All joking aside, is there any reason I shouldn't trust Tim May
(assuming I don't care about his personal details like sexual
preference, etc.)?

Thanks.

Timmy May is a racist (especially hates Jews) and a proven liar.
Perhaps this doesn't bother you.

The "proven liar" thing doesn't really bother me if I don't know what
he lied about and why.  I mean people say things which are untrue all
the time, but often by mistake or as a joke.  It's always possible for
some people to misinterpret what someone is saying or get really upset
about it when most people just don't think it matters.

The charges of racism and anti-semitism seem a bit more serious.  I've
been subscribed to cypherpunks for a couple of years, and have not
seen any evidence of such an attitude on the list.  I therefore find
the charges difficult to believe.  However, I'm willing to investiate
further if you point me in the right direction, as I'd like to know
about it if Tim May truly is some kind of horrible person.

Thanks.

You must have Timmy May in your killfile then.

You would be well advised not to trust *anyone* unless:

1. They have *your* personal interests at heart (not likely here)

   -or-

2. It is necessary for you to trust them for a particular reason,
   and you feel that you can justify the risk (more likely).

    actually, two [recent] new firsts on this list!

    1.  Dale is polite.

    2.  Dale is reasonable.

    does that mean:

Timmy May is a Jew-hating liar.

Ah, c'mon.  You remember what Cap'n Kirk said to the Melkotians (sp?):
"Sure we're killers, we just aren't gonna kill today" (quote very
approximate, and I hope I got the ethnicity right).
