Freedom of Speech (Just watch what you say)

This Post has been appended; scroll down for edit

I guess this all started here. And here. And here. And here.

EDIT: and everything ends here.

Yup. That's right. 3 or more people decided to devote 4 posts over 2 blogs to bashing teenage boys (newsflash: most of us do what you did every day, but we find better things to post about). The funny thing is, they didn't really outwit him. They just ganged up and decided that they had defeated a *gasp* couple of kids. And they keep patting each other on the back for it. You can see that in their posts. I also saw some of them bragging about it in the SB.

Ahh, yes. The SB. This person used to frequent the SB, until they voiced an "unpopular opinion". Rachel is an admin at a blog traffic site that you and I may or may not use. You can read of her exploits with "the other" Carrie here.

Anyways, back to the SB. One day, I'm just chillin' in the SB, Tapeworm style, and i see this: (click the pics for a larger image)



Yes, the admin for this system is saying that. I admire that kind of professionalism.

Oh yeah, I started this post by trying to make a point. I was sick of hearing about what they did to 2 kids. I was blogsurfing, and just happened to come across that blog that definitely does talk way too much. The 4th post of them getting together and bashing people (much less than) half their age was too much for me. I said what I had to say (which you've already seen if you followed my links in the first place). Funny how I never mentioned a specific person. In fact, the first generalization I made can be applied to much of the blogosphere. Ok, I lied. The second one I made was directed at a specific person.

For some reason, Rachel decided to make this a matter that involved the blog service we have in common. She comes into the SB and announces "TicklesTapeworm what the hell is your problem?" I remember well what happened to buddhadharma, so I didn't let Rachel goad me into getting myself banned. I replied with something close to "lol, yeah, this is the best forum to discuss that. I don't have email or my own blog or anything". She really had no choice but to agree with me. Still, she had to be right, and insisted that I had brought up that comment I made in the SB (the closest I came to that was mentioning that I might have some new "friends" that night, which proved to be true ;) ).

I wanted to see if I had done anything wrong, and wanted to protect myself from getting into trouble in the future. I had simply asked for a link to see the Terms of Service, because I wasn't able to find it from the main page. This is the response I get:



So, first she threatens me and ends it with a smiley, insults me, and then lectures someone for stereotyping others. This is definitely a woman I want running my services.

Then, back at that blog that talks way too much, I see that they've decided to bring my girlfriend into it. And they're calling me gay. These gals just ooze maturity.

Remember how Rachel said she was going to stop people from winning any blog battles? She wasn't kidding.



Hmm. web divas, cherry, toomuch, biologisvensk. All of Rachel's little pals. I find it somewhat fishy that Rachel, cherry, toomuch and web divas hadn't voted in any of the previous blog battles, and they didn't vote in any battles afterwards either. It's just too bad that toomuch wasn't bright enough to vote for the right person, and inadvertently caused that beautiful blogger Carrie (my Carrie) to win. You know you suck when you can't even cheat right.

Oddly enough, I saw people from AZ, NV, and NJ on mine and Carrie's blogs for much of the evening. I have no idea what the person from NJ is lurking here for, because I really didn't include them in the comment I made at that talky blog. They were involved in the initial incident, but at least had the good sense to blog about something besides talking down to kids.

It gets better.

Sometime around 8:30 PM PST, someone managed to get Carrie's blog password, logged into her account, and deleted her blog. It just so happens that Carrie's blog password *used to be* the same as the one she used on the aforementioned blog service. It also just so happens that an admin with access to Carrie's info was mad at me (or us). I'll let you do the math on that one yourself. I find it odd that someone from AZ was the last person on her blog before it got deleted...

By the way, you may notice that Carrie's blog is up. Thank god for backed up posts.

So I go back to the SB to kill time while Carrie fixes the blog. You can see the events that transpired in the following photos.



See? Not everyone in the SB hates me. Or do they...



I love how she throws that figure at me. And how many of those 35,000 are SB regulars? I know bandy and PureMood are...

And this is pretty much where we're at now. I haven't been suspended yet, nor do I care to be. I like this blog service, but one of their admins is making my experience less than enjoyable. I plan to re-enter the battles with this post. Hopefully I can open up someone else's eyes.

You might ask "Tickles, why don't you just report it to the blog service?" Well, I'll tell you why. It doesn't do much good to complain when the person you're complaining about handles the complaints. :D

EDIT: It has since come to my attention that Rachel says the day of the battle and final shoutbox threat she only logged in to approve blogs. Who entered her in the battle then? And who was that in the SB? I'd really like to know.





If she was only approving blogs that night, why was she spending so much time on Carrie's blog, through 2 browsers, right up until the point it went down/was deleted? Again, I'd like to know.

A Gmail/Google Talk game... OR "Let the Hate flow through you."

So I hear that the only way to use GoogleTalk is to have a Gmail. I'm going to exploit this event to get rid of the invites that have grown putrid and vomitrescent from lack of use. I've got plenty. And they can now be yours. With one slight stipulation...

I want you to make a comment about the person you hate the most. I'd appreciate that you be as detailed as possible. Not with info about that person you hate; naming them is optional. I just want you to tell me why you hate them. Even better, I'd like you to tell me how you'd like to express your hatred to that person. Would you torture them to death slowly, or would you just like to tell them you're angry? I want to know this, and I will reward you.

If the gmail invite is of no consequence to you, then name your price. I will see if I can fulfill your request.

After you agree to our pact, I can give you your invite 3 ways:
A: You can email me (left, in the sidebar or profile)
B: You can IM me, and tell me where you want it sent (once again, in the sidebar or proflie).
C: I can post a link to the invite (but someone might snatch it before you do, and then you'll have to talk about your 2nd most hated person).

The Question on Everyone's Mind...

"So TicklesTapeworm what the hell is your problem?"

Troll Captured Killed

You mess with the bull; you get the horns. You mess with the Tapeworm; you get it up the ass.

Some little fool thought it would be fun to make a blog about getting ass raped, and then started posting comments on other people's blogs goading them into a fight. Well, this parasite is down to brawl.

She(he) thought it would be funny to come over to Carrie's blog and start talking some smack. 5 minutes later, the little bitch thought she was going to do it again. Bad idea. Once can be forgotten, twice earns the wrath of them nunchuks, yo.

We looked over the piece of shit blog, and all the comments were from people annoyed with the trolling and spamming. Funny thing was, there was actually one idiot who bought the BS associated with the blog, and tried sticking up for the writer. The reason I'm telling you this is because that little fucktard decided to remove all comments this morning.

Why, might you ask?

Let me tell you. "Penelope" isn't smart enough to know what sitetrackers are. If Penelope was smart, she never would have come back to Carrie's blog. The first time, we couldn't nail down the IP; she was blog battling. There were at least 5 people on the site, so we took a few guesses to which "Penelope" might be. But, as with all trolls, "Penelope" couldn't stay away. Commented again, and this time was the only visitor to the site. That's right; BUSTED. We then knew the ISP and where it was coming from.

If you read the most recent post from "Penelope", she mentions a "mean person" who invaded her privacy. Well, that mean person is me :D "Penelope" claims to be in San Diego, yet her ISP is telus.net, located in , Edmonton, Alberta, Canada. Hmm. The blog itself is all I needed to know it's all just a bullshit prank, but the IP was the proof that put it over the top.

I left an anon comment there, stating how odd that someone claiming to be living in California is using an ISP way up north. I asked if "Penelope" would like me to share her IP with all the others that had been harassed over the past 2 or so weeks.

Wouldn't you know, less than an hour later, all comments had been removed from her blog. Coincedence? I think not.

Luckily, I had already visited those blogs that she had trolled the worst. Once again, I commented anon. only this time, my message looked something like this...

"since Penelope has so cleverly removed the comments from her blog, I'll give you her(his) IP address.

d198-166-27-15.abhsia.telus.net

Report any complaints you may have to telus.net or help.blogger.com"



Looks like "Penelope" closed up shop, so (hopefully), thus marks the death of another troll.

And what does Penelope have to say about all of this?

"You are a mean person... I feel so sad about this."

Really? Cause I'm fucking ecstatic about it.

(Thanks to Danielle for inspiration for the post title and picture ;) )

You can read more about Penelope's escapades here and here.

Before you go and accuse me of attacking an innocent rape victim, ponder this. If Penelope wasn't commenting anywhere, then why did she shit herself when this info came to light? The IP I grabbed was from the commenter, not from her blog. Penelope = huge steaming pile of bullshit ;)

The Great Went

I'm as blank as a fart. As soon as I can come up with something worth posting, I swear I'll do it.

Until then, click all my links and shit. Come on, don't be a wuss. There's a shitload of 'em. Click something.

Especially that sexy, alluring, busty donation button. You know you want to. You owe it to me. I've been stealing other peoples pictures and links and jokes and ideas for months and months, and you bastards haven't shown one bit of monetary gratitude ('cept for Uncle Jizzle). I need your money more than you do.

I've noticed that quite a few folks are interested in some horse on man action. Well folks, hurry up and donate while it's legal. They haven't passed any legislation yet, so if you dolts cough up enough cash, I'll take a horse dong in the pooper and get it on tape for ya. I've taken some mighty dumps in my life, so I feel I'm up to the challenge.
