Title: THE HORROR
Post by: SwiftSpear on December 16, 2004, 05:55:43 AM
One fateful night (tonight) I decided to do a google search of my name, just to see if it was cool or not or something...  I don't know, honestly that is beside the point.

To this point in time I have never heard of another internet persona who used my particual handel, until today.  The head admin of this (http://hazel51193.proboards26.com/index.cgi) atrociously discusting forum has blatantly insulted me with the lifting of my gloriously conceived name and I will not rest until this wrong is righted.  Not only am I enduring these discusting insults, but to make matters worse this "hazel swiftspear" is aparently but a mere 11 year old female human... who writes fanfic style RPG quests no less! and aparently has something against people knowing her location.

At least I can claim definitively that I have been using the title first, as my name first appears on the NS forums october 2003, which is a long long time ago...  But still, this is a mockery to my good name! whatever shall I do?!?

Gasp the horror (http://hazel51193.proboards26.com/index.cgi?action=viewprofile&username=admin)

I will update as soon as there is any relevent news (ya right, I'm not going to harrass a 12 year old over a handle  :p) but as it stands right now, my horror shall never be lived down!




If you enjoyed my pain and suffering then screw you, you sick puppy!

when i look up thorax in google, i get, http://thorax.bmjjournals.com/ (http://thorax.bmjjournals.com/)

...and the second one down is a disgusting looking (but undoubtedly delicious) thorax cake (http://www.theyrecoming.com/extras/pumpkinfest03/)
and after that numerous references to the human torso.

...and my name is taken from a UT2k3 robot.

this kinda stuff makes me wanna make up a new name for myself, but i'm already known as ThoraX in many places.

[edit]: blah, now i look at my name and think how dumb it looks.. sure, it sounds cool when the UT announcer guys says it...

Title: THE HORROR
Post by: Crispy on December 17, 2004, 09:00:42 AM
According to the second link this is who I am:

Crispy is a fire breathing, glass walking, hearse-driving freak and ordained minister. As one of Denver's most advanced fire-performers, Crispy not only eats and breathes the stuff he also dances with poi, fire staff, and the flaming cube. His fascination with pain, physics, and human biology has led him down the path of the insane. Crispy performs an array of strange and unnatural acts that a fellow oughtn't do. Yes, he walks on glass. Yes, he eats glass. He does something truly bizarre with an ice pick. As though this weren't enough, Crispy feels quite at home lying on a bed of nails or demonstrating his invulnerable flesh as the human pin cushion and human dart board. His recreation of the ancient Brahmo Thread Mystery must be seen to be believed. Crispy has finally mastered the art of sword swallowing making him one of fewer than 50 performing sword swallowers in the world.

On the same page was a list of the dangerous and awe-inspiring acts that I do in some of my shows, mostly pretty 'regular' stuff like Glass Walking, Bed of Nails, Knife Throwing, Human Dartboard, Sword Swallowing but also, apparently, I perform Erotic Fire Play for a more adult audience whatever that's supposed to mean. Other members of my 'family' include Firefly (http://www.crispyfamily.com/performers/firefly/firefly.html), ''Boobzilla' (http://www.crispyfamily.com/performers/Boobzilla/boobzilla.html)' and Ukulele Loki (http://www.crispyfamily.com/performers/loki/loki.html). I've chosen not to think about it too much.

Google checks for the number of hits to sites through links as well as just straight hits. So, a link called "Geminosity" linking to an agriculture site will associate Gem with cows.

Well, not surprisingly there were several links relating to everybody's favourite animal, the emperor penguin.

But then I found this (http://www.plastic.com/members.html;name=emperorpenguin).  What scared the crap out of me is that this guy's from the same city as I am!  I have half a mind to find him and beat him up, stupid name-stealer.

And what tore me apart was that it wasn't until page 4 that I actually saw a reference to myself!  I'm not unique at all!

to get it a little more ontopic I wasn't always the only geminosity =o

Originally someone managed to find another geminosity a while after I had this name which surprised me because it never turned up on google when I was making sure nobody had the name and it still doesn't come up to this day.  Luckily the previous Gem stopped putting anything on the net about 3 years ago and doesn't seem to have been since.

It had nothing to do with me... honest ^^;

Title: THE HORROR
Post by: Crispy on December 23, 2004, 01:09:20 PM
I didn't want to go overboard, just test out the effectiveness of putting it in certain places. As such I didn't merit it worthy of dispacing my NS-related Haiku. Adding it (or due to Gem's lashback, some other link) to a sig was going to be test #2 in my Googlewacking research.

Just checked the link you posted... well now I'll have to edit that post too. Admit it BM, you're just as interested in my little experiment as I am. :rolleyes:

I may as well take this opportunity to apologise to Geminosity, it was never designed to be a personal attack and what's more a simple PM to me would have avoided this thread turning into what it has become.

Nevertheless I'm interested to gauge opinion on what we've seen, but taking Geminosity out of the equation so all complaints can be avoided. Do I have any ownership of my forum handle, and is so, to what extent? A name like Crispy could occur on many a board, so if someone does deliberately associate it with something (regardless of this something could be perceived by others), do I have a right to complain. Is there a difference if it was aimed at associating Crispy (John Doe from Idaho) with animal porn or associating "Crispy" (a product brandname) with happiness? Does Crispy045 on one forum have the same right as ::Crispy:: on another to complain? (if, indeed, either of them have that right).

Without evidence surely anyone could claim that they were associating a completely unrelated person, product or company with whatever they have been accused of associating the accusing person, product or company. Also although I only skim through the text that you have to acknowledge in your application before joining a forum, I can't say that I've noticed anywhere the statement referring to your acceptance or informing that your handle will become your legal property.

I'm not trying to deny that I did what I did, (I will say that there was no malicious intent), more to question what is right and what is wrong, what is legal or illegal in this area. I think it's raised an interesting discussion point.

Title: THE HORROR
Post by: Geminosity on December 23, 2004, 10:05:09 PM
lol

it's not really about ownership, it's about representation.  There's thousands of people out there so the chances of something having the same name as you down to even the family name while small pretty much will happen due to the massive population of this lil world of ours =3

As for the link thing,  the only intention of that was to link the name I use pretty much exclusively (like I said there's only been 1 other I know of and they seem to be extinct... they definitely don't show up on google) and linking it to a cow site... the only reason anyone would do that in my mind is to annoy me or make me look stupid.
It's misinformation and it's insulting and you know that all too well despite all the philosophical babble.

I'm not one for subtlety when someone's annoyed me so I tend not to bother with PMs when I want someone to know they've crossed the line =P

Mainly forums and game stats (NS/CS). It turns out that I am still part of a CS clan that I joined maybe 3-4 years ago, AND MY STATS ARE STILL THERE! Who I killed, where I shot them, how many times, what gun, it's insane!
My threads on forums are everywhere. Also, it seems that I'm a popular poster company!
