Hi Geordie.
Sorry to read that you've apparently suffered real-world nutty attention for your views, but I'm glad it wasn't as bad as the kind I've suffered in the past where someone who was losing a debate with me online, used knowledge of my identity to track me down and my employment and then tried to get me fired from my job and as it was a politically sensitive Government job, an obligitory investigation was instigated which cost me shift penalties for the duration along with causing considerable inconvenience and annoyance ... but at least when I was ButOfCourse exonerated, there was then recourse for my employers to push back the other way against the frivolous complaint and the perjerous scum who chose to do such a cowardly and disgusting thing.
No small wonder that I tend to protect the IDs of my loved ones and no small wonder I prefer using the word "internut" over "internet" ... especially when it comes to describing the cowardly antics of thugs and morons sniping forth from behind anonymity and nicks, and also why I prefer to not allow comments on my main blog.
Allowing them on the blog dedicated to my posts to the whirlpool ILCF thread has earned me the following abuse from whirlpool forum users though:

Nice move with the subtle cultivating of the idea that I'd be the kind of guy to deliver some sort of cowardly anon attack/abuse upon someone and in the offline world at that - I didn't figure you to be THAT much of a pragmatist, but hey, at least I know where I stand with you now. :)
Anyway, for the sake of the record, here is a sample of my voice to compare to your recording. http://derspatz.webng.com/sweet.htm
I deem this whim (just like with all others I send) to be public domain and as such it shall be added to http://derblatz.blogspot.com/ for the sake of keeping an open record.

Hi Derspatz,
ReplyDeleteI won't be downloading your voice sample or comparing anything. You are no doubt technically competent to confirm this via IP logs. I suggest you remove the link as your voice sample is private information that you perhaps should not publish.
Even if I thought you were the type to do such a thing (which is not the case), it's a police matter and I in no way deliberately asserted anyone's responsibility for it.
There are obviously several people through this debate whom I disagree with, even though I understand their perspective. Admittedly, I have more trouble seeing your perspective or sympathising with the way you articulate your points, but I would under no circumstances accuse you of being responsible for what occured.
With regards to my particular secret admirer, they are a nutcase. Online or off does not matter. There is no internut, there are no internuts. There are just nuts. Ever was it thus, and so it will continue.
Keep well.
Geordie Guy
Cheers for the response Geordie.
ReplyDeleteA note to any who choose to visit either this blog or my main blog at derspatz.blogspot.com or my webpage at derspatz.webng.com is that I *do not* employ the use to IP loggers or page visit counters of any kind.
Ironically enough I'm actually just plain neither vain enough nor interested enough to care if anyone actually visits or where they might visit from.
Either way, when it doubt, it is easy enough to instruct your web-browser to block calls to common page logger url inclusions (I do) so I suggest you look up those methods (google is your friend) and apply accordingly anyway.
Say NO to web-page visit IP logging ! :)
