I didn't think that the "pest war" would last as long as it did.

The guy was different and had some ideas that were hurtful, but he was harmless and didn't deserve 90% of the cr@p he got. I guess there will always be alot of tough guys on the internet as long as they have a computer screen to hide behind.

Yeah, but he brought it on himself by cross-posting his pest list to all sorts of different Usenet forums. He singlehandedly destroyed ne.weather even before the majority of the "pests" arrived.

So was it a suicide? If so, it's a relief that nobody else got hurt. Bartlo seemed like the type of person who could just snap and randomly open fire on like a college campus or something. I mean he was in his 40s, living with his mom, never married, no children, and his only job was forecasting weather for some lawn care company in Michigan.

Someone on ne.weather mentioned that he'd written them about a kidney problem he was having awhile back. Maybe it was related to that.

No, but I remember Jack and his clashes with DT and, of course, Bartlo. That's what initially started the pest wars. Bartlo took the troll bait, hook, line, and sinker. DT, with his fiery personality, was an easy target, too. But he eventually wisened up and fled to WWBB.

Sure do, those were classic.

The Bartlo stuff was just plain strange, from the "Mommy Bartlo" stuff to the constant trolling. It was pretty sick stuff.

I am sorry to hear he died.

Damn, I thought this was a hoax.

We actually emailed back and forth a few times after he called me "nigger".
