He should apologise (please note correct British spelling: you may want to set your spellchecker to a British English, and not US English, dictionary) for making the original Lou Knee post. Instead, he not only failed to apologise, but he tried every dirty trick in the book to try to squirm out of admitting it and deceive people without actually lying.

It's one of the best examples of what a sociopath he is (as Ian Smith says). There is simply *no-one* else here, on either "side", who would have "handled" being caught out posting as Lou Knee in anything like the slippery, sneaky way that he has. Not The Medway Handyman, not Judith, not Simon Mason, not Ian Jackson, not Alan Braggins, hell, not even Spindrift or Taylor. No-one else who I've *ever* encountered, here or elsewhere, has it in them to be such a reprehensible, self-serving shitbag about absolutely anything if it means getting out of admitting fault. It's quite something to behold...again as Ian Smith said, I think there's something wrong with him. It's pathological and he'll go to more-or-less any length necessary.

No-one else, however much of a dick they may be (and I'm certainly not saying that all of the aforementioned are dicks at all), is anywhere near as determined to use *any* dirty tactic they *possibly* can to get out of ever admitting any kind of culpability for anything, ever. He does it pretty much all the time in minor, low-level ways, but the Lou Knee saga (though quite trivial in itself) is probably the incident which sums up just how distasteful, loathsome and devoid of any kind of trustworthiness, honour or decency his unique brand of deceit is, and just why he is so despised by so many people, both on and off URC (it apparently extends to the workplace as well, which certainly doesn't surprise me...you need to be able to trust your colleagues, and know that they won't screw you over just to make themselves look good, and I shudder to think just how much he does exactly that, day in, day out).

He really doesn't seem to have a conscience; I think he literally has no sense of guilt. If he's going to wrong someone or lie to them then I believe the only thing he cares about is getting caught, being made to look bad and/or in some way losing out because of it; if he can successfully avoid those things then as far as he's concerned, it's the perfect "crime" and he is not just unwilling but I think actually
 * incapable* of feeling bad about it.

I pity his wife, and most of all his sons.
