This is the part that I am still not quite able to put together. That post, #17, was that user's first post on Free Republic.

Within a minute, we got an abuse report from TGS telling us it is niman.

It was.

It sure looks to me like TGS was being stalked by this guy.

This post here explains much, I believe. Including how just on the guy's screen name TGS knew it was Niman.

If TGS could give a good explanation as to why he had these multiple screen names laying around from 2001, and why he was trying to play niman's game of making himself look like multiple people (which he knew had gotten niman banned many times), then I would recommend he be restored.

Multiple screen names aside, it seems to me that he was begging for trouble. Case in point: his repeated assertion that the Iraqi decapitation strikes were a fraud ("faux-decapitation"), and that President Bush, fearing a massive anthrax attack, had gone along with or arranged Saddam's safe passage out of Iraq. Awfully Michael Rivero-ish, IMHO.

Add me to the list of responsible, non-multiple screen name Freepers who would like to see poster TGS return. I'm a professional researcher for a publishing company that sells homeland security materials to government agencies, and I've learned a lot about bioterrorism from TGS over the past year. He and I have had very many rational, polite debates. While he puts forth controversial theories, he never does so without evidence. He is always willing to listen to the opposing view. Yes, his manner is a bit abrasive at times, but I agree with the Freeper who called him one of the core brains of FR. During my morning Freeper hour, I always check his latest posts.

I HATE it when people talk to themselves around here because I view it as a colossal waste of my time. Having said that, it does seem a shame to see someone get banned for this. JMHO.

If TGS is reinstated, please make him swear he'll never end a reply with a question mark again. :-)
