I'm only concerned with the potential damage Tom might do, so I'm posting this one time.

Tom will not post anything that will wreck his hard drive on his computer. He has to view the tainted pages he has uploaded to the forum's server. But, when he eventually arrives at destroying personal computers or this server, he will have done his ultimate evil deed. The only way to stop Tom is to stop Tom.

It may mean playing Tom's wicked little game on himself. The ideal situation may never present itself, until Tom slips up and allows access to his IP address--don't hold your breath. The next option may mean playing with fire and highly risky to innocent bystanders. If, somehow, Tom could be lured into clicking on a thread exclusively for him and only him, there could be a chance of bringing him down. That's if, the thread links to a virus or script that will disable his computer from further internet access. The problems to this scenario I'll list:

1. finding such a website or virus to download on Tom's computer.
2. overriding Tom's slippery savyy before he realizes what is happening to his computer.
3. justifying such actions against Tom.

4. beating Tom to the punch, if he has already contemplated doing the same to each person who posts here or in the Catholic Forum.

The other option is to keep this forum password protected--remain hostage to Tom.

I shall not post anymore. I'm taking Kevin's words to mind and heart, but Tom is still kicking around here and there.

rod,

I found a way to delete his scripts without deleting the posts. I have his IP address, but I am afraid it will be useless. He uses a program that's masks his real IP address.

Doing a reverse DNS now: 216.209.87.197 maps to ... 216.209.87.197 (note: if you just get the number again, that means the hostname could not be found.)

If Tom is not Jeanie and her husband, perhaps her husband knows how to bring Tom down? It would mean playing games with the devil, not a good idea and I don't think they would help, but you never know. There is a solution to all problems. It is a matter of time before they present themselves with great righteousness. ....................

No, Jeanie and Tom have no relation. Tom/Fred and maybe "Ty" do.

I emailed you about Ty, just now.

if Tom has a firewall and virus protection, how ould he be affected by stuff laid here as a trap?

anyways, whilst i hink that the morality of this probably justifies such as action, i would (in complete ignorance) wonder about the legality of it.

Isn't there a way to report him and have him dealt with legally through Greenspun or something? What he is doing must be illegal.
