The originator of that site is Anthony G. Martin, who threaten to sue individual freepers. He was zotted as a result.

Anthony Martin got zotted for threatening legal action against individual FReepers.

Then he wrote a whiny blog post about it.

Then he was brutally mocked for it.

He’s a putz.

Ulsterman writes some good stuff, but it is FICTION.

I have always despised writers who pretend that their fiction is actual fact, and promote it as such. This goes back at least to Carlos Castaneda, and his fake "The Teachings of Don Juan."

I write fiction, but I mark it as FICTION. Authors who write fiction and pretend otherwise are sleazy liars. Even if their fiction reads well, and we'd like to believe it.

Anthony Martin is running the Ulsterman site? And he doesn’t want traffic?

Question: Is the Examiner aware of Martin’s antics, and why the heck is he allowed to be overflowing the web with nonverifiable bs while still retaining his Examiner flag?

I knew the Anthony Martin story, but didn’t know the connection to Ulsterman. I never did trust that information, now I know why. Thanks!

[Admin Moderator]

Thanks.

Anthony Martin's FR screen name was Welshman007. And then Ulsterman? Hardly a coincidence. Martin used to reference Ulsterman all the time in his columns.

And if you Google 'Ulsterman fraud', you'll see plenty of instances where Ulsterman just makes stuff up.

We don't need frauds telling us how bad Obama is. The truth suffices.

The Examiner will let anybody write anything.

Picky they are not.

Loaded with cookies, trackers, beacons and virulent bugs they are.

The Examiner will let anybody write anything.

You will never find a more wretched hive of scum and villainy.

I did not know this, I do now.

Isn't this the same guy who came on FR, pompously and hilariously always referring to himself as “Internet Powerhouse Andy Martin,” who became furious because he was mocked for same but still felt entitled to use FR to troll for hits to his own highly derivative articles that appeared to have been gleaned from comments posted to FR? That guy?

“Ulstermann” always did seem to be a little too conveniently touting “inside” information that agreed a little too well with prevailing sentiment on any given hotbutton issue here on FR. I guess he got over himself long enough to realize that he was quite rightly viewed as an idiotic opportunist and developed a new persona to pursue the same end, which was trolling FR for hits.

If anyone ever wonders why FR can seem a little hostile to bloggers at times, you can thank this individual first and foremost, and others like him. It's as if he believed that we owe him a livelihood, that we exist to pad his numbers with Google AdSense, lol.

That’s pretty extremist for you

[dinoparty]

I have no desire to post his stuff on FR especially after these instructions. That said, I am not on board with the apparent certainty on this board that his stuff is fiction. Its true that he provides no substantive evidence about the identities of the various informants, but I must say that the stuff from the informants is actually quite sophisticated and I could believe that it comes from real insiders.

[Anti-Bubba182]

Ulsterman is a yarn spinner, a purveyor of tall tails and cryptic horse manure. People who should know better are reeled in.

[BipolarBob]

Fiction? Fiction? Matus, the Yaqui "Man of Knowledge" lives.

Thanks Admin Moderator.

[shibumi]

I think we nominated Andy Martin for the “Warner Todd Huston Inflated Ego Award” one year, didn’t we?

[RegulatorCountry]

Yep.

I Googled IPAM to see what powerful conservative derring-fu he’s up to these days.

Guess what, he’s running for President, lol. I’d post a link to the Wordpress site, but I’m not sure it’s kosher.

[humblegunner]

I can’t remember, all bloviating blowhard boneheaded bloggers look alike to me.
