RI "Bad" Guys: UR DOIN IT WRONG

[Wombaticus Rex]

Et, put yourself in my shoes. I get accused of actively working to ruin Jeff Wells, I'm here answering everything, I'm asking for explanations of why people think this...and now I'm defending my day job?

I'm willing to indulge this for a few more pages, though. This is a very Karmic discomfort I'm feeling, I've been putting other people under my internet research lens for a decade now, it's only right that I stay calm under someone else's microscope. I'm here.

Wombat if you get paid well for writing software, why would you close out a coffee shop six days a week? That doesn't make a lot of sense.

Uh, why you posted your fucking day job is beyond my limited understanding..

Did you not see what skanky did to me two weeks ago?

[Wombaticus Rex]

Because I'm answering, uh...accusations I'm increasingly unclear on, actually. What are you guys even saying I do? I feel like you're just brow-beating me. I play along and now I'm stupid for humoring you guys?

OMH, I think you're confusing the financial "short selling" like the Wikipedia dispute centers around with what my company does, which is "short sale" real estate. Is that why you're accusing me of contributing to crashes?

George Soros does this:

Justin Boland works for a company that helps real estate agents do this:

Now you're just getting picked on.

On edit, this thread really isn't about Wombat/J-Bol here. It's getting fucked up that now it's a matter of judgment on increasingly irrelevant aspects of someone's personal life, which have never been concealed to anyone who'd look--WR here posts to his own sites all the time, where he's got his name and picture etc.

I don't write software. I didn't say that I did. I write a blog, do research and run a twitter accuont for a company that sells the software. There's lots of positions in the company that don't involve writing code.

I do the coffee shop job because, as I've recently discovered, real life is fucking expensive. There's also really good food there and it gets me out of the house and in front of people. I think the job is utterly beneath me and that's why I do it.

My email is powerweirdo@gmail dot com. My phone number is public record. I'm here.

Hey, everybody. Lay off on the personal attacks on Wombaticus Rex and how he earns his livelihood. Immediately. There is no Big Bad here. You're giving conspiracy-theory research a bad name.

Which is what anyone opposed to Jeff Wells would want. Do the reporting before you take the shot. This shit stays online forever, you know.

[Occult Means Hidden]

I'm just going to wait until Jeff decides to clear this up now. I don't understand the wait.

I totally agree. It's unseemly. And off-topic. And horrible. Cut it out.

Who are the current, non-banned usernames that are bad guys? What really happened with 8bit and LBO?

Since this has a chance of getting seen here:

@ Teams Chaos Fiction and Theremy:

GET SOME NEW FUCKING MATERIAL.

I was just looking at that "Last Statue" crap. If I see one more thing that looks vaguely ARG-ish that mentions Aleister Crowley or anything that you ripped out of a Grant Morrison comic book from TEN FUCKING YEARS AGO--or worse, out of some prog rock album liner notes about the New Falcon catalog from back when dinosaurs roamed the earth with creationists--i'm going to freak out worse than the I do at the next "HAI GUYS LOOK AT THIS INTERESTING ARTICLE ABOUT TEH COMMUNIST JEW BANKERS I FOUND AT EXECUTIVE INTELLIGENS REVUE NO I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT IZ STRUMFART" loser. I mean, seriously. Wow, using free "blog" sites to "promote" your "alternative" reality three-times-removed? Who the fuck cares? If you're going to come into this internet backwater to act like yours is so much more awesome and we're all deluded conspiracy theorists who make easy marks--fucking learn to hit the fucking shift key, AND STOP WRITING THE SAME CRAP OVER AND OVER AND OVER. Yeah, yeah, I know, Jack Parsons, hey, look, it's that Richard Metzger article "Antichrist Superstar" ABOUT SOMETHING THAT HAPPENED SEVENTY YEARS AGO. Yeah, I know, the "world wide web" has incredible potential to change the way we access information, especially with "dial-up" access! Oh, yeah, I forgot, here's your copy of Bleach, you know, the one with the "controversial" cover art. Sorry I forgot to return it IN THE NINETIES.

Same shit for Theresa Duncan and all you unwitting chaos fiction writers in the other vein. Find some other dead white woman worth the metaphorical digging, there's a lot of them. Hahaha, "Anna... Graham!" I never get tired of that one!

On edit, I meant "In Utero" or "Nevermind." Sorry, officer, it was fifteen years ago.

Amen to that.

[smiths]

what a bunch of bullshit

you posted a thread less than one day ago about agents and upsets on the forum and it has had 600 views already,
no doubt by this time tomorrow it will have passed the 1200 mark

that is my definition of distraction and derailment,
these threads are to deep politics forums what britney spears is to the mainstream media

its already past the 1200, mere hours since i made the point

pointless, farcical, damaging and pathetic

The board is spam/spammer-proofed. Perhaps it should just get ARG-proofed as well (particularly the sock-puppet thing; I've never understood why it is tolerated).

Sockpuppets aren't tolerated. There was some laxness in that regard back in the ezboard day, but I knew even less than about administering a board than I do now. Socks are deactivated as soon as they're detected. If you suspect any, please pm myself or a moderator.

Bump. You''re the boss. What do you want?

Sure, graduate of the Arthur Carlson School of Forum Management.

Let's bridge the information gap. Bring some info about the disinfo. Because half the members - I hope more - don't have a clue what this is all about. And we don't know all, either. Except perhaps those who are dirty.

I can start, with what I know and think appropriate to share here.

[elfismiles]

Watching, listening, interested, yes. You're free to implicate me in whatever you see me implicated in and I won't take offense (or admit to it).

OMG. You just did, you fucking idiot. I wasn't going to name you if I didn't have to. You're a very good writer, by the way. I have absolutely no idea what goal or cause you think you're advancing by prepping the board for the Last Statue (and associated) bullshit. But if you have one that's not a lie or a rationalization, I'd be curious to hear it. Because you're obviously a very smart and very gifted guy. And if you're doing a single thing other than punishing Jeff Wells (and optimally, bringing about his online destruction) for crimes unknown to me, I really can't see what it is.

And this is what I know about Jeff: He's one of the most gifted essayists I've ever read. By my lights, he's the most gifted contemporary essayist currently not writing, in fact. He may be wrong about stuff sometimes. But who isn't? WTF do you have against him?

And elfismiles, don't even try. I like you fine. Don't fuck with me and mine and I won't fuck with you. Amnesty for all non-felons, that's my position.

Ok, I'm here ... just finished catching up.

Yeah, I'm feeling a little bit guilty right about now.

I guess I'm the facilitator. Or as Et says, part of the problem since I have a clue what's being alleged here.

Though perhaps C2W has finally figured out more than anybody else. I'm not sure. That remains to be seen.

I sure as hell don't have the fullest picture or understanding of wtf is going on.

Et in Arcadia encouraging it, adds to the flame.

You admit that you don't understand what's going on, but you're sure of my role.

Neato.

You have no idea what is going on here, and if you do, you are a PART OF THE FUCKING PROBLEM.

Which I'm not accusing you of being, by the way. I'm simply stating that if you are not in full command of what facts there are, please don't go sticking your finger in my fucking face. Members here have NO IDEa what kind of shit I've had to put up with on this forum..

And, did Percival get banned? For the Sid and Nancy avatar?
