Still not completely buying it. You can always choose to ignore him. Or if it is as bad as you say, get him a perma-ban. But evidently you chose a poor path (lying for months on end). If he took the bait so quickly as you claim you couldn've/should've called him out much sooner and ended the lie.
I bet the truth lies someone in between both of your's and ge's description; however, since you admitted to lying I've got to give him more benefit of the doubt over your description. Seriously if it was Hal9000 saying something I'd have to give it more weight as he's pretty consistent. But you'll go anywhere to prove a point which isn't even related to the topic just so you can avoid being proven wrong. Your credibility with me and probably many on this board is next to zero.
We've tried. It's hard when he injects lies into a Linux conversation, possibly misleading lurkers who don't know the facts. Just putting down his lies is becoming a full time job.
Did you like the Lyons article, where I specifically, concretely listed the "inaccuracies and misrepresentations" in that smear campaign of an article? GE of course rushed to defend him. When caught, he reverted to personal attack as usual. GE lives on smear campaigns against Linux at everybody's expense. The sad thing is, in my defense of Linux, I don't really personally prefer Linux for most situations (which is where I wildly differ from many Linux proponents here).
Did you know we have a GE scorecard? One of the FReepers keeps it. It contains the about seven standards rants you'll see in any GE thread hijacking, and it's usually posted (mostly filled) when GE shows up.

Admin's choice, not mine. Given the temp ban, they know he's here and what he's doing. Besides, lies are best countered with fact, not by censoring them.

Probably, but baiting him whenever he came in to hijack a thread was too fun, the payoff building each time. I guess one thing that kept it going for so long is that I would never get a reasoned response to it, just the usual paranoid rant. Any attempt at rational discussion by GE would have taken all the fun out of it, so I surely would have ended it sooner had he been capable of such.

Therein lies a problem -- I admitted. See what you get for doing the right thing? GE doesn't admit, and I've given you the examples showing he prefers instead to engage in libel, ad hominem and misdirection when faced with facts in opposition to his claims.
You seem to credit him for not coming clean. Quite biased and unfair IMHO.
I've provided the links, while all he has done is repeatedly lie. And you should know by now it's not going to stop.
