I'm not taking sides here because it takes a long time to get to know others in "cyberspace".Scott is a very low life scumbag and any of his aliases are usually pretty obvious.Phteven for example.Skunks usually reveal their stripes in a reasonable time.It is inevitable.
PM's to me from Scott's ilk have made themselves obvious rather quickly.
Smokenhot's PM's have not been detrimental to anyone here or to the integrity of the board.
I do not post PM's from anyone nor am I about to start.
If Smokenhot is/was in Scott's camp,it will come out sooner or later but if he is not,then it won't.
I am not convinced of his affiliation(s) with our adversaries as he has not demonstrated such from what I have seen personally and I will not take "hear-say" evidence from anyone about anybody else.I need proof,either from their posts using the wrong identity or posts containing content detrimental to the company,management or the facts /science that we already know.
Until I see those I will treat any poster with cordiality.I expect no less from others.
