Title: Troll Alert
Post by: Gayle on January 26, 2014, 12:41:24 PM

Some of you know that just before Christmas, a nasty internet troll going by the name of Arthur Goldstein sent some abusive and threatening messages via Facebook to some fans of New Model Army.
The messages were reported and the profile disappeared but it is back, still claiming to make home-made cat porn.
Just a warning to anyone who may get offended by this pathetic creature. You can block and report abuse. It is right to do so.
This is the profile.

This post is not intended to be on any way inflammatory as regards previous incidents but just like people need to be aware of peadophiles in their village to protect their children, we need to be aware of manipulative scumbags operating in our own back yard.

Wasn't Arthur Goldstein the main "subversive" in Orwell's 1984?

The account has apparently been removed again. But not before at least two more people received hate mail. Hopefully gone for good.

I really do find it hard to understand what these people get out of it. It sounds like they put a lot of work and effort into pursuing their bazar hobby. Some people call them Keyboard Warriors, but to my mind at least, a Warrior attacks you as is face to face. I would refer to these people  as  - Covert Keyboard Commandos. When a Commando attacks on a covert op, he wears camouflage, in a broader sense, changes his appearance / identity before he attacks.

All very sad. I hope legislation catches up with what has clearly become a major problem in modern life.

glad I am not a user of "the other place"
