I have been around since the very beggining, when the community was lj_anonymous and didn’t even have much at all to do with the SDMB besides having a lot of Dopers as members, have read pretty much every one of its dozens of incarnations, and used to be targeted fairly often myself but still roll my eyes at a lot of what is said about it over here, including the allegations that people are being victimized offline. I’ve never seen anything like that and I’m a huge nerd that spends way too much time online surfing back and forth between a dozen sites so I would think I would have noticed and remembered.
The importance that the people here place on it (and the SDMB in general) is ridiculous.
It wasn’t me. I haven’t even been to to DJ in over a year, I’ve never had a DJ account, and if I posted anything to DJ at all, it was from my LJ account.
I do seem to recall someone having a DJ account with a user name similar to mine that had an avatar of an obese woman wearing a Burger King crown and nestling a soda cup in her cleavage, and who was not me. But I have no idea whose account that was, nor do I care enough to find out.
I proactively accept your apology; however, I do not appreciate being publicly accused of threatening to harass people on the Internet, particularly when you have no proof that a) it even happened, and b) that it was me and not someone pretending to be me.

As hard to believe as this may be, there was a nonny or two following me around for a while trying to pin a bunch of weird things on me. When none of them stuck he spent a couple of weeks pretending that I had put up child porn on my web page. Pretty low, but when someone is [post=8886413]that fucking ridiculous[/post] you just can’t get too worked up. Some peoples anger here at the Dope towards me is so over the top, I have to take it the same way you guys handle the nonnies. I appreciate the nice mixed compliment though, Jim.
So do you think anyone on that list agrees that I’m stalking them*? Did you notice that EddyTeddyFreddy gave me the links for my entry on her? Quit digging yourself a hole.
*OK, me and Liberal used to cross paths and I’ll occasionally poke Guin, but you really are full of crap with that list.
Well, I’ll never again say I’ve never seen an example of Liberal being funny, because after my eyes glazed over during Sampiro’s self-indulgent multi-post opening (the style of which he’s generously brought over to this thread), Liberal’s blunt post #6 cracked me up.
Sorry to disappoint but that wasn’t Liberal, it was Inner Stickler. It was funny though.
I didn’t read this or the other full thread. I just noticed that Sampiro mentioned me in his response in this thread and I want to send him a great big hug!
You ARE loved.
Indeed. Ever since you described it as psychological art, I’ve had a better understanding of what it is you do. And I mind much less that you use me for it. Your disclaimer not only depersonalized it, but made it almost palatable.
I’m referring to Liberal’s post 6, consisting of
Maybe I’m the only one who thought it was funny.
Na, that was funny. You’re right. The combination of super long OP followed up with that little one liner was really funny.
Me, digging myself a hole? Might I remind you which one of us maintains a website whose sole purpose is to propagate vile snark, and hides behind a facade of preserving a “science” museum. You’re nowhere near as clever and subtle as you think you are.
No. It was a very dry “tldr”.
eta: Hostile Dialect, do you think you are proving something repeating that point? My website is not mean spirited, all the insults are done mostly in a “roast” type manner. It’s not your cup of tea, fine, but it doesn’t make me a fucking stalker. Especially when it’s a project I ran over a couple of months, years ago, ffs. It’s clear you are a clever young guy who thinks he can shoot his mouth off and figure out a way to back it up later. You clearly haven’t read my site so maybe, just maybe, stop talking about it? The mods don’t like it much in any case.
Now you’re the conscientious Doper worried about how the mods feel. Cute.
Unlike some of the posters in this thread, I like a good rant. I see it as performance art.
Hellfire & Brimstone preachers do this, with their repeatings of the word “HAILFAR.” Bill Hicks did it because he was dieing of cancer and had nothing to lose. Your pub/bar buddies do this when they’ve had a few. Harold Beele’s rants in Network is what made the movie a classic. Conservative radio talk show hosts have jobs because they rant. Chris Rock rants about white people and they love it.
The Interweb ranter doesn’t have body language or language tone to color his rants, so he’s got more of a challenge. I didn’t realize what point Sampiro was making at first, but the aside to Mary Tudor was part of a proper buildup to his Grand Proclamation of Hate for Rick’s former bosses. His exasperation for Jodie Foster is mirroring John Hinckley’s motives for shooting Reagan. He mohawked his head Taxi Driver-style and stalked the evil ex bosses in a fit of hypothetical hypothermia, then exploded upon their names in righteous rage and indignation.
Plus, Sampiro is too genteel to resort to words like “slaughter,” “dismember,” and “eat babies,” so he builds up his rage on historical and pop cultural references. He doesn’t use claw hammers or steak knives. He uses bouquests of prickly stinky flowers.
My eye won’t stop twitching. I bet I look like Paris Hilton
Oh, don’t be so hard on yourself. I’m sure your nose is vastly better. I mean, you don’t also look like an ostrich, do you?
Oh no, my memory is not the least bit foggy in this. I have a long, long, long memory when it comes to things like this. This was brought up at one of the LiveJournal incarnations, and explained. Some female actually posted what they thought was another female’s personal information, and it wasn’t. I made especially sure to note it down, as a cautionary against those involved. It was also detailed via links to archives (which might be defunct now) at the companion site set up to glorify snark and detail the rising and falling of all the various Snarker’s Lair incarnations. Didn’t you have a hand in that particular Shrine? :dubious: Sapo, take heed they are vipers.
Actually, no. And you can ask over there if anyone has e-mailed (if that is still their policy) the moderator from the e-mail address in my profile. They haven’t. I do not post there, I do not go there. (ETA2: When it was at LiveJournal I did, and I stumbled on one post LJ. I haven’t read there in some time. I put together the “I’m having an affair with a cop” stuff via observation here.) I was finding myself way to angry and wishing very ill luck on the snarkers there. I still do not wish them well, but at least I do not wish them ill now. ETA: And I wouldn’t mourn at all to read about a big huge amount of bad luck that came into some of those troll’s lives, the icing on the cake would be if they have no one to blame but themselves and they find themselves with no friends to lean on because their snarky attitude has driven them away.
Oooh! I think what you are talking about happened in the SDMB LJ, not one of the anon incarnations. Some Doper here was a PI or worked for a collections agency and used her database access to track down another Doper to prove she was a liar. Turns out she tracked down totally wrong person with a similar name.
And yes I had a hand in that shrine, it’s what me and Hostile Dialect were talking about and the reason he mentioned you is because there is a short entry on you there with a couple of links - he just cut and pasted the contents line. That’s why Hostile Dialect thinks I “stalk” you.
