Yeah i vaguely remember you saying as much in your podcast.

Ayre has always been the most important, and least understandable part of the story. A random psycho isn't especially interesting.

I remember quipping on irc, back when all this started, that given Calvin was on an interpol list and Craig was in trouble with the tax office, these were the perfect people to "turn" to set up a psyop. I was only like 80% joking at the time, but of course it's ridiculous at this point. Which just leaves me endlessly bewildered by Ayre's behavior.
