Blog of many Trades is devoted to blogging about ASDs. I am for ideas, not groups. I throw in with no one. Harassment, libel, and threats of legal action have put the blog on hold. Currently, this blog has enacted comment moderation. There is no guarantee that your comments will get through, and I check whenever I'm on, which is infrequent.

Harassment

Due to the lack of apology over what happened here, from the man who orchestrated a group of people who forced the blog into a temporary and rolling hiatus, as well as Comment Moderation lock-down, I have one or two things to say.

First, I take the lack of any meaningful response from any of the posters and especially the stance taken by the person who brought the attack about, I am accepting that this means that the person responsible for the attack, and those directly involved, condoned, condone, and will continue to condone the actions on this blog, specifically the disgusting insults, acknowledgements of harassments, threats of harassment, the harassment itself, and the manner of the harassment at it's worst.

This means that all parties involved in the attack on this blog aided and abetted the actions that took place here. Email records transmitted automatically and directly from the blog are back-ups for the comments themselves. The person behing the attacks is one **** ******, of Australia. The main culprit, aided and abetted by the others, is known only by his screen-name, Borusa, and is a friend of the main perpetrator. The attack was carried out in order to coerce me into silence, and a gag order was later filed against me after this attempt at coercion failed, a mockery of law in my opinion.

Comment Moderaton remains up, and will likely not come down for some time.

An apology is wanted from me, by the person who orchestrated the attack, for actions I took, which, under the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms, are legally sound, valid, and within the law. The actions taken by this person are not legal, valid, or within the law. Therefore, this person has not apologized since then, and I take it as my right to assume that they have no intent on apologizing(until I have apologized, which I will not be doing, due to the nature of my actions, and due to the actions taken against me by this person). Since a great deal of time has passed since the harassment, with no apology, no expression of regret, and continued provocation and harassment, I will now state that this person is hostile towards me, and as such, is writing articles and commenting about me with no regard to my emotional state or wellbeing, and with the intent to inflict psychoogical and emotional pain. This harassment has been occurring since mid-july of 2007, and evidence to prove this, as well as the original article, and other relevant and pertinent information, has been destroyed by his person, and has left very little evidence.

The accusations of what I need to apologize for are also without grounds. The reasoning is backwards, and has to do with rights which he assumed he had on this blog, which he did not, including profanity, hate speech, and ironically, harassment.

More may be coming to this post in the future, and changes may be made. Nothing here is finalised. If you wish to discuss the material in this, you may post in the comments. I request that those posting anonymously use the "Other" option and make up a name, to avoid any confusion. If you are one of those mentioned in the post, feel free to vent as hard as you want, as I will delete any comments with excessive profanity, excessive insults, or any other content which is not acceptable.

I noticed that you have a link on the E.D article to this blog

I think this is where BikerGanag came from

I have also noticed that you were the one that posted the link from Phil's world onto E.D and started a whole fiasco with them.

I know what I did was wrong but I cannot help but say I am dissapointed.

Joeker said...

Started? Nope. I just brought their "Aspie Enemy" status to light. What can I say, they deserve to know about it.

I'm disappointed too, disappointed that you're so ready to deny ED members their constitutional rights, in favor of another set of rights. Parody is parody, and it's ironic to hear that NT Speaks is currently being championed of the same right to freedom of Speech that you don' t think ED deserves.

How is it that that Aspies can parody NTs, but not vice-versa? It's an abuse of the rights that are being championed, to use disability rights to defend the right to parody while turning around with those same rights to attack the right to parody.

NT-ND said...

no what I had the problem with was your attack on me

I just want to know why did you do that?

was this a retaliation after I attacked you here?

I only want an answer to my question.

P.S oh and there is a difference between denying someones right to comedy (like Autspeaks did) then trying to get rid of something which isn't comedy just downright degrading (E.D)

Attack? Phil's World's owner is the one that set you up for it. If you didn't want a fight, you shouldn't have picked one. If you don't want to fight, then stop. Throw down your "arms", and just be done with it.

Freedom of speech, protected parody. You tried wiping ED's article on AS. You persisted and created sock puppets, and actively pursued a confrontation with ED. I'm sorry, but there's no real defence for your actions. I'm a member of ED, and I have a responsibility to Encyclopedia Dramatica as a member.

If you want everything to go away, you're going to have to get closure by making the choice to stop. It's on you.

I retaliated over your actions not because of what you did to me, but because of what you did to ED. You brought it onto yourself, and what I contributed was in defense of the rights you were so fired up to deny. If you were offended, you should have said that on the talk page, and made suggestions. Not outright vandalism.

If you want the fight to end, it's on you. If you want the personal information deleted, ask someone to post a request, or an apology. You won't make anything better by insulting them until your fingers cramp from typing.

Anon, thank you for the link.

Looks awfully familiar...

NT-ND said...

ah well


guess we're even now joeker ;)

so did you think about the possibilty of biker gang coming from E.D?

from the discussion at the article on phils world it seems likely.

i mean the writing style and the way he uses his words is similar to the "ED-iots".

Flardox

Joeker said...

I've considered the possibility, yes. After going through an extensive amount of dates, times, and suspicious occurences, it would appear to be someone who knew of my blog, knew of ED, knew of the article on ED, and several other factors. I do believe I know who they are, but without any solid evidence, it's useless.

If you really want to know, though, you could PM me on AFF. But keep in mind, you'll probably not believe me.

Both consistently use the same misspellings, and the same "favourite (sarcasm) people" they like to name. Disputing someone's diagnosis - disgusting.

ok I'll PM you

Joeker said...

There is no doubt in my mind, nor is there any reasonable argument that they have to dispute it.

If you're from Uncyclopedia, they're going to be very, very interested to learn the General's identity. I daresay they'll be as satisfied as I am.

Personally, I want this individual to take responsibility for their actions. But they're going to great lengths to prevent that.

I don't think I'll ever understand how someone so irresponsible, selfish, and ill-tempered has been able to get away with so much for so long...

I am so oblivious to inferences and insinuations. I have no idea about any of this stuff but it sounds pretty interesting.

I like you short comments Anon. Whoever you are, you are onto it.

Ross Lumbus said...

[u]"Joeker if you so much as utter one syllable to suggest that it was me - I'll sue you.

I mean it.

It was not me, and I can prove it with the records on my computer for the time period concerned. If you wish to push me that far you are welcome to try. You know that I will act, and act swiftly.

This is far more serious than anything I have ever done to you. Ever. I will not tolerate flagrant lies being spread about me.

I state this categorically and I will repeat it in the witness box in court - I have NEVER EVER edited at Uncyclopedia. Just because someone has the same beliefs I do (not all as I stated on Wrong Planet) it does not prove that it's me. I know several Aspies who share my beliefs - and several NT's as well.

I could have done without this the day before I head off on a holiday!"[/u]

Hey Gary. Still harassing autistic teenagers? Why don't you wait outside of a special school at recess. Surely you will be spoiled for choice in the number of teenage autistics you can bully then.
You aren't working and I am thinking it may fill that desire in you to give autistic teenagers online a hard time. hey you may even actually abstain from it online. The Daves, Selos, and Joekers of the world may be left alone by you.

Of course if the police come to arrest you I would try telling them it was all self defence, the others started it and most importantly they have not had your life experiences. Such statements make a difference to other's perception of what you are and what you do.

Oh on a last note. Phuck off Phil. You have done enough to this teenager and whatever you would hope to achieve in the court against Joeker has been damaged by your own bullying tactics. Dimply you are not in a position to hold yourself out as the victim nor come to the court without "dirty hands".

Joeker said...

Ironic, that you threaten me in a topic about the harassment you orchestrated.

Of course you can prove that your computer wasn't used for it; after all, Anonymous Slashy used the libraries computers. Where do you spend your weekends? Researching things at libraries.

You'll swiftly file another lawsuit, and try to shut me up by pressing a legal matter? You'll sue me to silence me. Just like last time, or when you sent the hot-tubbers, or when you wrote an article about me. I'm through with being coerced and threatened. If you're here to threaten me, you're wasting your breath. I've survived drinking window cleaner, lived through a case of bronchial pnemonia, been one person's conscience away from being crushed to death in a garbage truck, faced down a black bear, and survived a car crash. In the face of all that, you're just an angry Aspie typing threats at me.

More serious than trying to have me committed to a mental institution?

You won't tolerate flagrant lies being spread about you? Your article is complete and utter bullshit. I wouldn't wipe my ass with it. Your blogs are the same way. That article is lies and falsehoods, bricked with quotes, cemented with bullshit. It's your pompous, self-important view of events, ignoring all contradictory evidence and thoroughly biased.

Besides, if it's true, it's not a lie.

How many of them consider Uncyclopedia enemies? How many of them are your age, diagnosed the same year as you, also dispute the CMO decision, also hate being told to get over it with the same passion as you, and are as plain, outright, indisputably asinine about AS as you are? You even used the exact same legal arguments, word for word, law for law, country for country? Coincidence, that's for one thing, even a few things. Not for rote repetitions of Australian law, explosive reactions to something as minor as beign told to get over it, and the same disgusting, prejudiced, and stereotypical views of LFAs. And you aren't winning any points for originality.

Happy holidays. In case you're vacationing to Canada, I'll be sure to keep the doors locked and my eyes and ears open.

I know for certain that the only time Philip goes onto the Internet at a library is if he is researching outside his own state - such as Canberra, Sydney and Adelaide. He never goes onto the Internet in Melbourne because he does not posess the time to do so.

Please cease commenting on material you know little about because you will only land yourself in boiling hot water. Philip is a dedicated and passionate individual who is one of the most honest people I have met.

He is holidaying locally in a place called Portland on the coast near the border with South Australia.

I am lost.

Suing over internet comments? And have already done so? I've looked at everything I can, been to wikkis, read blogs read forums, everythign.

Why on earth is this happening? We are humans with something called free will. That is not a law or in a constitution or anything it is us. We all have free will. If you don't like it, don't read it, turn it off. I realize this is hard, but you must do it.

Harrassing and suing? Your kidding? I've come here to do some research for my PhD on marginal groups and their place in society, where they see themselves and everything.

I'm sorry, but judging by this blog, the wikki, another few blogs, heaps of forums, there are reasons why people on the fringes of society are not taken seriously, and are not given the support they are desperate for, or the recognition. This is one of them.

Joeker said...

Protip: Posting with larger gaps between posts, and preferably after others post, is a good way to avoid revealing that you're a sock puppet, or posting several times over.

Wally, I'm sure Timelord is grateful for your help.

If he doesn't have the time, then how does he run his wiki? Seriously.

I've faced his first pack of thugs, and I doubt you'll be much different. Go for it, go right ahead; The only Aspies that matter are [i]your[/i] Aspies. Go for it, join on in. Another buddy come to give the little snot-nose his pounding. Too much of a coward to fight for himself, he's relying on you guys to fight his battles for him, the battles he starts; and you finish.

Too pathetic to stand up for himself, bringing in every person he can muster to argue with the teen he decided to fuck with. He doens't dirty his delicate hands, when he has thugs like you to cover for him. I'm right here, ready to take that dip in boiling hot water. But do you really want to dunk me in it? I at least have the guts to stand up and face you. Are you going to have me take the plunge, or are you waiting for back-up from the hot-tubbers, or more of your buddies from Phil's World?

Just leave me alone. You aren't worth the energy. Arguing with you, will change nothing. Fighting you, will change nothing. You've made your stand, you've shown your support. But we all know how the story ends; The kid lies crying on the ground, bruised, bleeding, or worse, and you guys go walking away patting each other on the back. Last time, it was eight on one. How many did you bring?

Anonymous said...

Joeker, a word of warning.

Phil knows what he is doing. If you want him, and indeed Wally, me or Scratcher or whoever else to leave you alone, the legal onus is on you to leave Phil alone. Just before he went on holiday Phil emailed me to get my thoughts after he sent the message above - he'll be back on Tuesday night (Australian time). You need to be very careful what you say about Phil. What he has said about you is to do with your attitude and your thoughts - and that only. At no stage did he attack your actions except what you said on your own blog and in other places. And yet you give him grief about things he has not done.

Phil runs a regimented day IIRC. He does most of his Wiki work offline and uploads it later. He does virtually nothing on days when he is at the library, which is two days a week during the summer although since his recent move it's back to one day (Tuesday).

You say you fight alone? Not a good idea. You need help to fight legal battles. Phil knows that and it's why he seeks advice from me and also Tex who has qualifications as well. He seeks other's help to. You are trying to take the whole thing on yourself. Bad idea. You shouldn't do it.

And you should apologise to Wally. He's no thug. I've never met him, but Phil has and he has nothing but praise for him. Wally's seen plenty of prejudice in his life - what with two sons, the younger of which is homosexual and the older married to a Muslim girl. He is a polite gentleman and hardly a thug.

I think Phil is right - you're paranoid and you need to back off.

Joeker said...

Taylor, you and itchy there sure know how to tag-team. I'm not surprised he's got help, but I am surprised that he's gotten so little help. Just one more? Back in the hey-day, there were eight. I guess he's not called back his old friends.

Leave "Phil" alone, you say? Glad you said his name, as now I can actually state his name without fear of a reprisal, since he tried to sue me over it already. Anyways, it wasn't me to spark the newest barrage from you chummy gits. That was old Phil, on a tangent over my life, and how I ought to listen to his superior experience of being 18, whereas he was friendless, anti-social, and didn't even know he had AS. Yeah, that sounds exactly the same, if you're drunk. If our lives aren't the same, then the failures he predicts for me are but lies, and he's trying to tell me that my life [i]ought[/i] to be horrible, a failure, and without any redeeming qualities. Since they aren't, he disputes my diagnosis, and harasses me.

Either he lied to me about what he did when he tried to have me committed, or he's lying to you. Either way, he's lying to someone.

At least I have the decency to avoid things like contacting his ISP, goverment, filing frivolous lawsuits, stalking(he said something about looking for me in the White Pages, and after that, an anonymous person called Biker Gang posted an address of someone with my name. Not exactly subtle.) and sending people after him, who harassed me, tried to coerce me, and told me to kill myself.

How can you justify ANY of that!?
HOW!? Where I come from, we have something known as decency. You might want a bit more before coming here to cry over the mean teenager that your buddy Phil declared war with, and committed crimes against.

I give him grief for things he has not done? Of course, he hasn't the balls or the bravery to do it himself. He sends little talking heads like you to do it. To stalk me, harass me, tell me to kill myself, whatever he feels is "neccesary." He never actually dirties his hands; that's for you peons.

I don't exactly see Phil here, fighting his own battles, justifying his own actions. I see you, and scratcher, and before you shmucks was Borusa and the gang. You're just another person he's gotten involved, another person he wanted to help him fight against someone he picked a fight with. Shall I write a list? The eight cronies he sent, named after Dr. Who villains, Flardox, PMed by him and fed stories, scratcher, you, standing up for him. You're just another log on a fire, Andy.

Legal battle? Farces. He tries to sue me for the very things he does! Sure, he can call me an idiot, a bigot, a liar, a fraud, a fake, under the average IQ, but heaven forbid should I ever say anything about HIM.
Bullshit has got to be his middle name.

My apologies. I don't have the same laws as they have in Australia. I don't have any tangible way to have acquired said legal help in Australia, and the courts did not provide one to me as a defendant. No one told me anything about the laws, regulations, proper procedures and protocols. They told me to give an address, give them responses to what he wrote, and in my eyes, the whole thing was an utter travesty. He used the law to deny me my rights, to perform a legal song and dance. This was after someone he sent told me to take my life. After. So you know what? Take your prim and proper legal mumbo jumbo and shove it. If the law won't protect me from what Phil organized, and will actually [i]help[/i] him with gaining legally what he tried to gain illegally, then I don't feel that playing legal games is of any value.

I know what happened. You can read it by scrolling to the bottom of the main page of my blog, clicking older posts, and having a wee look around for the three topics with the Hot-tubbers.

It was attempted coercion, trying to gain something through organized harassment. They admit that it was harassment. And if it's not illegal, calling on someone to take their own life is generally considered amoral, if anything.

Apologize to Wally? Don't make me laugh. He's vouching for his character, the character of someone who willingly sent someone onto my blog who told me to kill myself. What did he do in repsonse? He punished Borusa, for messing up the harassment. He punished Borusa, and said nary a word in apology. He didn't make things right, he didn't express any apology or kind words towards me for what was done. He simply tried to distance himself from Borusa.
What a loyal friend, throwing Borusa away when it became prudent. Makes you wonder if he would do the same to you, no?

I've seen plenty of prejudice too; try split lips, black eyes, bruises, cuts, and several years of the most horrible abuse you can imagine. To give you a few of the more gritty examples, try being shoved headfirst into a garbage can. How about trying to kill yourself? Perhaps coming within one person's conscience of becoming a shattered, bloody mess in a trash compacter. I've survived that, both more and worse; And that was as a child.

I didn't get protection from anyone then, and I don't get it now.

Paranoid? Because I've been driven there. Look at what Phil's done to me. Would you not admit that you'd be paranoid? I think I'm doing remarkably well, considering.

So take your legal onus, and do something both disgusting and physically impossible with it.

Ross Lumbus said...

Andy Thomas is that you?

See what you say looks serious and forceful and earnest. Your qualifications sound formidable.

What is your name though?

Now why do we take you seriously?

Phil disparages autistic teenagers. Joeker is one and Selo is another. You stick up for a man who behaves in this manner. You condone this behaviour and attribute the kind of decency in his thoughts and actions I believe he does not deserve.

Now why ought we listen to what you say? Why don't you bring Borusa back I would like to put shit on him. He is your mate isn't he. I mean, he was part of the gang that was sent by Phil to attack and harrass an 18 yr old autistic male on his own blog to prove that said teenager "could not cope in a work situation"?

Now my legal eagle first - in layman's terms how does a gang of adult mindless wonders attacking a teenager on his blog "equate" to him being at work....any work?

OK question two: how will that be explained as Phil having "said about you is to do with your attitude and your thoughts - and that only". Courts will buy that? Really?

OK third question if you are so smart, serious and worth listening to, what's your name? LOL

The time I would have died would have been less than half a minute after the garbage was dumped, and they stopped the truck after it was parked. Do the math.
I was within seconds of being dumped into the Truck's compactor and being slowly crushed into a bloody mess. I was about nine at the time.

You were nearly snuffed by illness, I was nearly snuffed by intolerance. You're just an angry little man in the face of the things which tried to take me out.

Now now, you think you'd learn not to lie. Not all Aspies believe that; Or do you forget: The Aspies on Uncyclopedia, the Aspies on the WP threads, and the Aspies on the AFF threads? Plenty of them were accepting, and few people really felt it was anything more than parody and satire. Not "all aspies" as you claim.

Match, match, match, and match. You would think you'd dispute it, rather than admit it.

What have I told you about saying "all aspies" when you just mean yourself?

Gee, I seem to recall you telling me about my future, like the fortune teller machines. About a accurate too. Something about doom, certain failure, and other rot about how I'm incapable of bettering myself and I should just rot, stagnating in my AS like a pickle in brine.

Your fellow Aspies? What fellow Aspies? You manage to drive away most Aspies that talk to you. What happened on AFF? What's happening on WP when you slam someone's opinion and attack teenagers? What happened on Aspergian Island?

Then you must close your eyes while you type.

This isn't winning or losing. It's criminal harassment. And don't you know? It's illegal, and there is more than enough evidence to nail you to the legal wall. You'll have to disclose the names and locations of those who actually committed the act. They'll pay for your loss of temper...

It's really quite sad. I don't think some of them are so bad; If at all possible, I try to have the judge be lenient on them. They don't seem to deserve it, and they did so little...
