Summary: A deranged but still technically-resourceful person has wasted a lot of our time and capacity this past year; this will hopefully be the last post in a while that I have to do addressing the matter

THIS Web site has been very productive for years and especially this past year, more so after I quit my job. Matthew J Garrett has been abusing us for many years, even back in the days we were in Freenode (he was the only person ever whom we muted! We had good reasons to, as the video above explains) and over the past 10 months he took his abuses to a whole new level, including actual crimes. Some time soon we'll give a full list of the crimes and relevant laws that were breached, preferably in a chronological order.



"I believe what we're witnessing right now is the complete and total breakdown of Mr. Garrett."Garrett, now living in the forest* without access to a shower, is totally insane. The things he says in IRC are unbelievable. It's like he's his own worst enemy and the more he speaks, the more he discredits himself. We'll spare the details, but they're somewhere in our IRC logs.

I believe what we're witnessing right now is the complete and total breakdown of Mr. Garrett. The manic rants, the rabid antisemitism and the impersonations are manifestations of his frustration and Garrett is trying to restore a water supply by mounting some pipes on some friend's old car (Garrett cannot or does not drive). While one can perhaps sympathise with his meltdowns, that does not justify criminal behaviour. We wanted to just focus on writing articles, but he abused us endlessly for over a year, after he had already trolled us a lot for years and kept defaming me in Twitter (as he had done to many other people).

"We'd rather cover technical issues, not social issues."Garrett now claims that his coke addiction (crack-cocaine) is a disability and criticism of it is "ableism". His Mastodon posts suggest he spent like 8 hours on some pipe job in one day (still unsure if the pipe will hold) and he's clearly in a bad situation, even lost the home he had a mortgage (debt) on.

Things aren't looking good for Mr. Garrett. Perhaps after weeks without water he has taken his online abuses to new heights, only to realise that sooner or later he may be detained and put on trial for it. As the video above notes, I will attempt to refrain from "wasting" time on this matter until next week. We'd rather cover technical issues, not social issues. _____ * S.F. Fantasy (Axe deodorant):
