TO HACKER NEWS PEOPLE (2020-03-02): Pretty much everything Steuard Jensen tells you is a lie. He loves to rewrite the history of the arguments he dragged out endlessly by pretending no one had ever explained a point to him over and over and over again.
It’s your choice whether to believe the bullshit. But a great piece of advice is to never judge the victims of character assassination by the lies the character assassins tell you. The fact Steuard continues to spread these lies after 20 years says much about HIS character.
Steuard was one of the worst people in the Usenet flame wars because he pretended to be unbiased only to drag out the arguments so that he could deliver a final judgment which conveniently omitted every point he disagreed with. Months later he would bring up the previous argument and say he didn’t know anyone had tried to explain things to him.
Repeat, repeat, repeat.
And he has been lying to people ever since.
If you don’t want to be called out for your lies and abusive behavior then act like decent, civilized people (and tell the truth much as that would hurt you to do so). You should also ask yourselves why such toxic personalities go out of their ways to post lies about people on the Internet.
Steuard, I urge you with all human compassion to seek professional counseling. I honestly believe you need it.
