I dunno man, gathering up all that information to use for legal purposes is one thing (after all, it is all easily found on the internet without doing any real digging) but the fact that when he does put together 'dossiers' on people who poo poo on him online he comes here to share it all with the pretty obvious intent of saying "Look at this loving guy. Hey loving guy, I know where you live" makes it all seem really loving gross.

I can get behind a lot of Smart's hilarious antics, but not this.

You new posters who only joined for the Star Citizen thread, you aren't fighting a war and posting here doesn't mean poo poo, even if you thought you were being a rebel. You're unhappy with the development of a computer game and joined a forum to talk about it, we're laughing at stupid poo poo in a place that values humour.

If you're like "oh I can't laugh at that, that's too far" you've only going to make the thread move the other direction to annoy the poo poo out of you and you'll deserve it.

Derek shouldn't have posted that stuff here and the idiot man in a wheelchair shouldn't have been twitter storming Derek months after being blocked and joking about SWAT'ing him. You don't need to pick the good side involved here, both sides being stupid is absolutely fine.

Yeah, I mean alright. Except I'm not sure what the hell you're talking about.

I threw down my :10bux: because the last thread was hilarious (and had dope recipes). I'm not here to fight a war, I'm here because it's the best seat to watch two retarded kids slapbox each other. Me bitching about D_Smart being scummy isn't going to influence the direction of this thread one bit. If it did this place would be indistinguishable from the Sperghive I'm here to laugh at.

EVE Goons did this to "Preencleve Grothsmore" or however you spell that dumb name.
They dug up his info (he was dumb enough to leave his own personal info, and that of his father, school, father's business, etc all over the internet when he registered a personal site to "bring down those nasty goonz!"), called his grandma, and sent him a pizza. I think they warned his parents what he's been borrowing daddy's credit card for too (in the UK mind, so it was UK goons that did this).

They didn't publish his info online or anything like that though, or encourage anyone to go after him.
I don't think he's turned up again since the parents got involved, or if he has, he's kept a remarkably low profile.

So frankly, Dr Smart calling this kids parents on the quiet and letting them know what a sleazeball their kid is probably wouldn't go amiss. Not sure that publishing anything about the kid (other than his dumbass tweets and reddit posts for hilarity) is necessary for this to work though.

Wait, so all I have to do is piss off the right EVE group and I'll get a free pizza AND they will call my grandma for me? That's great, because I love pizza and I hate talking to my grandma!

I hear writing 'shut up' works just as well.

I'm worried that Chris "The Coke Machine" Roberts might have an unfair advantage being all addled up on drugs the way he be.

We should start a Kickstarter to get Derek "Dr. Smart" Smart some PEDs and maybe boxing lessons. And a new name, because "Dr. Smart" is a dumb fighting name.

So back on the topic of culinary expertise for a moment - have you guys tried grilled cheese with rye bread? I've been mulling over it but haven't taken the plunge. Pros/Cons?

A lot of it depends on the type of cheese, but I know gruyere works really well on rye. I don't do them on rye a lot but actually Martha Stewart has a couple good recipes. I did her fontina, harissa, and pear on rye once and it was delicious.

DSmart, how do you prefer your grilled cheese? Have you meandered into the rye-curious zone? If so, what were your experiences and how did it affect your grilled cheese habits?

Internet Warlords don't care what bread their grilled cheese is made with. They care only that it is served to them on a platter made up of the crushed wheelchairs of their enemies.

its actually the perfect reaction a star citizen could have

lets say they instead of an image hosting site they were doing something with a game engine, like perhaps, Crytek

what they would do is there would be this perfectly serviceable out of the box engine with a few flaws but it runs really great

then they could make a bastardized version and make it run way worse and be janky as poo poo with fewer features and

So our new contender for my WIP blog (latest PDF export) on the abusive White Knights in the Star Citizen community, is [url=]Cristian Romero[/url] aka /user/Tr3vayne/ aka @tr3vayne aka White Knight tr3vayne aka MES3rd on Facebook

If you look at his Reddit and Twitter feeds, he is another one of my top cyberharassers (I'm rounding them all up like cattle, for the blog, then I'm going to link to all their social media feeds) who has engaged in not only doxing me, but also my kid and family members.

"Found his kid online, looks exactly like him."

"Guy needs to go away already for good."

Hey Cristian, since you're an adult over 30, with an actual job, and living in a State (Chula Vista, CA) that has some serious defamation laws like Florida. I'm coming for you. Pucker up.

The list of Usual Suspects thus far; all of who are engaged in a protracted CyberHarassment & CyberBullying campaign. Still reviewing and researching the others. Every single one of them is going to face legal action; and they are all going to be tied to Star Citizen and its abusive White Knight community.
