Just for the record -- that's why Brothabill first got kicked off the board, for promoting that rumor, which (let's face it) represented a real risk that some idiot would take it on himself to cause real-life harm. (People, joking about maiming a scammer IS NOT FUNNY.)
Brothabill has turned into quite the troll since then, but from my point of view, the most significant thing in his history here is he has never used any of his many alters to say in public that he was wrong, it was not a harmless "joke," and that he's sorry.
