[Imc-web] Several Comments Hidden

[Mike Lehman]

As I rather suspected when I said "several" comments were hidden, 
instead of "two," I have had to hide several more commenst from Anna. 
You know where to look -- I'll spare the direct links, since there may 
still be more.

casablanca also left an email address when he was goading Anna E. in 
several comments he posted this afternoon. Note that this is yet more 
correlation that casablanca is Jack, since Jack has repeatedly done 
exactly the same thing in the past. In case anybody can come up with 
something from sleuthing the address, here it is:
alikarimbey at yahoo.com

Also, Ricky Baldwin took the email that Jack sent as casablanca to the 
Staff list as a serious inquiry, didn't realize that Jack had cced it to 
us, and sent a reply to Jack that included the Staff list. I clarified 
the situation to him with the following reply on the Staff list (I 
forget to cc it here, so a copy is below):
Hi Ricky,
I wouldn't waste much time on the article, except for amusement. It's a 
piece of scurillous red-baiting trash. You have to register to read it 
on the TNR site, but Google Beinart if you want to read it instead of 
giving that piece of trash journal your name.

The origin of the original email is whoever was Jack Ryan, using TNR's 
site to send it. He has assumed a new guise as a Cold war liberal, but 
his clumsiness in doing so has already given the new mask away. He sent 
this to the IMC-Staff list after I hid and/or deleted a bunch of similar 
posts challenging you to read this article. His obsession with trashing 
you is only one of more than a dozen "coincidences" between Jack Ryan's 
obsessions and those of "casablanca" his not-so-funny Spanish-punning 
new nick.
