Unfortunately there are idiots who can not let people enjoy something. Their lives are so pathetic that they only feel human when they are ruining something for someone else. I have shut down the chat room for now. When I figure a way to make it more secure, I will re-open it.

So, what do you do with that? They were using "our" names as well. The one who was going under "Reylah" is the one who made the death comment. Woudln't that be considered a threat, and punishable?

They were using other people's usernames, like angelbaby, joey'smom, I think those are the only other ones I saw being used.

They were using alot of our names. It was kind of confusing to follow, because we were all responding too. They only used my user name a few times. I know they did Reylah alot, Angelbaby, Joeys Mom, then they started using Daddio too.

Hey did anyone really call those phone numbers they gave us. I think Krisy said her husband called, and then I thought maybe someone else did too.

I didn't, but after the threat comment I said something about, "now that you've made a threat, you can be charged with internet stalking, harassement, and threatened assault."

The reply I got back was, "I'm sorry..I wasn't trying to harass anyone. Please don't call me!" So I wonder if it was a real number???? It would be interesting to know if it is a real number, if it matches the ISP's that Tom found?

Grrrr... You see, I live in Missouri, in the middle of nowhere, and I always make fun of the hoosiers always talking about kicking someones butt... BUT... I can't help but not go nutty when something like his happens... I feel the blood go to my face, and it's on. LOL

When I read about what they did to Angelbaby( whom I have a soft spot for) and the rest of you guys, I thought DARN! I wish I knew where they lived... I can't believe one of these came from SIU in Edwardsville... I was actually HAPPY! (i get so mad lol)
I already forwarded it to my BIL who has been there for years and years... He'll do something. He doesn't stand for ignorance, expecially from a college student... You see, I can back up my threats without laying a hand on anyone... All it would take is a trip to Edwardsville (which I go to regularly anyway) with a van full of my black belt friends in full uniform. Won't take much. Tee hee.

I got an IM from one of the people involved in the chat room fiasco last night. He says he left shortly after and Specific Girl is his handle. He is willing to take responsibility for his actions, but is not the only one to blame. Took some guts and he asked me to post this:

I'm the Specific Girl you speak of. Just saying I've not hacked, or whatever terminology you may use, your chat room. The posts I made I didn't even think were mean, I was actually trying to steer the conversation away from a mean direction.

Anyways, I look like, and may be, a jerk regardless. Sammich and I found out when he sent me a link to your chat room that I was him. Anyways, I didn't use anyone else's name and saw some crude things being said and left. So do what you want. I'm not hard to find. I'll assume you've gathered whats wrong with the chat room if not I'll help out.

I'm sorry for the trouble I've caused you.

He said you can tell what HE posted by the IP addys from the chat. Tom you've got that, so uh, I have no idea. I just want to see the right person NAILED. Thanks for listening guys - hugs to the kids

Oh well. His email just brings tears of sympathy to my eyes. It's done. The print out is probably sitting on my BIL's desk right now, just waiting to be taken to the proper person. No sympathy here. People need to learn the hard way.

Tom, Maybe we can turn these kids around. Sounds like one of them may already be turned around. Specific Girl did not really put anything up mean that I read just a few dumb things. Sammich on the other hand is a different story.

Mary Beth, I agree Specific Girl wasnt quite as nasty as Sammich. But I wonder if it/they could have been the same person?

I didn't even read it... BUT... whether or not someone said something "meaner than the other" doesn't matter. My SIX year old knows better, and you would surely think a college student would. While I was in college, I may have been playing quarters and burping up Budweiser... BUT I never would have dreamed of doing something like that. "Educating the ignorant" is a term I like to use, and while I can't stop the world and it's inhabitants from being asses, if I CAN do something, then I WILL. I am not a "wait and see" kind of girl. No matter who was the "meanest" You can bet that "specific girl" knows "sammich" and vise versa... Burn one, and burn the rest. Some people MUST learn the hard way... And you better believe if the Dean at SIU Edwardsville finds out and confronts this person, as soon as they get scared that they are jeopardizing the college education their parents (most likely) bought for them, this little dude will pee in his pants. NO MERCY! (tee hee)

OK, the chat room should be OK now. I don't think they can recreate the prank they pulled.

By the way, based on the IP addresses of the two, they were not the same person.

Daddio · Posted: July 13 2005, 5:11 PM Post subject:

FYI if it helps, someone posted a phone number in the chat. Most likely it was not their number, but a friend who was also posting to the chat. That's what you get for collaborating with pranksters - pranked yourself. Anyway, in case it helps, I still have the number, and the name and address I looked up for the person with that number. I won't list it again here in case this person is an innocent bystander, but if anyone needs it let me know and I'll email or PM it.

I just wanted to say that they may not be college age. Alot of campuses are used in the summer for camps and high school bands and such.

Received this last night:

Quote:

I doubt you guys will validate my account, so i'm just emailing this with you. This is going to be my only post here and i wanted to clear up a few things. Neither this sammich person nor specific girl threatened anyone in this chat. It was me, My name is John. The phone number that one of your people called was a fake, just randomly taken from a phone book. I wasn't acting with sammich or specific girl in any way shape or form, I did everything of my own volition. I used a flaw in your chatroom where you could just change names in the top chat bar to become another person. What i did was wrong, and it was totally my fault.

So it was John who used someone's name( I forget who) and called our kids "retsad stains?" and that they think we should have never had them? Somehow I am not comforted.....and the only other one I saw log on other than sammich was slutpuppy. As for me, I am glad they are running scared - and I doubt they are HS kids because they wouldn't let them on the internet that late - they have curfews. At least they did when I was in camp(like 20 years ago........)May they have someone be as nice to them as they were to us Smile

probably a misspelling of the "r" word. . . either a typo or an attempt to bypass a filter.
