- .@jjarichardson I utterly condemn weev's neo-nazi politics. I still think his was an unjust trial, and I still oppose the CFAA.

— Jacob Richardson (@jjarichardson)Sun, Oct 05 2014 22:12:28 - @jjarichardson understood. I'm not the only one who made that mistake, and I regret it- I simply didn't realise how bad he was.

— Jacob Richardson (@jjarichardson)Sun, Oct 05 2014 21:58:49 - @jjarichardson @PennyRed I'm sorry. I took things as trolling that were obviously sincere belief.

— Molly Crabapple (@mollycrabapple)Sun, Oct 05 2014 22:53:47 - .@mollycrabapple @PennyRed I wouldn't demand otherwise, but you did heap praise on the guy after he's said some quite appalling things.

— Molly Crabapple (@mollycrabapple)Sun, Oct 05 2014 23:07:23 - @jjarichardson @PennyRed Laurie however never met and does not know weev, as he has said. Seems unfair for her to be targeted
