Matt was such a perfect example of the idiocy of the denier that Lester
Garrett, the moderator, let him stay in long after someone else would
have been banned.
However, Matt was losing nattles in Smartnet’s Soapbox (and admitted
it), Ilink’s Opinion and Politics – then Fidonet. The closes that he
ever came to a “win” was in the Dahlman-whining-again war in Controv –
and that was because we propped him up as a lightning rod while we
pushed Dahlman’s buttons.

Not surprising – Matt was a loser back then, too.

Are you really surprised?

Yes, but the rest of the world doesn’t have to make them up.
