Please do not feed the troll (oufti queen)

We're supposed to feed the baiters.

Posted: Tue Apr 27, 2010 7:34 am

I'm not a vigilante you knob.

They start with an assumption then use a load of ill informed prejudice and half baked flummery to back it up.

*Edit* Just to clear up, I mean the author of that "academic" tripe, not oufti queen.

Welcome Oufti Queen. Very Happy

OK guys, let's cool it a little bit before jumping on the new poster.

English is not oufti queen's first language and the statement may look worse than it was meant to and also it may have been made in ignorance.

We encourage all new members to join in discussions here and when there is a case of a "mistake", we do not jump down their throats. (Shit, I can't believe I'm saying this). We politely put them straight.

So let's calm down on the troll accusations for now. Wink

Another ignorant, one sided article. Those who know need not be told... those who don't, seldom listen.

I have met Ima. She is not a male and I am not white. I am willing to bet the dumbass who wrote that article would tell me I am wrong because he says so. It's not enough he decided what is going on in our minds but he has to decide everyone's race and gender too. The author is clueless.

I see, it is the rules of this forum !

the 419baiter has been suspended for the reasons you can read on the racism review...

It's all babble so I skimped though it but where does it say anything even close to that? I didn't read anything about why the site is down.

What do you mean "it is the rules of this forum"?

If it's something as simple as hosting fees I'll be happy to contribute.

If we're officially all racists now, does that mean I'm gonna have to bait my adoptive brother now? He's a [insert N-word here], you know. (Kind of a shame really, we always got along really well.)
Seriously, whatever moron wrote that 'article' on baiting leaves himself wide open for multiple libel lawsuits. Fuck, if I were one of the people mentioned in that blog post, I'd sue that twit for all he's got. people wrongly accusing others of being racist are just as bad as the racists themselves, if not worse. They make us genuine anti-racists look like idiots, too.

On a more constructive note:

web.archive.org can't find anything, so no contact info. The only page not in Google's cache is http://www.419baiter.com/contact_me.html.

Mark this day well ppl. You'll never have to buy a drink again. Very Happy

Hope it's just a technical hitch at 419baiter and not the end.

Oh my god. This "Jessie" doesn't know much about scambaiting, right?...

We're doing good thing to save real victims and you can still find people who bitch about it Evil or Very Mad

Personally, I'd rather complain about 419baiter being down (and finding out why) than about that article or someone who posted a few somewhat incoherent comments. The article doesn't seem to have attracted much attention, anyway.

EDIT: I've found an archive of the "contact me" page.

http://web.archive.org/web/20061108082955/www.419baiter.com/contact_me.html

Here is the main address: [email protected]

Unfortunately, since the address includes the site itself, which is down... Evil or Very Mad

Mail sent to [email protected]. Will post the reply here if I get one.

Well lets all just calm down now, the site is back up. Thats all that matters.

Posted: Tue Apr 27, 2010 3:50 pm

It looks like the site is in the process of being resurrected. This is a good thing -- for us, but not for the lads. Twisted Evil

Posted: Tue Apr 27, 2010 6:26 pm

I feel compelled to post regarding this topic. I just got a few scripts from
Malaysia, an IP that traces back to La Paz, Bolivia, aaaand.....I bait as
10 or 12 characters of all 3 genders and all colors of the rainbow.

hehe (3 genders) that should make for some lively commentary.
Including but not limited to: A hugely successful African-American stock-broker and money manager and an Hispanic priest. So there !

Seems to be working fine now.

Posted: Tue Apr 27, 2010 6:50 pm

^ Yeah I clicked on it and it seemed to be back to normal. I must of missed this but I just wish I didn't read that "Racism" article link though. That really pissed me off (because I'm a white person who has been racially slandered).

Happy birthday mum! (My birthday is a week from April 27th (Today, where I'm at)!)

Glad its back up, I just started using that site, its a wonderful resource.

Posted: Tue Apr 27, 2010 8:18 pm

It's back up!

These types of resources are becoming rarer by the month. 'Twould be foolish not to take note of the newer one as well as the classics.

I have never seen that site before. It is the only other one like it that I've seen besides 419baiter itself. We need to raise awareness of it! Very Happy

Anyway, I'm very relieved 419baiter's back too! jump_4_joy

I guess yes. I encountered it by coincidence and thought I took a note of it

when I saw this thread for the first time, I tried to locate the address but I couldn't.

today, I found it in one of my folders Very Happy

and I agree with you, eaters should do the same Twisted Evil

The Guestbook of guestbooks still shows .... This site has been suspended ....

I can remember some entrys there that could be seen as NOT `politically correct`

Regarding the racism article: I hadn't seen that before. It's so ignorant that if it wasn't so offensive to us it would be downright hilarious in it's ridiculousness.

Quote:

These photos are called “trophies” in the parlance of the scam baiters, and in many ways are reminiscent of the photographs of lynchings that were once popular in the U.S. The radio show This American Life did an episode about the men (yes, they’re all men) who do this. Perhaps not surprisingly, neither the CNN/Money.com report nor the This American Life episode mention race as even a factor at play in, if not an underlying motive for, these transnational vigilantes. Certainly none of the reporting that’s been done about this to date mentions any similarity with lynching photography

What??

I am so disappointed to find out that not only am I racist but I'm a man. My husband is not going to be happy about this. Crying or Very sad

It's ridiculous of them to assume that we're all white males baiting here.

Ima, it seems that you were typecast and prejudged by a radical that ironically prides themselves in being "tolerant". Their ability to strain at a gnat while swallowing a camel is amazing to me. They will wring their hands and pontificate about a mugu with a fish on his head while remaining silent about the ruined lives of thousands of victims on a global scale.

But for the ITP rule, I would love to find that author's phone number and ASEM it into ladland.

Warning, nonsensical rant follows:
It is clear that those that wrote the article on "Racism Review", have no idea what they are talking about. Just for the record, I am a certified non-white, not that it matters. The smallest minority is the individual, therefore the focus should be on protecting the individuals rights, not any collective group.

I think a more fitting title for that site would be "The Racist Online", since they themselves are the racists. I think that I can safely assume that the author of that article, buys into the scammers notion of correcting past injustices, through scamming. Although, it is hard to understand how the white man in any way injured these people, they are still in Africa and were never slaves.

Frankly, I (and anyone else, if they are honest) would prefer the western culture, to that of any jungle dwelling tribe. Here at least my rights are protected. These racists survive by stoking racial tension, otherwise they would be unemployed. My advice to anyone, ignore them, they will go away.

Oh no! Is 419baiter dead?	View next topic View previous topic
