It's almost certainly someone pretending to be a sock-puppet of Garr's for a laugh.
Yes, it is.
Wait!!!!!
You (your forum) refused to confirm Werner is Garr's sock puppet for how long?
You (your forum) refused to violate the sanctity of a deleted post for how long??
Now, just off hand, you quickly confirm that an account that makes Garr look bad _is_ a sock puppet.
Dude, this is REALLY wrong. You are playing favorites. You are using your position on this forum to promote your own interests and that of your friends. You are doing this in a fashion that appears to be underhanded.
If it looks like a duck, quacks like a duck and walks like a duck; it is a duck.
You, theymos, are looking as bad as Garr and Josh. Perhaps you should look to MNW as a role model of how to do the right thing.
I just considered not posting the above to protect my presence here. Fuck that. Go ahead. Delete this post and ban my account if you think it necessary.
If this forum represents bitcoin, bitcoin will suffer a long time before it succeeds, if ever.
He may just be responding more promptly given the situation, and assuming he is actively monitoring this thread... and seeing it is a sensitive situation right now, is attempting to do the right thing by revealing it is not Garr... but it does seem like he, and some others, have a soft spot for Garr, just an observation... but given the reality of this forum right now, every post on this thread right now could be getting made by theymos and other mods. AHHH am I the only actual user here?? am I being scammed?? AHHH!!!
