 By George, we got ’em!

The Australian blogosphere’s most unctuous bottom-feeder, Andrew Landeryou, has proved once and for all the maxim “if you sleep with imbeciles, you’ll get dribbled on”.

Acting on a tip-off from Queensland’s most pernicious™ semi-literate blogger, Iain Hall, Landeryou last week “outed” me as one George Athanasi.

Partners in grime: blogging superheroes Rapunzhall and Bankruptus Maximus

The revelation raises several questions about blogging ethics. Leaving those aside, however, the most important question it raises is this: who is George Athanasi? Because it sure as hell ain’t me.

Several weeks ago I decided to test Iain Hall’s oft-repeated claim that he’s not a malicious net-stalker by setting him up. I sent him an email from my Ant Rogenous Gmail account, but changed my name to another fictitious one: George Athanasi.

The premise of my plan was that any decent, ethical person would ignore the name at the top of the screen and content himself with responding to the body of the email. If Hall did this, it would go some way to demonstrating that he is indeed the unassuming “respected conservative commentator” he has claimed; if, however, he chose to focus primarily on my “identity” and threaten to reveal it, it would provide conclusive proof of what most people already suspected: he is full of shit.

Predictably, Hall couldn’t resist the urge to go after “George”. His response began:

George
Thank you for sending me an email and is that really your name?
[…]

The fish was nibbling at the bait; it was time to set the hook. I changed my name back to Ant Rogenous and replied:

Never mind what my name is, Iain.
[…]

Hall’s response came quickly:

George
That must be your name as you have now very hastily changed the name that appears to recipients of emails from this account.
Would you care to offer an argument that makes a case for my discretion in the matter of who you actually are?
[…]

Hook. Line. Sinker.

Two sets of correspondence ensued in which I played up my indignation, eventually making a ludicrous counter-threat that Hall predictably construed as blackmail (more on this later).

Incredibly, Hall resisted the urge to reveal George’s identity outright, publishing instead a password-protected post at his ScroteWatch blog, where he merely reproduced our correspondence alongside my photograph and fake name. The password, imaginatively enough, is “George”.

Despite Hall’s claim that “compassion stayed his hand” in deciding not to out me, he clearly shared the information of my “identity” with at least two other people: fellow wingnuts Leon Bertrand and Andrew Landeryou. The former turned up in the comment thread of the ScroteWatch post, obviously having been given the password by Hall; the latter, of course, revealed all about George on his own blog, naming “conservative Queensland blog patriot Iain Hall” as his source.

Landeryou’s post is ridiculous, even by his usually embarrassing standards. In addition to beating up the non-existent story and quoting an obviously satirical, pun-laden biographical note about Ant Rogenous from Meet the GrodsTeam, he tracked down two real people by the name of George Athanasi and published their addresses.

He owes both of these men a public apology.

As a part of his beat-up, Landeryou also wrote the following about my “blackmail” attempt on Hall:

Legal insiders tell the OC that the threat made by George Athanasi is almost certainly a breach of s.87 of the Victorian Crimes Act, which sets out the offence of blackmail and prescribes a maximum sentence of fifteen years imprisonment for offenders.

So, what was the threat? Here’s what I wrote (since Landeryou conveniently didn’t quote it, preferring instead to make a vague reference to “software privacy (sic)”):

Hi Iain
I trust that your copy of Photoshop is a registered and legally purchased version, as software piracy is a very serious offence. It’d be a terrible shame if you’d obtained the software illegally and someone from Adobe received a tip-off and began asking you some difficult questions.
The easiest way around this tricky situation you might find yourself in is to delete the “Who is Ant Rogenous” post from Scrotewatch and undertake never to refer to me as George again — publicly or privately.
[…]

It’s clearly a preposterous threat, but “blackmail”? Hardly. The section of the Victorian Crimes Act to which Landeryou links hoses down that shrill claim itself:

… a demand with menaces (”blackmail”) is unwarranted unless the person making it does so in the belief-
(a)  that he has reasonable grounds for making the demand; and
(b)  that the use of the menaces is proper means of reinforcing the demand.

Since Hall was threatening to reveal, without my consent, an identity he’d gleaned from my private correspondence, any claim that my threat constitutes blackmail is laughable.

Landeryou’s “legal insiders” seem to be as daft as his source for the information about “George”. But just who are these legal heavyweights to whom he defers? The GrodsInvestigationUnit has narrowed the suspects down to two:

  1. The customer-service professional at Brunswick KFC who once patiently explained why Landeryou could not legally use eight two-for-one Colonel Burger vouchers in a single transaction. It is believed that Landeryou was so impressed, he immediately entrusted this 16-year-old with his legal counsel.
  2. Self-proclaimed superlawyer Leon Bertrand (pictured below).

“Goo-gah-brrrrrrrr. The prosecution rests”

So, what have the events of the past couple of weeks taught us?

First, Iain Hall is a malicious, unethical net-stalker who, in the absence of an ability to debate intelligently or in good faith, goes after the personal lives of his political opponents, and will swallow the most tenuous bit of bait — which any sane person would recognise immediately for a hoax — if he fancies it’ll give him some leverage. Brigid Gread demonstrated this some time ago with her (admittedly far more complex) sting. Already once bitten, Hall showed that he’s not intelligent enough to be twice shy.

Second, Andrew Landeryou is a miserable, odious peddler of bullshit whose inability to conduct his own research or even rely on that of credible sources gives a good insight into why his business ventures were doomed to abject failure.

In short, we’ve learned nothing we didn’t already know.

People who reside in several safe-houses
to avoid creditors shouldn’t thrown stones

Game off.

PS: Elsewhere, I note that Landeryou is threatening to reveal the identity of another blogger, Chief Bastard (CB) of Bastards Inc. Despite the fact that CB is a malicious, contemptible turd himself, I don’t condone what Landeryou claims he’s about to do. Hopefully “George Athanasi” has taught him to keep it in his pants — or, at the very least, get his facts straight if he’s intent on waving it around.

    Ant, my friend, you went to a freakin’ shitload of effort just to use the headline “By George” but a superb effort it was — matched as always with superb photoshopping.

    Ha ha. Well done Ant, Hall has again been exposed as a stalker, a liar and the dumbest cretin on the internet. Landeryou has shown himself in his true light as usual.

    And the dribbling, bearded, moron, Hall, has gone onto write a holier than thou post about internet anonymity. No wonder people use nom de plumes when dealing with him.

    Leon should distance himself as far away as possible from Hall.

    Oh by the grace of god…

    Never, I mean never has someone been sooooo stitched up in a bucket of lies, deceit, hubris, hypocrisy, delusion and self denial. In fact the same bucket he was born in.

    Adding to the bucket soup, Hall;s last comment says:

    Ant
    I have nothing to do with anything written by Landeryou, nor did I tell him your name or even the password to the post about you.

    Ant, congratulations on exposing Hall for what he really is.

    I also notice that once “outing” someone, he starts calling them by their supposed first name, like they’re buddies having a tiff.

    Even with THR who hates him more than anyone and Hall; calls him “Matthew”.

    Well done Ant, however one correction… my sting on Hall wasn’t “far more complex”, in fact it was much the same. I simply had someone slip Hall some information and he ran with it, like a stupid hyena skulking away from a carcass. The beauty of setting Hall up is that he does so much while you need to do so little. And the beauty of this particular set-up is that ‘Born to Blog’ is currently offline, so by the time he learns he’s been stung, the whole Internets will have been laughing at him for days.

    Bridgit, given that logic and Iain’s ongoing quest to campaign to end all those spurious rape allegations, I think we could have more disturbing pieces of dogma to deal with.

    “Consent by one of them is consent by all?”

    Consider it a reductio. I hope Hall does as well. The alternative to him wising up on this count is just too demented, although sadly I’ve come to expect the worst from him.

    More like “false allegation by one is a false allegation by them all” (Iain doesn’t mention rape except in the context of false accusations thereof).

    I just read his incredible version of the “I hate Iain” club.

    BG: ‘an attack by one of you is an attack by all’. As though all of us are somehow surgically joined at the mouse. Wanker.

    His whole rant is based this as bizarre assumption. We could say nothing for months but if one person says a single thing …we all did it. His logic is shocking! You would think he hasn’t done a thing wrong.

    Remember the game at school where you are told something and you have to whisper it to the next kid. They then whisper it to the next kid and so on. At the end you have something completely different. Well, Hall does it to himself. He keeps passing around the situation to himself and after 2 days, what he first thought is completely different. A real jumble of shit.

    I also love the piece on me.
    In the end the only ways to stay clean are to totally abstain which Wright refuses to even consider.

    He seems to keep missing the fact I am on methadone/morphine treatment from a doctor. He still has no idea what my blog is even about and in typical RW style looks for the juicy bits. At least 50% of my posts are why abstinence based policies never work. Funny enough those who push the total abstinence agenda are the very people I criticise most. They all have the same traits which Hall; fits in with perfectly - ignorance, sensationalism, self righteousness, self importance, lack of evidence for their views, stupidity etc. How ironic.

    I can safely say, he is the one person I would not swap my position for.

    I suspect if you pinned Iain Hall down under his Noddymobile, trepanned a quarter-inch bore hole into his skull and poured in two pints of ‘TRUTH’, it’d still leak out and stain the gravel. He’s beyond all possible redemption.

    I agree BG.
    I am starting to get bored with him as he just keeps twisting everything his way. He can’t distinguish truth from Iain;s truth. I would love to check his gravel.

    Like AWH, I gave up after a while. I think I am past the “alarmed they are so stupid” stage and the same with Hall;. As Ant once said, it’s like banging your head against a bearded wall.

    Face it, he has no value except for laughs but now it’s getting sad. I keep thinking that he has kids and a wife. That is the real worry. I’m fairly sure though, they just avoid him or ignore him if he hangs around.

    I say we just ignore him completely. Give him what he wants. If he ever comments just delete it. NO MORE HALL; I for one would welcome the idea that I would never have to read his creepy, illogical dribble again. I’d rather be doing the dishes.

    I say we just ignore him completely. Give him what he wants. If he ever comments just delete it.

    I doubt he wants that, Terry.

    He was ignored by the Grods lot here (as far as I can see), myself, and others and even apparently Bourbon Boy for an extended period earlier this year which eventually resulted in a binge on his part. Abstinence approaches don’t work for him either.

    As for deleting his comments. Been doing it for two years now (with the exception of his more recent trackbacks to his dross) and that has worked somewhat better.

    It’s the real-world stuff that is the stuff that I think we have the most difficulty ignoring. Contacting clients, employers, colleagues and so on. Then there is the worries about those that are closest to him (which thankfully I’m not mandated to consider or act upon ala mandatory notification - I’d hate to be in those shoes).

    I’ve made a habit of commenting on the online thuggish behaviour of RWAs, but Hall’s constant featuring (a function of his efforts and the proximity of his targets) is beginning to bother me. I’d rather someone else take his niche or something (although the last time that happened, Iain just joined in).

    In general, I think you are right though. Ignoring him won’t stop his antics, but for the most part it’s probably better for us and our blogs. It’s probably just the extra-blogospheric crap we should be responding to, and then perhaps not online but rather in some official capacity.

    Damian, were you insinuating that I had no dog in this fight? I don’t, but it’s piss-funny watching it.

    It all started to go wrong once that ;;;; threw himself under the king’s horse in the Derby.

    LOL this is so funny.

    If I’d accidentally disclosed my real name in one of my many fake name email accounts (keeps the stuff private you want to keep private from the wife), I’d say I’d made it all up to trick you.

    What a good one.

    I reckon though if I was actually tricking someone and wanted to convince them later I might devise a name that was an anagram for something like Cupid Stunt, not a name that kinda doesn’t mean anything at all.

    Sorry George/Ant, I don’t think many people believe you.

    How delightful. The rightard blogosphere is going to spend Friday night airing out the sock drawer.

    Name them.

    Name ten, at least.

    It’s not hard to find cretins. This is no challenge.

    Nice link, Slandy (Not Buying George’s Lies). So let me get this straight: now I’m not living in either Preston or Heatherton — I’m a 38-year-old former footballer in Sydney’s south west?

    Brilliant.

    You just watch your back in Bankstown, pal. And be mindful of sliding tackles when you play for the SW Strikers.

    Slanderyou is to sleuthing as Bertrand is to lawyering.

    You mean like if you’d accidentally typed in ‘Andrew Landeryou’ when you were posting that comment?

    …and as ;;;; is to spelling and John Surname is to streaking.

    My name is not really Smeary Jeer but if you can guess who I am from my insanely high-pitched voice, I’ll let you play with my X-box and hard core porn collection.

    Fuck off, you tit (FOYT).
