Internet Cowards

“While I doubt the person over at backpacker.com is the same person that went by Bacpac on this stie, I'd just like to understand what kind of a spineless, dickless piece of crap feels it's okay to make comments like that.

In person, this idiot would have already been taken care of. The condition of anonymity is the only thing allowing a little putz like that to say something of that sort without paying a price.

PedXing stood up against this kind of thing on the politicizing a personal tragedy thread, only to have it turned against him in a time like this. Absolute crap.”

“agreed”

“Backpacker.com sent us oskar.
We sent them bacpac.

They got the worst part of the trade.”

“I agree..let him stay over there...

If it wasn't for comments like that we would probably have the same cares if something similar happened to him...forget him now!”

“unfortunately it happened to the wrong person...”

“even if it was not him, there was a real person behind the computer typing in those crule words.

does not matter WHO it was, it was a crule thing to say.
they have to live with themselves.”

“Right Phaed, I don't think it's the same one either. No matter who it is however, there's no excuse for that kind of spineless idiocy.”

“you don't put that kind of cruelty past the real bacpac?”

“I do, for the most part.”

“Well, whomever is the silicon chip named "bacpac", is an insensitive prick with no moral values (or any other redeeming quality).”

“Well, I am holding judgment on "our" bacpac until I get some confirmation whether he posted that.

But, ever who it was, the sorry bastard needs to have the living #&%!$ kicked out of him and bygod, I will gladly volunteer to do it.”

“Of all the times to ignore a troll, would that not have been it?”

“bacpac is not a troll.”

“I missed this story. What happened?”

“Some things are more than trolling, even when you don't have to share your name.”

“Agreed bearmagnet, but at a highly emotional time like this it's understandable when people react to something like that. Even if they shouldn't have.”

“I hope the prick is real happy with himself, because he won't be when karma comes to bite him in the a$$.”

“See the Pedxing thread, JO. There's a link to things bacpac said about pedxing "over there."”

“Sparring over political issues is one thing, but this "bacpac" character crossed the line. How pathetic.”

“What happened, where is it on BP forums?”

“That post on the other site goes beyond sociopathicsm. It not only shows disregard and total lack of empathy, but I'd bet the person is getting total pleasure out of the reaction he's getting. Quite pathetic.”

“Skully - Why do you think that bacpac is not the same as our's?”

“I know bacpac isn't well thought of but I honestly expect better of him than that.”

“I understand. it's really nice how close to each other you are. Hope to meet some of you in the near future.”

“Same here, HPM. Like I said, I am witholding judgment until he comes forth with a confession or a denial.”

“All I know is that I wouldn't want chili36 kicking my butt! You'se a big dude! :-)”

“Because there are such a limited number of spellings for the word backpack (it is a backpacking site, after all) and there are thousands of people posting on the internet. It could be anybody. I'm too much of a skeptic to buy into it just because someone else has. That's just the way I am.”

Pedxing was usually pretty rude to me over on that site. I guess ye reap what ye sow.



I clicked on his name and this came up:

“No contempt prior to investigation!
PLEEZE his family may read these and they dont need any more stuff!”

“That is just sick!


8\”

“Your right, Jerry. Whoever posted that hit my last nerve. Sorry.”

“Isn't there a fake walkindude over there?

bacpac likes mean and I really don't think he would post that.

You really have to anticipate that someone will post something like that whenever there is a tradgedy.”

“It was about as contemptible as it gets StoveStomper. But try not to feed the negativity. Ped and his family need positive thoughts and prayers right now.”

“

Trolling aims to elicit an emotional reaction from those with a hair-trigger on the reply key. A really subtle troll makes some people lose their minds.

He can't be a troll A real troll would elicite a multitude of responses. And nothing as tame as that by a lawyer:

"But, ever who it was, the sorry bastard needs to have the living #&%!$ kicked out of him and bygod, I will gladly volunteer to do it."
chili36

No, he can't be a troll.”

who gives a ratsass if it was him or not, who ever it was is a sicko.

that was soo uncalled for. thats not why i come to trail talk or backpacker...stupid...”

“I would think anyone would care. I personally don't like being accused of doing things I didn't do or doing that to others.”

“If anyone thinks I'm an A$$ for pointing this out then feel free - has anyone checked out the last comment over there? Is that more troll like and best to be ignored?”

“Isn't there a moderator over on that site? Go complain to him!”

“Time for a cut and paste from desiderata

"for always there will be greater and lesser persons than yourself"

The writer of that post is an example of the lesser persons.

"Avoid loud and aggressive persons, they are vexations to the spirit"

Some people will use any device to get attention - ignore them.”

“"Pedxing was usually pretty rude to me over on that site" does not sound like your typical bacpac comment. hes also not low enough to equate rudeness on a message board to deserving life-threatening physical harm and thousands of dollars in property damage. no, more likely, its someone baccy has really pissed off (ya think there might be a few like that, hmmmmm?) and is using peds tragedy to smear pac.”

“You know StormBringer, that part's been bugging me too.

Bacpac used to be really hard on Stikmon, ragging on him all the time. It got harsh. Then, when he had the chance to kick Stikky when he was down, he passed on it. Even told him he respected him. Not only that but he turned around and donated some bet money to a charity of Stikmon's choice. And what had happened to Stikmon wasn't even close to tragic.

This just doesn't seem consistent with bacpac's past behavior.”

scroll down about 2/3's of the way ripping on Violin”

“I agree with skully.
As crusty and obnoxious as Bacpac is/was he seemed to govern himself by some "honor" or "code" . . .that post "ye reap what ye sow" just doesn't sound like him.

He is/was a bastard, but that is what we LIKED about him. And that is the role he played here.


Harsh at times yes. But in an honest, let's cut through the BS and call a spade a spade sort of way . . .not generally harsh in a mean and spiteful way.

I would place more money on a TT regular who was pissed off at B.P. and decided to throw some mud on him.”

“I don't know, the link provided by wheelz sort of tips the scales some.

Still not beyond a reasonable doubt, but I would really like to hear from bacpac on this issue.”

“im not the most positive person, but i am really shocked at how easily so many of us are convinced to believe the worst in a person. its amusing, seeing the regulars trip over themselves trying to be more indignant than the last guy.”

“come on. there are other ways to show solidarity with ped than bacpac-bashing. but in the interest of fairness, ill check out that link. maybe y'all are right. who knows. but i doubt it.”

“That's pretty shltty if it was him. I went off on him over there but changed it after having second thoughts. If it was him and he ever comes back here he's gettin' stonewalled bigtime.”

“From backpacker: "bacpac: Registered Forum User Since Nov 26, 2002 6:46 AM"

If this a someone trolling as bacpac, they have been trolling since Nov 2002 with that handle.

We have a couple of people here that I suspect would think trolling like this is fun.
Still, I would like to see a flat out denial from 'our' bacpac.”

“"What a surprise. Violin is wrong on TT and he is wrong on this site as well."

thats it? thats your proof? or did i miss something? its well-know that violin was the yin to bacpac yang (or vice versa). good trolls make use of these facts”

“Unless I miss my guess, the bacpac we know here is now Mr Nice Guy, and that troll on the other site is spock/alaska/usa. I could be wrong, but it certainly fits the MO.

When Matt banned him as thebackpacker, he rolled out to another backpacking site and started trolling there using the names of TT regulars.”
