Who is the Stick Man? 2006/03/10 3 comments
The Claim
I think you should fix your website and not let people put things on there that spread viruses, like the one I got from you.
I was checking your website out over a year ago. I clicked on something and it started going through a bunch of files and windows were popping up and it was going crazy. We turned the computer off to stop it and it never worked right again. It got to the point that it wouldn't even turn on. I don't even remember the one we had clicked on.

The Responce
I find the absurdity of your claim amusing. Let me dissect your libelous assertions.
* My website has been primarily used by my few close friends and family as a means to keep tabs on me. Why would I put any virus there to harm those people's computers?
* You wait "over a year" to tell me about this, and then only do it once provoked. How convenient.
* I am the only person who posts to my page, therefore no one has "put things on there that spread viruses." Comments can be posted, but nothing malevolent could be put there by any of the users.
* A virus could hardly cause damage so severe that you were required to buy a new computer. While it's likely that you don't know how to format a drive and reinstall your OS, I do find it unlikely that you didn't consider taking it to a computer repair center. Software (a virus for example) cannot damage hardware (like the damages you claim). I encourage you to independently verify my claims.
* You lost your computer, which likely cost over or around a thousand dollars, why then did you never report the crime? You're only insulting yourself if you say that you didn't know it was a crime to destroy someone's computer. Or does this just indicate a measure of uncertainty on your part?
* The language you've used to describe the events clearly denotes you as an expert in computer science. I'm just a layman, but let me try to interpret what you're saying. "(I)t started going through a bunch of files and windows were popping up," this means that your husband was surfing porn and picked up some spyware, malware, or a browser hijacker. "It got to the point that it wouldn't even turn on," means that you hadn't taken Quicktime, Realplayer, MSOffice, Kazaa, AIM, YahooIM, CometCursor, Gator, and WeatherBuddy off your startup and it took 30 minutes to boot.

If you can read through all these arguments against your claim and find some loophole that I might have not covered I would love to read it. The fact is you made that assertion based on emotion, not a real event. You remember visiting my web page and sometime after that things stopped working. Since you're upset with me I became a viable target for this event. What I'm saying is, you are wrong. You're still fighting a stick man.

Wow, that's a textbook desription of the effects to your computer when you surf "free porn" sites w/o a firewall. Other jolly undead black housekeepers with tooth-decay out there tempted to patron such sites would do well to heed thy warning!

Nice. That's all that needs to said, just NICE.

Talking to her was like poking PK with a stick. You tap once, stand back, and watch the fur fly.
