3 *different* things about who "asked"
him to use the Brock McNuggets sock in some agreement that they would
stop "trolling" him if he did so?


> He admitted it.

I'm not talking about his sock puppets, I'm talking about NNTP posting
IDs. Here is an observation made by another poster and Snit's reply:
(which you have already been given - hint: I'm not doing this for you,
I'm doing it so any readers can see what you must overlook in order to
support Snit).

Sandman, in his list of observations, cited:

"Attempting to forge a NNTP-posting-host in an attempt to antagonize
another poster"

To which Snit replied:

"Well, he did dare me... but yeah... "

Why have I repeatedly pointed this out? To challenge Snit's contention
that no one ever points to his lies and wrongdoings.

Of course, your answer will probably be that I must have 'dared' him
to do this... you know, so he could "antagonize" me... and you'll
cling to this 'belief' without ever seeing a shred of proof that I
'dared' him.

What was so bad? I spoke only the truth. Why shouldn't Yavapai college

He's been lying and engaging in all sorts of other BS for years... all
the while claiming that no one ever shows "evidence" of his lies or
wrongdoings. Well... that's what Im doing here... and you two are
whining about it. I can understand from Snit... but you're backing

Who else other than a pal would you so staunchly ignore evidence of
his wrongdoing while telling people what a complete stranger was
"hoping" for after reading a few posts without any knowledge of Snit's
doings on usenet) in his behalf? I'll retract the "pal" statement and

him.

If you're willing to show, in public, that the posting of private
emails (without permission of the other party) to a public forum is OK
to do based on it's content I'm afraid you'll have to do your own
research on that. Of course, now that you have made clear this just

I'm pointing to several other "sins" of Snit's that are worse and
you're ignoring those, too... so I fail to see why you pointed to
something you've listed. I suspect it's mildly interesting to anyone
reading to see the sort of hoops you're forced to jump through in
order to support Snit... so at least there is some comedic value
here;)

I'm sure you've convinced yourself of that... just as I'm sure you

Unless you are trying to claim that he needed to do it in an attempt

Tons of people have provided proof, that is obviously not what that

The name started in csma and it was based on things that Snit was

Yes, that would be a convenient belief for the supportive stance you
have taken of Snit... too bad it doesn't reflect reality.

Forgery has been covered. As to the imposter part, I don't believe
that a college level instructor would do all the kinds of things this
Snit character has done. If it turns out that he is one and he works
at a college paid for by taxpayer dollars, why shouldn't the college
and the taxpayers of AZ be made aware of who is representing them on
usenet? Do you think they would want him to post Yavapai college
references on his website? Ask yourself:

Do you think it would be wrong of someone to contact you with
disingenuous and inappropriate behavior if the person engaging in that
behavior was pointing to your school or business on his website (that
he repeatedly linked to on usenet)? Would you (if unable to get him to
curb behavior that *many* people have commented on), at the least, ask
him to remove the reference? Do you think you should be given the
opportunity to decide this? Or do you agree with Snit that the school
or business should be denied such an opportunity?

> > Ask yourself this... do you know many college

That he forged at all is the point.

The fact is that no one knows exactly how many IDs or documents Snit
forged (or what kind of damage he has caused by doing so). But,
then... that's the problem with going down that path, isn't it? The
bottom line here is that if Snit weren't so dishonest he wouldn't have
trashed his online reputation the way he has in the eyes of so many
people. That he has trashed it and points to places like Yavapai
college might just be a problem from their viewpoint. In Snit's
version of the "real world" a person would stay silent about this
happening (unless his name is Snit, then he will be a hypocrite). Do
you live in Snit's "real world"?

It's a fact. This post is getting far too long as it is (as do all
posts about Snit's BS - he does this on purpose and you are proof that
it yields him some benefit). I can take this to a separate post and
cover it.

I have been posting proof and I'll post more. Why does Snit's "proof"
not actually back his statements? Why are you not asking him about
that? Why have you taken to doing the sort of thing he does (by
telling people what a stranger was "hoping" for when that stranger
rightfully challenged the ludicrous idea that this Snit person just
might possibly be impersonating someone)?

Why are you switching the discussion to this red herring? Do you think
no one will notice? I'm talking about Snit being a disingenuous,
dishonest troll. No, that's not illegal... but it's what I'm
discussing with you here. Seems Chris might be right about you being a
troll... you sure keep using the exact same tactics Snit uses. Funny,
that...

> Which websites?  Surely you have them archived.

If you honestly think every piece of text on the web pages that Snit
has created were all truthful then you are seriously mistaken. Other
people in csma commented on his website lies. If I feel so inclined
I'll dig them up ( I did post the stuff from his pages, but I don't
have an official archive). But... as this isn't the kind of thing that
will make the reader see what you're doing to support Snit, I probably
won't bother unless I get more time. The fact that Snit admitted to
having authored websites that he is "happy" to know a poster was
'annoyed' by is (for all sane, honest and honorable people) enough to
see what kind of a troll he is.

I don't think it's exempt. Why he did it to several people was the
point here. In fact, that 'why' is the reason I started doing it back
to him.

> And you did this exact same thing to Snit (the "social anxiety" thing),

I'm not whining... I'm challenging Snit's false statements... ones
like his claims that people never show any of his lies or
wrongdoings. Fact: Snit recently said (in cola) that he doesn't have
a social anxiety, I merely challenged that statement. Would you like
to see my proof for doing so? Or do you prefer not to see it? If you
ask for it and I produce it, be aware that Snit will say I am
targeting him (for addressing *his* statement). Note: I''m not saying
Snit is lying about having a social anxiety... I'm merely challenging
a statement I feel Snit has shown ample evidence against.

> > Purposefully mangling context  and purposefully misquoting what others

There have been a relative few times I have done it to Snit and a few
other trolls to hand them back what they do all week long year after
year. Now ask Snit why he has done it to so many people so many
times. Obviously, he'll say he hasn't... but people sure seem to
believe that he has, to the point where the vast majority of them have
labeled him a liar, troll or worse. Why do you suppose that is? Is it
possible that they are all wrong about Snit? I guess in Snit's version
of the "real world" it just might be.

Snit also called this alleged "gang" the "cretin crew", many times:

If you can claim someone was "provoked", or not,   *any* actions they
engage in are OK in your opinion?

If you actually believe this then it seems strange that here you're
whining about the stuff I'm doing to Snit (which is basically just
challenging his BS... like this whopper that nobody ever shows any
evidence of his lies or wrongdoings).

So posting up private emails is also OK in your book. Got it. Hmmm....
forum readers are learning a lot about your value system here, aren't
they?. That Snit also contacted my ISP (and the ISPs of other posters)
after stating that what goes on on usenet should be kept on usenet
(thus, proving him to be a hypocrite) is probably also OK with you. Is
this so? Feel free to comment on this one... I'd really like a person
with your value system to weigh in on these things.


AGAIN... I am addressing Snit's claim that no one ever provides
evidence of his lies or wrongdoing... and what do I get from you?

"I truly can't believe you care about ANY of it."

What does whether or not I "care about ANY of it" have to do with me
addressing Snit's bogus claims that no one ever provides evidence of
his lies or wrongdoing? I'm not trying to show I "care" about any of
"it", I'm merely countering a particular lie of Snit's, one of many.
What's the big deal with it and why is this so difficult for you to
retain?

And for the record... I said that *I* believe he is an imposter. Can I
prove that? No, and I have admitted to as much on several occasions...
but I also have never seen a college instructor act the way this Snit
person has, which is where my doubts come from. The ID theft I pointed
to him admitting to. The sexual harassment I will be glad to
discuss... in another thread created specifically for the purpose.

Reality check: I made the charges in a public forum, years ago... if
they are false "Snit" could have sued right away. He kept threatening
to do so, for years. Why do you suppose he didn't?

The oh-so-politically correct Snit should be on you for that
statement... but... as you are here solely for his defense ( a thing
that doesn't occur too often nowadays) he will undoubtedly let this
slide.

Which doesn't explain why you are overlooking asking him for proof of
false allegations. That you don't *want* to see such proof is obvious.
Again... I'm not posting these things for you.

>: I had him killfiled for years.  

Perhaps you should have left it that way... I suspect you'll soon wish
you had.

Bottom line: The recently unkillfiled usenet poster you are "backing"
clearly isn't being "straight" with you. And when he once again tells
you that no one ever provides any proof of his lies or wrongdoings?
Well, you may just want to stop parroting that line until you look a
little closer at what Google has to offer. I fully expect to see you
run away now... most people who have tried to 'back' Snit do so at
this point, when they realize there is much they *don't* know about
Snit. No one will blame you, least of all me.

Where did Snit claim he took classes? And how do you know he never took
them?

Snit, did you actually complete the classes you claimed, at the time you
claimed them?

Netnannies are annoying, no doubt about it, but Snit's no worse than any
others. In fact, Hadron has netnannied me much more than Snit.

If Snit won't own up to being incorrect, and you have proof he is
incorrect, sometimes you just have to drop it and move on.

That's what we've all been doing with 7 and Rex Ballard for years and years.

*exist*. Of course they do. For some odd reason cc thought they did not -

I don't know where he claimed to take them. He never answered me. I
know he never took them because this is the list of class names he
gave me:
"data visualization, HCI general concepts, graphics and multimedia,
design technologies, experiments in UIs, cross cultural UI design and
others"

That is a direct quote from Snit about what specific *HCI* classes he
has taken, which has been quoted to him many times, which he has
commented on. This all directly contradicts what he says below,
surprise surprise. Not that he's lying below, he's just a complete
moron. While some would be small portions of an HCI class (or a highly
specialized HCI class at a high level), none are really "classes" as
far as class names go, some are not even related to HCI, and some are
laughable and obviously made up. "Experiments in UIs," "design
technologies" and "others."

You claimed to take specific HCI classes, before. I see you've
softened your stance some. I would ask what classes you took that
covered UI priniciples in a Masters of Information Technology, but I
don't care to read more bullshit.

Ironic, considering that I have responded to your comments perhaps
*hundreds* of times (actually there's no perhaps about it) and you've
just ignored it. So what you call running away, I call tired of
correcting your bullshit on this topic. You can have real teachers/
authors with much much more experience and knowledge than me correct
you if you desire. But you don't really care. You just want to think
you're right, which is why you'll never seek the truth. You can claim
I'm freaking out or have lost something all you wish, as I could
really care less because I am done debating this topic. I just wanted
to point out instances where you've lied to me not dredge up this old
topic.

You have no response to the evidence of your error in claiming the
principles of UI design do not exist is just absurd. Your claim was absurd
- and it was proved wrong (as if it needed to be - it was liking proving the
sky is up or 4 is larger than 2).

> So what you call running away, I call tired of correcting your bullshit on
> this topic.

Ah, yes, you "corrected" me by claiming books about a topic supported your
denial of the existence of the topic and by claiming prominent people in the
field rescinded their public views in private emails to you.

In other words: you lied.

> You can have real teachers/ authors with much much more experience and

The level of experience needed to know you were flat out wrong is minimal.
Really, your error was not a complex one or one that takes an expert to see
why it is so wrong.

Yet you cannot quote the "lies"... you are just whining that I proved you
were wrong about general UI principles not existing. Oh no! You better
bad-mouth me some more... I bested you in a Usenet debate. Man, how
horrible!

Are you going to keep escalating your anger until you reach Carrollesque

you on your BS just because you are at possible risk of that.

Look above at your quote. Notice how you do not even quote the entire
sentence. Why not? Oh, because nobody ever said those were *classes*, I
noted I had covered those *topics* in classes. The full sentence:

Classes on data visualization, HCI general concepts,


graphics and multimedia, design technologies, experiments in

UIs, cross cultural UI design and others.

In other words, your claim that I took those classes is a lie... I have
taken classes which have covered those topics. At first I was going to give
you the benefit of the doubt you were merely mistaken - but the fact you
snipped the sentence the way you did makes it clear you are out and out
lying. You also claimed my stance has "softened", but you cannot quote

Great example of you trying to quote "my" alleged lies... to do so you have
to clearly be dishonest in how you snip the sentence.

Now let us look at the classes from the college you claimed to take classes
from - the very one you claimed taught you there are no such things as
design principles:

<http://www.hci.vt.edu/courses.php>
-----
CS 5714 - Usability Engineering
Design and evaluation of effective user interfaces, beginning with
principles for designing the product.

CS 5764 - Information Visualization
Discuss design principles, interaction strategies, information
types, and experimental results.
-----

Oh no! Your claim even there is not honest.

So as you were insisting I lied about my education, the reality is I did no
such thing... but you either lied about yours or were so lost you cannot
figure out what the classes offered at your college were even about.

Check and mate. Once again, you clearly have been bested in a Usenet
debate. Now the question is how you will respond. My guess is you will
respond poorly and call me names and make even more accusations.

You mean like where I pointed out that MacBook Air thread you started

place you had parroted the faulty info from... trying to sell the idea
that you were not the only idiot who fell for it?

Yeah, you responded to this one hundreds of times... but, as cc just
accurately pointed out, you were unable to admit you were wrong for
the longest time. Which is just another reason why I decided to
outnetnannhy the biggest netnanny on usenet (I also decided to give
you the "gift" of correcting your mistake).

I asked what HCI classes you have taken, and you responded with the
statement below.

I asked what *HCI* classes you took, and you said, "Classes on..."
which I suppose could mean you just answering what topics you took and
not actual class names, but that doesn't correctly answer the question
I originally asked. In context it sure sounded like you meant those to
be HCI classes. Like, "I took HCI classs on.." Now you're saying they
weren't actually HCI classes, but certain subjects you consider to be
HCI (like experiments in UIs) were touched on in other classes. Hmm...
But I've also asked you point blank if you've taken HCI classes and
you still responded yes and referred to that quote. So...

Depending on how you use the phrase design principles, there are no
such thing. Your definition and made up term "principle of general
consistency" certainly does not exist. There are also no "general
principles." You're reading alot into a one sentence class blurb.

So what are the design principles discussed in CS 5764? Are they
general? Is the "general principle of consistency" discussed? Is it
possible they are referring to the techniques for coming up with your
design, none of which include the "general princple of consistency"?
Do you not know the answer to these questions because you've never
taken these particular classes?

Well I know that everything I learned in those classes is not in a one
sentence summation. I know that we didn't use the phrase "design
principles." But you're right. Maybe I couldn't figure out what the
classes I took were even about, but you can just from reading a single
sentence.

classes. You win, mindreader.

As noted: every source you or I could find supported the obvious fact you

in the field emailing you to denounce their public claims and how books
about a topic were written to deny the topic exists. You were bested in a

You can move goal posts all day long: you denied the existence of basic
design principles - and you also claimed to go to that college. The classes
at that college, however, are clearly contrary to your claims. As far as
your BS about my not having taken the class - lovely... I never claimed to.

So they discussed them without ever using the term? Sounds amazingly likely

Gee, I can figure out that a class that with a description starting with
"Discuss design principles" will have something to do with *design
principles*. Yeah, I went way out on a limb there. LOL!

You cannot figure out how I could tell a class with that description would
include discussion on design principles.

*That* is funny. Very, very funny.

Not if it is to make any sense.

Hold up, though... Snit *claims* to be a teacher. Are you actually
suggesting that he cannot differentiate between topics covered in a
class and the class itself? ;)

No question of that. So either Snit is:

unable to differentiate a topic taught in a class from the class
itself (not something that seems likely for a guy claiming to be a
"computer teacher").

or

telling another lie and had trouble keeping it straight from all his
other lies.

One thing you guys have to understand about Snit... lying is like
breathing to him.

Well, at the least, you're able to differentiate a topic from a class
that might teach several of them. We now know Snit can't lay claim to
this ability.

How can it be a "science" when any old Joe can create a funky new UI
that people immediately take to, ie Bryce and the Sims games and so on?

Maybe lining things up and spacing them and using color and highlights,
etc, could be "science", but I see it more as creativity or art.

To me UI design is a ratio/combination of the two. Anyone can whip together
a UI but the *best* designs have just the right amount of science and art
behind them. I don't think you can do a good job with just one and not the
other.

Think of it this way: when someone designs a car or a house there is a lot
of science behind it - material science, aerodynamics (for a car), heating
and cooling and much more. There is, of course, also a lot of art - and
both are important.

With UI development it is much the same - there is a lot of science behind
the general principles (consistency / inconsistency, the way widgets work,
metaphors, focus, etc.), but there is also a lot of art.

Exactly: as is the case in pretty much any well done design, whether it is a
car, a house, a plane, etc.

After reading what I have shown you how can you say Snit is no worse? Snit
has been pulling this shit for years and nobody has stopped him. Yet.
If we all call him on his shit and let the college he claims to work at know
and contact his wife maybe he will finally stop lying about me and making

So you have never taken HCI classes. Good to finally hear you say
that.


So what were the design principles they discussed in that class?

Do you know?

Since you've never taken an HCI class, could it be possible that you
don't know what they mean by design principles (or any of the other
phrases) in the class blurb?

Would you like me to tell you what they are referring to?

Would you like to know what they are laughably referring to as
experimental results?

Would you be shocked to learn that the phrase "experimental results"
was never uttered in the class? As in no one ever came close to saying
anything like "Today we're learning about experimental results" or "in
this class you will learn about experimental results."

Don't run from the questions.

You can also use things like critical parameters to show that you are
achieving your desired effect with whatever UI you have created, which
also allows for some reuse. There are some other verification methods
as well.

I see Snit agrees, and I'm sure Hadron does as well. I've never said
anything different. I believe I said the exact same thing in this
thread. The only disagreement is that I call this combination of art
and science, "not science." Apparently that's just ludicrous. Oh well.

That reminds me of that kid who keeps showing off about his "degree"

courses. How stupid did he look when all the links were posted...

He started strutting around claiming I was clueless if I thought a CS
degree would include compiler engineering ... LOL! "Advocates" like
sMarti saw a chance and hitched themselves to his hearse "LOL"ing and
saying "how stupid of Hadron". I suspect, from his low IQ and tendency
to boast about his certificate, that his "CS Degree" is more likely one
of these "back to work" college "Keyboard familiarity" conversion
courses offered to those in need of "care in the community".....

You amaze me if you really believe that. Am I missing you being sarcy? I
hope so.

Millions have gone into research for UI standards. And thats only the SW
part. UIs encompass HW etc too - do you really believe the cockpit of a
new Airbus is just "aligning" a few controls?

Interesting goal post move from my proving you lied - your snipped sentences
prove it.

As far as what HCI classes I have or have not taken, that is not relevant.
Again: no classes are needed to be able to show you are wrong about your
denial of the common design principles we discussed. You were repeatedly
busted lying: lying about Carroll sending you emails denouncing his public
views, lying about how books about how to best implement some of these
principles supported your denial of their existence, etc.

On and on you made a complete and utter fool of yourself. Now you are
running to the red herring of who has taken what classes - as though it
matters to showing your lies. And remember, your claim of taking classes is
very questionable - the very school you claim you went to clearly has
classes which discuss these principles you deny exist. When faced with
this, you claimed - almost surely dishonestly - that the classes did not
discuss what they claimed to in their descriptions.

On and on. You have *no* leg to stand on. You just go on and on and on...
hoping to find some trolling BS to hang your clearly incorrect claims on.

You were wrong. You were proved wrong. Your claims were foolish. Why not
just accept that and move on - stop lying, stop calling people names, stop
bringing it up (as you did in this thread).

...

> So what were the design principles they discussed in that class?

I am referring to these classes:

CS 5714 - Usability Engineering
Design and evaluation of effective user interfaces, beginning with
principles for designing the product.

CS 5764 - Information Visualization

Science has indisputable rules. A good UI is just whatever

I didn't snip any sentences. I posted the list of classes you said you
took. I asked what HCI classes, and you responded with that list. The
fact that you say they are topics now is not me moving the goal
posts...

All the things you said I was lying about can be verified, easily, but
you prefer not to.

No, the very school I went to clearly has class blurbs that mention
things like design principles and experimental results, and which make
it sound like they have trouble fitting in an entire semesters worth
of material. That is not actually the case. Perhaps you can email the
instructors?

Right. So someone who has never taken HCI classes, never taken the
specific HCI classes I referenced, and who skims through online papers
and pulls out material out of context, has now educated me on HCI, and
proven exactly what is taught in specific HCI classes. You're the one
with clearly no leg to stand on. The fact that you won't even do the
simple verification and shoot off some emails shows you know you're
wrong.

No. Learn to read. "Some designers follow *YOUR* principals." I was
explicitly referring to your made principles, and incorrect thought
process. There really aren't any principles, just techniques, which we
have discussed. The fact that you don't know what was discussed in the
class, makes it irrelevant as to what you think they are talking about
when they say "design principles."

By the way, do you know who wrote the blurbs for the classes?

I asked what HCI classes you took. You responded with "Classes on... "
and now you're saying that list was just topics. So you never took any
HCI classes. If you have, you can go ahead and mention them.

What the fuck are you talking about? Do you understand English? I know
what classes you are talking about. I was asking if you want me to
inform you of what they mean by design principles or even interaction
strategies, information types or "experimental results."

I did not lie, and the fact that you refuse to answer the questions
shows that.

Anyone thinking of taking HCI classes please stop! Don't waste your
money! Snit has skimmed through literally a handful of papers found
online and knows what is taught in 5000 level courses based on a one
line class blurb written by a department head secretary. He will
educate you for free! Learn all about the "general principle of
consistency!" Learn why the GNOME Guidelines are the bible in HCI!
And... well that's about it and all you need to know anyway.

Right, and without getting into the argument again, there have been
huge debates over whether social and behavior sciences are really
science. I have quoted famous physicists and respected Scientific
journals that claim they are not. There is a whole wikipedia article
dedicated to the science wars. So there is no contridiction.

It is a pretty pathetic attempt to save his ego: a tacit admission he has
been completely busted lying and spewing nonsense only to fall back to
claiming he has an education (from a school whose classes contradict his
claims) and then making up claims about my education. As it it takes *any*
college classes to know how amazing wrong his claims were and how dishonest
his lies were.

Really: who does he think he is fooling?

It doesn't take college classes at all. But as I've explained
everything to you, and you read only two sentences out of papers, and
you still get everything wrong, I don't know what to do.

The offer stands for you and Hadron to separate your bodies from each
other long enough to fire off an email to anyone and everyone and get
some answers. Which takes longer, for you to write a hundreds lines of
your bullshit, or for you to write an email to Carroll and ask about
the general principle of consistency and if he would call HCI a
science? But by all means, continue to fondle each other and claim to
be correct.

Above you just keep denying and trying to push things off topic. Boring.

You were busted lying. You have been shown to be clueless on the topic of
UI design. Why not just drop it and move on - stop whining about what
classes anyone has taken (not relevant) and trying to push the topic to
whatever other side issue you can think of.

Just deal with the fact you were busted lying and move on with your life.
You lost a Usenet debate and dealt with it poorly - oh no! Better harp on
your failings forever and try to save some face. Get over it.

None.

Your "explanations" are bogus gibberish where you do thinks like deny a book
on the importance and methods of following principles supports your denial
of those principles.

Ah, like Carroll who will denounce his public stance but only in emails.

Get over yourself and stop trying to save face. You made a fool of
yourself. Move on.

The problem is, that's not his public stance.

I understand completely. You have the opportunity to completely prove
yourself right or wrong (but you're obviously right. I mean you read
tiny portions of a handful of papers and you took an unknown class
that had a topic dedicated to experiments in UIs and graphics and
multimedia), but you don't want to. I get it. I mean if the Founding
Fathers were around today and answered emails, I would in no way want
to know if my views on the Constitution are what they were actually
thinking at the time they wrote it, or if I was misinterpreting
things. Hadron backs you up, so what more do you need? I think you're
making the right move, here. Just keep calling me a liar without ever
checking to see if I'm really telling the truth or not. Easy peezy.
It's the COLA way, afterall. Why act any different than Peter "I
refuse to read the links you give me" Kohlmann? Snit "I refuse to
email living authors who respond to emails quickly and verify whether
cc is lying" LastNameHere has a nice ring to it.

Seriously, what on earth are you rambling on about? Nowhere has Snit
claimed to be an expert. He has stated, and correctly and prvably, that
he recognises the importance of UI design. As do oodles of tech writers,
standards bodies, technical institutions, architects, aircraft
designers, games writers, robot designers (hi 7!) etc etc etc.

Its not some sort of "black art" - millions go into research for these
things. There are oodles of documents outlining adopted standards.

I am at a loss to understand why keep showing up your lack of
understanding and knowledge of this very obvious fact.
