Email from a friend who used to work at BBN:
It may be hard to imagine anyone worse than Elizabeth Warren, but her opponent is, Shiva Ayyadurai.
Shiva has for years been claiming that he invented email. IT was Ray Tomlinson at BBN, years earlier. Shiva will do nothing to back off that claim. Some of the xBBNers tried, even in court. There was much discussion of him when he started his campaign, and all of the xBBNers were warned to not even try to get the truth out, because of his personal viciousness and vindictiveness experienced by some xBBNers.
Shiva said that he invented email and has frequently claimed that because of his dark skin, never got proper recognition or credit.
He is a slick liar, who is starting to fool a lot of voters.
Take a look at this interview with Howie Carr, where he is confronted with his domestic violence arrest:

Also take look at the email controversy part of Shiva’s Wikipedia
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shiva_Ayyadurai
The publications that he conned into believing him the inventor of email published retractions, but Shiva is still making that claim.
Don't vote for him.
I think any popularity Liawatha has in Mass is simply that she is a fighter and Mass Democrats love to root for the home team. The Red Sox and Patriots are a religion in the Bay State. And the Yankees and Jets are equal to ISIS.
I was born and raised in Mass and now living in Georgia, but most of my relatives are still there.
Which is why I love taunting my Lib brothers by email saying, “You know, Tom Brady is a really smart guy!”
If you’ll recall, Ted Kennedy was known as a fighter, so Liawatha is following the Teddy.
After a while, it didn’t matter what Kennedy stood for. He represented Massachusetts pride.
During one election cycle, as I recall, he was up against a tough fight (against Romney, I think).
But then Kennedy got up and said with his booming voice: “I’m not gonna forget you, Massachusetts!”
That’s all he needed to say... he won.
Seems to me, some publisher just lost $750,000 in a libel suit against Shiva.
You don’t win $750,000 in a settlement if your claim is squishy.
Based on what I’ve read on the Internet (various sources) I’m familiar with Shiva Ayyadurai. He comes across as a bit of a nut.
But he’s still better than Elizabeth Warren. Much better. Fill in the blank: _________ would be better than Elizabeth Warren.
Almost anything you put in there would be true. Shiva Ayyadurai, some bum on the street, an old chair.
Yes there is a GOP candidate running, it’s Geoff Diehl. That’s who I will vote.
This isn’t news. No link. Vanities belong in chat.
You’re welcome
RE: “Thanks for the links”
good grief; Ayyadurai is a toxic lying P.o.S. arsehole!

I didn't say that nobody would ever oppose her.I just said that anyone who does will fail.
Retired computer languages professional; chair of SIGPLAN, chair of multiple conferences and editor of multiple newsletters; author of multiple books; 18th century poetry researcher; activist to prove Clement Moore stole Night Before Christmas from Henry Livingston; creator of over 600 music videos; passionate Trekkie; Republican since the age of 5.
My uncle did consulting work for BBN 30yrs ago. Pinging for later.
mairdie was the name my 2 1/2 year old niece could pronounce, and I keep it for love of her. I assumed it was news because I’d read about it on multiple threads. Apologies if I was wrong.
I’m impressed... Why don’t you tell the world...?
Free Republic doesn’t need it. Most people here are expert in their fields, or in political analysis. I’m here to be educated.
If Liawatha could say she is an Indian, no reason the India cannot say he invented the Internet.

I didn’t tell anyone about the People Magazine article the week it was on the stands.
Yet you post some random Email and call it "News".
Really.
And now I’m educated. Thank you.
You’re welcome.
Attention all Massachusetts FReepers: DO NOT VOTE FOR SHIVA!!
I actually liked him for a bit, and was interested (I grew up in MA, and follow the politics there).
And then he eff ‘d with Howie Carr.
YOU DO NOT EFF WITH HOWIE CARR !!!!
Shiva made a complete horse’s @ss of himself on Howie’s show yesterday and the fallout is likely to knock him out before he even gets going.
Problem is the “next in line” “front runner”, Geoff Diehl, is a complete “baby” (as Trump might call him). He’s one of those “nice guys” and I do not think he has the stones to take on Warren. She is a viper and will wipe him out unless he starts getting mean. I just don’t see that happening. Big maybe...
Ironically enough, I did think this of Shiva, as he came across as someone who was willing to go gutter with Lieawatha, which is how I think this race will be won, but apparently he doesn’t know how NOT to sh*t where he eats, which is very, very amateurish on his part.
So screw him.
