Trolls Are Bad People

Posted on | April 5, 2014 | 104 Comments

Spend enough time in online New Media and eventually you discover that people who do bad things on the Internet are also usually bad people in real life, too. One of the predictable habits of bad people on the Internet is the use of multiple fake “sockpuppet” accounts to attack their enemies. Neal Rauhauser’s “Gaped Crusader” harassment against Patterico was a classic example of this pattern.

When you see a troll behaving that way online, it’s safe to assume that the troll is a wretched excuse for a human being. Confirmation of this is a long, long post Bullyville put up about Tom Retzlaff of San Antonio, Texas. Retzlaff is such a slimy creepazoid I’m astonished that Texas ever let him out of prison.

After he got out of prison, Retzlaff lied on his application to the MBA program at the University of Texas at San Antonio (UTSA), falsely claiming to be a veteran of the Iraq and Afghanistan wars.

When Retzlaff’s dishonesty was exposed (evidently as a result of his harassment of a Chinese foreign exchange student at UTSA), Retzlaff then sued various university employees for defamation. But somehow, despite being a convicted felon, Retzlaff lied his way into a job as a private investigator for a law firm. He got fired from that job in 2012 and then sued the law firm.  Retzlaff has tried unsuccessfully to get his criminal record expunged, but that was before he made the mistake of going to war against Bullyville.

And now you can go to TomRetzlaff.com and see all the gory details.

Pay special attention to the divorce records. Real ugly stuff there.

Advice to trolls: You don’t want to mess with Bullyville.

    The only alternate reality here is the one that exists inside your pointy head. posting history is all I need to see what you are. Your statement to Jeanette is as sorry as it comes with a leftist troll.

    she see no difference between

    You bet i see difference & similarities. Your straw man won’t suffice. Claims of stalking on twitter won’t suffice either. I asked you for your evidence of the said person’s DOXing, you haven’t provided it. Without that solid proof, it is not moral of you to ask anyone to DOX her on your behalf.

    No, you see no difference. In your world no one can defend themselves against you ilk. You morons are always right and just and no one will ever dissuade you.

    I’ve said you were nuts repeatedly. I’m actually being kind when I say that. Actually you’re insane. We long ago ceased to derive any benefit from your presence and the longer you stay the worse you become. It’s long past time you were banned.

    Frankly I’ve come to the conclusion she is probably insane. I think she needs to be banned. Wombat’s attention has been diverted for awhile. Perhaps he’ll see to her behavior when he returns from the tax mines.

    She also has a serious reading comprehension problem. Asking someone to sue another is not doxing.

    April 5th, 2014 @ 8:16 pm

    When an anonymous person endangers someone’s livelihood and possibly their safety they NEED to be exposed.

    @NicoleBonnet1’s stalking of me is well documented

  16. Anamika
    April 6th, 2014 @ 1:11 am

    Sue on what grounds? twitter stalking? Like i said, it works both ways and twitter TOS is enough to take care of that.

    I have gone through a lot of evidence available online, it’s true Victoria has been a target but there is no proof that the person behind NicoleB on twitter is the one who is involved in these attacks–outside of twitter (for ex: RipoffReport posting.) Jeanette might be claiming that this person(s) is NicoleB out of paranoia, actually she could be counter-sued if she keeps doing this.

  17. Anamika
    April 6th, 2014 @ 1:17 am

    The problem is when you connect the two. There could be any number of sociopaths out there who might want to see you suffer. You got to be careful when making assumptions about anonymous ids with certainty.

  18. Anamika
    April 6th, 2014 @ 1:38 am

    “Asking someone to sue another is not doxing.”

    Really? Come on! That’s not what she meant, just open your eyes. Of course she would love to see her sued, but first she wants her to be Doxed.

    She is very disparate asking for help from anyone who can help her Dox NicoleB. Bullyville is just one in line, she would approach any one (even employ criminal means/help) to DOX her alleged tormenter. And she doesn’t even have the good sense to use an anonymous id even if her actions border on criminality.

    You guys need to counsel her to handle her problems in a mature way instead of encouraging her paranoia. QM, you have a responsibility.

    I have done my research, extensively now. I sympathize with Jeanne’s plight. But the way she is handling all the online harassment (going back for over 6 years now), is not totally helping her. In fact she is complicating things and inviting more trouble by soliciting help from dark corners. She can be taken advantage of by these shady characters. I’m giving you a heads up on this.

    I believe that the persona known as “Anamika” is here simply to stir up s**t, to disrupt conversations. I’ve seen this behavior in many other blogs.

    “She” (if the person behind “Anamika” is actually female) changes her approach on a routine basis. One post actually approaches coherence, the next is pure gibberish. A bit later, the concern troll briefly emerges, followed by the hardcore leftie “she” started out as a long time ago.

    The charitable would say “she” is bipolar. Well, charitable I ain’t. Anamika is an operator, a persona created for the purpose of harassing conservative blogs, enticing commenters into saying things that might be used against them, or against the blog host. I find it hard to believe otherwise, given “her” changing shtick of late.

    “She” is nucking futz in the sense that “she” espouses leftie (i.e. communist or marxist) doctrine with enthusiasm and glee. Such people are mentally ill in the first place, but that doesn’t mean we shouldn’t treat them as a threat.

    Research? You? You can’t tell the difference between doxing and suing and you are going to tell me you are capable of any sort of research that could reliably yield results? You don’t possess the required critical thinking skills to producer such.

    Pardon me while I go have a good laugh at your ridiculous claims…..

  27. Anamika
    April 6th, 2014 @ 4:18 pm

    She certainly want to dox, not sue (in her own words) as I found out elsewhere.

    As I suspected, you have utterly nothing. Trying to find someone so you can defend yourself is NOT DOXING. I hate using caps like that but you have been beyond stupid! Your also a liar of the fist class.
    Get off this blog. You have no business here and all you cause is trouble with your lies and trolling.

    Stacy and Wombat, I appeal to you. Ban this troll.

  34. Anamika

    I’m sorry you don’t see it that way. Hackforums is a notorious place for anyone to approach for help on such matters.

    This is what she said:

    I only want one thing to find out who this stalker is.

    That’s DOXING, and through any means given the nature of the forum. She claims to have paid over a thousand dollars for someone who cheated her off her money. And she is now offering to pay to hackers at HF again to find the real life identity of NicoleB (doesn’t matter if she was/not involved in attacks on her that were other than twitter stalking.)

    This is kinda like a rape victim who approaches all sort of thugs to find one who might help her track down and attack rapist thugs.

    What if her opponents and tormenters find that post? Would they not go to any extent (even pretending to help her track down what she wants) and cheat her even further? What if NicoleB finds out? Wouldn’t she have ammo against her when it comes to legal merits if both of them actually sue each other.

    Please QM, see it for what it is. There are so many things wrong with that post at HF. Jeanne is naive and needs proper guidance from people that are wiser(folks like u that she might listen to) if she wants to go after somebody/anybody. For now, it seems to be that she is totally obsessed with the real life identity of NicoleB and is willing to go to any extent to get her suspicions confirmed.

  35. Quartermaster
    April 7th, 2014 @ 6:13 am

    That is not doxing. There is nothing wrong with finding out who someone is so you can defend yourself. Of course a person of the Satanic Left would not understand that.

  36. Anamika
    April 7th, 2014 @ 9:22 am

    F*** the semantics, I will give you that… let’s say I agree she isn’t doxing.

    You say, “There is nothing wrong with finding out who someone is so you can defend yourself.”

    Yes, but by what means? Hacking?

    Unfortunately, hacking is never ever justified in courts. As long as you are never caught…that is…

    It isn’t justified in the court of law even for large corporations that are victims of hacking attacks who take steps to not only protect themselves but actually go after the hackers by hacking them back and exposing their real identities etc.

    Making a public post at a notorious hacker’s forum with your real life id, is inviting trouble from everywhere (NicoleB, law, other attackers of Jeanne over a period of 7 years, hackers themeslves and the law.)

    Imagine what sort of help she is asking from hackers everywhere in private conversations.

    Asking Bullyville for help is one thing (they are conservatives who look out for your best interests) but how can she trust hackers and others who are ANONYMOUS themselves?

    Jeanne’s online troubles began 7 years ago beginning with Rev. Sutter. She (a strong social conservative) came into contact with NicoleB(a rabid liberal) during FreeKate campaign a few moths ago. They tussled online on twitter and NB searched her on google and found some really crazy shit (courtesy of old Rev Sutter campaigns against Jeanne). NB attacked Jeanne with this info, and taunted Jeanne that she cannot find anything to hit her back with. She has history only on twitter, and a prolific one with over 20k tweets, so the best she could find was an alleged tweet doxing a 9 year old. In the meanwhile more online attacks on Jeanne contnued with RipoffReport posting, which she successfully defends herself with help from ex-con Lemmen and others. She claims NB is behind that posting. And now she wants to expose NB’s real life id and see her suffer. This is not about stopping alleged atatcks and protecting herslef from NB. This about PAY BACK and the joy that comes from seeing your opponent suffer like you had. There were so many transgressions by anonymous ids and attacks and posting online about Jeanne on the net for a period of 7 years. Except for Rev. Sutter none were ever exposed or their attacks removed from net. NB cannot be blamed for all the shit that (unfortunately) exists about Jeanne on the web.

    It seems as if Jeanne believes she has nothing more to lose, so let me see someone suffer, but by what means?

    Finding out exactly who a cowardly anon is the best way to shut them up and get law enforcement involved. Of course being a liberal means that you are find with anonymous cowards who post defamatory lies about someone and harass then of line.

    You really are one nasty troll who should be banned

    April 7th, 2014 @ 6:41 pm

    Too bad for you. Being a troll yourself I can see why you would feel as you do. Fortunately the law says different and the breach of anonymity has already taken place for Corporations defending themselves. Jeanette is well within her rights to ask a court to compel such a revelation. She was doxed and is trying to defend herself. That is not matter of semantics, so you can go do something anatomically impossible to yourself for all I care. Your a liar and troll and you have no business here among decent people.

    Go away and stay that way.

  46. Anamika
    April 8th, 2014 @ 12:43 am

    Quartermaster says, “Jeanette is well within her rights to ask a court to compel such a revelation.”

    That’s a straw man. You got nothing more.

    Paying hackers to find the real life identity of an anonymous person on web is NEVER right; if the hacker actually follows through/acts, then it is a crime (no matter your rationalizations and justifications.)

    Looks like the “concern troll” has been busy “she” created a new account to warn a deranged stalker and escalate.

    If by “concern troll” you refer to me, and implying that is I created some “new account” and warned somebody, let me categorically say that person isn’t me (Anamika.)

    Second, if my comments about your post at HF in thread led to NicoleB being alerted by someone…well you should have seen it coming and taken proper precautions. TOM is a very popular blog and search results show up easily on google. moreover it’s not like you didn’t want NicoleB to see (/get alerted of) what you were doing at HF. You shouldn’t have used your real name and the conservativehideout url (without shortening it using tinyurl.com etc) that would easily show up on google. I really don’t see why you would complain about “escalating” as you are the only person who is responsible.

    I’m certainly concerned with your well being. (See my comment to you from 12 days ago.) I know you suffered a lot in life. You are elder than my grandma. And i don’t understand why your friends don’t counsel you, instead they seem to encourage you (Quartermaster, Lemmen et al) in this “escalation”. I also kindly advice you to NOT employ any illegal means like using anonymous hackers in your vendetta.

    Also, please refrain from making assumptions that I am AnemoneB or NicoleB is the same person who posted at RipoffReport. You can suspicions but without solid evidence they are mere delusions (at least it is so in my case.)

    I know what the term “strawman” means and it does not mean what you think it means.
    You’re also demonstrating why everyone here thinks your simply an idiot troll. The “hacker” is trying to gaslight her. She has the right to defend herself and if that means a court compels the revelation of who the perp is, courts have done it before. You are welcome to rave as much as you like and your stupidity will not change the fact that she has the right to defend herself, and enter into open court to start that process.
