Hiney hole

There are all kinds of efforts in Skypeland to disrupt conversations by assorted hackers. The "mystery man" A bragged recently that he or one of his programmers had developed a method for people to enter a Skype conference call and participate while remaining invisible, as a "joke". This of course is completely in line with his other disruptive behavior, which borders on blatant illegality, if not stepping over the line on numerous occasions. The mystery man A is certainly living up to his nickname, "Sap".

This technique was used by the infamous Hiney and his henchman "Door stop" (see the blog post "Hiney never made personal attacks"). These two geniuses also stole IDs and hijacked names and Skype accounts and "rode in" on the call of Mr. Wee Wee Parts (see the blog post "A little gentleman").

It is interesting how internet trolls and hackers and assorted malcontents find common ground in this fashion. The mystery man A went out of his way to recruit M, who is widely known as the "most destructive troll we have ever seen" on well over a dozen websites, and has made a 20 year career of being a troll. M proudly believes that he is "a troll in the tradition of Socrates and Galileo" but instead is just plain irritating and annoying. M has been blocked from one internet venue after another.

M claims that this is all due to misunderstandings, or that he does not interact well with "cluster B" personalities that are mentally ill; he includes at least several hundred on Wikipedia that interacted with him in this category and says that the founder of the Wikimedia Foundation is "unethical" for blocking him. Ah yes, it sounds very rational to believe that the largest and most successful nonprofit enterprise on the internet, and fifth-most visited website on the internet should be populated almost entirely by tens of thousands of editors that are mentally ill. Very convenient story isn't it? It is always someone else's problem, never the trolls themselves.

This is the story with M and the mystery man A and A's girlfriend and minion J and BT and Hiney and Doorstop and Mr. Wee Wee Hands; these trouble makers and trolls and disruptors congregate and hatch plans to cause chaos and hard feelings and mount attacks (a great example of an organized attack was staged by Mucus the other day; see the blog post "You sound Jewish"). It is nice to see how all the trolls and disruptors like to network and get together, and explore vulnerabilities like each other's "hiney holes".

Isn't that nice?
