While it was not Tim's intention to make Jim look like a criminal, the
use of a defendent's full name is often used to connote criminality.

Lee Harvey Oswald, John Wilkes Booth, John Wayne Gacy, Richard Milhous
Nixon, William Jefferson Clinton... there are many examples.

I propose we call Jim by the name he calls himself: Jim Bell.

Actually, I prefer 'Chief CypherPunks SpokesPerson'.

George Washington Carver, James Fennimore Cooper, Richard Dean Anderson,
Clare Booth Luce, Robert Anton Wilson, Francis Scott Key, .....

Your point was what, Monty?

(Sometimes people have three names, sometimes two names, popularly used.
Criminality has little to do with it. For example, Richard Speck, Charles
Manson, John Walker, Aldrich Ames, Ted Kaczynski, Timothy McVeigh, Terry
Nichols.  Most of them presumably have middle names.)

Oh, and as to divining what Tim's "intention" was, this mindreading and
psychoanalysis shtick is getting old.

We all know what the "C." in "Timmy C. May" stands for...

The current? US New & World Report has a cover story on terrorism, in
which they report on James Dalton Bell.  Pictures, claims that we're
right wing extremists, the whole shebang.  James Dalton Bell does
sound more threatening than Jim Bell.  And as to your list, Tim, many
of the people you quote are either long dead or serious troublemakers.
(Robert Anton Wilson).  It does seem that the full name invocation is
intentional.
