I just got this email. Let me preface it by saying that I have never received an email from him before. He has never bought a membership. He has never applied for a free one. According to Yahoo!, he's not on any of BME's mailing lists there. Until this morning, I had no idea he even existed.

Thanks for selling my address to the Porn Site...
The SPAM has been a real HELL. ASSHOLE!YOU ARE THE REASON THE INTERNET WILL BE REGULATED IN THE FUTURE.
It's just one of the “Huh?” type emails. Random idiots send me stuff like this all the time. It's sort of weird because you'd think people would realize that if they just left off those last two paragraphs, they'd get a much more giving response — like most people, I don't particularly like getting accused of being an asshole. In any case, I don't have any mailing lists outside of ModCon attendees, all of whom definitely want to be on the list. There are BME-related mailing lists on Yahoo!, but like I said, I couldn't find his name on them. I certainly never sell addresses to anyone. Oh well.
And: Later today there'll be another suspension here. I imagine it will be on the webcam — I figure it'll be late afternoon, but I'll post again when that happens.
