The Topix Troll Protection Program

Longtime, dedicated non-readers know that the poster formerly known as Angelique770 has been stalking me for five years now. Her minions deny that, citing that there is no longer a registered poster, Angelique770, there never could have been.

I may have mentioned before that some of these people hide like three year old's. They close their eyes and you can't see them.

Angelique770's original profile has gone through many, many changes over the years. She has been Chiarra, Annabella and several others, all from the same account. We're not talking socks here where anybody with an email address can become a new profile. This is the same profile and user, changing names. I recall reading that Topix allowed this if a person "had a good reason". Then I recalled who had posted that. It was one of Angelique770's socks! She was explaining why her name had changed. She was being stalked...probably by a Ferrerman....and Topix had changed her profile....to protect the innocent.... You will notice this on old threads where the original profile name is still in replies from other posters though the avatar has changed. I haven't noticed anyone but Angelique having done this.

Sheesh! Think about that from a Topix perspective. If they allowed people to willy-nilly change their profiles, they would be inundated with posters wanting to do that. Some would want to do it on an hourly basis! Maybe post to post. From a puffing up the post count standpoint, it would cost them money. As far as advertisers know, Kevin (for example) really is two or three hundred different people. Same with a Bex or anybody else who has a sock drawer full of personalities. (Ferrerman's note: Copping a plea to having 4 or 5 socks *proves* that is ALL you've got! You wouldn't lie, would you?)

So, as I and others have suspected for a long time, Angelique works for Topix. Her job would be to, perhaps, organize consortium's of posters to promote as much posting as possible, anyway she saw fit. Sounds like a business plan to me!

I'm trying to be nice here. It's every bit as likely that she is a 300 pound, retired longshoreman named "Lou" whose only joy in life is trolling people on Topix. Which image do you prefer? One makes as much sense as the other.

Back in the day, when I was first posting on Topix in the Chicago Forum, I posted quite a bit with "The Regulars" of the time. I was asked to join the offshore Yahoo accounts where they posted stories and chatted and whatever. I say "and whatever" because I don't know because I didn't join. I was just getting used to Topix and the internet itself and I wasn't interested in secret societies. And, honestly, I've got that Groucho Marx thing going on where I wouldn't want to join any club that would have me as a member. I've also got his walk but, that's a story for another day.

Frankly, though I thought it harmless at the time, I didn't buy her therapist act. I thought it was bullshit. She would drop some Psych 101 observations into discussions of Amy/Abby letters (which the regulars feasted upon each day)  and it was pretty easy stuff. I wondered why she bothered or had the time. Well, she explained, she was (then) teaching psychology and this was something she could do between classes. She begged off of personal analysis of someone's dilemma in life because, well, she wasn't there to give it away after all!

Oh, sounded like teachable moments to me....TEACHER...

She also didn't believe in love, writing off every romantic relationship in the history of the world as a PEA Haze", some psychobabble about chemicals and yada yada so, love, from a clinical standpoint, was but a chemical reaction and not love, actually. Or maybe she was talking about boners and got confused?

Therapist? No. Teacher? No. I don't know what she was but it was easy to see she wasn't a therapist or teacher of fledgling therapists. Such stretching of truth is typical on the internet and you kinda sigh and read on past the war heroes and millionaires to get to the rest of the story. You have to admit, fake therapist shows some creativity. Although, combat VETERAN fake therapist would be really cool...

Anyhoo, A770 did not appreciate Ferrerman calling her out on the therapist thing. I found her to be manipulative of people and I didn't like that but, trying to manipulate me was something I was against most of all. After a period of sparring on the threads, she mentioned (offshore...) to the ladies that, a couple of months earlier...Ferrerman....had sent her a picture of his penis...(and THAT had slipped her mind????!!!) and, well...what did the rest of the gals think about that...?

How long does one have to go college and grad school before they might think to mention to their girlfriends- when it happens- that a guy they all know sent her a picture of his naughty bits? Every woman I know in the real world would be on that in a heartbeat. Some would call the police. If the sender was an NFL quarterback, some would call TMZ. None would wait two months until the guy had fallen out of favor of the group and then mention that, by the way....

I covered this bullshit in the beginning of this blog and am just highlighting it for new and or lazy, dedicated non-readers. I bring it up now because I think this might be a Topix employee that has been hounding me all this time. She's doing business as a hundred plus versions of the name "Sue" now but, though she disavows any knowledge of Angelique770 or the Chicago Regulars, she is old friends with Sublime1 from that forum. They know all the stories of dick pics and any (and then some) gossip about custody issues I may or may not have had while married, long ago and far away but, they don't know who A770 was and if I'm thinking that she's any of the various Sue's, well then i'm wrong about that. Maybe Sublime1, who is a lawyer, can sue me for that too. Alert readers may notice that Sublime1 is a common thread here. Maybe he's the one feeding Topix readers gossip about Ferrerman's personal life? I should sue him! I'll call a divorce lawyer to handle his patent attorney ass because I want this bitch out of my life and I figure that's what divorce lawyers do! Right?

For all I know he is Angelique770.

But, I'm not saying that. And i'm not saying that Topix would knowingly hire people who would stalk people in their real lives for the purpose of punching up their post count. That they would hire people who lie for that same purpose about pictures of people's genitals and such. I'm not saying they hire people to DO all that. They might hire people to do that but, i'm not saying that.

I guess I'm saying they might hire people who DO do that at the worst and, very likely at the best they hire people who allow others to do all that.

Yep, that is what I am saying. It sure seems this way...
