Usenet Celebrity

Even Wikipedia knows about "it"

Eccentric personalitiesThese individuals (or user-IDs, or pseudonyms)
are noted for their eccentric, paranoid, or threatening behavior, or
newsgroup trolling activities.

Scott Abraham – skiing enthusiast banned by court order in 1999 from
posting on the Usenet discussion group "rec.skiing.alpine", after
engaging in a flame war with other online posters. The heated
exchanges lasted for months, eventually escalating into death threats,
until a police detective from Seattle posted a request for all
involved to calm down. All involved did except Abraham, which
ultimately led to a court order being filed against him. The
Electronic Frontier Foundation and other civil liberties groups
commented that this violated free speech, but did not deny that
Abraham's aggressive behavior exceeded the boundaries of normal
newsgroup civility.[6]

Serdar Argic – alias used in one of the first automated newsgroup spam
incidents on Usenet, with the objective of denying the Armenian
Genocide, it was an automated bot that made thousands of posts to
several newsgroups (especially "soc.history", "soc.culture.turkish",
and "misc.headlines") in 1994. The deluge of posts suddenly
disappeared in April, 1994, after Stefan Chakerian created a specific
newsgroup ("alt.cancel.bots") to carry only cancel messages
specifically for any post from any machine downstream from the UUNET
feed which carried Serdar Argic's messages.

David D'Amato – former assistant high school principal, he actively
spammed and trolled a variety of newsgroups (particularly "alt.gothic"
and "rec.music.phish") from roughly 1996 to 1999, initiated e-mail
bombings against those he considered "opponents," and solicited for
video recordings of young adult males being bound and tickled, all
while using the pseudonym/alter ego Terri DiSisto, who was supposedly
a female college student. D'Amato was found guilty of e-mail bombings
which caused service outages at a number of colleges and universities,
was fined $5,000 (USD), and spent a year in prison after being
convicted in 2001.[7][8]

Valery Fabrikant – former associate professor of mechanical
engineering at Concordia University, he shot and killed four
colleagues in the school massacre referred to as the Concordia
University massacre. He is currently serving a prison sentence in
Canada. Fabrikant has posted in several newsgroups, particularly
"can.general" and "can.politics", claiming that he is the innocent
victim of a conspiracy against him. These posts can be found at an
archive of his home page.[9]

Hipcrime – called "a leading Usenet terrorist," this user wrote and
distributed software applications that allow users to modify or cancel
newsgroups posts, and to generate large volumes of e-mail spam. These
have been classified as denial of service (DoS) and spamming programs.
The pseudonym is derived from a neologism appearing in the science
fiction novel Stand on Zanzibar by John Brunner. Hipcrime has never
been positively identified and thus it is unknown if it is the work of
a single person or a group.

MI5Victim (Mike Corley, a.k.a Boleslaw Tadeusz Szocik) – paranoid user
who goes through periods of binge posting, claiming that British
intelligence has bugged his home and is sending people to follow him
around and harass him.[10] These allegations are often crossposted to
newsgroups where his messages would be considered off-topic. This has
led to claims that he suffers from paranoia. Since 1995 he has posted
transcripts and snippets of conversations that he has recorded, citing
it as evidence, sometimes years after the actual event. He has also
claimed in his posts that television personalities are often talking
about him in code and are part of the MI5 conspiracy.[11][12] After
applying the cui bono test, many people have found it difficult to
understand why Corley should have been targeted by MI5 (given that he
has no connections/affiliations which would make him of interest), and
cannot see what possible benefit the security services could derive
from such harassment, given that they have always had more pressing
concerns, e.g. monitoring PIRA in the 1990s and later the threat posed
by Al Qaeda. Corley will often cross-post "examples" of MI-5
victimizing him 20 or 30 posts at a time. He has been banned from
posting through Google for his abuse of Usenet,[13] and has been
similarly bounced from most ISPs in England. In the past, his posts
were relatively easy to filter out, due to his similar subject lines
and email address. However, at the start of 2008, he began a series of
posts that avoided filters through sporgery and by slightly varying
his subject line of "MI-5 Persecution", showing an ability to adapt.
In 2007, the opera The Corley Conspiracy by Tim Benjamin and Sean
Starke premiered at the Southbank Centre in London. Corley has his own
web site[14] on which he provides so-called evidence of the
conspiracies against him. Corley has written a book about his
"experiences" with MI5.[citation needed]

Amazing how nobody mentions that the death threats were made against
ME and my friends, not the other way around.
All I did was invite the sick, dickless, stalking cowards who made
death threats to take their best shot. Instead, the same sick,
dickless, stalking cowards went and whined to the cops that the big
mean man wouldn't allow himself to be intimidated.

Absolute, complete, total bull****. Boots and his fellow lying piece
of **** cowards just went anonymous. Then lied to the cops and a
judge.
Amazing how lies propogate.

Holy ****. YOU freaks threatened my life, stalked me in real life,
and I was agressive because I refused to take your crap?
Who's the asshole who wrote this ridiculous entry. Anthea Kerrison?
Boots Hobbs?

IT – A fat & lame skiing enthusiast banned by court order in 1999 from
posting on the Usenet discussion group "rec.skiing.alpine",


Who really cares it is old news about our idiot "it" maybe you can get
them to update the fact that its behavior continues to this day.
But back to the first part nobody cares it is pointless to continue this
everybody knows. If after the first encounter with it you do not need
any warning or continuing public service announcements that it is an
idiot and socially unacceptable.
it craves attention why give it to him??????????????????

week.

But back to the first part nobody cares it is pointless to continue this

So why are you continuing your lies, your defamations, and your
deranged statements, you stupid dumb****?

Holy ****.
A. You've never had an encounter with me, dumb****.
B. Only an idiot would call me it.

Bring it, dumbass. Detroit. Be here. I can get boy scouts that will
bitch slap you and your acquaintances. And they will laugh their
asses off.

But I'm just jesting. Your lard ass will never be within a thousand
miles of Detroit, dumbass.

You can't even waddle across the street to bitch slap someone who
disses you every day, dumbass.

That's because I'm smarter than you. Your lard ass will never be
within a thousand miles of Seattle, for damn sure. Despite your
repeated threats. Ppppppuuuuuussssssyyyyyyyyy.

So why bother. If you stop it becomes a real small footnote in the
history of the internet. Also my bets are in a few years this service
will have less relevance as it will be supplemented by facebook and
twitter and with the ability to block it becomes a better way to go.
Leaving it alone to wallow in its waste is a much better tactic than
trying to engage it in a honest dialog with it.
