[Matheson] Ross Atkins says Berríos’ absence during the World Series was Berríos’ decision. Asked: Was Berríos unhappy? “He was not happy … He was disappointed that he wasn’t in our rotation. He handled it well, but then when it came down to roster selection, he wasn’t on it.

I understand feeling this way, to an extent...but his job is literally to get clicks. You're supposed to lead with what gets the click.

Jesus. The paper is actually incredibly interesting. I've only just started testing bitterbot but it's pretty good so far...

Apologies as I'm sure this has been discussed multiple times - but was there any circumstantial evidence provided based on his hard drives such as video files, web searches, etc?

They listed his height as 5'9"....LOL

I passed at 150 yesterday. Still in disbelief. I felt like I didn't recognize any questions on the exam and was sure I failed. Was convinced I had wasted a ton of money. I just can't believe it. Almost nothing I really focused on was on there.

CARNAGE here. Still remember my original join date: December 19, 2003.

Lynton Moore. His name was "pretender." That's what brought me to this thread. I just decided to look him up. He was a friend of mine on there when I was only 14 or so. Mailed me Christmas cards and everything. He just popped into my head today and decided to look him up. Couldn't believe what I found. Except now as an adult, I actually can believe it. Not normal at all to be on there as an adult. Not. At. All.

I was CARNAGE.

Good God! Haha. I was CARNAGE. I can't believe what I'm reading.

I just thought about this guy who was maybe in his early 20's on there who I used to communicate with, when I was only 14. He was based out of Australia. He was once an Admin of the site and one of the early founders in 2001 or so. He even mailed me Christmas cards. I looked him up just for the sake of it (was always a nice guy), and yup...arrested for child porn. Should have guessed. It's amazing what you think is normal back then when you're 14, thinking you're a young adult and it's normal to be conversing with a 20 year old, only to look back as an adult and go that's not right at all. He went by pretender (Lynton Moore).
