*Yawn* It's almost 7am, and even after travelling so far today I can't sleep. So I thought I'd have a look on here to see what I'd missed, and who did I find on the 'Do you have any children?' thread? Well, you all know, you had to deal with our 'author' friend whilst I was out. He's tried my patience one too many times, and now I have a plan, which will need the assistance of someone on ILE. Being the moderator, I can see the IP addresses he posts from, but I don't know how to put ISP names to those numbers. Assuming he isn't posting from an internet cafe, we could all complain to his ISP, and get his account terminated. And if this works, and he comes back again, we'll just do it again. They do this over on Urban75.com, which due to its political slant gets far more trolling date rapists than we do, and this strategy seems to work.

Easy to do dns lookups on ip numbers, find hostnames, extrapolate.

― Josh, Friday, 20 July 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

However it works out, I'll be happy to contribute some scorn. ;-)

― Ned Raggett, Friday, 20 July 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

From just the 'children' thread it appears he's been using at least 3 different ISPs, usually in successive posts - one is unidentified, one is BTinternet, and the other is frasier.ford.com, whatever that is. A slippery fellow indeed. And I know you're reading this, DP.

― DG, Friday, 20 July 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

I wasn't really able to do much with this on ILM, DG, so you might also be out of luck. With proxy servers and all (many not well protected by their maintainers), IP addresses are kind of crap to go by.

― Josh, Friday, 20 July 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Ah, but Gareth's working on it and he's traced an IP number to The Law Society Of Upper Canada, although that doesn't move us much further forward.

― DG, Friday, 20 July 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

dude, you make me sound like Petrocelli. only took 5 seconds

― gareth, Friday, 20 July 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Sssssh Gareth! I'm trying to make us look good.

― DG, Friday, 20 July 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Same place I had. Good luck.

― Josh, Friday, 20 July 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Sorry, why doesn't someone call the Law Society of Canada and ask to speak to someone in charge. Tell them that someone in office is abusing email privileges and other users and let them take care of it from there. I don't think they'd like it very much if one of their lame temps was wasting so much time on the interweb. Or is this too bitchy?

― suzy, Friday, 20 July 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Am I nuts, or are some of those doomdrool msgs on that thread spoofs by ILE regulars acting silly?

― Sterling Clover, Friday, 20 July 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

I'm pretty sure he's not really using BTInternet, which narrows it down to two. Not that I think someone did a rather good impersonation of him or anything...!

― Paul Strange, Friday, 20 July 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

"It wasn't me!"

― mark s, Friday, 20 July 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Nobody here but us chickens.

You know how when Doomie plays his little games he says we're being M.A.N.I.P.U.L.A.T.E.D? When he has trouble going to the toilet is he therefore C.O.N.S.T.I.P.A.T.E.D?

Sorry, that was rubbish.

― Paul Strange, Friday, 20 July 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

I saw this thread and thought

"Fantastic! Somebody's posted a thread of TOTAL UNACCEPTABILITY and now there is rebellion"

or that Stevie T had snapped under the weight of persistent dolphin- related persecution.

― Tom, Friday, 20 July 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

BUT

it was only bloody Doompatrol. Again.

(sorry for not finishing message first time, a DPesque touch mind you)

― Tom, Friday, 20 July 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

I must admit that the humor inherent in starting yet another thread that says, "No more Doompartol!" is pretty high.

― Dan Perry, Friday, 20 July 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Um, I believe a couple of those were me being silly/spoofing doomintroll yesterday...after he got all pretensioso about his grand schemes of manipulation I had to zing him a bit. So you can cross frasier.ford.com off the list. And I'm guessing, but I think the bt address was kate?

Talk about an inauspicious return to the world of ILE. ;-)

― Nicole, Friday, 20 July 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

shit - here I was thinking maybe I said something unnaceptable about antidepressants - phew!

― Geoff, Friday, 20 July 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

BT is Kate, yes. Which leaves.... unknown?! Now that's mysterious.

― Paul Strange, Friday, 20 July 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Paul, you'd make a crap Sherlock Holmes. Unknown is clearly... the REAL doomintroll! ::cue mysterious organ music and flashing of lights::

― Kate the Saint, Friday, 20 July 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

I read that as "mysterious orgasm music". I need to go back to sleep.

― Ally, Friday, 20 July 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

I was gonna say, this guy would have to be pretty committed to use three separate accounts just for the express purpose of annoying us.

― Dave M., Friday, 20 July 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

But if he's unknown how do we trace him?

And Sherlock Holmes was rubbish anyway. Dr Watson was clearly the brains behind the operation.

― Paul Strange, Friday, 20 July 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Mysterious orgasm music would, actually, be much better. I have this whole mental picture of Duran Duran putting Barbarella in the Orgasmatron and playing symphonies of pleasure... uuuuuhhhhhhh...

― Kate the Saint, Friday, 20 July 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Surely, Kate, in years past you would have preferred to put the actual band Duran Duran in there -- and then yourself, and then lock the door behind you.

― Ned Raggett, Friday, 20 July 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

I think I actually have a record of mysterious orgasm music somewhere.

― Paul Strange, Friday, 20 July 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Ned, what else did you think I was saying? ;-)

And Paul, yes, I've heard it. That Ananda Shankar album that we erm... got a little frisky to last week. Definitely mysterious orgasm music.

― Kate the Saint, Friday, 20 July 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

I can now never play that record at Strange Fruit ever again without worrying everyone.

― Paul Strange, Friday, 20 July 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Face it: this is Doominvalley and we are his sleazy Snork Bitch.

Love the idea that Kate, Nicole and me were all gleefully trolling ONE ANOTHER long after he had rolled his window up and told his chauffeur to motor him elsewhere.

(Tho actually I was baking, not trolling.)

― mark s, Friday, 20 July 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

So because Doompatrol no longer exists you had to re-invent him? That's heavy!

― Steven James, Friday, 20 July 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Baking? Baking? Is that for us tomorrow or are you stuffin' face while watching Paul get thrown out on his sorry ASS later?

Tonight at House Of Gastroporn I am making Keema Peas, lovely tomato- based hot curry (peas, lamb mince) with light cardamom flavour and a really stunning afterkick. Mmmmmm. SUCH an unproductive day. However that's what I get for being a sucker for FREE ABSINTHE.

― suzy, Friday, 20 July 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

If Doomintroll did not exist, we *would* have to invent him.

Mmmm, curry. I'm about to start making some gastroporn of my own for tomorrow afternoon. And speaking of free absinthe, is it a good idea if I bring my bottle of absinthe tomorrow? It's hardcore 10% wormwood stuff that my bassist brought back from Eastern Europe, and I've been saving it for a special occasion...

However, I'm not sure that the first time a whole gang of boisterous and argumentative drunkards getting together on a rooftop is exactly the sort of special occasion that really *needs* absinthe.

Also, should I be on the wagon tomorrow or no? If I show up shitfaced to SF again, Paul is going to throw ME out on my ass... sigh.

― Kate the Saint, Friday, 20 July 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Kate, bring on the liquid skunk as I'm still not sure whether I can get the non-liquid kind! Re getting plastered: just alternate bouze/water/ bouze/water/bouze/water, etc. and you'll be fine. Shall I whip up rice for the curry?

I am going to DIE on the sofa for awhile. If anyone needs me, I'm going To The Shops tomorrow morning to get everything I think we might need, eg. paper plates and the Kahlua and the Dazs.

― suzy, Friday, 20 July 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

I have the non liquid kind so don't worry.

― Ed, Saturday, 21 July 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)
