Jackson, Dahlman revises history once again. The word was coined by his alter-ego to describe those people who complained to administrators about Usenet postings. For months, Dahlman whined that he was "one complaint away" from being kicked off the server blackbox.com, crying that "Netscabs" were trying to censor him by getting him kicked off. Of course, this was all a hoax. He left of his own free will after milking this "poor me" game for all it was worth. But the truly remarkable thing is that no one came to embody this quaint little term more than Dahlman himself. Not only did he whine and complain to other's administrators about their Usenet postings (for reasons as trivial as the "right-wing" content of their messages) but he chose to target those who posted from company or university accounts. While grandstanding as the champion of Internet Privacy, he blackmailed these people with threats to get them in trouble with their bosses or schools, unless they shut up. He came up with one story after another to try and excuse this behavior : he was really just trying to get people who used "free accounts" to move to commercial ISPs so they could pay for their Usenet feed like everyone else, he was trying to protect the name of the company or university from being harmed by their employees and students, he was justified because some people (not those he actually attacked, mind you) did similar things to him, etc.. >who through a >relentlessness campaign of lies and propaganda has taken the term >*pathological liar* to heights never before imagined.
