Gratuitous Arguments by Pavitra:

It was fairly obvious what e was up to. No
reasonable person could have been led into a false belief regarding
Mister Snuggles's identity by the message in question. (A reasonable
person would be hard-pressed to be led into a substantial true belief on
the question by the message, but that's beside the point.)

========================================================================

Judge G.'s Arguments:

All right, enough.   At this point, I find that, as a matter of 
precedent, any message purporting to be sent by "mister snuggles" that 
can't be easily traced to another "known to Agora" person (i.e. someone
whose identity is in "good standing") is sufficiently ambiguous that no 
action can be performed via such a message (see CFJ 3105).

As such, signing a message "mister snuggles" while sending from a
previously-unknown email address is equivalent to saying "just ignore
this message, it's null, void and IRRELEVANT."  Since such a null-
message can't mislead (because it doesn't *matter* from whom it comes), 
it's not a crime to send it.  NOT GUILTY.
