Hi,
I think somebody hacked Harry's pass and is doing some mass on the forum... I doubt he become just completely insane.

I think that's a very sad respone to my offer to help you with some capacitors.

Anyway, if you dislike homosexual women so much, then I must turn my back on you and your kind,

Good Luck to you Mister Whatever - You are not alone among the small-minded.

I agree.. this post (directly above mine here) does not seem too odd, but those other three are out there. They don't seem to have any context either.
Here are the relevant threads.

Perhaps someone can contact Harry directly via phone or email.

I highly doubt that he would sign a message as those were signed.
One the one even seems like a spam; offering money for this or that.

Maybe ArcStarter can chime in and ask Harry some question (via pm) that only the real Harry would know and then report back to us.

I've seen plenty stranger things on the internet and wouldn't be at all surprised (or offended) if this coming out were for real

Harry/Stella, what are the part numbers of those germanium transistors you sent me?

I can verify that Harry's account has not been hacked, nor is he joking. I am attempting to ascertain just why he is so upset. I have to assume that something has happened of which we are not aware, that has caused him to feel unwelcome at 4hv.org. I'm going to hold off on cleaning up or moving any threads until I find out exactly what is going on.

A show of support would be a nice way to let Harry and everyone else know that 4hv.org is open to everyone, regardless of gender or orientation. Please post below to indicate your support for an open, tolerant 4hv.org.

I have yet to have seen any harassment on this forum regarding sexual orientation and all of the "weird" posts Harry has made recently is out of the world for a site admin.

I would without hesitation clean up this mess if I could, it damages the forum more with it up than deleting it on suspicion.

Its not in the spirit or context of this forum, everybody is welcome, so no reason for public outburst!

the "my-post-did-seem-very-biased" edit: This is no personal attack, I have friends of all genders and orientations, no hate from me, but this kind of behaviour is of no value to anyone.

It's possible; either on the forum or through another messaging service completely. In the first case, I don't peruse the forum PMs without a specific complaint about a specific message, so that private messages remain, well, private. If I receive a complaint along those lines, I will certainly investigate -- harassing or threatening private messages are taken quite seriously. In the second case, it's for the most part out of our hands, except to ensure that it is known that such a message does not speak for all of us.

I think the post revealing that he lives with a person of particular orientation offended someone, and that unkind words may have been exchanged via PM or otherwise (

). Considering that Harry has done so much for 4HV, I think people should support him. If Chris is saying that it isn't someone else posing as him, then I'll take his word for it.

Whatever the issue Harry, keep in mind that most of us aren't against diversity, and that the actions of a few can ruin the experience for many.

At the same time, calmer heads should prevail when something like this happens... people should probably refrain from prying too much, and maybe just give words of support for Harry.

Someone else's sexual orientation is none of my business, I don't really care anyway.

I am only intolerant of the rich and powerful, regardless of their sexual orientation, using their privilege to exploit the innocent and helpless.

Harry has been chatty lately, but he has posted some interesting threads. I've seen no posted responses to him that could even be code for intolerance. I hope he reconsiders and returns to the forum.
