a very good start to the new year

Back from a refreshing New Year's at the Villainschloss, and... WHAT, HO! GOOD NEWS!

Other bloggers, far more capable than I, are on the case re: The Mad Commenter, probably lux bearer, who's been leaving comments in my name on other people's blogs.

Well, we don't have a name, but this idiot is anonymous no longer.

This is a post from headspin's weblog (in its entirety) that identifies our idiot's tracks:

A troll, masquerading behind BigHominid's id (his own is probably lux bearer, but he's shy, you know), has been entertaining (right handedly) himself lately, copy-pasting 3 MB (in my case) of meaningless text (update: Not so meaningless; these texts are posts by BigHo) in my comments and over at Marmot's.
Whoever is masquerading behind the id 'Kevin' has actually helped me: such events can't happen any longer... Nice try. I love it when people help me perfect my blog tool...

So if you have the means to track this guy, feel free to hunt his ass down! Hee hee. And now I'll be more alert to pacbell.net visitors, whom I can track on SiteMeter.

Yes, I love a good start to the new year.

(With thanks to dda of headspin.)

UPDATE: If you're a blogger with a comments section who'd like to weed out your own set of assholes, check out dda's post here for hints on how to shore up your comments section. I love it. In the meantime, the idiot still hasn't figured out how to leave posts in my own in-box. Also, be sure to check out dda's entry in the comment thread of this post. We may have identified our idiot by name:

So...

Either Martin Schobesberger or Christian Steger... anything to say for yourselves? It's only a matter of time before I find out where in Austria (or elsewhere) you actually live. Heh heh. I might want to congratulate you personally on your efforts.

(once again, many thanks to dda for doing all the cyber-legwork, and to lux bearer/Martin/Christian/Silly Sally for increasing my site traffic.)

UPDATE, January 19: Kevin at IA got hit with some lux bearer-style shit, but he tracked the IP address: 211.91.112.219. According to an IP tracker, this places this particular fuckhead in Beijing.

Keep those idiots a-comin'! They're too stupid to figure out how to attack me directly (STILL didn't figure out my comments section, lux bearer?), so they try attacking everyone else. Luckily, everyone else is smarter than the fuckheads, so where's the problem?

Our list of asshole IPs has therefore grown! Behold:

64.161.246.100 (UNITED STATES asshole)
64.160.0.0 - 64.175.255.255
64.161.246.96 - 64.161.246.111

212.41.244.254 (AUSTRIA asshole)
212.41.244.240 - 212.41.244.255
212.41.224.0/19

211.91.112.219 (BEIJING, CHINA asshole)

And they remain as dickless as always.

UPDATE, January 20: More shit on Kevin at IA's site, this time from IP 61.145.75.162 . And this comment from KimchiPig to IA Kevin:

Kevin,
Seems that Lux Idiot is really mad. Perhaps it is his latent homosexuality. I really pissed him off on my site today and since you linked to me, I think that he has taken it out on you. I just wish he would take his sorry ass out of Australia and get it back to Korea...the country he claims to love so much.

Sorry, Brother!

Kimchipig

Oh, yes... the country would be so much better off with lux bearer around... heh.

BTW, IP 61.145.75.162 is also in Beijing. He's probably moving around Net cafes, too much of a coward to want to be traced. This is classic lux bearer: adopt the tactics of the cowardly terrorists he loves and worships. I laugh at his pitiful, broken-English ass.

RECOMMENDATIONS:

1. Ban me! Yes, you read me right! Ban "Kevin Kim" from your comment threads.
2. Email me at my Hotmail address to let me know you did so.
3. I'll still post comments on your blog, but under aliases, assuming your comments feature isn't too finicky about ID.
