Oh fercrissakes...
I
really wanted us to just get to "agree to disagree on this" and move on LoCa, but since you
insist on pursuing this, two more points need to made:
1.That copy and paste from Quad's post, (I don't know where you got it from. I have him on "ignore" here, I "bury" his posts unread on Re-boot, and I try to scroll past them on the old CSB) proves absolutely
nothing about whether or not Steve used a proxy IP. (BTW, Gar has been contradictory on this, not categorical... he said he was "sure" it wasn't Steve, "at this point"...which was fairly early on... and he also said "reasonably sure"...which is something less than "certain"... and he never addressed the question of proxy IP's...)
2. I
had hoped to avoid pointing this out, (but your relentless pursuit of this makes it unavoidable) but the fact of the matter is that Gar has a
very good and understandable reason for why he would want to aim speculation
away from Jason being Steve.
Gar wants to reduce the "drama factor" at the CSB. Obviously, the drama factor surrounding "Jason" is considerably
less if he's some new whack job who just happened by, then if he is the site's foremost resident long time whack job trying to run some sort of game. (Unfortunately for Gar, Steve
himself made this impossible, when on top of all the other wildly implausible coincidences one would have to accept in order to believe it wasn't Steve, Steve outed himself)
But even so, the drama factor
would have been
considerably less if there
wasn't a poster who seems hell bent for leather to keep this alive come hell or high water despite
every polite effort by others to bring the discussion to an amicable close....
I can
assure you, you are doing Gar absolutely no favors by
insisting on keeping this discussion alive.
