So anyway, I hate to name and shame. I was young and easily damaged once too. But I really would like to give this kid's parents a call.

rotflmao!

Unsurprisingly his facial expression screams douche bag.

I say trace route his IP to get a location, the rest is standard Google Fu to work out where he lives and associated addresses and phone numbers. But you already have a name so that cuts it down significantly already.

awww he's real perty....
*sticky

bet that room smells all.....testosterony...

I guess he really, really wanted to tell the world about his Rubik's Cube skills. His sister Cara is kind of cute.

Just how many screen names of his have been banned now?

Gee jonny, he couldn't wait 6 more days to send you Valentines!?!

Chime in sifters, this is precedent being set time....pretend it's a roast, and welcome future abuse.....

Upvote if you think our friend is cool. Or downvote it, I won't mind.

there will always be people that suck at life so badly that they, themselves, don't even know it.

I think the Sift's being a bit harsh. Yes, this was the first time I instabanned someone (a proxy account, posting a crazy # of abusive comments on jonny's profile over a 45 minute period), and yes, his parents should be contacted.

But I think that suffices.

the sift hasn't been here yet, the tone has been set

It certainly has all the trimmings of a roast. Just keep in mind that if James/Dag/Lucky indeed wants to contact the family in an official capacity you may want - I know this sounds weird for a website designed to share videos - but you may want to keep things professional.

Or perhaps that's like saying let's keep the brushfires in the prairie confined to a neat little 10 acre area.

His sister's name is lizardlover, eh? I have a lizard she can love. And she looks like she's about 13, but hey - if there's grass on the field, play ball!

Awww! Leave him alone! It turns out he gets abused, so he feels the need to act big on the internet, because he knows that in real life if he were to act this way, someone would exponentially increase the damage his 12 year old sister caused in that photo.

Truth be told we will probably not be able to contact his parents- unless someone's Google-fu is better than mine. He was using Tor or another anonymizer.

I'm not really looking to get him trashed, but with his comment history and abuse, he's really asking for it. My reason for identifying him is so this kind of ratbaggery isn't completely anonymous.

Our dear friend here added 534 profile pages worth of comments in an almost three hour period this afternoon. That's not including comments from yesterday and earlier today that no longer appear. He used roughly 14 screen names in his time here. That's to give some folks some perspective - thus far.

apparently, he really believes he can keep this up indefinitely, without any recourse.

i recommend small, funny, reasonable, legal-and/or-plausibly-deniable steps, to assist him in realizing the contrary.

HAHAHAHA - I crack myself up. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6M7tp0JTe_k

You know, by doing this we are giving him far more Internet celebrity than he would have ever achieved with his Rubik's Cube video alone.

Hmm.. .I don't think we are. After all, this only exists to make fun of him. Though we should cite some examples of what his thousands of comments were.

[edit] Oh shit! Don't fuck with this guy! He looks like a cold hearted killer!

oh, and i noticed one little detail that his sister should've left out, if her brother's going for the douchebag hall of fame. tsk tsk tsk.

There's only nine. And of those, only three are married couples that are of the age to have young (early 20s) kids.

OK, well that's it then. I'll give them all a call tomorrow - not to be a jerk, but to let them know what their boy is up to. Thanks for the research.

^ yes. i thought i'd show my gratitude, to his sister.
so i "Shared the Luv" with her, just now.

after all, she's happiest "Being around friends or sleeping".
maybe someday she'll be happy, sleeping around with friends?

especially with these guys listed amongst her favorite musicians...

All this research reminds me - on a weird tangent - about my desperate work on attaining quorum for a university conference. Think calling various corners of the province of Ontario looking for someone crazy enough to be in their office on a Sunday morning.

Amazingly, my search succeeded, and "phoning it in" was a legit way to get quorum.

Oh I am so happy my days of scrambling to get quorum for meetings are behind me. For now, anyway.

I'm sorry, but wasn't I once called creepy and stalkerish for... you know... this is exact same thing you guys are all doing? Why the hell are we posting pictures of the dude's sister??

>> ^karaidl:
> I'm sorry, but wasn't I once called creepy and stalkerish ...

musta' been before i got here, so i can't comment on that, but...

> Why the hell are we posting pictures of the dude's sister??

we're not. we're gleaning information from his pics and info.
and hers, only to the degree necessary, to track down her soon-to-be-grounded-again broodmate.

and having a little fun at their expense. which doesn't even come close to the shit he's apparently been pulling, all day.

she's obviously not any kind of accomplice, witting or otherwise. just a breadcrumb trail to him.

so, if anyone here, took any comment i made, to be more than the 12 seconds of harmless mild amusement, that it was intended to be? lemme' know, and i'll happily edit it out.
srsly.

>> doesn't even come close to the shit he's apparently been pulling, all day.

To give y'all an idea of the kind of shit he was pulling, he has created nigh on a dozen accounts and posted very near 6,000 "hate" comments mostly in the course of today.

And, no, I don't think she's being stalked. She made her own pictures available for the world to see, and no one is saying or doing anything about her that's insulting or crass.

>> ^karaidl:

I've found that the application of the term creepy is directly related to if the girl's ass you're touching wants some deep d from you or not.

Wow, look at you guys. The Sift overlord just says "unless someone's Google-fu is better than mine." and you go RIGHT to it. You would do anything for them wouldn't you? He didn't even have to ask, and you went out of your way. I'm not sure if thats sad, or we should all be patting you on the back for a job well done. Nah, I'll just go ahead and say its sad.

What are some examples of his hate comments, anyway?

cool, this makes me look like less of an ass

I am late to the party. I google his nickname, and found this:
http://www.videosift.com/video/Aaron-McDonald-VideoSift-spammer-solves-Rubics-Cube

I also found his SUPER hot older sister. Can't we forgive this guy. It must be hard growing up with that hot of a sister and you can't make out with her.

JD, you should probably just save this one instead. http://www.videosift.com/video/Aaron-McDonald-Solves-the-Rubiks-Cube-in-Under-TWO-MINUTES

If it helps, his buddy Baer is in the other YT video, and the HOT sister's boyfriend "TJ" is a profound wingnut from Bedford, PA.

so, make up your mind, arsenault185.
did i do this out of fear of my 'overlord'? or to massage my own 'Google-fu' ego?

You would do anything for them wouldn't you? He didn't even have to ask, and you went out of your way.

yeah. wasn't that far, out of my way, dude.
and i'd do the exact same for you, were you the one getting fucked with.

Time to execute a successful search is inversely proportional to one's Google-fu.

This is fucking disgusting. I don't want to be part of a "community" that incites and approves of personal attacks against anyone, especially a young guy who's just having some problems. I thought the way we did things was to quietly ban them and leave it at that. So what if this was a serious hassle, it's the internet, you get that. He got you all annoyed? Awwwww, poor you.
If you can't deal with it with any decency, don't run a website, or don't join one.

I have been comparing this place to the Soviet Union for a long time, and now look, you've even got naming and shaming. Just get some fucking shiny medals and have a parade already. When do we start sending the poets to Siberia?

I just can't believe the hypocrisy in everyone hating things like the church of scientology, and then openly starting a manhunt in the forum. "possible gender issues" ??? Fuck. You don't even realise how serious this could be.

If he kills himself when his parents find out, how are you gonna feel about your "google-fu" then?

Fucking retards. If I hadn't made some good friends here who I want to stay in touch with, I'd delete my account immediately. I might moan about rule changes around here but fuck, you just took it to a whole new level. At least I thought you were nice people.

I feel it is appropriate to use the words of Jon Stewart:

Fuck you.

^ "young guy having some problems"???

suddenly you're his lawyer? i think your considerable sympathies have gotten the best of you.

the admins did "quietly ban them and leave it at that". twice. aaron chose not to settle for that, and showed every indication that he'd send homophobic hate mail indefinitely, because he thought he was clever enough to get away with it indefinitely.

the next logical course of action was to to call his parents, not send him to the gulag. so, your weak Soviet Union analogy can kiss my ass.
tell ya' what, minky. the next time this happens, lucky will have you deal with it, instead. ok?

in conclusion, fuck you too, and your bullshit guilt trip.

touched a nerve, did i?

>> ^MINK:

don't flatter yourself, mink.

i'm the one who could still smile, and engage some humor, in their post.

so, you tell me, whose nerves were touched.

"If he kills himself when his parents find out, how are you gonna feel about your "google-fu" then?"

I'll feel pretty good. Just because some kid took himself out of the gene pool (we can only hope), why should I feel any worse about my skills or talents?

^ yeah, and that "ooh, what if he kills himself" shit is the saddest slippery-slope nonsense in your whole rant, mink.

what if MG and i killed ourselves because we actually took your bullshit seriously?

Don't feed the troll - the only reason some people are here is to try and "touch nerves". It fills them with glee.
