Topic: Epic Internets Fight

[sirean_syan]

This stuff is like a train wreck.

Things start out innocent enough when a nut starts arguing with the folks at Something Awful, but then 4Chan and the like get involved and things just go downhill from there.

Oh man, this is gold.  I wish I had time to read the whole thing.

nice. just got to the bit where they're spamming his name to affect google rankings.

[PyroMenace]

I'm not sure what to believe, what with all the people running around pretending to be Adam L. Goldstein for teh lulz, but supposedly he has actually retained lawyers and started making threatening phone calls.

The rumor is driving /b/ even more apeshit, natch.

Oh, and Google still has the Something Awful thread cached. If you want to read it, try searching for "Adam L. Goldstein."

[WindAndConfusion]

Google's only got the first page and there's a sudden shortage of material on teh Internets. Does anyone have a link or a screencap or something?

[Quemaqua]

Damn, I guess I should have read the rest while I had the chance.

Fuck, I totally missed out.  Anyone find a recap or anything?  I only saw the first page.

Oh man, that's a shitty thing to do. Any muslim who's unaware of the Adam Goldstein situation would just take offense.

On the other hand it does come off as a valid riot/bombing invitation.

it's not just korans, i think there's been something like 200,000+ UPS boxes ordered to his home and business addresses, plus massive amounts of pizza, and basically anything else you can order for free or without immediate payment.

also non-stop phone calls and black faxes. there was even talk of phoning every business from a-z in the NJ phone directory and organising meetings within 10 minutes of each other at this guys address. i'd love to see the fallout from that one.

well if you're going to treat your customers like complete shit and then act like an indignant prick about it, this is what you deserve.

[Xessive]

Hehe I'm glad people are acting on this. Hope he gets all that he deserves.

[shock]

I wish I could read how things progressed originally.  This audio is funny, but I feel like I'm missing the story.

"they're on the internet.. and they have keyboards.. and they type on them.."

http://encyclopediadramatica.com/Adam_L._Goldstein is probably the best synopsis currently available.

[shock]

That's better.  They have the original thread at the bottom too.

PS: I listened to the audio again.  That guy was definitely taking bong rips during the call when he started going off.  HAHA
