“L.N. Smithee, the guy that came up with Sore/Loserman idea in the first place, posted in this very thread. And it was a slam on Peach.”

This has been debunked countless times. The person(s) who came up with Sore-Loserman even a site registered using that name quite some time before the notion occurred to anyone around here.

The election was held on 7 November 2000. L.N. Smithee came up with Sore/Loserman on 11 November 2000 in the context of Gore/Lieberman refusing to accept the results of the election because they were sore losers. IF a domain was registered before that time, it would have had to be in that 3-day window (we didn't know Gore was attempting his coup until late in the monring on 8 Nov). Otherwise, it was for something different and certainly not in the context and didn't hold the same meaning as the idea that was generated here.

Additionally, this is the first time that I've heard that it was "debunked" - let along "countless times".
