Adding insult to injury, <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Privatemusings">Privatemusings</a> took it upon himself to start his own <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:NotTheWikipediaWeekly/Episode_6">stalk radio station</a>, which he used to characterize raving and psychotic trolls as sane, logical, and rational. I am here to break the story that the uploaded podcast is a complete fraud.<br /><br />This blog post was delayed due to exceptional investigations I have been doing. I think you will appreciate this, and it will be an eye opener into what makes the trolls tick. The podcast uploaded to commons is troll trickery; the recording is highly edited and voices of seemingly sane individuals were dubbed in. However, first allow me to explain neutrally the nauseas circumstances that started this stalk radio station.<br /><br />The official story is that Privatemusings, a bizarre and perverse <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Privateplat.jpg">platypus partisan</a>, offered the trolls a pulpit to shout their troll memes, smears, and incoherent rants. They accepted, and Wikipedia Review members <a href="http://wikipediareview.com/index.php?showuser=275">Somey</a>, <a href="http://wikipediareview.com/index.php?showuser=3670">Moulton</a>, <a href="http://wikipediareview.com/index.php?showuser=911">thekohser</a>, and <a href="http://wikipediareview.com/index.php?showuser=309">Wordb*mb</a> showed up with their lascivious and loony rants—all at the encouragement of the troll and stalker enabling Privatemusings. This masturbatory troll exercise was uploaded to Commons and made available on Wikipedia, which caused courageous captains of the Wiki to question the following:<br /><br /><blockquote>1. Does this violate the blocking policy?<br />2. Is this proxying for banned users?<br />3. Did Somey purchase his mic at <a href="http://www.walmart.com/">Troll-Mart</a> or something? Get a new mic, troll!<br />4. Dear G-d, when will JzG, Phil Sandifer, and an <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:NonvocalScream">obvious sockpuppet who somehow has OTRS access</a> step in to save us from these schizophrenic swine? </blockquote>Thank Jimbo that the answer to number four was “not very long”. What can only be described as a <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:NonvocalScream">formerly-Great-Wikipedian-that-was-probably-ran-off-by-paid-stalkers</a> arrived on the scene to <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Miscellany_for_deletion/Wikipedia:NotTheWikipediaWeekly/Episode_6">nominate</a> this wiki blasphemy for deletion.<br /><br />I made <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:Administrators%27_noticeboard&diff=prev&oldid=203235869">my feelings</a> about this very clear, only to have it removed by <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:Administrators%27_noticeboard&diff=next&oldid=203235869">distasteful</a> and <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:Administrators%27_noticeboard&diff=next&oldid=203331568">disguised trolls</a>. Bravely speaking up on the matter earned me a <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:Log&type=block&page=User:Wilky_DiFendare">ban</a>, but some great heroes kept up the good fight in the face of a numerically superior enemy and argued for its deletion.<br /><br />Yadda, yadda, yadda, the trolls showed up in force and persuaded a Great Wiki Protector to <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:Miscellany_for_deletion/Wikipedia:NotTheWikipediaWeekly/Episode_6&diff=203410193&oldid=203409864">abandon his or her principles</a>. Big surprise. The real story here is that I have uncovered the actual recording of this stalk radio program; had Decent Wikipedians been able to hear this actual audio, the MfD result would have been much different.<br /><br />The <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Con_man">bunco artist</a> Privatemusings did indeed do an interview with stalkers and trolls, but the audio he uploaded is not genuine. No stalker or troll from Wikipedia Review can speak in complete sentences and not shout four letter words wildly. This flimflammer tossed the original recording and replaced it with a handcrafted propaganda piece, replacing troll voices with the voices of paid actors. I know what you are thinking. “Wiki Defender, how did you know this recording was a blatant bamboozlement?” Well amigo, after years of dealing with paid trolls and stalkers that will break into your house and <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User:Privatemusings&diff=prev&oldid=203240642">hide all your underwear</a> just for kicks, I have developed a few gut instincts. Long story short, I knew for a fact that the frivolous and flagrant fiend Privatemusings was pulling a fast one. Luckily, after some investigation and adventure, I have tracked down the actual recording.<br /><br />I phoned and emailed every under cover agent that we have <a href="http://www.wikipediareview.com/">in the field</a> to track down the original recording. Coming up fruitless, I decided to switch tactics and found a troll that needed a favor—an unbanning. In exchange for a “good word” from me (which is invaluable), this troll promised to fork over the goods and we arranged for a meeting.<br /><br />We planned to converge at a New Jersey diner. I was a bit nervous, knowing that not only would I have to look a troll in the eye, but I would also have to inhale his reeking troll stench. Nevertheless, I knew it was for the greater good and pressed on. I put my dog, DONGO (named in honor of MONGO), in the backseat of my Volkswagen and started the eight-hour drive, my trusty cluestick beside me for protection (Mind you, I was more than willing to mercilessly whack the crap out of this troll with my savage slaying cluestick, if need be).<br /><br />I smelled the troll about a mile away before finally arriving at my destination. He stood</span></span><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEicI00vsX5gU7cTHH-FfmFy-_pCwkS8KipLpE9ZTVnbiML3V5swbUPrkN9KfNh4PFZx0G1zvYika6wFVSChpmqzOXKdUQ76KdAQU4bsj098dnG4im65PrxvEZqlmgQ7FaIvnBl6t1f7EF71/s1600-h/inspectorofhoots.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; float: right; cursor: pointer; width: 239px; height: 181px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEicI00vsX5gU7cTHH-FfmFy-_pCwkS8KipLpE9ZTVnbiML3V5swbUPrkN9KfNh4PFZx0G1zvYika6wFVSChpmqzOXKdUQ76KdAQU4bsj098dnG4im65PrxvEZqlmgQ7FaIvnBl6t1f7EF71/s320/inspectorofhoots.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5186979972975701714" border="0" /></a><span style="font-size:130%;"><span style="font-family:arial;"> next to a beat up <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:ChevyElCaminoPickupEsplanade1.jpg">El Camino</a>, nervously chain-smoking <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chesterfield_%28cigarette%29">Chesterfield</a> cigarettes. He had a wild look in his eyes; it was nearly inhuman. His pants were crusted with a strange whitish substance, similar to <a href="http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn305/wikidefender/rachelmarsdentshirt.jpg">this</a>. He wore a <a href="http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Image:Vomit.jpg">vomit</a>, grease, and sweat stained t-shirt that read “hooter inspector”. This is just what I expected a misogynistic and crazed troll to look like.</span></span><br /><br /><span style="font-size:130%;"><span style="font-family:arial;">His eyes darted around, in fear that one of his deplorable associates had followed him and would prevent his perfidious two-faced act. He mumbled something about how he wanted to edit <a href="http://wikidashboard.parc.com/w/index.php?title=Horseland">Horseland</a> again and handed the recording off. I nodded my head and told him he was doing the right thing. Just as I said this, Daniel Brandt and a horde of hooligans pulled up, all crammed inside of a Volkswagen mini-bus that looked eerily like the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:IMG_1794.JPG">mystery machine</a>. The libelous lawbreaker Brandt and his band of banned blackmailers started hurling water balloons as hard as they could from the minibus, directing their fire at the indictable troll that they caught red-handed. The disgraced troublemaker dove into his El Camino, painstakingly trying to get it into first gear. I, fearing for my own safety, jumped in my vehicle and drove away. I glanced in my rear view mirror and saw a hideous <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bat_boy">half-bat half-man creature</a> that I guessed to be Somey. He was aiming a <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Super_soaker">super soaker</a> full of urine at his former stalking and harassment compatriot. Thankfully, I did not stick around for the aftermath, but I guarantee that the traitorous troll was eventually soaked from head to toe in putrid stalker urine.<br /><br />I got the recording home and listened; what I heard was shameful, sickening, and stupefying. In a meandering and illogical rant, the Wicked Wordb*mb postulates on how the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:SlimVirgin">Blessed Virgin</a> and <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Jayjg">The Good Shepherd</a> made <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/First_contact_%28science_fiction%29">first contact</a> with an <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Venusians">alien civilization</a> and authored their reliable sources, original research and attribution policies, which ensures that their POV is pushed on unsuspecting alien races all over the universe. Thekohser belligerently describes how telepathic sheriffs and homosexual assassins (and telepathic homosexuals) had teamed up to write a <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:COI">conflict of interest policy</a> to doom his treacherous "editing for money" idea for good. Somey just growled and frothed at the mouth like the demon he is, and Moulton rambled about parallel universes, Atlantis, and how he used to fight trans-dimensional aliens at MIT.<br /><br />Now, you too can hear what real trolls sound like.<br /><br />Listen to their animalistic growling, lunatic ranting, maniacal laughter, and their torture victims screaming for mercy in the background! Wiki violence begets wiki violence and the uploading of this Great Deceit was the first step for Wikipedia to head into full blown Satan worship, where stalkers and trolls are given respect and a pulpit to spread their diseased rants and froth at the mouth as they shout their disgusting desires!<br /><br />The recording you are about to hear was not tampered with in any way by me, other than editing it down for time. Suggesting that this recording was edited with corny and low quality sounds from bad horror movies will not be tolerated; anyone stating this is a troll per <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:DUCK#The_duck_test">WP:DUCK</a>. You <span style="font-style: italic;">will</span> be asked to refactor.<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:DUCK#The_duck_test"></a><br /><br />Listen and peer into the darkened soul of the average Wikipedia Review member.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;">If you dare.</span><br /><br /><br /><span style="font-style: italic;">Defending the wiki and uncovering The Truth,<br /><br /></span><br /><br /><span style="font-style: italic;">The Wiki Defender</span><br /><br /><span style="font-style: italic;font-size:100%;" >Please use headphones to listen.

However, the emotion-filled responses I received convinced me to continue, as did the reemergence of a <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Giano_II">notorious troll</a>. Giano is a blight on our Great Wiki. It is time to purge him and his petulance from our community; now is our chance and we must seize the opportunity.<br /><br />Nevertheless, realize that the trolls will crawl out from under their rocks and will not make it easy. For example, it should be no surprise to you, dear reader, that the same people that <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Administrators%27_noticeboard/Mantanmoreland_ban_discussion">advocated</a> the <a href="http://wikback.com/forums/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=4202#Post4202">execution</a> of an <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Mantanmoreland">innocent man</a> are now supporting a <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Giano">virulent disease-spreading beast</a>.<br /><br />This reprobate started his troll binge by <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:FloNight&diff=prev&oldid=200862245">berating FloNight with bizarre hate speech</a>. Recall that FloNight, as Thatcher <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia%3AAdministrators%27_noticeboard%2FArbitration_enforcement&diff=201056581&oldid=201055396">aptly points out</a>, lacks male genitalia. Is the targeting of Flo a coincidence? Do you really believe that Giano asked her about the IRC admins channel because of supposed "assurances" she had made, or does it have more to do with her lack of a penis? The answer is clear to every non-troll reading. Undeniably, this is <span style="font-style: italic;">more evidence</span> that Giano is an out-of-control-creature, motivated to destroy our collegiate atmosphere and spread his hate-filled misogyny to all corners of our Sacred Wikipedia. Thatcher, an important Arbcom clerk and checkuser, <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:Carcharoth&diff=prev&oldid=201061797">agrees</a> with me. 'Nuff said.<br /><br />Accordingly, in a subsequent discussion, <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:Administrators%27_noticeboard/Arbitration_enforcement&oldid=201181797#Giano_II">many</a> noted his obscene trolling; however, <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:FT2">FT2</a> took the lead in supplying the diffs, proving beyond a reasonable doubt that Giano is King of the Trolls.<br /><br />In <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:Village_pump_%28proposals%29&diff=prev&oldid=199162297">this</a> one, he is defending our <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Jimbo_Wales">Dear Leader</a>, but he also says the F-word, something no honorable Wikipedian would say. <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:FloNight&diff=200883755&oldid=200879619">Here</a>, he suggests that Flo may have had a stroke and lost her ability to speak (this could also be <span style="font-weight: bold;">a <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:No_personal_attacks#Personal_attacks">threat</a></span>). Oh, but the troll has not finished! After hoping that Flo had a stroke, he <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:FloNight&diff=200922427&oldid=200921736">said that she should be paralyzed</a>! Giano is certainly implying that Flo contracted a <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neuromuscular_disease">neuromuscular disease</a> when he started posting on her talk page. Is that the daydreaming of a demented troll or a threat from the criminally insane? Whatever the answer, this troll is begging for a blocking. He later threatened to <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:FloNight&diff=prev&oldid=200930473">pull out all of Ryan Postlethwaite's teeth</a>, which is a particularly despicable threat, since Ryan has a <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Ryanpostlethwaite.jpg">gorgeous smile</a>. </span></span><span style="font-size:130%;"><span style="font-family:arial;">FT2 saw these comments exactly as I saw them: pure, unadulterated <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Incivility">incivility</a></span></span>. <span style="font-size:130%;"><span style="font-family:arial;">Back at <a href="http://www.wikipediareview.com/">the hideout</a>, </span></span><span style="font-size:130%;"><span style="font-family:arial;">Giano winks and nods to his fellow trolls, high fives them and generally has a merry time. Although, he did let it slip that <a href="http://wikipediareview.com/index.php?s=&showtopic=16924&view=findpost&p=88462">he speaks German</a>, a <a href="http://wikitruth.info/index.php?title=Durova%27s_Sekret_Evidence">known character trait</a> of ripened and repugnant rascals.<br /><br />Thank goodness that FT2 (a very concise and clear communicator) <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special%3ALog&type=block&user=FT2&page=User%3AGiano+II">blocked</a> </span></span><span style="font-size:130%;"><span style="font-family:arial;">Giano for all of his treachery,</span></span><span style="font-size:130%;"><span style="font-family:arial;"> just as we would <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:Administrators%27_noticeboard/Arbitration_enforcement&diff=prev&oldid=201041196">any schoolchild vandal</a>. The brainless and obtuse made arguments like, “but he is one of the best writers we have, surely there is another way to deal with this!” and “his commitment to the project cannot be questioned, wah, wah, wah, I’m a crybaby!” These are the imbecilic comments of ignorant people. If the imbeciles’ statements are true, then why does he set his sights on <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:IRC#.23wikipedia-en-admins">the Cathedral of Wikipedia</a>, where our most respected leaders congregate? He is clearly a heretic and an inciter of Wiki-violence, attempting to induce <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fear%2C_uncertainty_and_doubt">fear, uncertainty, and doubt</a> at every opportunity. The way to deal with this revolting insurrectionist is to <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Talk:Gary_Weiss&diff=prev&oldid=165916446">shoot on site</a>.<br /><br />Why must we allow him to keep creating headaches for us? Is it all because of a few stupid articles that do not get <a href="http://stats.grok.se/en/200802/Winter%20Palace">half as many hits</a> as the article about <a href="http://stats.grok.se/en/200802/blowjob">blowjobs</a>? Is the content he provides really that important? Our readers do not seem to think so. It is time for a Great Leader, such as FT2, to tell him he can take all the architecture related crap that he writes and stick it where the sun don’t shine. Who gives a rats patooty about architecture anyway? There are certainly more important articles out there, <a href="http://wikidashboard.parc.com/wiki/User:FT2">zoophilia</a> being one example.<br /><br />It is the trick of the troll to question the perfection of our Wiki; Giano is a chief deceiver in this little game. All admins have a Jimbo given right to stay connected to the admin IRC channel for <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Giano_II/access_list">4 weeks, 3 days, 52 minutes, and 18 seconds</a>, non-stop. Giano wants to run rampant all over your Jimbo given rights. He wants to stop you from doing important things in the admins channel, like announcing that you’ll be right back because you are going to make a sandwich and complaining that your foot hurts. Yes, Giano wants to take this important medium away from you, so that he can head on back to <a href="http://www.wikipediareview.com/">the hideout</a> and gloat about it with his clan of good time fun boys, while they utter obscene German phrases, such as “<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leck_mich_im_Arsch">Leck mich im Arsch</a>” (a catchphrase <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:Academic_Challenger&diff=prev&oldid=156788817">common among trolls</a>).<br /><br />What is more important, all that <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:Contributions&limit=500&contribs=user&target=Giano+II&namespace=0">boring European poop</a> that Giano types about day and night, or socializing on IRC? The answer is clear, trolls. However, just in case it isn’t, here’s a hint: <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:WinterPalaceAndAC.jpg">this</a> stupid place is surely <span style="font-style: italic;">not</span> important. Why don't you work on something important, like the article about <a href="http://wikidashboard.parc.com/wiki/Labrador_Retriever">Labrador Receivers</a> and the <a href="http://wikidashboard.parc.com/wiki/Zoosexuality_and_the_law">legality of having sex with them</a>?<br /><br />FT2, rid us of this brutal beast, for we have important things to do in our admins channel and this out-of-the-loop oaf is interfering. Fellow Wikipatriots, pray to the Wiki Gods! Pray that they grant strength to FT2, the fearless insurgent fighter, so he may toss out this tenacious troll forever.<br /><br />Further, I issue a challenge to the malignant malcontent, Giano. Just before you were blocked, you referred to “<span style="text-decoration: underline;"></span><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:FloNight&diff=prev&oldid=200930473">logs</a>” that some other baneful brute evidently passed on to you. FT2, sensing a field day for trolls, blocked you befittingly. You then made <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:Giano_II&diff=prev&oldid=201006913">another terroristic threat</a>, implying that FT2's noble action will not stop you from leaking these logs.<br /><br />Normally, as a Good Wikipedian, I <a href="http://wikidefender.blogspot.com/2008/03/perversion-of-public-leakers.html">WP:Ignore all leaks</a>. In spite my philosophy on leaks, I will make an exception in your case. Send those logs to me, Giano, or post them in the comments section of this blog and I will deconstruct the dossier and prove once and for all that the admins channel is not the den of iniquity that you describe; in fact, I will prove conclusively that it is entirely righteous and beyond reproach. I have it on good authority that the two most discussed topics, besides maintaining Wikipedia and keeping it troll free, are kittens and <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Salt-cured_meat">salt-cured meats</a>—which, though I am allergic to cats <span style="font-style: italic;">and</span> a vegetarian (meat is murder), are not controversial topics. So stick that in your pipe and smoke it.<br /><br />Your action or inaction in this matter will be telling. Put up or shut up, troll.

I received clarification that Sue Gardner was just testing the spam filter and making sure we are sufficiently fortified against trollish influences—an excellent use of her salary, I must admit. Indeed, I salute Sue for knowing the dangers that brave little editors face, as we wiki away in our wiki world.<br /><br />This leaves me with egg on my face. A role model of mine once said that <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User:Zocky/Picture_Popups&diff=prev&oldid=173995815">nobody bats .100</a>. How true that is. For example, <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mario_Mendoza">Mario Mendoza</a>, after whom the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mendoza_Line">Mendoza line</a> was named, batted .198 in the 1979 season, but not .100. Not even the most seasoned sock/troll <a href="http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/private_dick">dick</a> is expected to reach this unattainable goal. But should we quit, just because it is impossible for us to bat .100? Of course not. Our cause must march on.<br /><br />However, it is time for you to pick up that fight.<br /><br />My time here has come to an end. I am being sucked into every trap that these paid trolls lay for me and I may be doing more harm to our cause than good. You may recall that <a href="http://wikidefender.blogspot.com/2008/03/all-good-things-must-come-to-end.html">I quit before</a> and came back (so what? <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:Administrators%27_noticeboard/Incidents&diff=prev&oldid=55692340">A lot</a> of <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special%3ALog&type=block&user=JzG&page=User%3AJzG">people</a> <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:JzG&oldid=160078773">do that</a>).<br /><br />I am quitting again.<br /><br />There is only one thing that can save me now and that is attention: massive amounts of it. Plead with me to keep blogging and foraging on, leaving a virtual blood trail of troll blood in my way has I deliver hard-hitting posts that cut to the quick of <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special%3ALog&type=block&user=Viridae+&page=User%3AMackan79">cantankerous cockpuppets</a> that invade our Holy Wiki daily. Say things like, “Don’t let the trolls get you down” and “Fuck you Daniel Brandt for running off the best Wikipedia blogger that blogspot has ever seen and may you contract leprosy and lather yourself in honey and dive into an <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apiary">apiary</a>.”<br /><br />Your disingenuous and hollow pleas to a person you have never met and will never meet is my only hope. Help to keep Wiki Defender wasting his life blogging and make disingenuous pleas for me to stay, and maybe I will.<br /><br />In other news, The Sloan Foundation <a href="http://www.news.com/8301-13772_3-9903050-52.html?tag=nefd.top">has donated 3 million dollars</a> to the Glorious Wikimedia Foundation, which guarantees that children in Africa will be afforded the opportunity to learn about <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Butt_harp">butt harps</a>, <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mammary_intercourse">mammary intercourse</a>, <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cleveland_steamer">Cleveland steamers,</a> <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soggy_biscuit">soggy biscuits</a>, <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ball_lock">ball locks</a>, and, of course, <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rusty_trombone">rusty trombones</a>.<br /><br />This in mind, I post a celebratory youtube.

As I read that eloquent post by Kelly Martin, I was overcome with so much joy and satisfaction that I stood and applauded at my computer screen. My dog, intuitively knowing that another blow has been delivered to the <a href="http://wikipediareview.com/">cyber terroists</a>, barked at as I applauded, apparently agreeing with me. The barking disturbed my neighbors, but once I explained to them the beautiful post Ms. Martin had written they understood and suggested I get some sleep, saying I looked a bit stressed out.<br /><br />I must commend <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Doc_glasgow">Doc glasgow</a> as well, for he made very many important points all over that thread, including pointing out that <a href="http://wikback.com/forums/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=4202#Post4202">banning a person from Wikipedia is equivalent to killing them</a>.

As soon as I arrived back at my home and looked at my computer in the corner, fear and panic gripped me. There was a hideous stench coming from my email inbox and I knew the smell very well: it was the stink of trolls.<br /><br />Obviously, these net kooks were now aware of my existence and they conscripted their highly paid private detectives and hacker friends to find my email. I did not anticipate this unintended consequence. The first email I opened, probably written by a paid stalker, said this:<br /><br /></span><blockquote style="font-family:arial;"><span style="font-size:130%;"><i>"if this blog is 4 srs then u r a dumbass and if it isnt then ur not funny</i></span></blockquote><span style=";font-family:arial;font-size:130%;" ><br />First of all, learn to capitalize and use proper words. I am an adult, I act like an adult, and I expect those who email me to speak like adults. Second, who is trying to be funny, jerkface? Yes, this blog is “4 srs”. Oh, and thanks for your blatant personal attack. Must I remind you of two core Wikipedian </span><span style="font-weight: bold;font-family:arial;font-size:130%;" >policies</span><span style=";font-family:arial;font-size:130%;" >, <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:NPA">WP:NPA</a> and <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:CIV">WP:CIV</a>? Make like a plane and take off, troll.<br /><br />I read my inbox further. Though I received vast amounts of support for standing up against these hatemongers, there were also some hideous threats of violence against my person and my home. One person said that if he (I assume it was a he, most stalkers are men) found out who I was that he would “pull my pants down in public”. A particularly devilish freedom hater mused on the idea of invading my home, saying:<br /><br /></span><blockquote style="font-family:arial;"><span style="font-size:130%;"><i>"IMAGINE THAT YOU ARE LAYING IN BED WATCHING JAY LENO AND ALL OF A SUDDEN YOU HEAR A KNOCK ON THE DOOR! YOU GET UP TO CHECK THE DOOR BUT NO ONE IS STANDING THERE! YOU WANT TO KNOW WHY? BECAUSE <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Knock_door_run">I’VE JUST KNOCKED ON YOUR DOOR AND RAN</a>! HAHHAHAHAHA! LET THIS BE A LESSON TO YOU DONUT MESS WITH US WE WANT TO RUIN WIKIPEDIA AND YOU ARE IN OUR WAY!"</i></span></blockquote><span style=";font-family:arial;font-size:130%;" ><br /><br />This homicidal door knocking imagery was a little more than I could take. I started shaking uncontrollably and passed out in my computer chair for G-d knows how long. I awoke to my dog licking my face, apparently empathizing with my stalking ordeal. I was still a bit woozy; nevertheless, I was determined to find out where these trolls were learning about my blog.<br /><br />I knew that they had to learn about it in one of three places: <a href="http://wikipediareview.com/">The Wikipedia Ruiners</a>, <a href="http://www.wikipedia-watch.org/">Wikipedia-Stalk</a>, or <a href="http://antisocialmedia.net/">Antifreecontent.net</a>. I have all three of these sites blocked so that they are inaccessible from my home, so I had to access them elsewhere. These trolls review their referrer logs daily to find new targets of harassment and I was not about to be found out that easily. This in mind, I frantically loaded up my Volkswagen and put my dog in the back seat and we drove 5 hours away from my home to access a computer at a public library in an undisclosed location.<br /><br />We arrived at the public library five hours and several bathroom breaks later. I ran inside and dove for a computer. The first site checked, Wikipedia-Stalk, showed its usual debauchery but nothing new. Antifreecontent.net had its disgusting smears against great editors, but nothing about my blog. That left one more site: Wikipedia Ruiners.<br /><br />And there it was in all its glory--<a href="http://wikipediareview.com/index.php?showtopic=16695">a thread</a> started by none other than that disgusting troll dtobias. Other sociopaths commented and speculated on my identity with reckless abandon. One suggested that <a href="http://wikipediareview.com/index.php?s=&showtopic=16695&view=findpost&p=86421">I am a fifteen year old</a> and another pondered about what my first sexual experience was like and if I was sexy (<a href="http://wikipediareview.com/index.php?s=&showtopic=16695&view=findpost&p=86440">it is written in code only decipherable by fellow trolls</a>). Several suggested that this very serious blog was a joke, which is an attempt to try to minimize my serious criticisms and character assassinate me.<br /><br />By this time, I was shouting at the computer screen, enraged by the gall of these stalkers. Then, the librarian had the nerve to ask me to leave because I was disturbing people. I looked her square in the eye and said “DO YOU REALIZE THAT YOU ARE ENABLING THESE TROLLS TO RUN RAMPANT ALL OVER WIKIPEDIA??!?! WHAT ARE YOU A PAID OVERSTOCK EMPLOYEE??” She again told me I was disturbing people, but I was the only one there so I called her a liar. Feeling a conflict arising, I walked towards my car. However, per <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:SPADE">WP:SPADE</a>, I called her a troll under my breath as I left. She responded by stalking me outside and wrote down my license plate number, which she will no doubt send to Daniel Brandt. Now I know why librarians do not like Wikipedia. They’re all trolls and troll enablers.<br /><br />I feel as if it will only be moments until my birth certificate, baby foot print and all, will be posted on Wikipedia Review. That will only be the beginning. Then a jilted lover of mine will show up on Wikipedia Review after googling my name and talk to the miscreants about my many sexual proclivities and inadequacies. Perhaps when they are bored with that they will use my social security number to get credit cards and <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ball_stretcher">buy</a> <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Butt_harp">odd</a> <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ball_lock">sexual</a> <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Love_pillow">devices</a> just to embarrass me. And on...And on...And on...<br /><br />I share this story because I have had numerous health concerns ever since these cyber terrorists started in full force. My stomach churns day and night and I am suffering from a stomach ulcer. My dog and I just got back home from our 10 hour round trip and mental collapse is very probable. I am still agitated about the threat of pants violence and am contemplating whether or not I can handle another aggressive <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Knock_door_run">knock and run</a> performed by a MyWikiBiz sockpuppet. At this point, I wonder if this blog is really worth devoting my time to, as I do not want my mental and physical health to suffer.<br /><br />All great things must come to an end. We have had a great run, friends, and this blog has enlightened many. Keep up the good fight. Please follow our noble leaders Tony Sidaway and JzG, for they know the way, and they will take our Wiki out of the hands of eschatological cyber terrorists from Wikipedia Review.

But I digress...<br /></p><p class="MsoNormal">Later, the trolls recruited an arbcom member to advocate <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Administrators%27_noticeboard/IncidentArchive385#Mackan79_block_log">destroying the evidence</a> of this Wordbomb/Mackan connection. All I can say is thank G-d for small miracles, for SlimVirgin was online at that very time to <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:Administrators%27_noticeboard/Incidents&diff=prev&oldid=198366789">stop this destruction of evidence and remind everyone of Mackan's egregious deeds</a>.

Predictably, the trolls <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:Mackan79&oldid=198791865#Personal_attacks">came out of the wood work</a> to assist a colleague in a time of need, led by none other than the President of the Stalking, Harassing, and Sexual Humiliation Committee, <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:Mackan79&diff=prev&oldid=198668599">Dtobias</a>.

Let's just say I am your friend. I am your friend if you <span style="font-style: italic;">aren't</span> a lying stalking wikipedia troll that gets his kicks through harassment, stalking, and sexual humiliation of Wikipedia editors.<br /><br />The title of this blog posting says it all. Any Wikipedia watcher knows (no, not the wikipedia-watch that I refuse to link to), The Wiki has been under attack from bad eggs and sleazeballs from every corner of the globe. This is evident in the so-called "scandals" that have occurred. The <a href="http://www.theregister.co.uk/2007/12/04/wikipedia_secret_mailing/">haranguing</a> of Durova, <a href="http://www.theregister.co.uk/2008/02/06/the_cult_of_wikipedia/">accusations of impropriety directed at Great Wikipedians</a>, and <a href="http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/main.jhtml?xml=/news/2008/03/12/wikipedia112.xml">peaking in Jimmy Wales bedroom</a>, has made it clear that we are a community under siege; finally, it was the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Administrators%27_noticeboard/Mantanmoreland_ban_discussion">the lynch mob</a> that went after a fine editor of <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:Contributions&limit=500&contribs=user&target=Mantanmoreland&namespace=0">financial and Catholicism related articles</a> that drove me over the edge. It is apparent that the troll memes are having an affect; they are even convincing overall right minded, moral, and prolific editors to assist them in their trolling games. <br /><br /><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Administrators%27_noticeboard/Mantanmoreland_ban_discussion#Proposed_community_ban_of_Mantanmoreland_and_Samiharris">The kangaroo court</a> was blood thirsty to see a fantastic editor hanged and was fanatical in its perverse quest to ruin Wikipedia. As Tony Sidaway's <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Anticipation_of_a_New_Lover%27s_Arrival%2C_The/Sandbox/Analysis/Naked_short_selling">evidence </a>proved <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Anticipation_of_a_New_Lover%27s_Arrival%2C_The/Sandbox/Analysis/Patrick_M._Byrne">conclusively</a>, Mantanmoreland is a great editor and has contributed remarkably to The Project. It was a gruesome spectacle and a sad day for Wikipedians. The <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fear%2C_uncertainty_and_doubt">FUDers</a> reign of terror is in full force.<br /><br />Even if the trolls did not succeed in their blood lust, they have succeeded by spreading their rhetoric, disinformation, and propaganda to good but weak minded people. Their <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Witch_hunt">witch hunts</a> are <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:Administrators%27_noticeboard/Mantanmoreland_ban_discussion&diff=prev&oldid=198346435">gaining in popularity</a>. That is the reason I have taken the responsibility to counter these trolls.<br /><br />Oh, and if you're wondering, I'm not about to reveal my Wikipedia ID so that some troll can call my sick grandmother at 4AM and ask her if <a href="http://wiki.answers.com/Q/Is_your_refrigerator_running">her refrigerator is running</a>.
