Name

I don't think it's particularly necessary to have the clutter of his full given name, and a "also know as" and his normal day to day name. Question is, how to fix it? I'm thinking: putting his full name first, and day to day name in parenthesis after, or just use his full name and skip the day to day name. I vote for just his full name.

It just doesn't look quite right the way it currently is... XDisplacerx (talk) 14:07, 7 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Full name alone seems right to me. I like to see "more commonly known as" when it isn't clear that the same person uses both names (Example: "Abadin Tadia Tjoessoep, more commonly known as Sheikh Yusuf or Sheik Joseph") but I think we all kvow that David and Dave are forms of the same name. 2600:1700:D0A0:21B0:5999:33F0:410C:E5C2 (talk) 15:40, 23 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

What is Support.com and Xeriton? =

The article says "In December 2009, Xeriton Corporation was sold to Support.com for $8.5 million.[18]". Does does not mention what either of those companies has to do with Dave Plummer. Seems completely disconnected. Is this an error? What is Xeriton ?

Xeriton began as SoftwareOnline and changed in named in the mid-2Ks. It was Plummer's software company that he owned and ultimately sold to Support.com (NASDAQ:SPRT) — Preceding unsigned comment added by 73.97.237.1 (talk) 18:33, 26 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Recent vandalism

Settlements are not convictions and a prosecuting attorney general's press release is not a reliable source or an independent source. (We also don't use press releases from defense attorneys as sources for the same reasions.) --Guy Macon Alternate Account (talk) 20:15, 27 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

A statement issued by the Attorney General of Washington state is not a reliable source? that is interesting. Going by this complete lie, any statement issued by a government agency, police etc. via press would also be deleted too. And we all know these things are not deleted at all. There's no need for the compulsive lying. It's quite obvious this site's users are trying desperately to protect this criminal and clearly isn't working. 14.203.50.234 (talk) 21:52, 27 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia users and David covering up and downplaying his past crimes

The source of the attorney general's statement is in the reference and was cited correctly. This information needs to be added to explain to readers what David was actually prosecuted for. David and other users have been trying to downplay his criminal past, deleting it and trying to make this event seem like nothing actually happened. The man scammed people out of a fortune by selling them fake software that didn't work. The attorney generals comments need to be added back to explain the entire details. 14.203.50.234 (talk) 21:48, 27 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
