He is a fulltime debunker of Holocaust deniers, antisemites, neo-Nazis, etc. He maintains a massive Web site archiving that sort of material (http://www.nizkor.org/) and regularly posts on news groups to counter hate material. Lately, a few of the hate-mongers he debunks have been cross-posting slanderous material about McVay on a number of news groups. You have encountered one of them. McVay is also a Usenet/Internet libertarian, who argues there's no need to censor and that it's adequate simply to post accurate information to counter hate posts. The hate-mongers in question seized on a quote from him reported in the news media a few years ago to the effect that he didn't think most of what he had seen on the Web was child pornography. I've seen many of their posts here on British Columbia, Canada, news groups, where they often appear because McVay is from here. Anyhow, these posts have gradually evolved from accusing McVay of supporting child pornography to saying he's a child molester. None of it is true. Rest assured that while these guys might be slandering Texas, it is far from alone. Regards, bill
