There is an internet vandal who defaces Free Republic with very gross pictures (homosexual sex and stuff from rotton.com) as well as posting "ALL YOU F***** N*****S & JEWS SHOULD BE LYNCHED".
He pings a variety of people to his post, ensuring that the trash is still in their My Posts lists.
To me, this isn't the milder form of harassment that Eschoir engaged in so many years ago. The very worst he would do is ask if you ever committed sodomy, and he once used the screen name "Paula Jones Tw*t". This is mild.
What this sick piece of work is doing is much more egregious. I believe it crosses the line into criminal defacement and restraint of trade. Are there any Free Republic lawyers (especially prosecutors) who can address this issue, and are there any private detectives with internet savvy that will help track the identity of this person down?
Woah!
You guys find him?
(I just got here)
I looked back and did not save any of the pings.
Or we could code around the problem rather than wasting money on lawyers
Yuppers.
Zap, got him.
He will change his ways now that he is busted.
It appears that he inadvertently outed himself.
Well, that would be something to do while retaining a lawyer at the moment to deal with the current troll.
Take care of troll in such a way that he gets the message that indeed he shouldn't play with fire, while barring the doorway he came in through.
Good! Thanks for the input. I knew it looked familiar.
Rdb3 did a quick check.
Yeah, he outed himself with his ping list.
We are working on several fronts: One, we are pursuing a legal remedy against your computer defacement. Two, we are considering banding together to sue you civilly. And three, we are pursuing technological means to prevent your further criminal activity.
I agree, this punk wants to play games. This kid is so stupid he is playing with fire , and is going to get burned!
Got it.
LOL!
Got too clever for his own good it looks like!
NICE job!
(and thank you for the explanation you gave a few moments ago on how to spoof an ISP address! That's the second thing I have learned from you in two days! )
Furthermore, some judges impose such restrictions as "You are never allowed to work with computers again." Ask Kevin Mitnik about that. He had a promising career as a computer systems analyst. We don't know what he's doing today, but in ain't in the computer field.
You screwed up bigtime.
So are you going to talk?
You seem to like posting...
A little link to brush up on your reading comprehension. You will be caught, prosecuted, and you will go to jail. Yououted yourself with your ping list. If you stop trolling FR now, you will liekly 'get away', if you continue, you continue to give us more and more information about you with which we can find you, track you, and prosecute you.
The way those posts are worded:
using "u" for "you", etc....
it MIGHT be a kid! Or a very young "adult"
(and I use that term VERY loosely!)
Okay, little girl, are you going to reply?
I was thinking that as well.
