The game has been fun. The evidence to support my theory has been collected. And the court of public opinion is now in session. The case of THE PEOPLE vs. CORNHOLIO (aka Blase) is now on the docket.
As you know, on 13 July 2010, I wrote a farewell post titled "LAST CALL"
What you don't know, is that my blog is set to send an email to me, whenever a comment is made on a posting. There were 36 comments of a friendly or benign nature, and two hostile, for a total of 38. The 2 hostile comments came within seconds of each other. Indicating, in my opinion, they were written by the same person...
For the record, I submit EXHIBIT 1 into evidence:
Now if this were all I had to go on, this would have changed nothing. In fact it was icing on the cake that precipitated my decision to leave the blog-o-sphere. But just out of curiosity, I checked the "FEEDJIT" tool in my side bar, just to see what part of the world I had managed to inspire. And for posterity sake, I did a "SCREEN SNAPPER" of the entry.
If it pleases thecourt, I submit exhibit "B" into evidence:
This was curious. The "FEEDJIT" app is designed to be method for friends to show that they dropped by, and didn't necessarily feel compelled to leave a comment. But as you see, it also serves as a forensics collection tool of sorts. It does not provide the IP address used in the HTTP GET request sent to port 80. In fact it only shows the Name of the city where the connection to the INTERNET took place. In other words, The ISP (Internet Service Provider) data center's BORDER ROUTER.
To show what I mean, this is what "FEEDJIT" shows when I access my blog:
It says El Cajon, California. I don't live in El Cajon. But Cox Cable's Western San Diego Data Center has its Internet BORDER ROUTER in El Cajon. This Data center is the Internet Uplink (Default Gateway) for 400,000 customers. So timing is of the essence when trying to determine if this is me, or someone who shares the same data center as me. Is this clear?
Since there is only 1 connection listed from El Cajon, And I know that is where I connect from. It is safe to assume this is me. The "0 secs ago" confirms this was the newest entry. And the "Some Things I Have Learned" confirms this "Screen Snapper" happened on my blog, and not say, at the one Heff has on his blog.
So Mr/Ms ANONYMOUS hails from Cary, North Carolina. And I made the "Screen Snapper" 12 minutes after the connection was made. 5 minute delay between the time Blogger sends the massage, and my POP (Post Office Protocol) client queries the Gmail server,. Another 5 minutes for me to hear the "Got Mail" chime, take a look, read and laugh at this jerk. And another 2 minutes to dicide on a plan and execute the steps needed to collect the "Screen Snapper."
Then at 9:55 AM 20 July 2010 Cornholio (aka Blase) leaves, the now infamous "Pfsst" comment:
But before I can get a Screen Snapper, the FEEDJIT has nothing from Raleigh, North Carolina (the purported Home town of the worlds wisest man).
==============================================================
I needed a way to get more input from Cornholio and his minions.
But how do you get a Narcissist like CORNHOLIO to comply? Oh Mighty Blase! My omnipotent lord of the Ethernet.Would you and a few of your "Greatest Followers" Groupies, please leave a few comments so that I can compare the results against an Anonymous comment I received the other day?
That may have worked. You never can tell when you are dealing with a member of THE ELITE CLASS MENTAL DEFECTIVE LEAGUE.
But I do know how to get them to react. I had a father who had this very same problem. I was an expert at lighting his fuse, and getting him to go POSTAL. Just challenge him in public, and he will dance like a puppet on a string.
But I also needed to clear the decks. Because a loose cannon can not be aimed when it goes off. And I needed to minimize the traffic to my site, so that I could get the data to hold up in this forum. So, I declared WAR on CORNHOLIO, and asked all the friendlies to stand back.
And true to form Mr Blase danced like Mr Bojangles.
30 comments:
==================================================
That was a very disturbed man venting his anger and frustration at everyone but me. None of you commented his blog. But I went over there and strung a slew of sailor words at him. and in response he comes over here and goes through the nasty attack against everyone but me. The only person to take it to the source was the brave Dutch Donut Girl.
God bless the Dutch.
But there's more. when CORNHOLIO went into Messiah Mode, This is what the FEEDJIT Showed:
This address was identical to the one that occurred when Mr/Ms Anonymous came through.
This happened 27 times in one afternoon. But I thought CORNHOLIO lived in Raleigh???
I needed a "CONTROL SAMPLE" another person, who lived in another part of the world, But with some level of certainty as to location... Now who could that be???
Doesn't the Brave DDG live in Holland? Why yes I think she does.
All I needed was a comment from here and a corresponding FEEDJIT...
Well guess what?
And Here's the concurrent FEEDJIT...
That El Cajon entry is the KW. and 0 seconds confirms it is me. And There is the Holland entry, right below it. Hey Dutch Girl! Do you like Apples?
Well how you like them apples?
====================================
The results are obvious. Either CORNHOLIO is the ANONYMOUS commenter. Or there is more than one member of:
THE MENTAL DEFECTIVE LEAGUE,
coming onto the Internet through the same Data Center.
You decide. As for me, CORNHOLIO will never be allowed to leave comments on my blog again.
All comments you make here will be deleted, CORNHOLIO.
GOOD! BAD or INDIFFERENT!
YOU JUST WANTED TO MAKE ME THINK.
YOU SUCCEEDED.
YOU MADE ME THINK YOU ARE AN ASS...
===========================
TOMORROW:
"THE TRUTH. THE WHOLE TRUTH. AND NOTHING BUT THE TRUTH."
