More Wiscon Troller links coming in

As an archivist in this effort, I’m still taking the trouble. Otherwise, I think I would have quit by now. Anyhow, I’m posting new as well as updating the metapost.

Also, because I am linking to troller or almost-troller posts, let me remind the unwary reader/commenter about my policy on trolling on this journal (from the [...]

Meta post about the Wiscon troller

This post is for convenience of people still coming to the scene and wanting to know what happened, and because at the tail end of discussion, I just got a trackback from the Body Impolitic blog.

I’ll add more here if any more appears on my radar (as well probably in an additional post).

Interesting geek knowledge

I didn’t know this before, and it could conceivably help if you happen to be trying to track down a troller by incoming domain name or e-mail address and you find inaccurate WHOIS information.

There is a way of dealing with false WHOIS information. You can report it to the InterNIC and they will process it [...]

Privilege 201: My answer to a straight white guy about privilege

I’m copying/pasting the entirety of my answer here because sometimes comments are deleted from Ask Metafilter if they’re deemed “off-topic” by the moderators.

Anyhow, the original question is here. Essentially this straight white guy read “Unpacking the Invisible Backpack” and is looking for more resources to self-educate, having had eyes open a bit.

More coverage of the WisCon troller

Interestingly, all of these links were on the first three pages of Google results from the phrase “rachel moss wiscon”

A post on SeeLight goes into a discussion of fat politics and the author’s emotional reaction.

But what do you do about trollers?

So now that most of us know who the troller from WisCon is, what do we do about her?

More interesting coverage on the WisCon troller

Various developments in the saga (actual property of being interesting not guaranteed).

Extra bonus advice for our young, foolish troller included at end!

Things 1 and 2

Thing 1: Regarding the troller who took pics of WisCon attendees and contrived to have them posted (unsure whether this was intentional) on Something Awful and mirrored on various Something Awful radical splinter sites (along with sparkling commentary, real names and sometimes also the names of children also in attendance), I was remarking to my [...]

A New Hope

from garrity (mostly a locked LJ, unfortunately for you)

Very cool. Apparently a dust derived from pig can stimulate body part regrowth. Still in planning/testing, it’s being tested with a veteran who needs to grow a finger.

Actually, I am going to say this again

Or at least it feels like again, though maybe it isn’t actually again. Maybe only in my head. It echoes a lot in there when I think stuff like this because it should be obvious, and it never actually seems to be, so the echoing is usually due to the strident rage that’s incipient.

Unfortunately, I [...]
