Of all the hypotheses up in the air,
Hâ‚‚ is clearly the most damning one with respect to Sarah's role in this long-running drama.
Hâ‚‚: Sarah conspired with Gary Weiss to nefariously frame Judd Bagley.
Is there any evidence to falsify
Hâ‚‚? (None that I know of has yet come to light.)
Is there any evidence to support
H₂? Yes. Upthread, Sarah admits to being aware of tracking URLs, which she warns her correspondents about. She characterized the tracking URLs as "spyware" — a well-defined term that has a substantially different meaning (and a more nefarious purpose) than a commonplace tracking link or pixel. The most convincing recent evidence that Sarah was intending to frame Judd Bagley is this admission:
QUOTE(Sarah)
As for your e-mails, you know you were playing silly buggers (call it spyware, call it tracking, call it spoofing; it doesn't change that you were up to no good). I therefore forwarded your e-mails to a lot of people, including ArbCom.
The hypothesis that Judd Bagley was "up to no good" is one that we must now add to the mix. However, the above quote clearly supports the hypothesis,
Hâ‚‚, that Sarah was out to demonize Judd and undermine his standing. Whether she was doing this in cahoots with Gary Weiss remains to be demonstrated.
