QuoteIn an completely unrelated and otherwise normal Star Trek post in Fandom Wank, an anonymouse commented with a long screed blaming Fandom Wank for the death of her friend.[1] Said mouse claimed to be the RL female friend of a known wanker, and said he committed suicide because all the mean girls in Fandom Wank were so gosh darn mean. And stuff. "She" didn't mention him by name at first, but after a few comments, "she" began to imply it was Lovecrafty [Dead Kennedy]. Transparently. And when asked about it directly, "she" confirmed it.
As wankas are not n00bs to pseuicide nor to Lovecrafty, disbelief was rampant, and the comments were soon filled with good ol' internet detectiving and accusations of sockpuppetry. Of course, it turned out to be a not-very elaborate trolling attempt, since Lovecrafty couldn't resist continuing his idiot arguments even after anonymous commenting was turned off in FW, nor resist identifying himself.[2]
May 20, 2009 - Realizing that nobody was particularly impressed by anything he pulled, and that, more importantly, no one was taking him seriously, the poor misunderstood Lovecrafty went on a spamming spree, trying to reply to every Fandom Wank member that replied to anything he ever said, and then some. First, he tried to prove how he was all superior and how he totally fooled all those mean girls at Fandom Wank. The fact that said mean girls were skeptical of his pseudocide from the get go didn't really bother Lovecrafty because, well, that would be Earth logic. When that didn't impress anybody, he pulled out the ever-popular social experiment excuse. And of course the best way to prove his point was through blatant copy-pasting. Seriously, it's like he wrote five paragraphs and kept reusing them ad nauseum in several combinations. Well, it's either that or he's not nearly as original as he thinks he is.
May 21, 2009 - As the futility of his pleas for attention sank in, Lovecrafty went to sf_drama and lashed out in (arguably) the most dramatic fashion yet. Unfortunately, he didn't realize that he forgot to log out, revealing another one of his socks. He speedily deleted the sock journal in question and left in a huff, swearing to return in two years time. (Lovecrafty's comments are screened because they included real names of the people he hates, but armchairshrink wrote up a decent summary.
