If i agree the theymos is the government agent ., then actually what will be the problem ?

that would mean a government agent has the ability to read or modify any bitcointalk data. They could be donig very bad things with this, especially since government hate things like bitcoin which give u back the personal freedoms they try to take from u. maybe you post a bitcoin address here to receive 10,000BTC for pizza and theymos just changes it and steals money to illegal fund war in Iraq.

I don't think agent is the most appropriate term here. I would think a more appropriate word to use would be employee, and one that is not acting in their official capacity when they made forum related decisions.

Theymos doesn't appear to receive any meaningful amounts of money from his work on the forum so he obviously needs a job in order to pay his bills.

haha just like the gestapo were 'just doing there job'. u really think there isn't more to this?

No, I think theymos is trying to pay his bills, just like everyone else that isn't on welfare.

He works for the clerk of the State Senate. The job description of the person he works for is as follows:

he Chief Clerk and Director of Operations of the Wisconsin Senate is a non-partisan officer elected by the full Senate every two years, based upon nomination of the majority party caucus. Besides his ceremonial duties as outlined in the Senate Rules, the Chief Clerk serves as the chief operating officer for the Senate, overseeing the personnel, purchasing, accounting, and general business functions of the Senate. He serves as Parliamentarian for the Senate, the clerk for the Committee on Senate Organization, and provides legal counsel to Senate leadership on behalf of the Senate as an institution. He is the official custodian of records and papers of the Senate and directs the production of the Senate Journal of Proceedings. The Chief Clerk and Director of Operations also supervises the operation of the office of the Senate Sergeant-at-Arms.

Plus it is pretty well known that theymos does have political views

theymos will always be a puppet of the state for me, he has gone to the dark side. We all know bitcointalk is most important site in bitcoin community, it would be very advantageous for state to be able to exert some control over it and now theymos and government are BFF. What would happen if theymos' boss(es) ask him to insert brower exploits into bitcointalk to rape all important peoples in bitcoin computers with spytools. theymos might do it out of fear of losing his job because 'he is just trying to pay his bills'.
