A Picture Worth More Than 1,000 Mark Towner Words? (UPDATED)

(click image to enlarge)

Interested to see where this Utahns for Public School (No "S") spam email ends. Nothing but respect for Jesse of CoolestFamilyEver, who has put his own personal politics on the issue of school vouchers aside to ensure the debate remains mature, and more importantly, honest.

More info here, here, and here.

UPDATE:
Suspicions confirmed.

We know that Towner is the owner of the utahnsforpublicschool.com domain since it has a directory on it named thepsyglass. If we look at the registration info, it was registered on September 4. It's also registered with the same host as spyglass.us, the domain Towner used on his last round of spam. The registration was less than two weeks prior to the PCE filing that shows a payment to SG Consulting (excellent job Mata Hari), a company whose address is the same as Towner's home address (good work Bob). We have two solid links: Towner got a fat sack of cash for providing "web services" to PCE and Towner was later behind the faked "Voucher News" e-mail that made the Deseret Morning News on Thursday. (Hey newspaper? A bunch of bloggers just scooped you. How do you like them apples?)
Towners out of character silence about this raises more than eyebrows.

Damnit!! I'm an asshole all day FOR FREE! How do I find a way to get paid for it?

Nobody wanted to listen to me but this Mark guy (aka Jason Bourne) needs to get a serious clue all the way around.

I think what bothers me more is not only is JM Bell being an asshole FOR FREE but he is actually good at being an asshole. Mark Towner gets paid and he sucks at it, talk about wingnut welfare.

The scary thing is Mark is actually in IT for a living yet he can't figure out how to hide his own tracks. This isn't complicated stuff but I guess when he claims to have a doctorate from whatsamatta u what can we expect.

But I guess on the bright side at least Mark is doing more harm to PCE and the voucher movement than good. If PCE and the out of state voucher supporters want to waste more of their money please send them to JM Bell or me. I at least will gladly take their money and donate to it to my NEA overlords that send me my orders every morning (that is a satire if you can't tell).

Sting operation, huh?

Like this one?

Jason,

Would you have felt better if I was killed?

What a terrible thing to post.

I joke around a lot about internet stuff, but this was no joking matter. I could have easily been killed had a fire started.

I feel terrible for you if you dislike someone who posts on a blog that you don't agree with that you would like to see them die.

Settle Down, Mark, my comments say nothing of the kind. There is quite a difference between laughing at ineptitude, and wishing someone harm.

I wish you no physical harm, nor would I find humor in that. I do, however, find your ethics questionable, and your presence in politics damaging to progress in my state. So perhaps I wish you political harm, an end to what you detract from honest debate in Utah, and a long happy life in the private sector.

Make of that what you will.

Would you care to elaborate?

Not much to elaborate on, but for the sake of keeping the debate honest (something you seem to find a great challenge in your own posting), my comment about your "crash" was in a thread on a post where you had professed a "sting operation" to cover your own actions in the voucher debate.

The very comment you object to says nothing about wishing you harm (as you so desperately would like to assert) but rather that your attempt to paint yourself a "brilliant tactician" launching a clandestine "sting operation" may be more accurate surmised as a blustery attempt to cover up a very poor decision on your part.

Picture someone crashing a plane, and calling it a "sting operation" and you'll better understand my words.
