Interesting how an anonymous coward suddenly started forging posts from
me, isn't it? Gives a LOT more credence to this:

Ken's attacks on alt.atheism

In addition to his bullying and harassmentof women, Ken Pangborn seems to
have a serious grudge against various members of the atheism newsgroup.
For several years, the members of the newsgroup have found themselves the
victims of racist forgeries in their names, crossposted to several
newsgroups on the net. The forgeries typically have common
characteristics:

   1. Crossposted to several different newsgroups, but almost always
   including alt.atheism and alt.dads-rights.unmoderated. 2. The forgeries
   often occur shortly after the victim publicly disagrees with Ken. 3.
   Ken almost always appears immediately after the forgeries, denying
   blame and attempting to blame others.

Although he has denied the forgeries for years, Ken recently outted
himself as the forger in the following two posts:

<TNK938ME38419.5208101852@reece.net.au> (posted on the evening of March 7,
2005 through an anonymous remailer, a forgery attributed to Mark K. Bilbo)

<tjhXd.77945$Dc.44771@trnddc06> (posted the following morning, eight hours
later, from Ken's own internet account at Verizon)

Both posts consist of the following text, complete with Ken's unique
writing style and trademark grammatical and spelling errors:

    And yopu misspelled DASVID MOORE the REAL author of that forgery.
    CHrist but Moroe has found a treasure trove of IDIOTS in AA. You
    people can always be counted on to dance.

Only the final paragraph/sentence differs between the posts. Now, if the
anonymous post had come after Ken's own post, one could argue that a
forger merely copied his text to make him appear guilty. However, in this
case, he made the very same post AFTER forging through the remailer. One
can therefore conclude that he made both posts.

Ken has, of course, denied everything. First, he admitted that the Verizon
post was his, but claimed that the forgery came after. However, when it
was pointed out that the message headers disprove this, he changed his
story and now claims that the Verizon post was forged.
