OK, I got a couple of E-mails today.
The first one was from somebody at Encyclopedia Dramatica

Hello, this is one of the adminstrators from Encyclopedia Dramatica. We've come to the attention that you have taken offense to your page on our website through by your post on the sportssuck forum. As our website can be edited by any person, it is very tough to crack down on every page possible, so we've put together an informational page referring to resolving issues with our website, located at
http://encyclopediadramatica.com/Offended .
Thank you for your time and concern.
When I first saw this, I thought that something was going to be done after clicking on the link provided in my E-mail.
But when I went to that page here is what I saw.

OffendedThanks for your
concern. Were you offended by what you just saw? Please scroll SLOWLY to the bottom of this page.
. . . . . More pictures too gruesome to show here . . . . . . . Well, the first three pictures at the top were just cute animal photos, but after that, while scrolling down, there were noting but gruesome pictures of mutilated dead bodies, so I didn bother to scroll all the way down to the bottom.
I clicked on the word
concern since it was another link. and this is what I saw.

Butthurt
"Fair" Moderation can exist in many forms. Many moderators, admins, sysops, etc. claim to be "doing their job". This normally consists of catering to their friends who are trolls, majority rules, or who they find the most interesting or funny at the moment. This goes back to the high school and jock mentality where "the cool crowd" rules the interwebs. These ops and "cool people" who run these forums and sites operate like a gigantic masturbating cock operating as one unit to ejaculate their "rational thought" of who is a vandal, troll, n00b, geek, etc etc. Based on this due to lack of sex, a life, friends, etc. they spend all day on the interwebs playing King of the Shitheap due to lack of control and power in their own lives. Perhaps it could be because they were the high school football captain and are now fucktards who couldn't get a job and needed to carry on their leadership skills elsewhere. Maybe they are people who got picked on or are currently getting picked on and need to humiliate or punish others because it happened to them. Either way everyone is bias and everyone has a motive. Even you.
Butthurt is that special feeling in your ass after it's been kicked and/or fucked. It is a common ailment amongst losers on the internet. It is usually characterized by noisy whining and complaining after being pwnt or otherwise outdone in any minute and insignificant way. It was invented at least 100 years ago by Vlad the Impaler when he went crazy from living in a time without the internets. Today, butthurt occurs most commonly when you fall asleep with your friends and they, being your friends, decide it would be funny to sodomize you. Butthurt is also a primary generator of lulz on the internets and has produced many lolcows.
At first I though those were links to click on to complain about the content of a particular web page, and all I got was a page of gruesome pictures that will give me nightmares tonight and another page with a definition of BUTTHURT.
So, there is nothing I can do to get my phone number and home address removed.
Then I got another E-mail, a letter of apology from one of the SPAMmers that was involved in the raid on our forum a couple of nights ago.

Subject: Sorry, and you need to know: no one is really out to get you
I am a member of 4chan's sports board, and I must let you know: we are not powerful, and we are not really out to get you. What happened was someone found this website (
http://www.sportssuck.org) and we thought it was funny to create sports-related threads. Then a group of people from a section on the website, "/b/", thought it would be funny to start harrassing you and some other members (which was not funny at all). Make no mistake, those people are not from the section "/sp/". In fact, most of us think this "raid" is completely stupid now.
The reason we actually kept visiting your website and creating "troll' threads was not because we did not like the idea that you guys did not like sports, but some members found it funny that many of you would write very long replies (basically mini-essays) in response. That is the only reason some of us actually stayed, and the only reason we kept posting on your website. The whole entire situation got out of hand when some members from the board "/b/" jumped in and started harassing you. (I noticed a post you made that referenced to a youtube video with "the internet hate machine.") Those people are from /b/, and in fact, have no power at all. That video is over-exaggerated. No one really on this website has the power to do that, and in fact, most people who visit the website are teenagers.
PLEASE do not feel like your life is in danger. Actually, this whole entire situation should end soon. Most of the members of the sports board on 4chan think this is just obnoxious that people are still doing this, and have changed the situation to harrassment. Remember, the original intention of us on the sports board was only to post sports-related threads on sportssuck.com to possibly create some anger. And once again, we were just amused that practically 'essays' were written in response (and the 'John' post is completely fake.) The super bowl is tommorow, and all focus will be turned to that on this board. Expect this to end. Most people here are tired of it, and the only people ensuing it are 12 year olds from the "/b/" section.
But please, do not feel like your life is in danger. We are not actually out to get you. I don't know who can get the contact information off encyclopedia dramatica, but no one here will actually use it to go visit your house. We should get it off once it becomes possible. (also don't be worried if your picture is used. nothing can actually be done with it)
Here is an example of a post (attached), where the standpoint of most of us are now. Those who think this is still funny, we basically want to leave our board. But make no mistake, this harassment was not done because we do not like the idea you guys do not like sports. The harassment is done by immature members of the board "/b/". (and I suggest not to visit that section.) Thanks if you understand.
At first, I thought his apology was sincere.
But then I saw this image attachment at the bottom of the E-mail,

OK! How the fucking Hell does he know that I am thinking of staying over at a friend house for a few days?
I have made no mention of this anywhere on this forum or anywhere else!
Earl and Greencom and I, we have exchanged phone numbers, and at least twice or thrice a week I can look forward to getting phone calls from Earl.
And last night we talked about how I should stay over at a friend house until this thing blows over.
It was only in our phone call that we walked about this, and I have NOT mentioned this anywhere on these forums . . . . . until now.
This is my first and only mention of it.
So, how does this guy who sent me the E-mail know that I'm thinking of staying over at a friend house?
Unless . . . . .
MY PHONE IS TAPPED!!!
Oh, and this guy laughs about the "long essays" we posted in response to their idiotic posts in the forum a couple of night ago.
Yeah, what can you expect.
We write in coherent sentences and well structured paragraphs while these morons can only post three word sentences with one-syllable words, like DUH! HUH! HUH!
Monday, I'm going to call AT&T and have my phone number changed. I'm also going to have them put a trace on my phone to see if my phone has been tapped. I have a DSL connection so I can be on line and use the phone simultaneously. Maybe there is some vulnerability to having a DSL connection.
I know jocks are not smart enough to pull off this shit.
But jocks have money, and they can hire somebody to do it for them.
And the guy who sent me the E-mail with the attachment, he must think I'm a moron.
Sorry Mr Geoff Segal, apology not accepted! You're the moron!
Here is his E-mail address
EDIT: (e-mail address deleted)
I'm going to report him to the authorities because I suspect he had somebody tap my phone.
Hey JIMBO BUBBAH BOOIE!
If I find out that you, or you had somebody tap my phone, you and whoever, you're gonna go down!
I'll see to it that you're locked up so far away you won't be able to hear the dogs barking!
You got that? JIMBO!!!
