Is this the end for g1l1g4n th3 b4rb4r14n?
Excerpts from an email received from Steven Swope, early 1998:
You're got fucking Problem or what?
mIRC is friendly chat that all I don't plan have war with you,
If you continue doing it again stopping you I will trade you don't
matter
what
If you don't dare, my mate are lawsuit he is good friend of mine!
Catch ya later,
Send me something Nice, Long Live BMX!
After these threats were received by email, the PFT was very disturbed and determined to do whatever was necessary to meet this disturbed individuals demands.
However, this proved to be just the beginning of the threats that were to come from Steve. The following are excerpts from logs of #linuxos:

<Swope> bye
^y^m^y Swope [~Jay.swaff@dialup0005.freedom2surf.net] has left #linuxos []
Later on in the day, he returned, even more angry than before:
<sven> Welcome back swope.
<Swope> hi

<Swope> no
<Swope> bye bye
We will keep you updated on this situation.
