'gangster', banned posters, and impostors - some notes

Submitted by libcom.org on March 30, 2006

Many people here will be aware of the poster, gangster (who we shall call "T" here), who was banned a couple of weeks ago after many disruptive and abusive posts over the past couple of years, including physical threats against other forum users. This culminated recently in him launching a large number of unprovoked verbal attacks on the Anarchist Federation, its events and some of its members.

Having been repeatedly warned, had posts and threads deleted and then given a final warning he continued to disrupt threads and was banned.

Since then he re-registered with the username "Arthur Scargill" and continued his attacks on the AF. When he was re-banned he claimed to the libcom.org group that he was in fact a well-known anarchist "Dave D" (full name omitted, but people who know him know him...) and could we please let him back on. Consequently, knowing Dave D as a good comrade we let him back on, but it soon became apparent that Arthur Scargill really was T after all, and he had falsely used Dave's name to attack the AF and re-gain entry to this forum.

If anyone has received any private messages from "Arthur Scargill" purporting to be from Dave - they are not. If you have let us in the libcom.org team know.

Dave has requested that we inform people that he is:

...outraged that anyone within the movement would have the cheak to pretend to be someones elses ideas and responses, its the worst kind of theft, and highly dangerous in sowing division in an already highly fractured movement.

We thought we would take this opportunity to make the general point that posters imitating other individuals will not be tolerated, and we are not stupid, we will find out who you are, announce what you have done and you will be permanently banned from these forums.

We have decided not to reveal T's real identity, but his actions were inexcusable - using someone else's real identity to carry out his sectarian shitstirring. We would also like to thank the posters who informed us of their suspicions, and request that people do let us know of any suspect posters on the boards.

Jesus that's shocking. What a prick. I thought he was a bit of a fool but that's disgraceful. And aren't Dave and T both in the CWF? Jesus i'd say the next time they meet at a conference would be fun. What an utter twat.

If you search the CW forums on here, you will discover that gangster doesn't exactly see eye-to-eye with others in CW already. :wink:

I was pretty shocked, I mean I know he's done some stupid stuff on here but when someone pointed out "Arthur Scargill" I even didn't believe them cos I didn't think he'd do anything that appalling. I lost 50p in a bet and all.

Yes and no. I have seen the ones around the AFa which were way, way OTT but not particularly shocking from the man. Obviously any threats of violence or whatnot is well out of line.

What i'm surprised and saddened by is the returning under different guises and pretending to be D D!! Thats unbeleivably weird. Slagging of the afed is one thing. even threatening to ataack someone is one thing and not uncommon on the net - but that last thing is totally bizarre.

Well if he wants to, he can own up. I bet he's a bit embarrassed about it. :D He pretended to be a girl, and was vaguely flirtatious. He also slagged off the Wombles in an effort to win posters' confidence. That's all you're getting for now!

Nah you're wrong, I already said it wasn't revol. The Bread+Roses thing came out in the open pretty quick, he did it to try to get a date with Wayne. He didn't slag off any Irish-linked groups though.

Fair enough. I don't remember bread & roses slagging off any Irish groups, but I assumed that since it was revol, s/he must have done. :wink:

Hmm, I seem to remember I had an argument with Revol there, but the guy from the Wombles barely said a thing while I was around him (he may have been hung over, I know i was).

Am confused as to who might be deemed to be "big" amongst anarchism who would be on here. Ian Bone is here as himself. Gangster we've already talked about. There isn't anyone who's a "name" in the SolFed and I can't imagine Nick H doing it, either.

And it's not revol :confused:

Well, I have just been on the web today for the first time in ages and have seen this bullshit. You children just don't grow up do you.

I am always willing to defend myself against 'real charges' (not there have been any here), and note you lack a definition of 'trolling' on your site (so I don't know what I am meant to have done). As for 'disruption', I always have political points, its just in your 'self contained and self referential perfect world' everybody loves each other and there is no angry 'in your face' debate. One of the lessons of feminism years ago (that shows you are so behind the times theoretically - was that emotion MUST be a feature of politics and research).

In short I dispute your version of events, your version of 'justice', your 'self identity', and NOTE you are 'evidence void'. Instead your usual presumption, indignity (because I don't take you seriously) angst and malice lets you bullshit on (sounds like the London AF leader :D ). Its touching that you defend the AF so, one lame duck defends another :twisted: :mrt: :D :rb: :@: :bb: Those of us who DO (rather than those of us who don't) know class struggle lies elsewhere :r:

As for 'unprovoked attacks' I reply in kind - there is always some development in 'debate' before I lose my patience, and others are just as disruptive (your angst and methods are definately a political attack on class war politics btw) and don't get banned. Will my new incarnation (username) be allowed to live on libcom? Perhaps that is the real test of an authentic non-sectarian approach :D :rb:

I don't know anything about that. But I don't recall anything about any lies being told, other than anything akin to you calling us "cunts" being a "lie" (in that it's not factually true, but it's obviously meant as an insult/hyperbole).

So, anyway, raw are you saying you think it's prefectly ok for gangster to register and pretend to be someone else (not just a random alter ego like q, but an actual named individual who people know)?

Isn't that JDMF?

Or all these guys like that :D

In finland, most working class people have holiday homes. It's not a fully packed country like this one you see :P And not to mention the agrarian links are so recent that usually the holiday home is just your granparents small peasant house in the middle of the forrest by a lake... hard life...

i might be able to steal aforementioned holiday home and claim it as a TAZ/PAZ/SPAZ :bb:

Steal from JDMF are you mad?

He'll pull off your arms, stuff one down your throat and then beat you to death with the other one for eating meat.

You can of course out him for the imperialist that he is, but don't let him find out your real name. If he shows up looking for me I'll just claim that Jef is another product of gangster's imagination :D

Sorry JDMF, but ever since you mentioned tearing a phone book in half as a planned hobby I've had this image of you just tearing things to pieces all the time.

I'm sure you're very kind and gentle, just as long as no one makes you angry...

Anyone else feel that this thread rather resembles a M*A*S*H episode??

We have Raw as Major Frank Burns, who is to surgery what Raw's ahistorical, jargon-laden, nonsensical subculture is to anarchism:

Forever winding him up and making him stamp his feet is Jack and Rattail as Captains "Hawkeye" Pierce and "Trapper" MacIntyre, adept surgeons and very witty, but childish and heavy drinkers:

Rattail

Jack

Trying to bring order to this mess is the well-intentioned but ultimately lazy and incompetent CO who'd rather be playing golf than be right here, Major Henry Blake. I think he should be played by John:

Of course, every CO needs a little errand boy, and I think RKN would quite well suit the role of Radar O'Reilly, Blake's clerk, always being told to do one thing by Burns (eg to delete those awful posts) and another by Blake:

Which brings us neatly onto the question of Major Margaret "Hot Lips" Houlihan. I thought about this a while, and ultimately came to the conclusion that since she is the long-suffering butt of constant (sexist) jibes about her Butch build from Hawkeye and Trapper, she would probably be best played by poor JDMF, perhaps with a wig. (Don't worry JDMF - you won't have to sleep with Raw.) Here she is right now, laughing at the suggestion of Ftony stealing part of her beloved Finlandia:

That's all for now. I'm yet to decide who should play the transvestite Klinger, any suggestions??

Q

ergh i mean RAW :P

Aaah, herein lies my problem, in that I didn't know that Raw was someone "big" in anarchist scenes. In fact I didn't know who Raw was at all, apart from being in the Wombles, and the only one of them who posts on here. (After a big falling out some time ago, no?)

Am I missing something?

no your cunts mate :P

Do you think it's fair enough for him to pretend to be Dave D in order to make petty attacks on people?

Oh John - you are disengenuous.

You said this - "Since then he re-registered with the username "Arthur Scargill" and continued his attacks on the AF." that was true.

This is a lie "but it soon became apparent that Arthur Scargill really was T after all, and he had falsely used Dave's name to attack the AF " Not absolutely true, is it John? Do you know the difference between public and private? It appears NOT.

You said this too - "When he was re-banned he claimed to the libcom.org group that he was in fact a well-known anarchist "Dave D" (full name omitted, but people who know him know him...) and could we please let him back on." THIS IS A LIE. Bear in mind I have already used the Dave C name on Libcom (do you remember the CW Hooliganz debate?), and Dave D was next! I use so many aliases you know...

CHALLENGE TO YOU - Publish your evidence publically, including registered emails, user names, and the context. But then, you won't or can't because you will be shown up as the children who cried wolf... as you have no evidence to back up you pathetic assertions.

In reality I pretended to be Arthur Scargill and Sergei Nechayev more than I did Dave Douglass. But you boring small minded fools - wow - sounds like the complete membership of the AF! :mrt: :bb: :rb: say things and control this website for your own 'do nothing' ends. You are as parasitic on the back of the working class movement as the AF are :twisted: :bb: :rb: :mrt:

Finally I repeat, IF YOU ARE INTERESTED IN GENUINE NON SECTARIANISM (obviously part of Libcom aren't because I was banned for rational argument as 'Experimental') THEN YOU WILL ALLOW ME TO CONTINUE THIS DEBATE WITH YOU OPENLY WITHOUT GETTING BANNED.

Incidentally, I am getting angrier and angrier at the pathetic state of the 'orthodox anarchists'... but then, I think you know this and want to provoke a 'situation'. We'll see.... I think it's time people were held to account though:mrt: :bb: :rb:

This is an amazing excuse! I'm impressed as to the depths of your denial. In your head I bet you do actually think you're telling the truth, don't you? You have serious, serious issues (some people may remember his claims the security services hacked into his urban75 account in order to make pompous and attention-seeking posts in his name! :D)

Actually in that discussion you didn't use "Dave C", Paul Marsh quoted one of your nutty antics from the past (see here: http://libcom.org/forums/viewtopic.php?p=76900#76900 - a thread where again your words and the truth seem to diverge significantly) which you did in the name "Dave Clark".

But having first denied calling yourself "Dave D", then when we actually forwarded the email - from your address - to Class War where you do quite clearly call yourself "Dave D" you try to say that you were just using the next pseudonym up from one you used ten years ago, from Dave C to D!

CHALLENGE TO YOU - Publish your evidence publically, including registered emails, user names, and the context. But then, you won't or can't because you will be shown up as the children who cried wolf... as you have no evidence to back up you pathetic assertions.

As I'm sure you know, we have the email in our account (you can check in it your sent box if it was an alternate personality of yours doing it).

We would be happy to publish your (matching) IP addresses, and your emails, if you actually want us to. But for your sake I think you've embarrassed yourself enough here...

Actually it is the people who use references to mental health who are the reactionarys - so that's you and zobag.

Me, I have done nothing, I was merely pointing out the contradictions in expressed politics.... as for genuine non-sectarianism, I do engage in respectable debates, but I don't let things go here.

Reply to point 1: It wasn't an excuse, I don't need them. I never said I "was a well known anarchist" (so thats a definate lie from you).

If you thought about it for a moment - go and have a look at that email again, where is anything about Douglass in it, or the miners for that matter???

Its from Sergei Nechayev, one of the most 'ANYTHING GOES' revolutionaries the world has ever seen - if not THE most. SO given that you didn't have a clue as to who 'Dave D' was, why am I responsible for YOUR assumptions. In short, I can't be. That you took that email address seriously is actually the bigger flaw in your judgement.

Go on then John, publish the (singular and internal) email and user name (not the IP address though I am happy for that to be shared around the movement internally) - you've got NO EVIDENCE. You cried Wolf!! I did NOTHING publically, and that shows you up as the wankers you are.

No reference to miners, Dave Douglass etc Its from a 'Dave D', but the email owner is Sergei nechayev!! No 'pleading' to be let back on, And they took it seriously!!!!!!!

FAO admin. Why is this pathetic drama dragging on so long?? Why can't you just ban this guy and be done with it?? Why do you feel the need to justify yourselves when it's quite clear to everyone on here that this person has no interest in proper discourse?? Fucking hell, this thread is embarassing and probably wonders for this guy's ego. Just ignore (and ban) him and this horrible egotrip of his will hopefully go away.

Good. I mean, I understand why you made this thread, but I was annoyed that he was allowed to appear on it and talk garbage when this board was united (bar one poster, who's pretty confrontational towards Libcom too) in their contempt for him. And then the mental health jibes, which were thoroughly inappropriate accusations I thought. I was just like, get the fuck rid of him.
