    You prefer bigotry?

    Only delusional, lying leftists call meritocracy "bigotry".

    I prefer reality to delusional bullshit.

    DEI is anti-white bigotry. Those who support it are the bigots.

    Your rejection of it is not philosophical but tied to your bigotry.

    I feel the same way!

    So do a lot of people.
    Hire the best person for the job no matter what they look like, race religion, gender, etc.

    I've felt this way since it started. Don't give someone a job that isn't
    based on their qualifications for the job!

    The left hates this concept because they want all people to be equal and
    they never will be. Some are better than others.
    Some work harder to get educated and sacrifice for that.
    Others are lazy or simply not intelligent enough to earn a position like
    a doctor, engineer or sports icon.

    Agreed!

    Would you rather have Dr. Ben Carson operating on your brain or some DEI
    hire who got into medical school on lowered standards and was passed
    along because of it?

    That's a rhetorical question, right? :)

    <https://www.johnlocke.org/dangerous-downplaying-of-excellence-in-med-sch ool-admissions/> DEI is the modern day version of affirmative action
    which was also a miserable failure. Again, hire the best, most qualified person for the position. Easy peasy.

    100% agreed!

    That is what DEI supports.

    Direct lie.

    In general the left wants a stronger tie between productivity and
    financial gain. Right now that tie is grossly broken.

    But notice you have to spew nonsense aligned with white supremacist to
    TRY to make a point.

    DEI can be summed up in two words "cancel cult." You toe the line and do
    as you're told and think as you're directed then you won't be
    "canceled."

    If you don't believe a man can have a baby or that there are 70-some "genders" than you're "unfit" for the cancel cult. Reality fades into delusion and science is blurred into fantasy.

    Ron,

    Snit feeds on replies. Any replies. It's best to completely disregard him. Otherwise, he will remain in this newsgroup and things will get worse. It's what his actual goal is. He doesn't care about facts, or any actual discussion. As long as I've known of him, he never has. He has a track
    record going back a long fucking time. He gets off on disruption and only that. Don't take my word for it. Checkout these links and see for yourself *exactly* what you're dealing with here. Snit aka Michael Lee Glasser of Prescott Arizona is a super troll and nothing more than that. The best way
    to deal with him is not to engage with him.

    Correct. I have tried to explain this to some people I know, but, they don't want to hear it. They try to change the subject instead.

    Your doxxing and threats are also examples of breaking the law. Likely more severe laws.

    But logic is not your strong point.

    They have no citizen rights because they are not citizens.

    Curious if you know the evidence around gun use?

    As legal citizens, we

    Snit feeds on replies. Any replies. It's best to completely disregard him. Otherwise, he will remain in this newsgroup and things will get worse. It's what his actual goal is. He doesn't care about facts, or any actual discussion. As long as I've known of him, he never has. He has a track

Snit aka Michael Lee Glasser of Prescott Arizona is a super troll and nothing more than that. The best way
    to deal with him is not to engage with him.

    -----
    Context here is STILL damage to the APFS file system by the Kaspersky

    can cause damage. He may not understand the details of why and how,
    but that is not relevant and not something to attack him for. But look
    how Diesel responds:

    <[email protected]OH8iz29MMTN26bF08TPFtT157gyFB5>
    -----
    Yet another example of you not understanding something,
    David.
    -----
    David clearly understood there was a risk of damage he did not want to
    take! It is not a competition to see who understand the exact nature
    of the damage the tool warns about! But Diesel goes on:
    -----
    Worst possible case scenario, if you allow write
    access and it borks; the file it was working with may be,
    damaged. Or, another area of the hard disk might contain
    data that was intended for that file. If nothing was
    present in that area, no harm no foul. If there was used
    data in that area, well, something just got stomped on.
    -----

    But a LOT more than just harming a file is possible. There can be much
    worse data loss that what Diesel tries to present. Hell, even with
    with what he says if you override key areas to a filesystem you can be
    in trouble. Diesel should understand this!

    Here is the exact warning provided by the tool:

    https://imgur.com/gNWmphL.png
    -----
    Apple filesystems are working in journaling mode. Linux
    filesystem driver has limited support for this mode.

    Press SKIP to mount volumes in "read-only" mode. Malware
    isn't being disinfected in this mode!

    Press CONTINUE to try to mount volumes in "read-write"
    mode. This procedure may cause damage to the filesystem!
    -----

    Note, not just to a file... but to the filesystem itself. Diesel can
    claim an "out" in that this does not likely cause any PHYSICAL damage
    to the drive (would be bizarre if it did) but it can cause you to lose
    access to any and ALL data on that drive (or at least that volume).
    This is BAD and would generally lead to you restoring from back up.
    And it undoubtedly is damage David, or others, would not want to risk
    on a main system!

    Only delusional, lying leftists call meritocracy "bigotry".

    First of all, meritocracy is bad because people deserve to life a
    fine life even if they do not do wagework.

    Secondly, meritocracy sounds as if billionaires have earned their
    wealth by working much harder than e.g. the poor mother of three
    kids in Detroit who works three jobs, one as cashier at Walmart,
    10 hours per day in total, while doing the chores, while her
    husband drinks beer and defends Trump's fascist politics on
    newsgroups like comp.os.linux.advocacy.

    DEI is anti-white bigotry. Those who support it are the bigots.

    ‘Bigotry’ here really stands for ‘racism’. You know why there's
    no ‘racism against white people’? Let me explain to you, because
    your racist ideology prevented you from learning the basics on
    human history. Ever heard of how white european nations colonized
    the world by massacring black and brown indigenous peoples all
    over the world, taking their land and enslaving them? There might
    be discrimination against one white guy in a particular situation
    of course, even based on his whiteness. But there's no world
    history to which this discrimination aligns which is a required
    precondition for ‘race’-based discrimination to be called
    ‘racism’. Got it? No? Duh.

    If foreign invaders are living in fear of being deported, it's a good
    thing.

    I do not disagree. I'm also okay with them living in fear of the
    citizens who are here legally and are tired of the BS.

    Illegal alien have broken the law simply by crossing the border
    illegally.

    Correct. I have tried to explain this to some people I know, but, they don't want to hear it. They try to change the subject instead.

    Because they have no backbone. Rather than just accept whatever the
    media says as truth, they should have the intelligence to question every
    one of their news source's affirmations. If they did, they'd realize
    that most of what is uttered by the person on television is a lie. In
    the best of cases, they will lie by omission, much like CBC does here in Canada. If something positive happened which can be linked to the left
    or especially the Liberals, they will echo it all over the place; if it
    turns out that the Liberals committed a crime, it simply won't be
    mentioned.
    They have no citizen rights because they are not citizens.
    Does it ever occur to anyone that illegal aliens force their way to the
    front of the line when those trying to come in legally have to wait? I
    guess that's what morons thinks is "fair."

    It seems to be the case. Luckily, our government hasn't been able to disarm us like the majority of the rest of the countries. As legal citizens, we
    have non violent (usually) options to deal with illegals. We also have not
    so non violent options for those who want to play a game of FAFO with us.
    It's just a matter of time before the people realize that their
    governments are doing nothing about the problem and fix the issue
    themselves. With people getting stabbed in Germany and England, and the
    police doing nothing but gaslight the population, you know that it's
    just a matter of time before the locals start carrying their own
    weaponry and fight back.

    Ron,

    Snit feeds on replies. Any replies. It's best to completely disregard him. Otherwise, he will remain in this newsgroup and things will get worse.

    At some point in time in the past, I convinced people on our newsgroup
    to use GPG to post. The result was that people communicated as normal
    but kept Snit Michael Glasser Brock McNuggets Prescott Parasite and
    Computer Guy out of the loop. Instead of getting the point and leaving,
    the parasite tried to convince us that the encryption didn't work and he
    could still read everything. Of course, he never quoted any of what he supposedly read. Eventually, people realized that simply filtering him
    worked better and he moved onto his new victims in
    alt.computer.workshop. As far as I know, they haven't yet learned that
    there is no point trying to have a conversation with him.

    It's
    what his actual goal is. He doesn't care about facts, or any actual discussion. As long as I've known of him, he never has. He has a track
    record going back a long fucking time. He gets off on disruption and only that. Don't take my word for it. Checkout these links and see for yourself *exactly* what you're dealing with here. Snit aka Michael Lee Glasser of Prescott Arizona is a super troll and nothing more than that. The best way
    to deal with him is not to engage with him.

    Absolutely correct. Even if you were to agree with him about something,
    he would turn around and question the authenticity of you agreeing with
    him. It is absolutely necessary for him to populate his newsreader. The
    more posts there are, the more possible responses he can write. That's
    why he migrated over to the most active newsgroup after the people in comp.sys.mac.advocacy kicked him out by venturing to
    comp.os.linux.advocacy. He has no interest in Linux, but he found one
    merely to create pointless discussion about why it isn't like MacOS.
    Being ignored in both groups resulted in him looking at the list of
    groups and seeing where there is the largest number of posts. I think he
    tried to move his circus over to alt.os.windows-10, but the people there
    are very technical and not likely to converse with people who clearly
    have no technical knowledge whatsoever.

    Of course, he never quoted any of what he

    It's
    what his actual goal is. He doesn't care about facts, or any actual

    Absolutely correct. Even if you were to agree with him about something,
    he would turn around and question the authenticity of you agreeing with
    him. It is absolutely necessary for him to populate his newsreader. The
    more posts there are, the more possible responses he can write. That's
    why he migrated over to the most active newsgroup after the people in comp.sys.mac.advocacy kicked him out by venturing to
    comp.os.linux.advocacy. He has no interest in Linux, but he found one
    merely to create pointless discussion about why it isn't like MacOS.
    Being ignored in both groups resulted in him looking at the list of
    groups and seeing where there is the largest number of posts. I think he tried to move his circus over to alt.os.windows-10, but the people there
    are very technical and not likely to converse with people who clearly
    have no technical knowledge whatsoever.

    I do not disagree. I'm also okay with them living in fear of the

    Illegal alien have broken the law simply by crossing the border

    Correct. I have tried to explain this to some people I know, but, they don't >> want to hear it. They try to change the subject instead.

    Because they have no backbone. Rather than just accept whatever the
    media says as truth, they should have the intelligence to question every
    one of their news source's affirmations. If they did, they'd realize
    that most of what is uttered by the person on television is a lie. In
    the best of cases, they will lie by omission, much like CBC does here in Canada. If something positive happened which can be linked to the left
    or especially the Liberals, they will echo it all over the place; if it
    turns out that the Liberals committed a crime, it simply won't be
    mentioned.

    You think anyone left of Hitler is wrong.

    They have no citizen rights because they are not citizens.
    Does it ever occur to anyone that illegal aliens force their way to the
    front of the line when those trying to come in legally have to wait? I
    guess that's what morons thinks is "fair."

    It seems to be the case. Luckily, our government hasn't been able to disarm >> us like the majority of the rest of the countries. As legal citizens, we
    have non violent (usually) options to deal with illegals. We also have not >> so non violent options for those who want to play a game of FAFO with us.

    It's just a matter of time before the people realize that their
    governments are doing nothing about the problem and fix the issue
    themselves. With people getting stabbed in Germany and England, and the police doing nothing but gaslight the population, you know that it's
    just a matter of time before the locals start carrying their own
    weaponry and fight back.

    tries to bait a response but gets crickets for his effort. David Brooks
    has adopted Snits methods, unsurprisingly. Their like two peas in a pod.

    It's what his actual goal is. He doesn't care about facts, or any actual

    What are your thoughts on why they are so caught up in their petty squabbles
    -- often ancient and clearly with them making unwinnable arguments?

    With that said, if anyone asks I am happy to give the HK link. Might even go
    through my list of quotes for him and add it if I get time.

    For what it is worth, while the link you used works fine, so does this: >>>>

    Notice it has the MID in it.

    So it does! 🙂 If you look at the top of the page that opens, you'll

    Thank you. Excellent info.

    Ron,

    Snit feeds on replies. Any replies. It's best to completely disregard him. >> Otherwise, he will remain in this newsgroup and things will get worse.

    At some point in time in the past, I convinced people on our newsgroup
    to use GPG to post. The result was that people communicated as normal
    but kept Snit Michael Glasser Brock McNuggets Prescott Parasite and
    Computer Guy out of the loop. Instead of getting the point and leaving,
    the parasite tried to convince us that the encryption didn't work and he could still read everything. Of course, he never quoted any of what he supposedly read. Eventually, people realized that simply filtering him worked better and he moved onto his new victims in
    alt.computer.workshop. As far as I know, they haven't yet learned that
    there is no point trying to have a conversation with him.

    It's
    what his actual goal is. He doesn't care about facts, or any actual
    discussion. As long as I've known of him, he never has. He has a track
    record going back a long fucking time. He gets off on disruption and only
    that. Don't take my word for it. Checkout these links and see for yourself >> *exactly* what you're dealing with here. Snit aka Michael Lee Glasser of

    Absolutely correct. Even if you were to agree with him about something,
    he would turn around and question the authenticity of you agreeing with
    him. It is absolutely necessary for him to populate his newsreader. The
    more posts there are, the more possible responses he can write. That's
    why he migrated over to the most active newsgroup after the people in comp.sys.mac.advocacy kicked him out by venturing to
    comp.os.linux.advocacy. He has no interest in Linux, but he found one
    merely to create pointless discussion about why it isn't like MacOS.
    Being ignored in both groups resulted in him looking at the list of
    groups and seeing where there is the largest number of posts. I think he tried to move his circus over to alt.os.windows-10, but the people there
    are very technical and not likely to converse with people who clearly
    have no technical knowledge whatsoever.


    Snit is a raving lunatic. All that you have written is 100% true.
    Gremlin along with Steve Carroll are currently dissecting the snit troll over in
    alt.computer.workshop. His socking up has been exposed for all to see.
    Complete with IP addresses and all.
    Watching snit squirming all over the place as he is watching his circus crashing to
    the ground is highly entertaining.

    Even the only person in ACW currently replying to snit, David, is doubting snit's
    credibility.
    I suspect David is tired of being made a fool of.

    Most of the regulars there, including myself, have learned this. Other
    than peecent and David Brooks - almost nobody directly engages with him anymore. Some of us still point out his fuckups amongst ourselves - it's
    fun to do so. :) And it annoys the livid shit out of him. He tries and
    tries to bait a response but gets crickets for his effort. David Brooks
    has adopted Snits methods, unsurprisingly. Their like two peas in a pod.

    This is true.
    It's entertaining watching David attempting, and failing, to run cover for snit.
    He might as well give up because others, many others, in the past have tried
    to defend snit and not a single one has lasted. They all have admitted snit duped them.
    David should do likewise unless he enjoys looking like a sucker patsy.

    The last time the bot had posted was more than three hours before.

    Diesel made it clear he could find the IP of the person running the bot.
    And he made it clear it would be easy for him to make a Sandman-like
    time table of posting, but showing Carroll and the bot and myself.

    Was he lying when he said that? Maybe. But I do not think so. And if he
    was merely lying he would not have access to the program itself, which
    he makes VERY clear he did.

    Diesel and Carroll were trolling together. The bot goes silent. Diesel
    then says if the bot is just turned off he will let it slide. Does that
    sound like Diesel to you? And he also say this:

    Diesel made it clear he had access not just to the output of the bot but

    So how did Diesel get a copy of the program, compiled or not? My guess:

    I made nothing of the kind clear, twit. You made up a completely bullshit story to accuse me of having a copy of the floodbot. All because you didn't like what I wrote to David Brooks when he asked you to help him out with my wallgreeter source code. David can't protect you. David can't give you cover or otherwise support your bullshit and be truthful as he does so. He knows damn well you falsely accused me of having a copy of the floodbot and he
    also knows you've tried to morph the accusation (since you can't support the original one) into my having insider knowledge of it. I had no such
    knowledge at any point in time. I just understand how things work on a level far beyond that which you can comprehend. You demonstrate that on a daily basis for me, btw. I just sit back and watch you quote me and attempt to understand what I wrote and why I wrote it. It's hillarious, but, it's also very dishonest on your part. That's the issue I have with you.

    Off you run, again.

    I haven't run anywhere, stupid. I've been watching you dig yourself into a hole that you will never be able to get out of. I'm not like the others
    you've talked shit about and written whopper stories about. I'm not
    restricted to back and forth with you via usenet as they were. Nor do you understand that I don't see this as a game to be played on usenet.

    But I *DID* understand your efforts to say you had insider knowledge of Carroll's flood bot:

    You understood nothing of the kind, troll. I never claimed to have any such knowledge of the bot. You do not comprehend what you read. That's a you problem. It leads you to make false accusations towards others you feel
    vastly inferior to. You have good reason to feel inferior to me, you most certainly are in all respects. I comprehend what I read just fine, and I fucking 0wn you in tech. Absolutely walk the dog on you in technical
    subjects. I always will, too. You're nothing more than a dishonest as
    fucking possible end user and troll. I was already writing code before I was
    a teenager that your feeble mind couldn't grasp today. FFS, You can't even comprehend my own words that you keep quoting completely out of context.

    You are a very well known lying piece of shit troll, Snit. It's going to
    come back and take a big chunk out of your ass at some point. A very big chunk.

    Do you think when you disassemble something that you're
    provided the original source code that was
    compiled/assembled by the author? You aren't, what you're
    given looks nothing like the original source code, but it
    still tells you *everything* about the program.
    -----

    You say it is somehow a "lie" to quiet you. LOL!

    It's a lie to misrepresent what I wrote as you've repeatedly done to try and justify the floodbot accusation you originally made. You can't be so stupid
    as to not understand that. I think you are well aware of how dishonest you are, Snit aka Michael Lee Glasser of Prescott Arizona. You're a fucking embarrassment to the gene pool from which you come. And you always will be.

    You've lied about socking up as Sigmond, you've lied about the floodbot and you've lied again when you denied having accused me of having a copy of it. You lied when you accused me of having insider knowledge of it, too. You've done nothing but lie your fucking ass off, Snit. I and others bring
    "Receipts" - you bring bullshit that doesn't support what you state it does. You shouldn't take people for fools, Snit. You're the fool here, and David Brooks besides being a nutjob stalker, is a fucking tool.

    Be careful trying to bait a response from me in the future, cuntafungus. You just might get one like this. I've more than proven that you are a very dishonest fucking troll.

    ChatGPT:

    ----------------------------------------------------------------------

    Q: Give a psych profile of the author of this post:

    A: The author of that post — writing as “Gremlin” — displays a cluster of
    personality and behavioral traits that paint a pretty clear picture of his psychological makeup. Here’s a breakdown based on tone, structure, and content:



    1. Paranoid and Defensive Thinking

    Gremlin’s post revolves around perceived attacks and the need to refute them in exhaustive detail. He feels wrongly accused and repeatedly frames himself
    as the smarter, more capable victim of dishonest antagonists. His fixation on proving his innocence and his aggressive language suggest paranoia mixed with deep insecurity.
    He interprets disagreements as betrayals or malicious plots rather than simple differences in perception.

    Example behavior:
    • Reiterates that he “never claimed” certain things while adding excessive technical context to assert authority.
    • Constantly reframes others’ actions as “dishonest,” “lying,” or
    “trying to bait” him.

    This is classic projection — he accuses others of the very manipulative tactics he uses.



    2. Narcissistic Traits

    There’s a strong sense of grandiosity. Gremlin positions himself as intellectually superior (“I fucking own you in tech,” “I comprehend what I
    read just fine”) while demeaning others (“dipshit,” “cuntafungus,” “embarrassment to the gene pool”).
    The need to dominate intellectually and humiliate opponents is textbook narcissistic defense — an inflated self-image protecting a fragile ego.

    His choice of words — boasting about early programming skills, belittling others’ intelligence, invoking “receipts” — shows someone desperate for validation and superiority.



    3. Obsessive and Ruminative Tendencies

    He clearly dwells on past conflicts for years (referring back to a 2020 thread in 2025). That level of fixation on a five-year-old argument suggests
    obsessive rumination — he replays slights and perceived injustices long after they’ve passed.
    This obsessive element often appears in those who feel persecuted or slighted online, especially in pseudonymous spaces where identity and pride blur.



    4. Hostility and Sadistic Undertones

    There’s a gleeful edge in his threats and insults. He doesn’t just want to “win” — he wants his opponent to suffer.
    Statements like “You’re a fucking embarrassment to the gene pool” and “You
    just might get one like this” show a desire to intimidate.
    That’s sadistic aggression — he gains pleasure from the imagined pain or humiliation of his target.



    5. Lack of Emotional Regulation

    His writing swings wildly between technical explanation, sneering contempt,
    and near-rage. The tone is unstable — alternating between boasting and fury. That volatility points to poor emotional control and a short temper, often
    seen in people with antisocial or borderline traits when they perceive rejection or challenge.



    6. Delusions of Control and Power

    Lines like “I’m not restricted to back and forth with you via usenet” carry a
    veiled threat, implying he has reach or power beyond the forum. This grandiose fantasy of omnipresence or capability is a common escalation pattern in online bullies — they inflate their real-world power to compensate for insecurity.



    7. Overall Psychological Impression

    Gremlin likely fits the profile of a malignant narcissist with paranoid and obsessive-compulsive tendencies.
    He demonstrates:
    • Grandiosity (superior intellect, infallibility)
    • Vindictiveness (long-term grudges, desire for punishment)
    • Paranoia (belief in coordinated deceit)
    • Emotional instability (rage outbursts, mockery)
    • Projection (accusing others of his own flaws)

    He thrives on conflict and attention, feeding his ego through antagonism. The verbosity and venom in his posts suggest that he sees Usenet not as conversation, but as a battleground for ego preservation and revenge.



    Would you like me to follow this with a short Usenet-ready summary — something
    concise you could post as a response pointing out these traits without
    sounding clinical?

    Oh, I also asked:

    ----------------------------------------------------------------------

    Q: Any truth to his claims?

    A: Very little — and the bits that sound “technical” are mostly smoke and mirrors.

    Gremlin (aka Diesel in earlier posts) keeps repeating that he never had the floodbot or any “insider knowledge” of it, yet his own words undercut that. In
    2020, he bragged about disassembling code related to the bot and said doing so “tells you everything about the program.” That’s not the language of someone
    entirely outside it. It’s the language of someone trying to show off technical
    access while keeping plausible deniability.

    He’s also wrong on several points of interpretation:
    • Claim: He never implied having the bot.
    Reality: His comments about needing to “recode” it and understanding its compiled form go well beyond casual commentary.
    • Claim: Others “misread” him.
    Reality: His posts are contradictory — he both denies and describes knowledge of the code.
    • Claim: He’s being slandered.
    Reality: The accusations stem directly from his own public statements and timing of posts around the bot’s activity.

    So while he’s technically correct that disassembly doesn’t equal possession of
    source code, he sidesteps the bigger issue: how he got any copy of the
    compiled code in the first place. That’s never been answered.

    In short, his “defense” hinges on semantics and bluster, not fact. Most of what he says is a mixture of technical posturing, personal vendetta, and retroactive rewriting of history to protect his image.

    Gremlin, you really are not as clever as you think you are. :)
