Discussion about
So we already knew that hfscomm1 and jimhones09 are the same poster. About a month ago when SE implemented the new troll-control measures, there was a little smoke-and-mirrors thread with an entertaining conversation between hfscomm1 and various hfs- and jimhones-based aliases that mysteriously got pulled out of nowhere. That's because SE got annoyed with the troll's constant starting of new login... [more]

Anyone who logs in at home with RCN, Time Warner Cable and even Verizon - unplug your cable modem overnight. In the morning you'll have a new IP address. Try it tonight and verify with http://www.whatismyip.com/

Then internet cafes, work locations, dial-up, traveling, etc.

This IP issue is a red herring.

And none of it changes the nature of aboutready being an entitled toilet whore. Others work. Aboutready finds some way to get a piece.

well, actually i did some research today on rufie. i must say that as of 2003 he was really a techie.

now, sadly, he has no concept of decent and appropriate relationships.

hopefully rufus/hfs will do better. and find something. someone.

Hey hfscomm1, you're missing the point. None of misdirection explains how you knew rufus was being blocked. That's why it's a "dead giveaway", you know "smoking gun", that sort of thing.

AR, post the rufus links please. While RS may share some views that many other Americans share, he's no troll. To be a troll like this takes something, umm, "special" in you.

hmm, i always kinda thought hfs was riversider, though i don't think i've ever found riversider as unpleasant as hfs (i also think riversider is the former metalhead). unfortunately, rufus was before my time so none of this makes much sense to me which is good b/c Lost starts in about 30.

See Jim, that's where you have a problem.

I'm here to bring down repugnant people like aboutready. And I'm willing to go all the way, including by making myself low enough that their association with me alone is enough to make people question them. Not that aboutready needs much help, who else out there has all of these toilet stories? Who else but a welfare queen could be so entitled to the fruits of everyone else's work? But I digress. I'm willing to be low enough to be accused of being you, or rufus, or whomever. Call me rufus. Aboutready, toilet, rufus... all associated. Lie down with dogs, get up with fleas - and I'm willing to be the dog.

Just like I'm no plumber but I can replace a toilet seat without accusing someone else of being responsible for it. Now, none of that makes me a legal expert that an equity partner at a law firm ought to be seeking out because of his own inadequacies or humoring of his wife who paid off his delinquent taxes.

Hfs: You really need to seek treatment for mental illness. Or, more likely, you need to resume treatment for mental illness. Or, even more likely, you should let your court-assigned psychiatrist know what you're writing on this board so that he can have you committed again.

It's not your nastiness that makes me think it's mental illness, hfs. It's your obsessiveness. Anyone who knew you who knew you were acting this way would be extremely concerned for your mental health and would probably contact your shrink. You do have a shrink, don't you, hfs?

I don't. I'm simply make myself a jerk to expose and bring down other jerks. I have no shame being a jerk where necessary to accomplish this task. And I'll cease being a jerk the minute we get rid of aboutready (and her buddies, like columbiacounty who is now gone) and her entitlements and frankly her interest in shouting down other posters, like in the carpet thread where another poster documented her nastiness: (these are actual quotations)

aboutready:
"how the f did you take "a glimpse of their living room" without their consent?"
"how do you have a rats ass clue as to why they don't have floor coverings? "
"you're a tard. "
"btw, you're still a tard. no compassion."
"once again you're absolutely full of shit matt. absolutely. "
"maybe one day you'll have a kid with asthma. happy days!"
"do you get it now? your kid can be a fucking obnoxious loud nightmare "
"Matt, you are such an asshole. such an asshole."
"btw, you're a jerk of the highest order."
"good f'ng lord the assumptions here are crazy. maly, same for you."
"give me a f'ng break"

you shouldn't have to plunge. You should be in a position to sue other people for this situation and at the same time to require that someone else plunge for you. If all else fails, you should remind your husband of some time when you did something nice for him and force him to deal with it.

if you buy, you're on your own. sort of like my $600ish plumbing costs the night i moved in and didnt realize the bathtub faucet wouldn't turn off and the jacuzzi hadn't been used in years because it didn't drain. and i had paid for an engineering report.

Ladies and Gentlemen:

My name is Underdog. I am just a (sniff,sniff) dog.
I just went to the parking lot, where RAL keeps his " 5 or 6 cars " (he doesn't know how many cars he has; see his puff-ball interview in The Real Deal). I located his Mercedes; and I plopped out a big poop, in front of his tires. I can't help it.

I also went to OBBP,up to Gator's bathroom; where I wrote up on the wall: "IF YOU CAN PISS THIS HIGH -- JOIN THE FIRE DEPT."

Ral shtupped a female tenant; in exchange for his "Free Parking Space Deal". Her irate boyfriend chased him around the parking lot. He almost got his ass kicked!

RAL has a teeny weeny. I know he does -- I saw it.

I gotta go: I'm on my way to rescue Aboutready, from that other creepo.

Thanks inonada.

The reason I'm not putting you in the category with aboutready, columbiacounty, etc. is that you haven't been rudely shouting down other posters, which is the sole reason I'm here. Check out the Rushmore and Setai threads where aboutready is criticizing buyers and others, yet she has no interest in that development. Check out the thread on carpeting and count the number of times aboutready is shouting at other posters, cursing and spewing venom - over carpets!

You- feel free to bring me down. The lower I go, the lower that people associated with me, like aboutready the toilet lady, are brought along with me.

So, yes, I'll be rufus.

Sounds good rufus. I'm glad you don't put me in the same category as those very bad people, I'll sleep better at night in knowing that I have a not-quite-a-friend-but-not-an-enemy-either in rufus. I'm glad that you'll pretend to be rufus for my benefit in your pretense of not being rufus. Your willingness to sacrifice yourself in being brought down for what you believe is the greater good is so noble, sorta like Jesus on the cross. A real role model. Except Jesus did not spew vitriol and hate to get his point across, but never the matter.

Look at these exact quotations by aboutready on a thread about 80% carpeting:

"how the f did you take "a glimpse of their living room" without their consent?"
"how do you have a rats ass clue as to why they don't have floor coverings? "
"you're a tard. "

what is the commonality between cc, ar and mimi. those are the ones that comm went after initially. not even w67th really, although there is some banter there more to throw the picture than anything else. it added rhino, but i don't think rhino was an initial target either, and it isn't nearly as consistent in its abuse of rhino.

Hey AR, you smell a rat in neklok? Here are the only 2 threads I can find with posts from the login.

http://streeteasy.com/nyc/talk/discussion/16810

http://streeteasy.com/nyc/talk/discussion/18777-unpublished-final-sale-price

The first is a random "my wife and I are close to purchasing something specific, I'm looking for confirmation from a bunch of strangers". After lots of laughs from various posters and an insistence of being "legit", said rat flips position and says by the end that they're fairly certainly on the sidelines.

In the second thread, said rat appears out of left field to take a potshot at w67th.

inonada, there is a certain poster here who seems to have more handles than i have digits. but they have a lot in common. and they (other than the comms, unless they are related to the comms) are responsible for a huge majority of the truly nasty comments directed my way over the past couple of years. oddly, although this person changes handles it doesn't change the details of its life, particularly one. and it frequently makes mistakes, using the wrong handle to respond. it was interesting. i recalled one nasty interchange, ran a search for the poster, and was stunned at the results. then ran a search for the one detail that it shared identically with another nasty handle, and those results brought up more. and then within the various threads it became apparent that said whack job was using various handles to agree with itself.

but neklok, i don't know. doesn't fit any pattern that i've found. but i have been selfishly focusing on someone who might hate me, not w67th, although i'm sure there's much overlap. neklok might be one of them, but unless (and that's a big supposition) the whack job i refer to in the prior paragraph also creates another identity, it isn't it. it's funny. the connections should have been obvious. but it took a good afternoon of searching for me to find the commonality. I found about 7 handles that i am certain belong to one person, and another 10 or so that I'd be willing to bet are. then there was that time a few months ago when new handles were being created by the second. i don't know if those relate to this person or comm or newrufus, or if they're all tied up together.

your linking hfs to rufus made me think. rufus showed up once a few months after he disappeared, it was kind of a joke, i accused 10022 of channeling rufus, and then he popped up. everyone said it was because he searches the site for his name. i don't think so. i don't think SE ever banned rufus's IP, like people here thought. i don't think rufus left. i think circumstances changed for rufus so rufus did too. if rufus finally made it to NYC it would make sense that on a NYC board he'd change. on a politics board, no need.

Does anyone remember the infamous "spunky" of a few years ago?

I was reading a thread interspersed with jimhones rants a minute ago, and the tone totally reminded me of spunky.

To my mind, the main giveaway was his absolute relentlessness, not just the nastiness/belittling. the guy JUST could not let a point drop - - he'd make his point over and over and over. Sometimes he'd reply twice or three times, building on his own argument, before the person he was arguing with would even have a chance to reply.

Neklok, thnxs inonada. I was like who the f was this.

In closing we know hfs = Jimcahones 09 10 etc, and like I said before it's a sign of a crazy to log in under multiple handles to back yourself up on an anonymous forum and actually want to keep some 'handles' credible. Which means CarolSt is less crazy than hfs, which is saying alot.

I was going to ask, why is there no thread on columbiacounty = Hugh_G = Dwayne_Pipe?

If Citibank sent social security numbers on the outside of envelopes and the iPad security with AT&T was just breached for over 100000 people, is that enough to drive someone insane?

I withdraw my determination that rufus is not the comms.

Riversider, you were strangely quiet on this thread. What do you make of it all?

you guys and your evidence.

jimhones=carolst these i've always known. emotional, vulgar and defensive. their legit face here is probably steveF

the troll is a man, under 40. white, upper middle class background. i used to think he was native to the new york metro area, but then i realized that he is gay, which is a wild card, he could be from anywhere. that's the profile.

ar, he is fixated on you for some reason. one theory is that you know him. another is that you are the only girl among his targets. maybe he doesn't realize himself, that he chose you instictively because you are the only girl. exciting!

Is this a danger of going to the "Streeteasy" meet-ups? Some loser goes to the party, but does not introduce himself as a "Streeteasyer" and pretends to be just another fellow at the bar. Then he injects himself into the Streeteasy crowd to size them up?

Yes, a lot of effort but not for some loser who has way too much time on his hands. Most probably, he is unemployed but has a reserve of some money.

ps - I have never been to a SE meet-up.

1OneWon, excessively complicated.

Much more likely: real SE poster with "good cop" identity attends as that identity, then uses information from friendly, casual conversation at meetups to post from "bad cop" identities on SE. Of course, coming from someone like that even the "good cop" has an undertone of villainy in postings.

alan, you guys obviously have more info on this, but keep in mind the troll is snarky. snark!!! will be your clue. some of the suspects you guys through around are pretty corny and flat. if you HAVE met the troll irl, you probably liked him. just my 2 cents.

that the troll is unemployed and has family money was always suggested because of his impressive posting stamina and the intricate web of his obvious other personalities. all kinds of other theories have been thrown around to try to explain his behavior, except the most simple one. the troll is a streeteasy site maintanence techie guy. duh.

THe troll clearly identifies himself in his various roles,and insists that is it, and I am inclined to believe him. He has a certain dry wit (shoot me for saygin this...and i didn't say he's not twisted, mean, and obsessed)that is totally absent from the various posters people say he is. I think it is just him and that's it (except.. maybe the jimhones guy but i dont read greyed out people so im not really sure...).

This thread is so nine months ago. Since then it has been revealed by They Who Know (columbiacounty, apt23, etc.) that buyerbuyer is also the troll. And MidtownerEast. And probably Truth. And of course me. And, for that matter, just about anyone else who has ever disagreed with They Who Know on anything. 'Cause that's how They Who Know roll. Turns out it's a regular troll-apalooza around here.

ar - I'm at hfs/comms/counties = nopigs (by his own admission - not any brilliant insight by me) and maybe also = j_ho. rufus is probably a different beast. just my best guess.

And just in case any of my earlier point was obscured by the sarcasm, I also think They Who Know think they run the SE boards (or, rather, think that they should run them and find it annoying that they don't) and that they call 'troll' whenever anyone shows up who doesn't want to join their mutual admiration society.

sls, i still think rufus morphed into RS, and that's based on a lot of internet work, but frankly, i no longer care.

i know you've mentioned specifically MY admiration society, and once again, frankly, i don't care.

i have never attempted to "run" the board here. i've been around for years, and have seen bulls ascend and bears ascend and have been part of the ongoing party. there are trolls of different natures, those who create multiple identities to attack, and those who will do anything in their power to discredit a given individual or point of view, regardless of the accuracy of their "proof" or convictions.

i'm extremely heartened by what i am seeing, generally, on this board. i will admit to having been rather irritated at SE's lack of troll patrol (and i mean the very obvious troll). my very sincere appreciation for their current efforts.

The talk about everyone discovering the troll's identity only to have that change after the next post/incident reminds me of The "Monsters are Due on Maple Street"--Twilight Zone Season One, Episode 22.

Hey sls, I'm just defending the likely links here. Read the original post on this thread. The hfs/hones link is established by hones's initial manifesto (old poster who's sick of antics by AR, cc, w67) that then got completely erased with a-hole broker manifesto. The hfs/Rufus link is established by hfs's recognition that Rufus was also banned despite being dormant for over a year. Simple forensics, evaded anytime they were questioned.

i'm still fairly certain that rs is rufus. read the comments on the 15 cpw thread. rufus disappeared, rs showed up. and rufus was not the type to go quietly into the night.

anyway, as to the troll, maybe malraux? who knows. but as long as it's controlled, who cares.

sls: I have never used bad language before on SE and I have never said anything, ANYTHING, derisive about anybody......but let me just say-- please go back and read what SE wrote, what I wrote and your response. You are Acluistic and you attack people personally. This is not the first time you have personally --and erroneously -- come after me. You are an arrogant, condescending asshole. But since I am finished with SE, it no longer matters.

'nada - your research is impressive, and I'm not saying by any means that it ain't so, but there is scope for debate and I was just saying where I stood in response to ar's question. Re: scope for debate, ar seems even more convinced that rufus is Riversider than you are that rufus is hfs. [Cue alanhart and columbiaignored to say that this is all consistent because Riversider is hfs. Yawn.] The more I think about the j_ho = hfs idea, the more plausible it seems. There is your work of course, and there is also the misogynistic persona and the fact that when nopigs appeared the other day to confirm that he is hfs (where did that post go, btw?), he denied being rufus and was silent on j_ho.

No I'm not jim_hones.

But it's very easy to confuse inonada and others. If jim_hones or Riversider posts, I immediately can post what they wrote and then issue a "whoops". Simple, but it seems to create "evidence" for the dimwitted. Heck, I've even done that for columbiacounty. Of course, I am actually him. He and I are the two longest greyed-out posters, because after all, we are the same person.

btw, I'm also sidelinesitter, buyerbuyer, printer, penthouselady, NYCMatt, AgentRachel, CarolSt, Ericho, Dwayne_Pipe, Hugh_G, upperwestrenter, spunky, maulraux, and recently resurected wonderboy too.

Remember, there is only ONE "troll".

But there is also only ONE apt23, even if she posts also as Wbottom and midtownereast.

ar - re: your response the other day, I am also heartened by recent trends. While I am a very big fan of SE support and sympathize with their desire not to be burdened with babysitting the discussion boards when they could be out building the business, the hfs/county thing went on far longer than should have been allowed. You were left in an impossible position - responding feeds the troll, not responding is intolerable and leaving means the troll gets what he wants.

On "running" the board, let me just suggest that one is not always in the ideal position to appreciate how one is perceived by others. As recently as a week ago, spinnaker1, typically a reasonable poster and non-partisan in the troll wars, was after you on this point. Personally, I disagree with him and think you have been measured and moderate in post volume and tone post-"farewell" and return. However, there was a time when I would have found his comment to be spot on, and I don't think I would have been alone in that sentiment.

"there are trolls of different natures...and those who will do anything in their power to discredit a given individual or point of view, regardless of the accuracy of their "proof" or convictions" I was just curious whether you had anyone specific in mind here and whether you think that this definition of trolling should be applied consistently based on behavior fitting the definition.
