Speaking as a non-mod, I'm pretty sure that's correct. I'm not in the mood to dig through IP logs to confirm it though.

Somebody on here said it was.

I'm pretty sure they aren't the same person - I've asked Hamas point blank before and he said no. I think it's just the Kirksville thing that puts that idea in people's heads.

I don't see any major similarities between matrix and hamas. anything is possible, I guess.

Matrix sounds like a dumbass. Hamas is a ****ing crazy bastard, but he's definitely not dumb.

I don't either...
But if anyone read how I posted 3 years ago at another board I was on, they'd never think it was the same person.

if ever you decide to investigate, be sure to tell the rest of us. we're curious.

Here's an IP lookup report for John Matrix. I'll let everyone draw their own conclusions.

Maybe they just live in the same neighborhood, or something.

Heh. I'll be damned.

suicide/Matrix

hmmmmm... a bit of research gleaned the following info--

matrix (according to his CP profile): grad student, lives(ed) in kirksville, referred by a friend, last activity was 3/7/2006 (was banned). had 0.34 posts/day

hamas (according to his CP profile): teacher, lives in kirksville (per other user), referred by google, joined on 1/25/2006. has 21.79 posts/day

conclusion: inconclusive. IPs apparently the same, hamas' join date is BEFORE matrix's last activity, but that doesn't mean a whole lot, as he may have seen a ban in his future. their posting styles are similar, but not overly so. it's possible that his posting style evolved, as most of our styles evolve.

although it's a BIT suspicious that hamas hasn't posted in this thread to clear the air. anybody met hamas at one of the CP functions? does he look like the pictures of john matrix?

Did Hamas Jenkins have a different username prior to the current moniker?

I've made pointed barbs about a bag of dogshit to Hamas and never got a reaction. I think they are the same guy.
