Hecht's SCUPS was declared a degree mill in Thailand. Illegal in
Thailand, for pete's sake, where just about anything goes. Tailpipe Chip could get elected president of the chamber of commerce in Thailand. You really gotta be a scumbag to be declared illegal in Thailand.
But that's not why Klempner is in grudge mode on Hecht. Hecht copied portions of Klempner's Guide, changing the words to make it sound like Klempner endorsed Hecht's shady operation. And worst of all, he didn't pay Klempner for using it!
If you are trying to find a pattern to Klempner's stalking, the phrase that pays is "cha-ching." Klempner is not motivated by altruism, he's motivated by what's good for Klempner, and what's good for Klempner is what puts money in Klempner's pocket.
It's one thing for Klempner to say "Even though I've made a career out of snooping through other people's personal business I had no idea Chip was a pedo-porn peddler." It's quite another for him to say, "Now I know all about it, so what, I'm posting there anyway."
This is not someone who cares about ethics, morality, altruism or common decency. He does what he does because he figures, sooner or later, it pays.
So if Klempner is stalking someone, it's because Klempner thinks it's good for business, either because it puts money in his pocket or it takes money out of a rival's pocket.
