Discussion on Cyberstalking

[IndyColtsFan]

Nothing wrong with my posts.

People like you have to go back to school to learn how to read.

I did not make a post saying gas was $6 in Chicago.

I opined on the article saying that when gas is $5 in the rest of the country that means it WILL closer to $6 here in Chicago.

It's in black and white for those that know how to read to see.

Go to school, you missed a lot. Bush and his no child left behind sure left you behind.

Unlike you, I have a real degree and that isn't what you said. See: Biff's quote of you and your article.

Dave, I never really had to deal with people stalking my threads but I have had to deal with the relentless attacks of the Rabid Right in here so I can relate to that. Don't let the people on this forum who treat you like shit get you down. I treat this forum like work...when I log off or leave work then I don't take my problems with me.

I don't let jealous assholes get me down.

I have enough real shit that happens on it's own.

Hell now I have no ceiling and wall in my living room as water poured in from the outside wall of the brick building.

Here are my thoughts at this time:

• This is not a thread about cyberstalking, but rather a moderator discussions or personal issues-type thread with dmcowen playing the victim card again. It seems he made an earlier attempt in the mod forums and was summarily dismissed. That he was told in the open mic thread to please not make it a thread about him, but continued to do it anyway, and now has his own thread is proof positive that he is given absolutely all the leeway one could ever hope for. I imagine if the rest of us pulled such a stunt we'd be banned, as we should be.
• It's morbidly fascinating watching mcowen self-destruct over this matter. If there was ever a better example of why mcowen should be forbidden from interacting on P&N it's his juvenile rage expressed over the past couple of days here. He's even taken to baiting this morning in the gas thread and lashing out in the capitalism thread.
• Consistently getting the simply-spelled name wrong of somebody who you claim to be stalking you is noteworthy
• Although I cannot speak for lopped, since him and I share similar names I will try my best: If mcowned wants lopped to stop calling him out on lies, he need simply stop lying. It really is that simple. A two step process: 1) Don't tell a lie, 2) lopped won't quote your lie and prove with a link how it is a lie
• Mcowned has a storied history of calling people who accuse him of lying liars, even if they have proof of his lie--even if the proof of his lie was in the very link he provided in the post in which he lied (this has happened many times)
• The vast majority of posts lopped responds to mcowned are in P&N. The vast majority of those are in the gas thread, in which lopped has documented literally dozens of obvious lies. Main reason being they're so easy to do and take no effort. Conclusion: lopped's "stalking" is nothing more than mcowned being called out on lies.. Essentially, he is asking the moderators to be given free reign on lying and not having people call him out on them. The moderators have obviously denied this request and thus his fury grows.
• Again, I really cannot speak for lopped, but as I feel a certain connection with him, I'll go out on a limb and say that he has never so much as attempted to contact mcowned outside of AT. Further, he has never posted even an inkling of private information about mcowned not known by all on such sites as freemcowen.com. All evidence of this is viewable by thousands on the public AT forums.
• I have seen no examples in which lopped has made up "personal lies" about mcowen's wife. That's not to say there are not 1-2 posts (there may be, I have no idea, but will assume not unless they're posted (?)) in which surprise was expressed that somebody is married to him.
• Mcowned cannot be convinced of anything by anybody and thus I wrote the above for others in this thread, not for him. In my estimation his problems go far beyond this thread or AT in general, and looking for solutions to them here is a dead end.

Oh, and back to the thread title. Cyberstalking. With more surveillance of our lives and more information digitized and indexed it is surely getting easier for cyberstalkers. Many people voluntarily make it easy, too; look at all the things people share on Facebook, for example?

This coming from someone that claims to only have signed on here Feb 2011. Yeah sure. The only one morbidly self destructing is you.

You've been caught, plain and simple lopped.

 

[Londo_Jowo]

So McOwned, where's your proof to back up your claims? I see you denying and attacking but nothing else.

 

[Doppel]

Still, dmcowen674 raises an issue not unique to just himself, but this forum somehow turns it into a only bash dmcowen674 thread while ignoring some real issues of fairness???

The old Greek logic, if we kill the messenger, that message never happened.

You do realize that this thread was created solely because mcowned was the trolling the hell out of the open mic thread, making it yet another dmcowen674 thread, right? This thread was created at his behest.

How was he caught? You insinuate that he's stalking you yet you only reference a single thread to this effect. You insinuate that he has multiple accounts but you don't give any evidence of this. You insinuate that the Mods are in on this and/or facillitating the behavior but you don't give any evidence. All you are giving here is a bunch of baseless accusations.

Hell, you are also claiming that people are insulting your wife yet I haven't seen direct evidence of this (outside of the fact that you claim that your wife agrees with your views and that somehow disagreeing with your statements on the forums implies that we are calling your wife a liar).

 

[Jaskalas]

If person A creates a series of topics, is person B not allowed to reply to each of them?

 

[xBiffx]

Umm my tone? Your posts aren't exactly very rosey and you constantly stoop to personal attacks so you really have very little room to critique my posts.

My posts are far and away a lighter tone than your as far as negativity goes. Also, I don't resort to personal attacks unless I have been attacked personally first and even then its rare. I attack people on their message and don't go around insulting them. If they say something dumb I call them on it but I don't just flat out flame people because I have no idea who they are and only have what they say to go off of. You, on the other had, just like it the post I bolded go off for no reason at all. I'm not saying I'm a saint but when I have gone to the gutter, it was because someone took it their first.

Plus, I'm not the one here comforting another member and trying to play the victim. There have been plenty of time that I have stooped down and flung shit and then had it flung right back at me. I don't complain and cry victim when I opened the door to that. I do however call people out when they just go off without any provocation.

If I say someone is saying something stupid, fine if they wan't to call me stupid or say that I say stupid things (even if I'm not calling them stupid, just their message). If I call someone out for what they are saying while being civil and get "For the record, you can be the first Right Wing fucking douchebag in here who can kiss my fucking ass...." in return, well that's taking it a bit too far.

 

[dmcowen674]

So McOwned, where's your proof to back up your claims? I see you denying and attacking but nothing else.

I don't have to prove jack shit to you the one who posts "McOwned" in every one of your posts.

Your jealousy rings out loud and clear for all to see.

 

[blackangst1]

This thread is if anything, entertaining

 

[cybrsage]

Pass the popcorn, provided it is not buttered.

 

[WelshBloke]

I don't have to prove jack shit to you the one who posts "McOwned" in every one of your posts.

I think some of the problem is that you are not providing proof for anyone.

 

[Doppel]

OK, so essentially confirming that you created a thread accusing somebody of stalking and when challenged for proof, all of which would be on a single forum with a readily available search engine, you could not provide it.

Shortly a moderator will move and/or lock this thread and chalk it up to another ludicrously insane claim of yours. And by God they are patient with your childish antics, so very patient. I hope they are checking the mail for another court order (http://forums.anandtech.com/showthread.php?t=257206&highlight=). At times I want to feel sorry for you, because you so clearly display serious problems that require professional assistance, but your posts end up being so repugnant it's just very hard to be sympathetic.

Well, well, well.....looks like McOwned has nothing. Can't say I'll miss you when you get banned for making false accusations.

Again who made you Mod?

WWYBYWB?

Who were you before you were banned?

 

[thraashman]

Again who made you Mod?

While I am not a mod myself and Londo does not appear to be one either, your posting history is some of the most negative on here. You're acting like a paranoid schizophrenic. And I do not make or enforce rules on these forums, I've been on here for a good amount of time. I've seen you get worse over the years posting on these forums. I've seen the personal attacks and playing victim get worse. And while politically it would appear that some of your views fall near mine, I have no problems calling out someone who has gone off the deep end. The sheer volume of posts you've made throughout this thread that appear to violate forum rules would lead anyone, mod or not, to believe you are cruising close to a ban.

I won't lie though that I've never particularly liked you ever since your legal troubles with a county that I've paid taxes to and consider you in the wrong in regards to.

 

[Born2bwire]

But Idon'tcare is a Mod and he has already stated,

It is up to dmcowen674 to prove which is the case here. He's made his claims, now it is time to prove they are not baseless.

But the facts are and remain, proof lies in the eyes of the beholder.

When the politically correct Catholic church of 1600 AD maintained the Earth was the center of the Universe, they certainly had no monopoly on current Anand Tech thinking.

Forum moderator Idon'tcare may not care about logic or truth in demanding absolute proof first, but some forum members are not slaves to political correctness. And gasp, actually think for themselves.

To some extent the burden of proof is also on others to prove dmcowen674 is wrong.

As history shows, the Catholic church was able to muzzle Galileo under the threat of burning at the stake, but history shows who won in the end.

 

[shiner]

Yeah, because Dave's batshit crazy accusations are equivalent to the Catholic Church's denying the Heliocentric Model and imprisoning or killing those who dared propose it.

I think you may have your cliches mixed up.

How can you seriously eat unbuttered popcorn..plain?, ew

However I found the jist of this thread confusing...qiuckreading, all I can come up with is that there is a baby on board? Is that a correct sum of thread?

 

[Lemon law]

Maybe shiner misses the point, saying dncown674 is bat shit crazy, is still political correctness without proof.

Will you realize when gas in the USA goes over $6.00 over gallon, that ole dm might have been partially right? And if and when it happens, will you then blame ole dmcown674 when it happens anyway despite all your political correctness denial?

As an American citizen, I have had a belly full of political correctness stinking thinking.
