Harassing behavior by a reader of alt.support.attn-deficit
Tim Brown
Last Thursday, I suffered life-threatening external and internal injuries
as a result of harassment and abuse by one of the regulars in this
newsgroup. My right knee is still bruised and purple from the day's
events (which I am not going to rehash).
The user in question is William Mullin. Look under wmullin@* in
DejaNews, and you will find that about one-third of his approximately 500
Usenet posts dating back to 1995 are personal attacks against me and
members of my family. I have complained to NYX.NET, his provider, and was
confronted by Paul Gregg, administrator of NYX.NET, babbling that abusive
e-mail and rogue cancels sent by Mullin were "free speech".
Here are some samples of Mullin's libelous posts. I challenge anybody
to show me what legal basis there is to allow these posts to go
unpenalized:

LETTERS
Dear sirs,
I wish to call to your attention that a member of your employ,
Mr. Tim Brown, has an outstanding debt of $483.78 for our fine
products. Please have this bill paid at once, or you will be
referred to a collection agency.
President, American Plunger Company
[Mr. Brown is no longer employed by _The Last Word_. His last
known address is somewhere in Highland Heights, KY. I wish you
the best of luck in finding him. -- Ed.]

LETTERS
I understand Marvel Comics hasn't used the word Spiderman in 3 weeks. Is
it okay if I start publishing Spiderman comics? -- RR
[Marvel Comics had the good sense to trademark the name and likeness of
the "Spiderman" character (unlike Tim Brownshirt, who couldn't be
bothered with legal issues; instead, he chooses to sit home and stick
foreign objects in his rectum). -- Ed.]

YET ANOTHER DREAM
This takes place in the basement of my house, near the laundry room.
The family cat (who ran away in 1990) is the star of the show in this
movie-in-the-mind. She is quite agitated, her paws scratching behind
the washing machine. Suddenly, she siezes hold of her quarry. Slowly,
she pulls her "catch-of-the-day" towards her, and draws it into her
mouth. With her prey firmly in her jaws, she carries it to the bedroom,
where she can amuse herself by capturing the helpless mouse over and
over again. She drops the mouse, who tries to scamper away. The cat
pounces, and is victorious once again. Her claws dig in a little more
each time the game comes to an end. After a short time, the mouse
expires.
It was a Brown mouse.
----------
Prominently featured in this
story is Crisco (tm) oil. This, no doubt, is a reference to the sexual
abuse suffered by Tim from his father (see _The Last Word_ vol 5, num 14).
Crisco (tm) was obviously the lubricant of choice for the elder Mr. Brown.
----------
KROGER REVISITED
What is the "Kroger Incident"?
Why did Tim Brown hide his identity?
Who is John Gault [1] ?
These questions (and more) will be answered in this weeks's ish of
_The Last Word_.
Timmy loved to go shopping with his mother. His fondest memories
were of being placed in the kiddie seat, and being wheeled up and
down the aisles. He would always stretch out and try to knock items
off the shelves with his tiny arms, although these attampts were
without success, and swiftly followed by a slap (*smack* "Stop it,
Timmy! Do that again, and I'll leave you in the trunk of the car.").
Alas, Timmy grew older (but not wiser), and soon was unable to fit
it the child's seat as he once was. Still, he tried to squeeze in
the cart any way he could.
"Get *out* of the cart, Timmy!"
"Push me, mommy! I wanna go for a ride!"
"You can't fit in there anymore!"
"Can so! Watch me..." *CRASH*
["David, pickup in aisle 6... again."]
Alas, Timmy was forced to abandon all hopes of ever riding in the
cart ever again. Instead, he had to maneuver the cart himself, in
a very inept fashion. He would weave drunkenly down the aisle,
bumping the cart against shelves and other customers. Often he
would angrily react against the food items that were sitting on
his former throne.
"Bad lettuce! *smack* Bad bad lettuce! *smack* *smack* *smack*"
"Timmy! Stop hitting the eggs!"
["David, cleanup in aisle 8."]
Under his mother's watchful glare, Timmy would roam the aisles
of the Kroger supermarket, staring at the colorful packaging while
his mother poked the produce. He was convinced that Toucan Sam was
laughing at him as he struggled to push the cart. "Stupid Moonie
bird. Your beak is ugly."
Timmy looked up, just in time to see his mother picking up a
container of Crisco (tm). He was horrified to see the words
"ECONOMY SIZE" written on the side. He didn't know what the words
meant, but he could see that it was the largest one on the shelf.
He shuddered with the memory of his father entering his bedroom
at night, holding a bottle of the stuff, and panting excitedly.
There was no escape from this ritual, as Mr. Brown would beat him
if he resisted.
Seeing his mother holding the large package, Timmy knew what the
next few months would bring.
Mrs. Brown checked the price tag on the Crisco (tm), and was pleased
to see that it was on sale this week. She also had a coupon, which
meant that she would save a few cents more. She congratulated herself
of her shopping savvy, though she sometimes wondered why they ran out
of it so frequently at home. She turned to look for the shopping cart,
and her idiot son.
Timmy charged forward, aiming for the neatly stacked pile of Crisco
(tm).
With a feral yowl, he crashed the cart into the cans, bottles, and jars.
" I hate you, Crisco (tm)! I hate you hate you HATE YOU!!!" He caused
such a ruckus that the store manager came out to witness this bizarre
scene.
Mrs. Brown and her son were escorted from the store, and told that they
could never return. Patrons of the store would talk about the strange
"Kroger Incident" for years to come.

If you want to talk about 'legal basis' you should talk to a lawyer.

It's a long story. Just accept that this is what happened, because the
person who has been harassing me is so devoid of any conscience whatsoever
that he derives joy from the fact that I was injured as a direct result of
his activities.

Don't listen to him! It's a seeeecret. Luckily, I used MentoSuck 2.3.2b to
hack the information from his brain. It's a rather interesting story that
involves a roving band of (badly scarred) McDonalds characters (the Hamburgler
bruised his knee, BTW) responding to a message forged in Tim Brown's name
saying, in fact, "MCDONALDS SUCKS! ALL MCDONALDS EMPLOYESS SUCK! THE FRY
GUYS MUST DIE!". But it's a rather lengthy tale, and grows rather disturbing
at about the time Ronald decided to show Tim "How it feels having a real man",
so I will spare you.
Careful what you say, they'l come after you next. <shudder>
Little Latin Lupe
My god, if this isn't some of the most hilarious stuff I've ever read
on USENET, I don't know what is... Can there possibly be a more
self-involved kook in this world than Tim Brown? I invite everyone to
please check out this thread on alt.support.attn-deficit. It is truly
priceless. Start with the earlier thread "Thank You For Caring" and
then follow with this. You will laugh until you cry.

I'm sure that Gary Burnore believes you. After all, when he claims (without
proof) that someone has harrassed him via usenet, we're expected to believe
him without asking questions.

Is Gary claiming that people who claim to be harrassed via usenet are crazy?
Hmmm ...

One Peter Hood has taken to repeatedly libeling another whenever this
other participates on some newsgroup and shares his views. Peter does
this by repeating over several days lies and intentional misrepresentation
of past posts. He has done this several times now and it is harassing to
both the one victimized and to other newsgroup readers (who are also
victims). What can be done about this Peter?
