That's what you get!!

Karma's a #####.

I really hope this ruins their lives.

**edit**

Sorry. Should have tested the link:

Megan Meier suicide controversy - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Basically it's about the backlash received by Lori Drew and her husband.

Various web blogs have picked up the story.

Another:

Darkly Dreaming David

Husband apparently lost his job and the advertising company they own has lost it's customers.

The link worked for me. Apparantly a law has now been passed banning Cyber Harrassment. Also, the parents who set up the bogus web site were getting harrassed so badly - house spray painted , phone calls, etc that they had no peace of mind at all.

Strawman sockpuppet

A strawman sockpuppet is created by a user with one point of view, but acts as though they have an opposing point of view, in order to make that point of view look bad. Such sockpuppets will typically advance foolish straw man arguments which their “opponents” can then easily refute. They often act in an unintelligent, uninformed, or bigoted manner. The effect is to discredit more rational arguments for the same side.
From the Jargon File:
Quote:
sock puppet: n.

[Usenet: from the act of placing a sock over your hand and talking to it and pretending it's talking back] In Usenet parlance, a pseudo through which the puppeteer posts follow-ups to their own original message to give the appearance that a number of people support the views held in the original message. See also astroturfing, tentacle.

Gee do we have a few of those here ..........

Thumbs down Hmm ... bring on the RED

That's what you get!! 12-05-2007 12:54 PM Dumbass: n. See RadioPatrol

to my No Balls Dickless Anon Red Karma Giver;

I go this why ?

Oh and Thanks for the Red Loser; Nice to know I got you fired up ...... even if your reasoning escapes me ......... are ya pissed over the girls suicide and the family responsible ?

While tragic is the other family really responsible for the teen, hanging herself or are you pissed cause I posted in your thread that maybe SOMD Online has a few Sock Puppets of our own ?

Bullying while annoying and emotionally hard dealing with as a teen are hard (I know I was the funny kid that wore glasses in elementary and was a Ghost in the Halls in the 9th Grade, I could not go around one neighbor hood cause there was this fat bastard bullying me) ... I got passed it and moved on - figuratively and physically ( moved houses ) - but thats life growing up

Obviously this woman ( Lori Drew ) was a petty mean spirited ##### to to create a Myspace to see what Megan was "saying" about her daughter after the 2 girls had a falling out (sounds like Lori was more concerned about her daughters reputation) ........... then sending the messages about the world being better off with out her ....... I would consider this malicious and hateful intent, and yeah if it went on for more than a day or so maybe cyber-bullying
but we never hear if Megan told "josh" aka Lori Drew to stop sending the messages only that she got in a fight with her mom about language used to response and computer usage, the next thing is she had hung herself.


Should Lori Drew (who was an adult and should have known better, and seemed more interested in her daughters Reputation and perhaps her own, or family Rep) be keel hauled for sending hateful and cruel messages to an emotionally troubled teen, maybe knowing it would send her "over the edge" leading to Megan's Suicide, maybe prosecuted under any number of Child Predator Laws as suggested here:

Lori Drew now Notorious with Wikipedia Page « Darkly Dreaming David

it would seem "Karma" and payback are a ##### as the Drew's have been ostracized by their neighbors losing jobs and business .... facing numerous death threats, vandalism of home .... causing the local police to expend resources patrolling the neighbor hood


So to my No Balls, Dickless Karma Giver - while bullying is emotionally trying as we grow up Please impart you wisdom jackass as to why I got the RED
