We're not talking about simple complaints or reviews. Over 5000 pages at the time, of everything from rip-off sites, to made up porn sites, professional sites and dating sites (even targeting my now deceased (and at the time very young and vulnerable) son and one of my daughters), to every viral social media site there is. Even to this day it often continues with hate and stalking content. Some I have managed to get pulled down but without source IP's, passwords, emails; it's impossible to tackle that much. I comment elsewhere on this site that "Political Russians had nothing on these guys".
This world we live in is filled with people out there that live and thrive on trolling and pursuing. People who create the like, of what those who targeted us not only started, but built as solid as unbreakable steel. Very effective in diverting attention off themselves.
With that said, the one thing that seems to be pretty effective is to publicly expose the creators when possible.
Let's experiment on some exposure:
1. There is one Troll who has been at it for a very long time. Long before I came along. He has been at it for years and has many more victims other than myself and my family. In his Colorado focus he's been supported by the apathy of somewhat powerful journalists who have a public forum.
Slippery, slimy...one of his favorite tactics is to put truly disgusting content out and when he sees any criticism directed to it, he pulls it down or seeds a balancing content under different avatars.
I am going to call out now: "The Strange Case of Shawnee Ryan" which is trolled constantly for all these years and is the creation of a 'man' named MICHAEL MAYER. I met this individual once: for less than 5 to 10 minutes, 16 years ago.
You longtime locals and surely the Garfield County Sheriff's Department and the Glenwood Springs Post Independent/Aspen Times (SWIFT COMMUNICATIONS/JOHN STROUD/JOHN COLSON) remember this prolific Troll as "FourMileMikey" and "someguyincolorado" (seeds his comments sections on all his sites with the latter) and his Colorado creation: "Pay Back Pal" blog. My now deceased son and I have been now stalked by him and his internet creations for years, as recently as within the past two weeks.
He did express to me, during that one and only few minutes sixteen years ago and when my son was still alive; a desire for the 'fame' he thought he might get if he wrote about me. Claims he has a Glenwood Springs based attorney that he "consults" on content. Hmmm...maybe someday he and that 'attorney' will get some measure of fame. If and when he does: 99.9% probability that there is truthful 'fame' catching up to him at that time. Rather than the nothing but conjecture he sits in his darkened internet cave creating. Often will "cut and run" by deleting comments when exposed but always leaving the bulk of whatever filth he created behind.
"Heeey,.... Mikey!!" Just accept my call out now. And take it down. Leave my deceased son and I alone. Get a life. Start a purely fishing blog or something. Join the rest of the "Architects" named on this blog. Amuse yourself; use up planet space, by posting funny pet videos or pictures of your food on social media. Go to school, get a law degree and learn to be a viable part of the justice system.
ANYTHING could be better than forcing the internet to listen to your bloviating and rambling nonsense and your targeting of a very young and vulnerable young man who was incapable of defending himself.
