Jesse Harris is a Liar and a thief (Updated)

Below is another accusation from liar and thief blogger Jessie Harris.

What amazes me again is that he has again admitted "remember that I snagged a copy" downloading my email list from a proto website I was trying to get going to better handle my free newsletter distribution.

Additionally other parties downloaded this list and I have their IP addresses and time stamp when this happened.

It was in fact Jessie Harris that posted to the Utah Blogosphere about the list and where to find it.

Jessie’s big revelation that I’m involved with the Voucher War Blogsite is no news at all.

In fact if Jessie had been reading The Political Spyglass like my other subscribers, I indicated that I created the site some time ago to focus on the voucher battle, so the spyglass can continue posting about other events.

There are several Pseudonym authors on the site, just like there are many bloggers here in Utah that use pseudonym names like Utah Conservative, Part of the Plan, Voice of Utah, annonoymous on Utah Amicas, the list goes on and on. I'm sure these people do not what their identies exposed for many reasons.

Mr. Harris has provided a link to another sockpuppet website called "against utah vouchers" that claims they have some evidence to support Jessie’s claim.

Here is the exact quote “A friend of mine far more sopisticated at the technology end of the Internet found that Utahns for Public School (singular) - host of the offensive, deceptive e-mail -redirects to a site called www.thespyglass.us/.”

Well whoever your friend is (probably Harris) is an idiot. No email was sent by http://www.thespyglass.us/ The site is parked and has been inactive for weeks.

Anymore Lies?

Here is what Jessie Harris posted today

Was Mark Towner Behind the Voucher News E-mail?
That depends on who you talk to. It seems that a fair number of Utah bloggers (like Marshall over at Wasatch Watcher) believe it to be so. The Deseret News reported on the deceptive spam e-mail in today's edition. What's suspicious is that the contents of the e-mail linked to a pair of Towner blogs and, for some odd reason, to the Utah Democrats blog. Why the link to a blog that supports vouchers when the purpose of the e-mail is to "tell these pro voucher people what

Utahn’s for Public School really think"? Simple answer: it's a red herring.

But how do we know that Voucher News is linked to Towner? Check out the following screenshot:

That post is by The Political Spyglass, the name of Towner's main blog. (There's also classic Towneresque spelling and grammatical errors in the e-mail message.) Given his long and sordid history of spamming (read more here and here), it doesn't take Dick Tracy to stick two and two together and suspect that Towner used his large e-mail list to boost blog traffic and try and stir the pot a bit. I can't prove it yet…. but you can.

If you have been the recipient of one of these e-mails, please forward the entire message to me (with headers) so I can analyze them and see what correlation there is between his spam list (remember that I snagged a copy?) and the recipients of this message. I've also sent e-mails to the Deseret News and Utahns for Public Schools to let them in on our suspicions. (Hey Mark? I have the screenshot of the site, so no changing the author of the post, m-kay?) I may be pro-voucher, but I feel much more strongly about being anti-spam.

UPDATE: There's no maybe about it. The e-mails are from Mark Towner. Busted!

A Previous Post on the Spyglass
Jesse Harris is a Liar and a thiefAnti 1st amendment jack ass Jesse Harris http://www.coolestfamilyever.com/has shown his true colors. First he calls me a liar saying I did not have anywhere near the 10,000 subscribers I claimed for the Spyglass Newsletter. Now after stealing 5800 edited down email addresses his fist accusation is debunked.

Do I receive and apology, no just more attacks and statements of how he plans on revealing the contents of the stolen email list.

Additionally by posting on his own website how he subscribed to my email list and agreeing to the terms, which included not downloading information without permission, chose to suggest other bloggers to duplicate his unethical if not illegal behavior.

His blog sites and his open support of UTOPIA, and distain of Comcast and Qwest takes a “holier than thou” attitude because I continue to “spam” thousands of email addresses with a link to my free Political Newsletter The Spyglass.

The Spyglass is nothing more than a place for me to post articles that interest me and for others to read what is happening in the world of politics. Additionally it provides me an easy archive of thoughts and stories.

Additionally I sometimes write commentary or comments to get other bloggers feedback on issues or events.What part of the First Amendment does Jesse Harris not understand?

I guess this is what you can expect from a Liar and thief.

1st Amendment killer Jesse Harris Responds

C’mon Mark, I’m not buying it.
Jesse said "After getting caught in his latest spam-fest, Mark Towner is now trying to claim he setup some kind of intentional "trap" to "catch me". (Catch me doing what, exactly, I have yet to figure out.) I'm guessing that in his warped state of mind he somehow thought that if he dropped his entire subscriber list in my lap (and subsequently exposed it to over 5800 other people) that he'd somehow prove his subscriber numbers. All he's proven is that 1) he has a list of 5800 e-mail addresses (a few of which complained about the lastest spamming) and 2) the list doesn't account for the numbers he claimed back in June. In short, he proved nothing except that he still forces people onto his list without permission and is willing to violate the ToS for whatever provider he happens to be on.
Here's where the specious claims continue. He claims that if I ignored the subscription e-mail he sent that I wouldn't have received anything. Last I checked, a "you're subscribed" means just that. He then continues to go further off the deep end by claiming that this list is somehow opt-in. Given that I've already seen at least 3 other complaints about being forced onto the list, I'm skeptical there as well. In fact, the people receiving this stuff at work probably keep on dropping it into the Spam bin. The kicker is that he thinks he can intimidate me (or anyone else logging in with the information he provided) by saying he has our IP addresses. Oh no, some make-believe pirate has my IP address. Whatever will I do?
The real point is that Bluehost will cancel his account for sending spam and he'll have to go shopping for yet another provider. Don't you get it, Mark? As long as you continue to send unsolicited bulk messages and violate the ToS, we'll always have a way to shut you down. The only way to end this is to use opt-in lists only. It's really not that hard and it's certainly the ethical way to go. If you don't clean up your behavior soon, there's going to be nothing but negative about you when someone does a Google search."
