Sickening Trolls

[Jim]

For those of you who care, I took the liberty to delete the "Sickening Truths" thread. It was a trainwreck headed nowhere fast.

I was also emailed privately by certain parties invloved and was ASKED by them to delete it, so don't jump on me for censorship.

The thread starter was "airing dirty laundry" in a public forum and basically just trolling. No good was going to come of it.

You may all now resume your regularly scheduled programs.

Thanks jim I won't get on you for deleting the thread.
but I am sorry not to hear more of the replies.
you are a good man charlie brown

Jim,

As you know, I've got a pet peeve against erasing anything. On this one, I'm with you 100%.

[Peter Voice]

Thank you Jim.

I notice that Ettienne has registered on the troll's site. I think, when the dust settles, I'll do the same.

[Omega]

You know, you guys use the term "trolls" like it's your only lifeline to having a hope at a point.

Why don't you just admit you'd rather not have the truth out there about street performers?

Oh - and if any of you think you'll be countering me on my own web site...Good luck.
You don't have a snowball's chance in hell. I run the site, I own the server and I manage EVERYTHING about it.

Keep up the smug attitude, you're just giving me more to work with.

[Peter Voice]

I just love the rationale.

Hey, the two or three performers I know make arseholes of themselves so all you other street performers must be arseholes too (women and children included).

By that logic, I know two people from Manitoba who are both arseholes so everyone from Manitoba must be arseholes too.

BTW, Do you have a hit counter on the rear end of your site. They can be very informative.

[Jim]

Omega, if you're listening, you are not welcome here. Please stop wasting our time.

Other performers, please do not reply to Omega's posts. I really don't want to deal with this crap.

[martin ewen]

I think its only fair.

Given a situation where someone anonymously posts smears I think your right Jim and that fueling it is counterproductive.
I do think that Alexander Trauzzi should apoligise.
I have his address in Winnipeg. But decline to open that can of worms. P Voice, you realise you just blew Ettienne's cover? Thats very Roverian. Where's your sense of espionage?

[Mr.Taxi Trix]

Jesus, Martin, that typing icon is Awesome.

[le pire]

Yes,

I registered on the troll's site to take it there where it belongs. I did not register anonymously because that is something a troll would do. However, his site is not exactly up to speed and it was not possible to post...

then he puts this here:

Oh - and if any of you think you'll be countering me on my own web site...Good luck.

What an ass, no wonder he can't get laid.

Seems Alex is a very busy game player indeed. A quick 'Google' will give you an idea. Some of the other search engines give even more interesting insights. He is also a creature of habit with passwords.

"They're all young and underexperienced"

A quote regarding p.net from Alex's site.

Martin, as always, you are right in not giving out Omega's address and I trust you won't tell people how easy it is to get the phone number too. I must congratulate you on your research.

[le pire]

isn't it ironic

I sent Alex a private message about posting on his site and this was his reply:

Re: your forum...
Posting on the front page of my web site is currently reserved for people that I choose. While I might add somewhere for anyone & everyone to post, I have to be able to trust the people writing on the front of my site.

That really says it all.

"Exciting enough. I received a response from the Free Press regarding my "lead" on street performers. I made a modest and very civil account of what I've come to know. Hopefully it doesn't get garbaged too quickly.
I think buskers need to be revealed for who they truly are: predators."

I assume this is "The Winnipeg Free Press" but I can only access today's stories. Any one from Winnipeg that can find out if they actually ran anything??

I do doubt that they would be so stupid.

[Doctor Eric]

I missed all of this, what's the guy's url?

[martin ewen]

The only sane response

Eric, he's an idiot.Email me for details but really only if you are trigger finger bored.
The only fun I could think of having with him was to Google bomb him.
He has very little web presence and we all have websites. If we put his name followed by the word..say 'idiot' in a meta tag one one of our obscure pages or even just put it in text the same colour as our backgrounds on a page at the top. Then searching for him would become more interesting than the linux sites he's puttering about on now.
But really, who can be bothered.
(apart from me, I'm just off to do it now)
