No, that's not his style. Tim pretends to be polite while crouching to take a
sh*t at your back yard (and later asking for toilet paper and yells for
attention).

I linked to 4 separate incidents. I lost count of how many Digg accounts I had
terminated by telling Digg's management about forging of identity.

That describes the Microsoft 'fans' in this newsgroup, who subscribe to a Linux
newsgroup. If they are not paid to do this, it makes no sense whatsoever. As I
pointed out in the URL above, 4 people (at least) are constantly watching my
Digg account and modding down all my comments within hours of posuing (that
would be over 100 times per day, for _SEVERAL MONTHS_). Those 4 people are Tim
Smith (the nym he uses is harlowmonkeys), Gary Stewart (username flatfish) and
somebody else from COLA who goes by the name 'kretik' (I'm not sure if it's
Erik, but he's too rude to be Erik and he's certainly from COLA). I can't
recall the username of the 4th shill. Digg is well aware of this issue (others
have complained), but it's caught in a free speech dilemma. Bear in mind that
Digg is now bragging about its business relationships with Microsoft (yes,
it's true!).
