A PSA...

[edwin77.livejournal.com]

For all of you who happen to be among the 500 or so unwilling victims of being friended by the ever-informative antideviantart in his never-ending fight for spam, spam and 'posting wierd things in your journal so you'll be irrisistably tempted to go see them' (his words, not mine, just have a look at this post in deviantart, to see what I'm talking about), I'm going to post here a short description of how to expunge annoyances from your journal, in case you don't already know. Here we go:

if any of you want him to remove you from his/her friend list, go to
http://www.livejournal.com/admin/console/

and type
ban_set antideviantart

He can have his opinion if he likes, baseless though his claims may be, I can accept that. But having a personal gripe with an art site and then bringing it to everyone's front door (i.e. SPAM) whether they like it or not is just plain wrong. He may have his opinion, and others may rightfully have the information needed to un-freind him if they so desire.

That is all.

BECAUSE YOU FLAME, YOU IDIOT!!! The Delete Post feature is there for people like you!
Going around, practically "stalking" me and flaming my posts, as if you had something on me...

I AM an asshole, I AM your fucking nightmare, I DO get under your skin, DEAL WITH IT!

And if you keep fucking with me... I'll be the last.

Hrm... spam attracts flames...

...not entirely surprising is it? And in any case, when did asking you to actually back up your claims account for a flame? I'm sure it counts for that on your planet, not this one. I'm also fairly sure that whatever sphere you come from it's perfectly acceptable to treat a challenge to your opijnion by simply ignoring it as well.

And in any case, I am dealing with you. I've reported you for spamming. And this post has been made in the meantime so people can CHOOSE (I know that's a new concept for you) whether or not they really need someone on their friends list who is a self-professed 'asshole', and whose whole purpose in life seems to be to 'get under your skin'.

The above information you so kindly deleted from any posts asking for their removal from your friends list (hrm, not only do you not wish anyone to disagree with you, you also don't want them to be able to choose... typical spammer).

As for the rest, I quiver in my boots, truly I do...

Also... 'I flame'

It's an intriguing assertion from a guy whose entire journal is bent on flaming Angelo, or whatever his name is, CEO of Deviantart. Flaming him while offering little or any evidence of your claims to boot...

I've seen other 'hate' communties tied to art communities, I am even a polite dissenter in at least one of the art galleries I currently belong to, but I am convinced enough that my opinions are sound enough to stand on their own. I don't need to bludgeon people with them by spamming them, deleting disagreeing opinions I don't like, threatening those that disagree, and so on. If you want to attract respect, show respect. If you want to be taken seriously, then take others seriously.

...and yes, I'm sure that if you look up the help entry for the delete post function it's my name you'll see listed under it.

I need suppy no evidence.
This isn't epinions.com
I'm not a reporter.

Go to google. I just gave you a fair warning...

No, you're right...

[edwin77.livejournal.com]

Ignorance needs no excuse.

A fair warning to what? That you're going to continue spamming people and bludgeoning them into compliance with your little crusade? Threatening those who disagree with you on the basis that your argument doesn't, as yet, hold water?

Oh heavens no, tell me it ain't so.

I do believe you've also been reported for threatening people. Predictably you've come with just enough rope to hang yourself, congrats.

When one makes wild scamming conspiracy accusations, one must expect to be asked to back up said wild scamming conspiracy accusations. I did take a spin through google, though. I didn't find anything particularly shocking. Well?

Okay, here's one for you: Show me irrefutable proof that DA is evil incarnate and will eat my soul if I post my work there, and I'll delete my entire DA gallery. It's gotta be good, now, not more ranting-raving baseless disgruntles accusations. So shock me, big boy.

...You know, the only person I see flinging the poo around is TommyLee. ::blink blink::

[edwin77.livejournal.com]

dmusic evidently a co-founder of 'da revolution!' posted that one already in antideviantart's journal... what's even more pathetic is that he actually thinks that this confirms his assertion about bad customer service from DA.

...Yeah, like anyone in their right mind's gonna give out their phone number to a complete stranger (or, in this case, a complete nutjob) over an IM.

[caelum.livejournal.com]

::shakes head:: The mind, she boggles. I read that thing twice and still don't see any wrongdoing on Altermind's part. And Lee's insistence is nonsensical and creepy.

...he reminds me of a lot of the customers I deal with every night in my real-world job...

You too?

[edwin77.livejournal.com]

Yeah, that seemed very stalker-esque of him to me as well.
