GORE
* If you don't know why this post is up go here for the History lesson. *
The information here by itself is insignificant. But when you consider the history, you see another picture. I don't care who watches porn, or swears or any of these other things. I do some of them myself. But when you put this information in context, it makes you ask questions.
Every bit of information here is completely factual. Links are provided, see for yourself. The forum may be down pretty quick though.
In the Great Falls Tribune, on Nov 3 2000, Justice of the Peace Sam Harris stated “I feel the public has a right to know what’s going on in the county with our elected officials.”
The canons of judicial ethics state a judge “should avoid infractions of law; his personal behavior, not only upon the bench and in the performance of judicial duties, but also in his everyday life, should be beyond reproach,” and “In every particular his conduct should be above reproach”.
“ What we think is who we are” says Sam, a Judge from Great Falls who regularly plays an online game called GORE.
GORE is what one calls a "first person shooter," or FPS. It is a game where what you see on the screen is what your character in the game would see. That usually includes the business end of a weapon pointing away from you as you wander around the game's environment shooting and blowing up anybody and anything in your path. Further, GORE can be played online. As is common with these games, in order to generate or maintain interest, the game's developers maintain forums or message boards where the players of the game (or anyone else who is interested) can sign up and go online to hold discussions about the game or anything else that strikes their fancy. The folks who brought us GORE have such a forum. This is a public forum. you do not have to log in to read it, only to post on it.
This is a profile of Sam, a Judge from Great Falls. I know that Sam from the GORE forums posted Sam Harris's primary election results this last June.
I know that Sam from the GORE forums said " TBH (to be honest) teh last time I got gay porn off a guy's computer it cost me 2 years of my life and ended with teh guy hanging himself."
I know he said “ I am one of the only players that ALWAYS uses my own name. Whether you like me or not, you know who it is you are playing against. I got nothing to hide.”
But I do not know that this is the same man that said “The extent of his addiction is shocking” when defending his public exposure of Mike Smartt viewing pornographic images on a county owned computer. Harris stated in his complaint that as a result of viewing gay porn on Smartt’s computer he had trouble concentrating at work, and got upset each time he saw Smartt. “My stomach has been upset and I’m having trouble sleeping”
Sounds like a pretty sensitive guy, nothing like online Sam, who doesn’t mind talking about porn and who, in his own words, has pretty thick skin.
October 6, 2004, Sam learns his friend, Doghouse, had knee surgery: "Take care, Dog. Use you recovery time to play video games and watch porn."
“You gotta do a lot better than putz to hurt my feelings -- I get called dirty names all day Pretty thick skin, tbh. Actually, now that I think about it, I'm a little hurt that you called me a putz. I knew I was an asshole, was unclear about my putzery.”
And online Sam has this to say about how much he time he spends playing GORE.
“lol at anyone saying I don't play much. 1 to 6 hours a day for YEARS.”
But that wouldn’t be considered an addiction, would it? Perhaps more of a religious experience?
October 29, 2003, "I have gotten 2 years and approximately 1.4 million hours of gameplay out of Gore for a cost of $17. It is teh best game ever created. I will buy anything 4D puts in a box just because of that. Joel can make my money for giving me this game. If Gore II comes out, well, that is like teh 2nd coming of Jesus. It is very good." And that was in ‘03, so now it is 5 years.
Speaking of religion, online Sam says
"I say "fairly" hot because teh bible says some BS about not coveting thy neighbors wife. Since Dog is in my clan, I gotta think he doesn't really want me doing alot of coveting, you know?" November 13, 2003
Sam on the game feels that he can discuss just about anything.
In a thread about how long you should know some one before getting married he states:
“well, I think teh 15 minutes it takes to get teh license and $50 to $100 for Sam is long enuf for someone to get to know someone else well enuf to marry. Of course, I get paid to do teh weddings for such fools. If they are not paying me, then I think it takes longer.”
But a real Judge would never say something like this - would he? Not over a car being vandalized! September 19, 2006, "Put him in a coulee, imo. (in my opinion)" The next day, September 20, 2006, Sam expands on his suggestion: "A coulee is a small valley or ravine. He should be dead before u put him there, or else he may crawl away, thereby causing u troubles. Also, you should place some big rocks on him so coyotes do not drag his bones around for hunters to find (also causing u troubles)."
Online Sam cares about his online friends.
”The reaso for the drop-off in CTF players teh last couple of days is that I am out of town and no one likes to play without Sam.I know it hurts teh game, that is why I don't leave often.”
And he has good self esteem.”I read your reply to my post and realized I may be a little off base. I took your advice and took a good look in the mirror. I looked and looked, then I thought "Damn, I'm good lookin' and I really go da skillz, and that Leo is still fulla sh*t and screwing up his kids letting them play violent games in a nasty atmosphere online."lol and piss off again. :p”
Violent games in a nasty atmosphere? And he doesn’t leave often because it hurts the game?
This is from a newspaper article regarding Harris sexual harassment complaint.
“Throughout the next few days, Harris returned to Smartt’s chambers and monitored any new internet activity. At some point during this time, Harris took digital photographs of the temporary internet files on Smartt’s computer that recorded website access beginning in August 2000”.
This is a statement from online Sam
“I think you would find that Montana is one of teh strongest states in teh union for personal rights. Our right to privacy is far stronger than your federal rights. However, we don't tolerate BS that serves no other purpose than sticking it to someone else.”
Hmm. Right to privacy? I wonder how online Sam would feel about Sam Harris’ actions?
Well, here is a tidbit from just the other day. I find myself agreeing with several of the points he makes. He is talking about Clinton.
9-26-2006 “I want honor in my president. I don't mind if the bus driver is getting a blow job under the table, but I don't want that out of my president. And I damn sure don't want a president that lies about it. When I screw up, I admit it. I put it in black and white in plain english. Period. I would never disrespect my own office by lying. And I cannot respect any official, especially the highest official, that lies.”
He comes back later to clarify.

"Sam says character counts.The leader that will lie to the one he loves most, betray the one he loves most, and cheat the one he loves most, clearly puts his own short-term gratification above the well-being of the one he loves the most. As a leader, I expect him to put the citizens' needs above his own. A man who would betray his wife in this fashion, certainly will not put my needs above his. He will act for my good when it happens to be consistent with what is necessary for his good. When those two diverge, he will choose his own good over mine. A public servant must choose the public good over his personal needs. I believe that the president's sex life is my business for that reason.
It reflects on his character. Also, he did not just lie. He lied under oath. He violated his ethics as an attorney.
This is UNACCEPTABLE in Samworld. This is not an ordinary lie."
Yep, character counts. I’ll agree with that.
