I have been called a stalker. *sob*
post by: Gator at: 18:16 | 59 comments
I used to think that guy was simply a narcissitic fruitcake, but now I'm convinced he's playing us all like a sphinctuba, seeing how big an asshole he can be before the entire site is united agianst him.

Oh, now I think I've had a MattGasm. Though, based on the last time a mod handed out a public chastisement to this character, I suspect it will be met with a very calm, "I have done nothing wrong" rebuttal.

Keep cool, Gator-ader... My research shows that solid-dumb-ass is the same person who recent claimed that David Letterman was stalking her.

look who it's coming from, gator--one of the most misnamed people there.

True dat, amber. This guy sets a new standard for assholedom. Compared to this guy ParisParamus is downright cuddly. I got into it with him when he called me a "sociopath" and ever since he's baited me in threads I wasn't even involved in. I tuned him out, but I'd be lying if I said I wasn't enjoying watching him get his comeuppance.

and now you're a tagteam, with seanyboy, gator.

jon, i want to tell you something important, but not publicly--check your email...

Some of us, I know, are suffering from holiday blues and/or private stressors, but some folk are just perpetually assy. Graaaah.

Ah, but at least the tirade against our beloved languagehat is no longer on his userpage. That really pissed me off when I saw that.

Tagteam Stalkers, The Sociopath, and The Social Fucking Retards -- the hottest new garage band in town.

On his userpage:
"I'm approaching the end of my participation on MeFi, at least in the blue and grey. I paid my five bucks to answer a question in AskMe, and it's mutated into some hydra-headed continual flamefest with social fucking retards."
Don't let the door...

Rothko can be a pain when he wants, but he's not even in the same ballpark with this SOL prick. Let's not drag other people into this.

Watch out seanyboy, I'm dangerous AND predatory, and I have a throbbing hard-on to stalk people who totally don't deserve it.
posted by Gator 29 December | 19:49
solid-one-love "...I predict Gator will continue to stalk me until he sates himself some other way." You go, Gator!
posted by ericb 29 December | 19:51
I've been in and out for a few days, what the heck is this about? Gator if you want to email me and let me know wtf is going on with solid-one-lump we can try to make sure he doesn't get [more] out of control. jessamyn lives-at gmail.

*Stalk* me baby. *Stalk* me good and proper.

Also... //Applauds bunnyfire.
posted by seanyboy 29 December | 19:55
jess, he does this with everybody. He'll parade into a thread with a broadstroked pronouncement and viciously attack anyone who challenges him. I ran into him in a thread about Karla Homolka and when I challenged him, he called me a "sociopath." Since then he's popped up in other threads where I wasn't even talking to him and baited me. He's done it with languagehat and others too.
posted by jonmc 29 December | 19:57
I really wish I didn't have to go to bed.
posted by seanyboy 29 December | 20:02
Yes, jessamyn, I have no relationship with s-o-l outside of MeFi, we have never emailed or communicated in any way off MeFi. About a month ago was the first time I ever even addressed him (I was lamely trying to defend languagehat from a false accusation). A few comments later I pointed out the previous fracas he'd been involved in (the Homolka thing with jonmc). At that point, he decided I was stalking him, and made a big production of putting me on his ignore list, and he made a couple of comments over the course of the next month where he would point out how I was being ignored. He has taken it from there to call me a dangerous predator who wants to hurt the little girl down the street.
posted by Gator 29 December | 20:08
oooh his updated userpage is from this afternoon.

I've written elsewhere that I don't consider this a community in any meaningful sense of the word


I think this is telling. He has no stake in improving the quality of discourse. Or, you know, having fun.

Hey. I just said that here.

Yeah, Wendell, I've never seen you quite like THAT before.

Oh, and thanks, Seanyboy! *blushes*

Never had a run-in with him till yesterday, but I will say he appears to have an ass-based fact-factory as well.

coniferous scrod. man, that's a nice turn of phrase!
posted by quonsar 29 December | 22:33
jonmc, why do you suspect sockpuppetry? I've never really noticed PareidoliaticBoy; a cursory look-see through his history seems to indicate he actually thinks other people are people and not beavers. Can you say?
posted by Gator 29 December | 22:39
look at the vocabulary. plus after my initial encounter with SOL, I went to his user page and blog. The locale and "real name" match up. as does the vocabulary and tone of the posters. Pariedolatic Boy went ballistic on me in a thread about a drug bust and his responses were very SOLish.

I guess I'm not seeing it, though admittedly I'm not looking too closely. The vocabulary, sure, but the names don't seem to match up (now, anyway), and PB seems to have demonstrated actual consideration for other non-beavers in AskMe and expressed wishes for civility in MeTa. I dunno, maybe I'm just slow.

I suppose it's too much to hope that bannination will commence.
posted by Gator 29 December | 23:14
I hate that fucking guy. I hope he does leave MeFi. And I hope he doesn't find out about this thread. He'd probably come pee in our pool.

That can't happen too soon, in my book. solid-one-love has brought nothing but grief to Mefi which, I'm sure, is what he intends.
posted by deborah 30 December | 02:09
You know, I think complaining about people in mecha is pretty much a come-on for them to start posting here.

Metachat has really been a highly self-selecting group in terms of members who want the choice to participate in a lighter, friendlier, more playful space when they feel like it, but discussing mefites (or others) you have a problem with is like putting a beacon in the window.

I know I sound scoldy about this stuff (which sucks), but here's the deal: this place isn't going to become a highly modded venue, so if you invite people in by posting about them here, you'll reap what you sow.

You can leave that stuff outside, and I imagine that we'll remain pretty much left to our own devices, or you can complain about people and expect them to show up and start participating... just don't be surprised then if the playhouse starts becoming a lot less fun.

right.
posted by Hat Maui 30 December | 05:29
My apologies, taz. It seemed to me I've seen a few such complaints here before, when something particularly frustrating was going on Over There, and I didn't think it would be out of line. Plus, it never occurred to me that the person in question would even be welcome here, given how he refuses to Play Nice and is proud of the fact.

May I buy everyone a Coke?

No coke please, I'll march for days.
posted by Hugh Janus 30 December | 08:58
Gator, I've posted frowny comments when it's happened before (in terms of talking about any specific person, especially), Here's why:

Talking about someone behind their back isn't fair

Mefi users shouldn't have to check in or register here just to keep track of whether anyone is talking about them.

Members discussing MeFi problems should do it at MeTa, where it may have some impact or persuasion; Matt doesn't check here, so it's really pointless.

The whole point of mecha is to offer something different than mefi/meta; it may seem like a more congenial atmosphere to do it, but that's only because, as a rule, we don't do it. If we did, we would be just as contentious and angry as MeTa often becomes.

And, as I've said, if users here choose to make this an arena for attacking other mefites, then they need to expect their victims to come here and carry on with the fighting. It's not a safe zone where you can talk about someone and expect that they will be blocked or chastised if they decide to answer back... So you're looking at a lot of tedious argument and nastiness heading this way if you (as a group) want to pursue this kind of discussion.
posted by taz 30 December | 09:16
I realize it's technically a warren, right? But wouldn't you prefer to call it a nest, and this group a clutch?

I know I would.
posted by Hugh Janus 30 December | 09:50
Yes, I agree. "Warren" reminds me too much of the Kennedy assassination, which I prefer to believe no bunny had any part of.
posted by taz 30 December | 10:14
Wait, the Zabruder film clearly shows a second bunny "foraging" on the grassy knoll.

That's no coincidence.
posted by Hugh Janus 30 December | 10:18
P!
posted by Hugh Janus 30 December | 10:24
Look closer; the eye placement is all wrong. That's a fake CIA "dumb bunny" planted there to deflect attention from the real culprit.
posted by taz 30 December | 10:29
That "real culprit" was outed years ago as a Chelonian agent sent to get dirt on the President's trysts with this filly. The CIA bird on the job eventually squawked, but she was a tough nut to crack.
posted by Hugh Janus 30 December | 10:47
lol.

I can't go on. The filly actually did me in.
posted by taz 30 December | 11:28
solid-one-love is an egomaniacal jerk. I started noticing his/her posts after s/he called me an idiot in an AskMe thread.

Everywhere s/he posts, about 9 times out of 10, it's to point out how stupid someone else is, and stroke his/her pimply, 14-year-old ego.
