Yes Jojo. But as I keep telling you, quality over quantity any time.
And your lads only got shot at. Mine was raped by a lion, beaten by a gorilla and caught ebola of the goolies. Eventually I told him that his whole family was eaten by crocodiles and that there is no god.
My, how I laughed. |

Their own greed and nativity. That's what gets me so pissed off, bringing nativity into the whole equation.

I loved it, and viewed it with a gentle smile (yes I had noticed the typo initially).
but i figgered praise from such a new one as me would not be appreciated. |

What about the whole vic generalization? |
This is the most fair criticism of my posts, is my vic generalization. I'm sure there is a whole spectrum of different kinds of victims, and I should not have generalized about them. However, I have to say that I have a clinical lack of empathy for people in general, and hearing the scope of the natures of the victimized will not tug at my heart strings.
I am not saying my lack of empathy is a merit, just a fact.
I do not think, however, that learning about victims in anyway changes the basic moral issue... which is that baiters use the same methods that scammers do, and for much less tangible reward.
RE: Sadism. Sadism is merely taking pleasure in other people's pain. I'm not sure why you are insulted by this, baiters clearly take pleasure in the pain of the scammers, at least the baiters interviewed on TAL ( Which this thread is about, btw). It was the sadism that Ira recoiled against, when he said that he just didn't find the lad email's funny, and was puzzled by your own amusement. It was suggested on the podcast that if Ira dealt with these scammers, and learned more about the victims, that he would think it was funny. I highly doubt it. First off, I'm positively certain that TAL and Ira did extensive research before conducting the interview(certainly more than I did before posting here), he was educated about the victims and the scammers. He still did not think it was funny. Why? Because he is not a sadist. He does not take pleasure in the suffering of others. He does not try and build some elaborate moral facade to justify his sadism. He simply does not take the same pleasure you do at other people's pain, no matter what they have done to deserve it. It was that difference that prompted me to post here.. Ira's lack of sadism verses the baiter's obvious sadism. |

It's the scamming of the scammers, and actively trying to mentally, emotionally and physically hurt them that is the interesting thing on this website, it's the motivation for baiting, that I think people here are in denial about. I'm sorry if I painted too broad of a brush with some of my statements, I should have been more clear. |
Was that supposed to clear things up?
Personally, I have not tried to mentally, emotionally, or physically hurt anyone. Most of my baits are completely straight. I try to come off as a real victim, raise scammer hopes, and then divert their attention away from other potential victims. I get them to send me information about bank accounts that are being used for scams and I report those to the proper authorities. If I come across a fake site that is being used to scam people, I help get it shut down. If I get information about other victims, I let them know they are being scammed. I get check scammers to send fake checks to imaginary addresses and lie about how I blew the money I was supposed to lose to them. Sometimes I get them to take stupid pictures, or fill out meaningless forms. The only anguish my lads have ever suffered is writer's cramp, disappointment, and maybe a little humiliation.
I'm not in denial about anything. I know why I do what I do, and I know why I find much of what I read here entertaining. There are thousands of active members here, you won't fit us all into one tiny, uninformed box.
To suggest that I am sadistic and made from the same cloth as the scammers themselves is ridiculous. |

We take more offense to it with the fact that you do not see that there is a difference. Indeed, we use similar tactics. That is fact. However, our reasoning is different. If these were not bad people, we wouldn't do it. We (YW, Prof and myself) do it for two reasons: keeping them from vics and for fun. If it's sadistic, okay. Still, it does an effective job.
Again, no mention of the nativity. X one gazillion |

And agian, there's a difference between providing a resource for educating about scams, and to shut down scamming websites, and with baiting. |
Shutting down websites [won't help a lot even though it is important too].
EDIT: I didn't mean to underestimate shutting down scamming websites. (Besides, it would be too difficult for me... )
May I ask if you could understand baiting if it was full-time police/LEO work? I think they would (and they do) use rough tactics. Does it make a policeman/woman sadistic or morally murky? Or who could actually do anything to slow up the corruption of the world if the motives were the highest criteria?
Sorry, I'm feeding the troll

@ DirtMcGirt
You state that laughing is a sign of sadism.
Does laughing at the irony of a situation count as sadism?
Jojo and YW laugh as a defensive mechanism. Prof would laugh at irony. That's if he knew what it was.
But that's a moot point. You came here with pre-conceived ideas about the whole community and then proceeded to insinuate that we are outright liars when told otherwise.

That comment does you nor your argument any favours whatsoever. A lack of empathy means you stand outside the circle of understanding. If you can't identify with a victim then you are therefore totally unqualified to judge them. Thats not an opinion but blatant logic.
Yet you feel you can judge baiters. Why? Because you feel some sort of empathy with us? I've already told you that I don't follow your views and from what I see here, neither do the vast majority of other Eater members. Yet still you claim otherwise. Even if (and it's a big IF) the 3 guys involved in the Chad bait are sadists, can you therefore make a logical leap that we're all like them. If that were the case, wouldn't this forum be full of Chad type baits?
You're trying to put us all in the same boat as yourself. But that boat has sailed and you're probably the only passenger.
Give it up. You're arguing yourself into a corner. No matter how smart you try to look, how eloquent your use of the English language, you can't beat logic. |

I'm not saying that I, personally, care about your actions from an ethical stand point, because I don't. I found the Adamu bait to be hilarious, and I don't care a bit about the moral and ethical issues. I just find it curious and perhaps hypocritical that the Adamu baiters take a moral and ethical high ground, to justify putting him in material and physical danger. This bait went far beyond lucky's form of baiting, which is merely waisting a scammer's time. Sending him to chad, to 100 miles from darfur was trying to get him hurt or killed, not to waist his time. Giving him that note in arabic to show people was trying to get him hurt or killed. You can say you were just trying to get him arrested, but I wonder what the penal system is like 100 miles from darfur? And you're trying to get him killed, for what... for fraud? Do you think we should adopt the death penalty in the United States for fraud? |

FFS Jojo. You've had 3 hours and all you could come up with in that time was that crappy line?
No wonder your safaris are of such poor quality. |

I'm going along with Jayhawk, Slightly, Bombadier, SpecialK, especially on their thoughts. This statement by him reinforces my own thoughts, but I think the new guy is a bigger sadist than any of us ever could be.
He finds amusement in his regard to the victims of scams, and feels no sympathy for them. He preaches that he doesn't care about victims at all, and actually relishes the comments against his views.
Warn me if you must, or edit my comments, but Dirt is nothing but that name. Dirt. Not ignorant at all, but just an asshole troll who should just move along to another website that shares his callousness and sadistic nature. Or, do some baiting here, and not "be so lazy." |

That's a bold statement, but it's probably true. At least a bigger sadist than most of you, or than most of you are apparently willing to admit. The difference is, I have no illusions or delusions about myself. Well, maybe "no dellusions or illusions" is a little strong.. I just don't delude myself about that, is probably more correct.
I'm not trying to condemn the Adamu bait. I'm just condemning the moral justification for it. |
