Sooo …. ok. Now I’m a Drama Queen, according to a former admin of Firestorm Forum. What brought this on you might ask? It appears that me being missing in action for a couple of weeks from my forum and online in general caused Breezie to get her panties in a bunch and quit the esteemed position of administrator. Cool. No problemo. I really don’t need any mods there anyway. I can spare the 10 minutes per day that it takes me to moderate the forum. I guess some people volunteer for positions such as this because they like the special title and all those little flames under their name but get all resentful if called upon to actually do anything other than shoot the breeze and promote their stuff.

As soon as I was unavailable due to personal crisis, this little back stabber took it upon herself to post that the Comment Storm had been moved to here … here being her own forum. She and a handful of others were actively engaged in enticing my members to abandon my forum in favor of hers. Completely lacking in innovation and originality, probably due to the lack of gray matter generally found in a horses’ ass, Breezie created a rather poor copy of my marketing forums and even went so far as to call “her” Comment Storm … yep, you guessed it … Comment Storm. Wow! Kudos to Breezie for coming up with that great name.

So what prompted the title of Drama Queen bestowed upon me by the Queen of Mediocrity?

I returned from my personal crisis to find all this going on in the forum and promptly deleted the accounts of the offenders. When confronted by a member, I made my explanation about the crisis that took me away from the forum for a short while, hence, the Drama Queen post in her forum. lol … give me a fu*king break. No sooner do I post about my crisis than she starts a huge thread in her forum bemoaning her aches and pains and allergies … oh my, poor poor poor little Breezie.

The hot topic in their forum now is what a big meanie I am for making fun of poor little back-stabbing, copycatting Breezie. It simply doesn’t occur to any of them that attempting to sabotage my forum during my absence is really creepy and not very nice.  They are perfectly fine with recruiting members away from a forum to join their own forum as long as it is them doing it.

When they recently discovered that I was inviting their members to join my forum, Julie says:

Interesting…before I left there, I sent emails to the few people that I really liked inviting them here, and she got all bent out of shape and posted a nasty blog post about Breezie on her blog…yet she turns around and does the same thing? (of course she’s lieing about just emailing a few friends. They had links all over the forum to try to get my members to jump ship.)

Well duh, Julie and Bree … What did you expect. When tables are turned … they don’t like it very much … lol.  Too bad Breezie and Jules … you set the standard. I invite any of that forum’s members to check out Firestorm Forum and see the difference for yourself.

So Breezie… I hereby bestow upon you the well-deserved horses’ ass award.

While Entrecard’s great Firestorm debacle is now over, the shananigans continue, and now that Lee Doyle is no longer a moderator at Entrecard, he is now the official Entrecard Pet Troll.

We were having a “nudity on Entrecard” debate in the forums and it was pretty lively. One chic decided to make it personal and started flaming and making some personal attacks … she was banned from using the forums, the thread was closed (as so many of Entrecard threads are) and that was the end of the story … until …..

Enter Entrecard’s Pet Troll, Lee Doyle

He wasn’t happy I suppose with how quiet things were so he opened up a thread that was thinly disguised as being about Internet Personas. (The banned chic was using some pretty hot abs as her avatar and sort of implied they were her abs). The thread was actually started to slam the chic who was banned and to further embarrass her about her little ab indiscretion … and of course, Entrecard permitted this little illiterate troll to continue with it until several of us … ahem … called him on his shit.

Then, all of a sudden … yep, you guessed it. Thread closed. Not only was it closed, but it disappeared completely from the face of the earth, like it never existed. They don’t do that to all of the threads that they close …. just the threads of their Pet Troll, Lee Doyle.

I did, of course save some screenshots when the douchebag, Lee Doyle attempted to say that it was just a thread about Personas, and not meant to slam the chic who was banned…

Because it was such a blatant lie.

Click Here to See It

You can plainly see that his first post hinted at the Persona debacle thread … it was ignored so he got a whole lot more personal on the second post. He then flits over to another blog to say how happy he is that the chic was outed. Lee … you’re such a gossipy little girly boy.

In yet another stunning Lee Doyle Troll moment, he posted a post titled

Ugliest person on Facebook EVER!!!!!! (Entrecard User)

He then uncharacteristically dropped his Entrecard on all of the people on Entrecard that he hates to try to bait them into looking at his latest post (which was stolen from a very popular Digg post, by the way).  The post tells you to log into Facebook and then come back and view his post.  It is a script, so if you have a Facebook account, it will show your profile pic that you use for Facebook … so actually, everyone who reads it and logs into Facebook appears to be the ugliest person on Facebook Ever.   By itself, the post would have been a funny prank, but he showed his hand by baiting people he dislikes, and then using the Entrecard Post Critique forum to promote it.  While he claimed it wasn’t aimed at anyone, we all know that he only dropped cards on those he dislikes so that at least one of us would think it was about us.

Hahahaha! I knew someone would jump in and think it was some personal attack

When called on his crap once again, he responds

Cant i drop now? I have a drop list that i always use… you have been on it since the start. It is a old list of Turnips and a mix of U DROP I FOLLOW.  I only drop a few times a month now…. Ill remove you if you like.

He then goes off twittering gleefully to tell the world about his little prank.  What a silly little troll.

Lee Doyle on Twitter

@leedoyle I dont think ive owned someone like this for years! Hello Cow!

@[edited out] BAHAHAHAH! Check the EC forums
@[edited out] im sure ill get some nasty comments from this about 16 hours ago from TwitterFox in reply to [edited out]

@[edited out] It will be worth it Everyone has a facebook! I thought you needed one to get online these days about 16 hours ago from TwitterFox in reply to [edited out]

In yet another stunning revelation, it appears that the Founder of the U Drop I Follow movement, none other than Lee Doyle, rarely ever drops his Entrecard, except when attempting to bait people he dislikes into a flamewar.

I only drop a few times a month now

So much for the U Drop I Follow movement.  The Founder himself scams everyone in believing that if they drop their Entrecard on him, he will return the favor.  Why Lee, Why? … How could you?

Entrecard continues to love and support their little pet troll, allowing him to live in their dark and dingy basement with the freedom to crawl out at will and troll their forums.  You can clearly see the devastating effects of this in this shocking screenshot of the Entrecard forums:

I can see having empathy for the mentally handicapped and all, but to make this particular incredibly stupid little troll your personal house pet … tsk tsk Entrecard. You would do better with a maggot.

From Encyclopedia Dramatica

DSM fanboys and fangirls are hard at work on the fifth edition of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, due to be published some time so far from now the year will be in Stardate form. The most exciting announcement of the American Psychiatric Association so far is the inclusion of Internet troll personality disorder to the already impressive number of mental disorders.

Origins

Trolls have existed from the early days of the Internet and Usenet. Before them were the oracles, wizards, scientists, illuminati members, prophets, and natural leaders. Regular and fluid social interaction has kept such people in check, holding them back by fear and thus preventing these positive traits from manifesting. Fortunately, the anonymity the Internet offers has paradoxically allowed people to show their true selves, with less brainwashing from social institutions.

Thechisa theorizes that ITPD is a mutant strain of the otherkin fixation, and on some subconscious level its rabid afflicted believe themselves to be actual mythical trolls. There may be some truth to this, as their tendency to also be basement-dwelling nerds approximates the living conditions found underneath a bridge.

Diagnostic Criteria

The Internet Troll Personality Disorder is characterized by attention-seeking and disruptive behavior in anonymous, delocalized places of socializing. It is indicated by the following traits:

• A tendency to make the most useful, interesting comments.
• An 18 charisma score that draws the attention of users toward them.
• The ability to create ideas that flow from person to person nonstop until they have made everyone spend their time in the troll’s valuable communique.
• Such a brilliant command of social engineering, that the troll can trick others into fighting amongst themselves on the internet endlessly. (i.e. crossposting to two opposing usenet groups, tricking them into starting a flame war, then sitting back and watching the fun)
• High intelligence (16 or higher)
• High degree of social skills IRL.
• Uses multiple usernames as sock puppets (the more the better)
• Establishes dominance in a community by using multiple usernames

Treatment

Researchers have experimented with everything from shock therapy to furry  p o r n  to castration to treat Internet troll personality disorder with no success. The psychodynamics of this personality disorder indicated that constant asswhooping may be the best treatment. Getting the research sample group out of their respective mothers’ basements was difficult, and removing the hamburger and french fries from their hands and mouths was nearly impossible, but a little sunshine and exercise did these creatures good. After being taught the essentials of hygiene and manners, the trolls were ready for the treatment: women who really like to have sex. Within one week, the severity of the disorder was diminished for every patient, and within three months the patients were all symptom free. But once the ex-trolls looked up from their cubicles and saw how boring they had become, they all committed hara kiri, the Japanese form of suicide designed to restore one’s honor after shame.

Current research is investigating the possibility of a relapse into disordered personality function if the patient does not get laid in the ass, furry-style. For those pitiful cases who cannot keep a girlfriend, researchers are considering the role prostitutes may play in treatment.

Let’s play a little Where’s Waldo game.  Check out this thread and see if you can spot the troll

flame ~ n. insulting criticism or remark meant to incite anger

Flame wars are constantly raging! Well, don’t let them get you down, Bunky! Help is on the way! Just read the following and you will be armed to the teeth with strategies that really work. Veni Vidi Vici - you don’t ever have to lose a flame war again!

The following was found on the Cornell University Web Server
~ Author Unknown

The Golden Rule of Flaming

Flames should be witty, insulting, interesting, funny, caustic, or sarcastic, but NEVER, EVER, should they be boring.

The Twelve Commandments of Flaming

1. Make things up about your opponent: It’s important to make your lies sound true. Preface your argument with the word “clearly.” Example: “Clearly, Fred Flooney is a liar, and a dirtball to boot.”

2. Be an armchair psychologist: You’re a smart person. You’ve heard of Freud. You took a psychology course in college. Clearly, you’re qualified to psychoanalyze your opponent. Example: “Polly Purebread, by using the word ‘zucchini’ in her posting, shows she has a bad case of p e n i s  envy.”

3. Cross-post your flames: Everybody on the ‘Net is just waiting for the next literary masterpiece to leave your terminal! From the Apple II Roundtable to X-10 Powerhouse Roundtable, they’re all holding their breath until your next flame. Therefore, post everywhere.

4. Conspiracies abound: If everybody’s against you, the reason can’t possibly be that you’re a sh**head. There’s obviously a conspiracy against you, and you will be doing the entire ‘Net a favor by exposing it.

5. Lawsuit threats: This is the reverse of Rule #4 (sort of like the Yin & Yang of Flaming). Threatening a lawsuit is always considered to be in good form. Example: “By saying that I’ve posted to the wrong group, Bertha has libeled me, slandered me, and s o d o m i z e d  me. See you in court, Bertha.”

6. Force them to document their claims: Even if Harry Hoinkus states outright that he likes tomato sauce on his pasta, you should demand documentation. If Newsweek hasn’t written an article on Harry’s pasta preferences, then Harry’s obviously lying.

7. Use foreign phrases: French is good, but Latin is the lingua franca of Flaming. You should use the words “ad hominem” at least three times per article. Other favorite Latin phrases are “ad nauseum,” “veni, vidi, vici,” and “fettuccini alfredo.”

8. Tell ‘em how smart you are: Why use intelligent arguments to convince them you’re smart when all you have to do is tell them? State that you’re a member of Mensa, or Mega, or Dorks of America. Tell them the scores you received on every exam since high school. Example: “I got an 800 on my SATs, LSATs, GREs, MCATs, and I can also spell the word ‘premeiotic’.”

9. Accuse your opponent of censorship: It is your right as an American citizen to post whatever the hell you want to the ‘Net (as guaranteed by the 37th Amendment, I think). Anybody who tries to limit your cross-posting or move a Flame War to email is either a communist, a fascist, or both.

10. Doubt their existence: You’ve never actually seen your opponent, have you? And since you’re the center of the universe, you should have seen them by now, shouldn’t you? Therefore, THEY DON’T EXIST! This is the beauty of Flamers’ logic.

11. Lie, cheat, steal, leave the toilet seat up.

12. When in doubt, insult: If you forget the other 11 rules, remember this one. At some point during your wonderful career as a Flamer you will undoubtedly end up in a Flame War with somebody who is better than you. This person will expose your lies, tear apart your arguments, and make you look generally like a bozo. At this point, there’s only one thing to do . . . INSULT THE DIRTBAG! Example: “Oh yeah? Well, your mother does strange things with vegetables.”

EXAMPLE REPLY POST . . . for the Rookie Flamer

>Dear Joe,

I object to your use of the word “dear.” It shows you are a condescending, sexist pig. Also, the submissive tone you use shows that you like to be tied down and flagellated with licorice whips.

>While I found your article “The Effect of Belly-Button Lint
>on Western Thought” to be extremely thought-provoking,

“Thought-provoking?” I had no idea you could think, you rotting piece of swamp slime.

>it really shouldn’t have been posted in rec.scuba.

What? Are you questioning my judgment? I’ll have you know that I’m a member of the super-high-IQ Society Menstruate. I got an 800 on my PMS exam.

Your attempts constitute nothing less than censorship. There is a conspiracy against me. You, Riff Raff, and Simon Sinister have been constantly harassing me by email. This was an ad hominem attack! I have therefore cross-posted this to alt.flame, rec.nude, comp.graphics, and rec.arts.wobegon.

>Perhaps you should have posted it in misc.misc.

It is my right, as granted in the Bill of Rights, the Magna Carta, the Bible, and the Koran, to post where ever I want to. Or don’t you believe in those documents, you damned fascist? Perhaps if you didn’t spend so much time sacrificing virgins and infants to Satan, you would have realized this.

>Your article would be much more appropriate there.

Can you document this? I will only accept documents notarized by my attorney, and signed by you in blood. Besides, you don’t really exist anyway, you AI project, you.

Graham left some comments on the Good Golly Graham post, so in response to those, this post was going to be about Country Clubs and such.

I guess in an effort to appease people and quiet the storm, he started a new thread in Community, called “Step right up and criticize Entrecard!” Basically it turned into a huge wish list of forum features and site features, a post more obviously suited for the Features and Suggestions forum. I call it the Free Candy thread.. To be fair, he did issue an apology and owned up to mishandling this ordeal and for that I give him credit where credit is due. Graham is very young, and who in their lives hasn’t made some colossal boo boos?

But, let me ask you people … what good is a state of the art, full featured forum where you don’t feel comfortable sharing ideas and opinions? It’s just software, and a great forum is not just software. It is the personalities, opinions, humor, cat fights … the people … that make a forum either great or not.

Step right up and criticize Entrecard!

In the end, its up to us who’s in and who’s out. Kind of like a country club. So if your local golf club won’t let you in because you walk up to everyone on the course telling them how much the golf course sucks, there’s no way they’re going to let you in. It’s common sense. But oh no! That golf course would be censoring opinion! Gasp! Graham Langdon

This is the first time I’ve ever heard the term “radical freedom of expression” … not to mention the implication that getting banned for speaking your opinions doesn’t happen at Entrecard and if you do get banned, you must have done something to take the system down or steer it away from its proper path … yeah, like voicing your opinion in the Entrecard forums.

… so, when you feel like some really crazy, radical free expression, there’s a forum that many of us have found where we can get together and just toss any old crap that’s on our minds.

Lee Doyle made an attempt at an apology on his blog today. Stan of Fantasy Baseball pointed it out in the Community thread … and it quickly became the only thread with any real conversation going on.

The tension was so thick you could cut it with a knife and it is pretty apparent that the first attempt at Kumbaya failed rather dismally, although a pretty lively cheesy discussion of  Cheese and Cheetos ensued.

It appears that the consensus is that most of us like cheese with one notable forum deviate expressing a love for Cheetos with Hot Cheeze Whiz.  Disgusting … truly disgusting.  I find it significant and possibly even sinister that Graham Langdon refused to weigh in on the Cheetos issue.  That is just so typical.

Sam Freedom has made a sudden reappearance, just when the Entrecard Community Forum was about to renamed Snoozeville. In an obviously contrived post, and completely out of character, Sam Freedom got all nicey nice.

Hi everybody, I’m just welcoming me back. I’ve been away a little while… just got a little busy with familial matters and was wishfully waiting for a couple of juveniles to leave the system but otherwise, things are fine.

So nice to see so many new Entrecarders! I’m excited for all of you because I have no doubts about just how powerful Entrecard not only IS, but how powerful it is going to BE.

Graham is a monster visionary and no matter what happens or where it goes, it’s going to be a lot of fun to be on the Entrecard boat ride…

Three cheers for Entrecard and welcome back to me,

Sam

ps. Of those of you who have joined in the past 2-3 months, what are some of the positive experiences you’ve had with Entrecard so far?

Lol … Graham … really, if you’re going to beg or hire someone to liven up your deadsville forum, at least ask them to make it real … instead of this contrived Entrecard Marketing 101 BS. Come on guy …get an imagination. And Sam … can the marketing hype Dude… ra ra Entrecard. Where’s the usual aggressive, ego-maniacal, hostile, sensationalism that we’ve all come to expect?

Graham Langdon, The Terminator

Apparently, Graham Langdon doesn’t care for satire, humor, Freedom of Speech, thoughts and ideas … good golly, who knows what else.  Shortly after The Mad Cow Report was published, this blog was removed from Entrecard.  No explanation or even mention of why, but I can only assume that blaming Graham for the abuses of power in his Forum is against TOS or something.

You can in fact state your disdain for George Bush, the Pope, or God forbid … Google and still be an Entrecard blog in good standing, but Holy Moly … don’t say bad things about the Entrecard founder, Graham Langdom.  My gosh, gee willikers … I’ve really crossed the line.

You Can Even Be a Splog

You can even be a completely useless splog or credit farm (site built for the sole purpose of accumulating the overpriced Entrecredits) without a single shred of content and still find a home at Entrecard. Read the rest of this entry »

The following is a guest post by Dot Com Mogul and does not represent the opinions of Firestormed …. wait … uh … I am Dot Com Mogul.  Ok, scratch the disclaimer.

The Mad Cow Reports

There’s been a lot of bashing of Lee Doyle lately, and rightly so.  He obviously came barging into Firestorm when all was relatively peaceful and started deleting threads and abusing the members there.  Call it penile dysfunction, a condition where those poor souls who are “less endowed” attempt to compensate with abuse of power.  Whatever … enough about this sad, illiterate weenie.

OK Dot Com, Who’s To Blame?

I blame the site owner, Graham, who has been relatively silent throughout the entire ordeal, but who obviously calls the shots and sets the tone at Entrecard.  Don’t think for a minute he was oblivious to what was going on.  He IS the puppet master.  In his attempt at having an artificial, contrived sense of love and peace between all bloggers, he allowed the heavy-handed moderation, censorship, and the abuse of long-standing members with opposing opinions.  From his latest statement, it is clear that none of that will change.

The Monkey Reports

The following is a guest post by Monkey Tales, and is a fictional interview with Lee Doyle, Moderator at Entrecard.

The Monkey

I was fortunate to snare an interview with Lee Doyle, just earlier today, on the controversy surrounding him and his role in Entrecard. I’d like to thank him for taking the time to do this. When you’re a two-faced, scheming bastard there is very little time to spare in the day for interviews. His hope is that this interview will cast him in a different light and that he can make friends with all the enemies he has accumulated over the last couple of weeks.

(Uh, fat chance, but who am I to deny him his delusions, huh? I’m just here to ask the questions, and record his answers.)

Let’s get this train wreck rolling: Read the rest of this entry »
