Termite's defence of peoples right to say what they like does not extend to
attacking him personaly. Here is a note he sent to my system manager in an
attempt to get me sacked. 

===============
Dear postmaster,

   I have had things stolen from my apartment before and went to an
extra effort to remove my name from the MIT DATABASE so that people
couldn't access it and post it to the net.  Phil Hallam Baker,
hallam@zeus02.desy.de, took it upon himself to find out my name that
I worked so hard to keep unknown, and POST IT TO INTERNET CONTRARY
TO WISHES I EXPRESSED ON INTERNET.  I wish you would contact his
postmaster and see that he is disciplined.  I further wish that you
would inform him I'll consider him liable for any theft of my property
which results from his malicious act.
===============

This despite the fact that I did not in fact mention Termies psuedonym or
account at all. Only if one knew that Greg Mclaren == Sybok already could a
connection have been made with the poster. I mention the fact now because the
little shit who tried to get me "disciplined" is now making snivelling
complaints about his freedom of speach being infringed.

Since I had sent the stupid git mail from the system account before when he
tried making assinine threats he really should have known better. In fact he was
wasting his time I sent the note off to my boss together with the file of his
various gun fantasies he posted into alt.sex. My boss is now firmly of the same
opinion as me, namely that sybok is psychotic.

In fact Greg is like many insecure weak people a bully. He is eaten up by
inferiority and looks to make himself more powerful so that he can do to others
what he fears they could do to him. Hence his obsession with guns.

Oh and if you want to see the true meaning of maliciousness you should see what
I mailed off to the FBI concerning Greg.
