Let's go with your take at face value. We have a battered woman, forced to
be homeless for several years, who sold her soul to survive, and who -
despite all odds - pulls herself together and makes a meaningful productive
life for herself.

So what have you managed to accomplish? Oh wait. I see. You "pull the social
security number and current address of the victim and dump it to public
mailing lists".

Wow. Impressive.

Subject: [Full-disclosure] Kathy Sierra

I have a long history of enabling people on the Internet that want to troll
or ruin. Generally I find that if people have the desire to ruin something,
it deserves to be ruined. I am a karmatic implement at most. I am a big
believer in the Holy equation:

	

	imposition of order = escalation of chaos

Generally I find that someone who uses abuse teams, DMCAs and other legal
and social implements to impose an artificial sense of order upon harmless
trolling is inviting an escalation of chaos. Where the entropy falls can be
troublesome for would-be imposers of order- you can't ask a stochastic
element to neatly fall upon the comment page of your blog.

Whoever fucked with Kathy Sierra clearly had a pattern of escalation as
evidenced by a trail of now-defunct blogs. Kathy hollers like a stuck pig as
she wonders why the trolls escalated to magnitudes which she could no longer
control. The answer is obvious: she fought the LOL. The LOL won. She flew
off the handle trying to silence criticism of her books, and this is what
she got. This is what the Internet was founded on. If you can't take the
heat, get out of the kitchen.

Internet ruin is a global scale-free network. There are no central hubs,
there are hundreds of thousands of ruiners that are like peas in a pod and
where there is hilarity a few of them will jump in and cause a ruckus like
white lightning. Nevertheless there are certain styles that some ruiners
have that you learn to recognize.

I reckon Kathy's ruin was in the lineage of a great form. It dates back to
the earliest days of the Internet but really took its peak in a GNAA member
named Grog. This sort of personal terrorism was his specialty. Grog was an
angst-ridden phone troll from Australia that left ruined lives and
businesses in his wake. He would have people deported. He was the master of
finding or creating weakness in the human psyche and destroying people from
a distance. He called his method "ruined 4 lyfe", as it would leave a
lasting impression on the psyches of his victims. Worthless bloggers locking
themselves in their homes and ditching their keynotes at conferences for
idiots? Exactly the kind of message the Internet needs to send.

My usual response to personal ruin is to pull the social security number and
current address of the victim and dump it to public mailing lists. However
checking up on Kathy's SSN shows something odd- here is a woman pushing 50
and yet her first established address was in 2004 at a hotel. From there, a
fascinating and dark tale unfolded from her public and private records.

While many may consider Kathy's reaction to threats of sexual violence
ridiculous, it is put into perspective when you examine her past. Her
medical records up to early 2001 tell the tale of a battered wife. Late
night emergency room visits for stitches, followed later by the consults of
plastic surgeons to make sure scars don't achieve permanence. In 2000, the
battery became more intense with a broken bone. With a worthless degree in
physiology and a wealthy husband that had taken care of her all her life,
Kathy's options for independence were slim. She had to do something to get
out.

Kathy entered into divorce proceedings with her former spouse John M. Kozel
with accusations of domestic violence (finalized on 09/05/2001, Jefferson
County Colorado docket DR001396). With no proof to substantiate them, the
court considered her claims as meritless and Kathy was left with nothing.
After the divorce, a pattern in her credit record indicates homelessness. No
established address and existing credit card debt on maxed cards
accumulating with no end. Kathy stayed mobile for almost 3 years with no job
and no established address, prostituting herself to earn money.

Kathy had taken a class on java and sucked dick enough to get placed on the
development team for the PC version of "All Dogs Go to Heaven" which was a
free handout in cereal boxes. She devised a plan to shift up her clientele
from truck-stops to O'Reilly conferences. Despite having a physed degree,
only knowing enough java to code helloworld and the only commercial project
she worked on having been handed out for free in cereal boxes, Kathy would
pawn herself off as an expert in game development and AI to web2.0 morons!
She picked the right crowd to be a huckster in as those gimps will believe
anything.

Let's face the obvious: all these blogger faggots are coming to Kathy's
defense because she's the girl who gets the train run on her at O'Reilly
events. Kathy is a cockholster chugged full of cum that isn't even worth
giving the time of day. Just get a fucking whore off of Craigslist next time
and there will be much less drama from some prima donna that is too big for
her britches.

She shacked up with Albert James Bates IV, or Bert, as he sticks on the
books he "co-authors" with Kathy. Really, they're authored by others poorly,
and they just stick their names on the co-authors list because they run the
publishing company. Bert moved into a hotel with Kathy in 2004 where she
continued acting as a prostitute until late 2005. Bert was just on the verge
of a bankruptcy and losing his house (Boulder County bankruptcy 0411628).
Ruined from past marriages, broke and desperate, they were a match made in
heaven. Hope you enjoyed pimping your whore of a girlfriend, Bert.

Kathy and Bert live at 5497 Raritan Place, Boulder Colorado 80303. Feel free
to send them gifts that properly express your sentiments towards them.
Kathy's SSN is 558-27-4440. If you think I'm lying, you're free to check her
credit report and call local hospitals yourself.

My name is Memphis Two. It has been an honor welcoming you to the Internet,
Kathy.
