There was another fuss about Will Beback at ANI which was rather uneventful. This doesn't seem to be one of the cases where he is using admin power to push POV. However, if you wade through the comments to the part about "clitoral damage," it is rather funny.

could you find the actual chunk/diff as although I can see the thread, I can't see the actual clit bit, and I want it. biggrin.gif

No. But actually the mildly droll part is how this IP user, already nailed as multiple socker user:Michael93555 (uploader of all but one of the photos in Ridgecrest, California, including some nice ones) has got Beback and the crew thinking they can't deal with him except with wide range blocks, which of course they can't do. Michael93555 has taunted them by uploading a bunch of stale old IPs used by some Czech vandal POVer (he hates Poles!), pretending he has access to them all. Actually if you look at it, Mr. Ridgecrest is pretty well confined to a few Verizon IPs that geolocate to his same area of California in Victorville and Phelan. One has already been blocked, but they've so-far missed his main one at user:71.119.79.180 tongue.gif . Which is surely the same guy, as proven by this edit. biggrin.gif And also suggesting the user they're after is one Michael Price, a 27 y.o. guy who lives in Ridgecrest, and has the same MySpace address as user:Michael27ca already nailed as a sock of Mr. Ridgecrest photo guy, Michael93555. Duh.

But it's the usual thing: they can't bring themselves to sprotect Ridgecrest, California for long. Even from the horde of imaginary Czech Tor vandals that Price has set up to scare them. Beback, you're such a wanker!

Looks okay to me. Calling Beback a wanker is always a plus. biggrin.gif

Have you ever actually been to Ridgecrest? I have--one of the grimmest, ugliest, driest, deadest-looking cities in the California desert. Makes Bakersfield look like a world cultural capital.

Basically exists only to provide living quarters and services to China Lake NAS personnel and contractors. Supposedly there are no tall buildings in Ridgecrest, because they get so many earthquakes there. thumbsdown.gif

I haven't been there. Michael P.'s photos make the place look pretty nice.

Yes, many of the editors there are also earthquake chasers. Some of the vandalism our Michael P. did with the IP account named, was to one of the bios of an earthquake predictor.

Michael himself is probably some military guy. Looks like one of those don't-ask-don't-tell ones, too, from his MySpace page photo. (NEVER vandalize WP by adding your own MySpace link-- how dumb IS that?). Perhaps he and Mr. Beback can get to together and find out of one of them has a brand-new pair of rollerskates that fits the other's key? wink.gif Bury the hatchet and also other stuff...
