> I do know that when I confronted Cutts about the penalty here on HN he lied about it - which does lead one to wonder about his motive The preamble to this post hints of paranoia, but this is where we know for sure. There's no reason to believe Cutts would have any personal knowledge or involvement or motivation, except that he knew another person who might have had some weak interest in maybe doing something. Of course, the poster feels that, having drawn this chain of connections, that he must be right and Cutts must be lying. The poster feels entitled now to personally attacking a specific well-known search engineer, one who has been active here in the past. This seems like a conduct violation on here or any reasonable discussion site.
