Well, I was thinking about the whole TM thing on holiday while drinking too much egg nog.
What I was thinking was:
1) If TM is actually somebody in the so called "anti-Serpo" camp, then he is obviously somebody with pretty "l33t" skills.
2) But, if TM is actually somebody in the "pro-Serpo" camp, the need for cool hacking skills is non-existant. In other words, TM is just another "character" created to spin out the Serpo mystique.
Based on the timing of TM's actions, as Zep spelled out above, the obvious conclusion is that he is in the pro-Serpo camp. (And, as we've seen nobody in the pro-Serpo camp seems to have the requisite IT skills anyway..)
However, TM does seem to have some IT skills:
a) he (assuming it's a "he") used multiple proxies {and I haven't seen any evidence that "the usual suspects" of Serpo supporters even know how to do that}
b) I understand also that TM did explain to some people the "correct" interpretation of the whoel Doty/IP address situation.
The only conclusion I can make from the above is that TM is actually "somebody" who is on the pro-Serpo side, AND has a history of using pseudonyms and changing IP addresses. There aren't that many people who fit that bill.. But I won't name any names..
Is this a private fight, or can anyone join in?
