The plot thickens!

He's really very tall, isn't he?

Ugh, guy has some serious boundary issues with women, doesn't he?

Reading his OKC profile I kept thinking "this guy is creepy but TBH exactly like half the dudes I've dated" which erm isn't a glowing reference considering the genuine headcases I've attracted.

But those emails especially the last one just really reminds me of the "issues" film director whose seriously strange email I posted earlier this year.

I really should stop following this case for the good of my mental health but I have such a can't look/can't look away thing with this man.

really do not get why people find him interesting, lol

He's interesting to me in the same way that when you turn over a rock and see those terrible squirming white creepy crawly things beneath and you just want to poke them with a stick.

But mostly it's this kind of revulsion-attraction like, he is quite physically attractive and obviously reasonably bright, but there's something deeply just... *off* about him when he speaks. It's not just your standard insufferable nerd who thinks he's Jesus coz he can code. There's this sense that one could actually quite easily hook up with someone like this without even realising it but there's something really ... dunno. Like he sets off my alarm bells, but there's the Wilde-ian "dining with panthers" thing perhaps.

Except he probably isn't even a cunning dangerous psycho, he's probably just a nerd with poor social skills who would like to be thought of as a panther, like he'd find that flattering.

Like I said, my interest in the case isn't healthy.

i'm not even sure he can code, tbh!

I see entitled homeschooler genius with whacky but pretty mom.

Of course he can code! He can do fancy MATHS! And cryptography based on yr number plate! That means yr uterus is totatally, like, HIS!

To impregnate with satanspawn!

Because OMG you guys I have totally worked out where I have seen hi
before!

stoked for the indignation

Also a touch of the Warhols, Kate - but well spotted.

ha i didn't think that had not been noticed! same name and everything

Assange is quite handsome but he's one of those guys who, when you look at him you imagine that he might be one of those obsessively, pathologically jealous dudes.

some ppl like that sort of thing

i think he was posted to ws of shame

one of those guys who when you look at him you just start projecting

Kelsey Grammer looks like a motherfucker with some dark secrets

one of those guys who when you look at him you just start projecting

Well played, Curtis.

I dunno, these are not impressions I get from looking at him. They're impressions I get from his ridiculous OKC profile, his overblown writing & those creepy emails. But I'm prepared to admit that's projection, based on the known nutjobs he reminds me of.

is assange a 'rapey looking bro'

what's his OKC handle?

"fleeing the fearsome machine of Swedish justice"

I've had email correspondence in the distant past very much like that alleged set of JA emails. A belgian guy I met when I first got online was really similar - lots of "I AM A NIHILIST" rambling. Really spergy, basically.

Manning offered plea bargain if he names Assange as co-conspirator

http://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/freed-on-bail-ndash-but-us-steps-up-efforts-to-charge-assange-with-conspiracy-2162639.html

and now he's just ignoring you, aspie or what

joeks, stanm is an a+ dude

huh? Who did I ignore?

Maybe there should be one thread about Wikileaks and another for weird speculation about Julian Assange.

Maybe Wikileaks needs its own board.

don't want paypal shutting down the next funding drive.

stanm -- i was making a ref to trayce's belgian emailer ;_;

oh, ok, lol!

http://www.guardian.co.uk/media/2010/dec/18/julian-assange-allegations-wikileaks-cables

interesting. wonder if the guardian will continue to be favoured by WL. didn't read the article by the women.

You should, it's the most complete and objective overview of both sides' claims.

srsly u gotta hope polanski lives long enough to make a film of this

s0 s0 'fucked up'

haven't read this but posting anyway

If you had written this more concisely, less subjectively, been a bit less in denial of yourself, perhaps a bit more open-minded, left out the speculation on any specific (scurrilous allegations), it might have been something worthwhile.

As it is, it seems like nothing more than a bid to win approval and a pat on the head from some women you won’t get to have sex with. Looks like you throw men’s rights under the bus because you’re socially conditioned to be a wuss.

That’s the thing though – it’s a really bad anti-rape argument for anyone to use to get laid. It’s an argument by a man mostly to men about the way we’re taught to understand the world.

Also, fuck you, troll.

wish we could go back to the 18th century

So, about this cable that suggested Michael Moore's film Sicko was banned in Cuba. So the cable said.

So the Graun just reported that right?

...except it wasn't true, which (as Moore pointed out) the G could have worked out with five minutes of research and not just swallowed the cable's contents and spewed them back out.

Graun article: http://bit.ly/gkiGec

Michael Moore's blog: http://bit.ly/i5wfdF

its worth noting the paper did do a correction later... but still. This brings up questions of media regurgitating info without research, not to mention the fact a lot of the cables are full of porkies (theyre diplomats! Of course they'll make things up to keep thier betters happy).

Ah crap, that first URL is now broken. Darn.

LOL its broken because the Guardian have deleted the entire article, WTF.
