Faildoxing in Progress

Over at Patriot-Ombudsman (No, I won’t like to it.) the Cabin Boy™ has announced that he has “found” pemason54. (I had no idea he was lost.) As a result of his amazing google fu, Schmalfeldt has posted a comment from someone in Portland, Oregon, and describes the phone message that he left her—demanding … oh, here are the Cabin Boy’s™ own words:

I told the machine my name, gave my phone number, asked if she knew why anyone other than her would be using such a specific, unique e-mail handle, gave her my number again, and said I would take a failure to return my call as meaning she knows who I am and why I am calling.

He says that he will graciously wait “until this evening” before publishing the woman’s name.

Portland, Oregon, huh?

Of course, I have the IP addresses of all the comments that have come in under the name pemason54. The IPs trace to three sets of locations. Two are in adjacent towns in a state on the east coast. The third traces to various locations east of the Mississippi River belonging to a mobile phone carrier.

UPDATE—Stacy McCain has a comment or two here.

  1. He acquired through DCMA counterclaim all rights to Amazon yesterday so he’s on a roll!!!!


  2. John,

    I need that NSA program where you monitor and direct all private communications between anyone and everyone – to anyone and everyone and can stop it with a push of a button on your super secret decoder ring you nasa rocket scientists developed for “THE MAN”

    pleeeeaseeee


  3. I’m beside myself in a writhing rage of jealousness and total inadequacy, you have all the cool kids tools and all I have is a warmed over sense of humor wretchedly wrought from weekend update skits that even chevy chase wouldn’t do


  4. I told the machine my name, gave my phone number, asked if she knew why anyone other than her would be using such a specific, unique e-mail handle, gave her my number again, and said I would take a failure to return my call as meaning she knows who I am and why I am calling.

    Uh, so Willy doxed an answering machine?

    How does he know it’s a “she”?

    You’d think after screwing up so many doxes, he’d quit. But then again, the great thing about Willy is, he’s totally stupid.


  5. how interesting…
    so he is going to assume (and we all know what assume means) that the person he has “tracked down” and bothered MUST know what he is talking about if they don’t call him back…
    yes that must be the ONLY answer, cause wouldn’t everyone return the call of a complete stranger who leaves a message on their machine basically accusing them of sending “harassing” emails by dint of similarity between email name and actual name?!?!??

    what a moron….
    I hope whoever he bothered has already contacted LE, and if he is fool enough to start doxing someone with no more proof than what he has offered, I hope he not only winds up with another restraining order but with actual jail time…

    O.o

  7. Does this explain why the only other Dave who owns a ukulele has been getting odd messages on his machine… Or why the Nixon library used to get midnight calls
    ?


    • I can’t help but notice that a certain steelworker from New Jersey is not getting any airtime. I wonder if someone sent Willy a note (or a horse’s head).

      BTW, sometimes I post using a different browser and it insists on using another name, nothing nefarious meant…..I SWEAR IT, WILLY!


  8. Typical. And real reporters don’t do this. “If you don’t call me back in an unreasonably short period of time, then you’re “guilty.” Really? Maybe she’s at a wedding. On a cruise. In the hospital. Or, maybe, she doesn’t know what the heck he’s talking about, and will not return the call because he sounds like a lunatic. Anyone know what Oregon harassment laws are like?


      • Oregon harassment law from http://www.oregonlaws.org/ors/166.065

        § 166.065¹
        Harassment
        (1) A person commits the crime of harassment if the person intentionally:
        (a) Harasses or annoys another person by:
        (A) Subjecting such other person to offensive physical contact; or
        (B) Publicly insulting such other person by abusive words or gestures in a manner intended and likely to provoke a violent response;
        (b) Subjects another to alarm by conveying a false report, known by the conveyor to be false, concerning death or serious physical injury to a person, which report reasonably would be expected to cause alarm; or
        (c) Subjects another to alarm by conveying a telephonic, electronic or written threat to inflict serious physical injury on that person or to commit a felony involving the person or property of that person or any member of that persons family, which threat reasonably would be expected to cause alarm.


    • Yeah, “Goodness, I should call this lunatic back” does not seem like the reaction most people would have.


    • Actually, real reporters do use the trick of demanding an unreasonably quick response with fair frequency. They call and say, “I have only 30 minutes until my deadline. If I don’t hear from you within those thirty minutes, I’ll have to write that I was unable to reach anyone to comment on the allegations against you.” Once when it happened to me, I was asked to comment on a letter that I had not even received: the sender had kindly faxed it to the reporter the same day it was sent registered mail. I did comment immediately: “I have not received such a letter: what’s the date on it?” Because even a reporter could recognize that I would not have received a registered letter on the day of delivery to the post office, that sort of ruined the reporter’s ability to imply that a failure to respond was an admission. So she faxed the letter to me. By that time, however, I probably had less than 15 minutes to formulate a response that was based on more than the reporter’s summary of the letter.

      Real reporters are among the sleaziest professionals in the world. I once offered to get one a cup of coffee, and when I returned with it, he was sitting there reading the file on my desk. After that, I never met with a reporter in my office; always used a conference room. I am not saying that all of BK’s behaviors are typical of journalists; I have not had experience with a large enough number of journalists to form a statistically reliable sample about the class. I’d be surprised (though not shocked) if the tactic of threatening a non-responsive mother with loss of custody over her children was frequent (but, as I already said, I have no statistically reliable basis for saying that the typical reporter does not use the tactic weekly or even daily). But this trick of calling and expecting an answer in a very short period of time is typical.


    • Oregon’s harassment laws and the enforcement thereof are toothless, unless and until you harass a politico. See Frisch, Deborah.


      • That’s what I thought from reading the statute. It sounds like it only counts as harassment if they actually threaten you with bodily harm.


      • Er, she really suffered because she actually assaulted and battered a woman she’d been stalking, harassed the judge and his staff until they were up in arms, then vilely and obscenely attacked a perfectly harmless candidate for city council.

        She didn’t even begin harassing actual office holders until after she’d been sent to Jail for all of the above.


  9. Having had his great revelation for this evening spoiled, I wonder who he’s going to try to dox now?


    • I’ve notice he hasn’t tried to call you. Why? Because you won’t take any crap from him, and he knows it.


      • well , he doesn’t have to call LG, because she doesn’t hide who she is, instead he just writes nasty blog posts where he attempts to make her look “stupid” using her tweets and claiming they don’t mean what she says they mean…

        after all he’s such a sooper-genius that his word that she or anyone else for that matter is wrong is all one needs I suppose…

        his keeper must be out having an actual life instead of babysitting his sorry butt today…


      • For all I know he did try calling. My land line is probably the easiest number to come up with, but we keep it solely for emergency outgoing calls during power outages (and finding our cells) so it doesn’t have an answering machine or the ringer turned on.

        And I don’t answer my cell if I don’t recognize the number. Voice mail exists for a reason……


    • Everyone who comments on this blog. Just because John has the IP address of every comment posted (as well as held in moderation) on this blog. As if that is sinister. Only a total moron operating a blog wouldn’t have that same information (every blogging platform as well as all 3rd party software for commenting like DISQUS capture lots of commenter specific information) available to them. Is he so stupid he can’t even view comments on his dashboard? What a baboon (with apologies to actual baboons). Implying that somehow having that information is illegal or improper or that Billy can now somehow wrest that information from John … delusional!


      • well he’s been claiming for months that Mr. Hoge is gonna throw us all under the bus to save himself…
        Like our esteemed host would do anything that would give Twinkie a legit reason to go after and possibly get any information like that..

        Twinkie is delusional as well as demented…

        O.o


  10. Well, he said she’s “innocent,” (of what, I wonder?) and that’s what happens when people “cooperate” with an “investigative reporter.” He did not say who the reporter was.

    Also interesting: “Well, what do you know? WJJ Hoge has the IP addresses of everyone who comments on his blog.” Well, . . . DUH! As does BS, only no one seems to comment on his blog. Oh, and WJJH also has the IP addresses of all the proxy servers many people have been using. You know, like the ones from Europe that BS has complained about in the past.


    • I especially liked how he mentions “none of your business” as perfectly acceptable when asked questions…
      as if that isn’t EXACTLY what Stranahan and I’m sure plenty others have told him, yet he keeps digging, excuse me, “questioning as a reporter” in order to harass…

      O.o


  11. Oh how nice,
    Twinkie the Thief has copied this entire blog post on to his blog…
    at least he left the comments off…this time..

    O.o


    • UH-oh Kyle, you’re in for it now…
      NOW he knows you have a BLOG!!!…
      never mind that he has actually commented there in the past, that’s no biggie but NOW HE KNOWS YOU HAVE ONE!!!11!!11

      O.o JEEEEZ his dementia is getting bad…


  12. He also admitted he didn’t wait for her to call him back, but called her cell phone number which she had helpfully left on her landline answering machine.

    I wonder what sort of state he would have been if he hadn’t had the cell number and she hadn’t called him back within his mandated time frame (and of course he probably forgot that Oregon is three hours behind Maryland)?


  13. I can’t help it, but every time I read about what BS does to people, the words “colossal douchebag” never fail to cross my mind.

    Someone needs to end his career of bad behavior — either he can stop it himself, or it can be stopped by incarceration. Frankly, I’d like to see the latter. No one who has behaved as he has deserves to be a free man.


  14. Seriously, how did the man function as a “journalist” back when he supposedly (do we believe him?) was one? Did he really go around threatening those he was interviewing? How many times was he slapped by a woman, decked by her SO, reported to the cops, etc., etc.,? How many times did his employers have to try to cover his butt, ample enough even then?

    Or course, he claims he knows all about IP law from his days as an editor, and everything he claims is true I know isn’t, because as a librarian, we have to be pretty aware of what constitutes “fair use”. It would be interesting, though pointless, to go back through the stuff he supposedly edited to see how many times he violated copyright then. Of course, he could just be so used to using .gov stuff,which is fair game that he’s forgotten (if he ever knew) what the real publishing world is like.


    • so he told this woman he was an investigative reporter??

      I thought he was retired because the parkinson’s made it so he can’t work anymore…

      hmmnnn, lying liars gotta lie I guess…considering how he’s been churning out posts today, I think the SSA needs another call…

      O.o


      • Seriously? As if only one person in the whole world might be using a Perry Mason handle on the internet?


      • Well, apparently I’m the only person on the planet named “Tom” who lives on a “boulevard”.

        There Willy, I narrowed it down for you.


      • No, our PEmason 54 might have been inspired by the TV show. The poster in Portland has another name that begins with “P.” “E” is probably her middle initial. Maybe, she is sixty.


      • Her middle initial is E, with the info Bill gave it was easy enough to figure out who he thought it was. And easy enough to get her phone number. Took me less than 2 minutes.

        So much for Bill’s super sleuthing skills. I’ve tracked down obscure poster papers at obscure conferences to get copies for patrons; Bill’s a piker.


      • The “PEmason” I found wrote a comment at a car dealer’s website. She, then, gave her first and last names. I’m sure the person Bill Schmalfeldt called had “E” for her middle initial, but, it may not be the same “P” “mason” who left the comment. We’ll never know because 1) we don’t want to harass the poor woman, unlike Bill Schmalfeldt,; and 2) Bill Schmalfeldt’s accounts of what happened should be discounted immediately.


  15. BREAKING: BS warns Stephen Sheiko that he’s next. You know, the Stephen who tweets under his own name, and discloses his location. Given his proclivities, does this mean that BS is going to dox Stephen’s children? What is clear is that BS can “dox” people who aren’t hiding, like Nancy and Patrick and Stephen, and fail doxes Jerry Fletcher and Howard Earl, who’ve been playing him for 3 years.


  16. Well, all Stephen needs to do when Willy calls him is tell him he isn’t the guy he’s looking for.


  17. Sounds like he made a friend today. Of course, how long before she realizes who he really is and files a restraining order against him, that is the question.


  18. Did anyone notice that Bill has suddenly added accreditation onto the screencap he used in the book where it shows up on his website? It wasn’t there two days ago.

    Of course that’s still violating the paper’s TOS, which say that you can give a link, but nothing which makes it look like the article is hosted on your own website. I suppose he’ll try to get around that by saying that he’s only using part of it. But it’s a not insignificant part, so I’m not sure that will fly.


  19. Reminds me of the time someone thought they had dox’d me and didn’t notice that the address Google Maps’d to the midway point on the Oakland Bay bridge …


  20. I love the part where Bill said he told the sweet old lady this: “I told her the best advice I could give is drop GMail”. Does this not prove he is a caring “reporter”? What a basket of dung.
    Oh, I am Church.😉


  21. The infamous internet doxer and serial harasser seriously DID NOT KNOW that all incoming IP addresses are captured and logged at all websites, including blogs? Really? I know the stupid is strong in this one, and that he’s got other mental pathologies on top of that, but still. Or is this his lame effort at playing rope-a-dope?


    • of course he knows it, he uses the IP # to track down anyone who has been stupid enough to try and leave a comment on his site & he’s tried to use that to claim various lickspittles have sent him nasty emails, the fact that the IP #’s route back to his own computer is no never mind…


    • yeah, I have to admit it finally I guess…

      the cat’s out of the bag…
      time to come clean…
      My name is Rain and I co-author song lyrics with my best friend Kimberly Dykes..

      there I said it, it’s out…FINALLY the burden of carrying that on my back has been removed…
      I had thought that by sooper sekritly posting our lyrics to the hush hush almost non existant website Fandalism that I could get that monkey off my back, but it wasn’t to be..
      not until Twinkie the Talking Wart used his google-fu to hunt me down and expose my humiliating secret to the world (well at least one or two readers of his joke of a blog)
      Yes the truth is out there… I am a song writer.

      Oh and F*CK You Twinkie if you think you will ever intimidate me into not saying what I want on Twitter or here just because you found my group’s fandalism page.


  22. By the way, speaking of FAILdoxing, Twinkie admits on Kyle’s blog in the comment section that he has no idea who he really is…

    Oh, Kyle. Thanks for the present. I didn’t even KNOW about this blog, and you hand it to me on a silver platter. And here I had taken you off the list. Tell you what, big boy. In the interests of honesty? Let’s just drop the artifice and you admit that you are who I said you were, or… failing that… you reveal your real identity so nobody has to bother the “REAL” Kyle Kiernan with what’s gonna happen on Monday. OK? Thanks.”

    mind you, he left comments on this blog, the one he says today he didn’t know about, last month, April 5th & 6th…O.o


    • Why is he bothering you? You never contact him. You have asked him not to contact you. You write ABOUT him. Why would he want to dox or contact you? Oh, my bad! SERIAL HARASSER and MYSOGYNIST.


      • well honestly he hasn’t actually managed to get his ass all the way up to “bothering” YET. He’s just trying to intimidate…Somehow I’m supposed to be skeered of what he might post about me or my friend, enough to go silent. Aint gonna happen.
        I have never emailed Twinkie,.
        I have never threatened Twinkie.
        I have on the rare occasion retweeted a tweet with his handle in it, and even rarer tweeted him directly, usually its to tell him to NOT contact me when he tries to get into a conversation and I get included in the @mentions.
        I haven’t violated either Hogewash’s or Twitter’s TOS with anything I’ve posted so what it boils down to is, I’m not doing anything illegal in anyway, and there is nothing Twinkie can do to intimidate me into not speaking my mind when I choose to on the forums I choose to, just because he doesnt like what I say.


  23. HEY, WILLY’S BACK! (for a few hours) So how about telling us about this bit of idiocy?

    Willy, why did you post this on Kyle’s blog?

    We all know you made multiple posts to his blog only a month before. So the question is, are you really that stupid, and just not acting, or are you mentally deficient?


    • And who did Bill say he was? Almost everyone has so many purported aliases and real names, you have to have a score card to keep track, and I haven’t been bothered to.

  25. I don’t come here often…but Bill has a serious problem…and from the pic’s on RSM’s site, he’s a particularly “troubled” man…


  26. Willy’s having a bad day.

    I wonder why he didn’t “CEASE CONTACT!!!!!!” when all those people he went after, like the Stranahans, asked him to stop? I do think Willy has a problem with consistency.
