What does Lord Rick think he&#8217;s talking about? 1000 bots and two or three posters on a MySpace page is not exactly a community.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Those in private who are willing to provide me with home addresses to these people, phone numbers, records, websites they run, personal photos, place of employment, etc I want as much information as you can give me.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Translation;<br \/>\nI am a really a lame-o investigator and <a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Cyberstalking\">cyberstalker<\/a> so please do my homework for me and I will show you a crapload of photographs with smoke on them. Help <a href=\"http:\/\/groups.myspace.com\/ParanormalGhostSociety\">Lord Rick<\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Cyberstalking\">cyberstalk<\/a> people pleeeeze!&#8221;<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>I will verify that information so it better be accurate. Dont tell me something I already know!!<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Well sure thing Man God Rick, we must ALL be psychics like you!<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>I already have Odds business, home address and phone numbers.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>&#8220;Translated;<br \/>\n&#8220;I already have <strong>Odd&#8217;s<\/strong> (note the possessive apostrophe dumb-ass,) business address, and phone numbers. I have already <a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Cyberstalking\">cyberstalked<\/a> the publishers of the Empire of the Odd webpage.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Hey thanks Lord Rick! I already know that but it is nice of you to make yet another public declaration.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>I will be looking for the rest!!<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Translation;<br \/>\n&#8220;Lord Rick will be cyberstalking <strong>YOU NEXT<\/strong>!&#8221;<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Also for those experienced in The Matrix get in touch with me. I will give a free lifetime membership to those that produce me these things and if you run a website I will put a banner either up in our sponsors page or our main page which we get about 8 to 10 million hits a year meaning your going to get hits also.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>I have no earthly idea what this is supposed to mean. Experienced in The Matrix? As in the 1999 Wachowski brother&#8217;s flick? Does he think that movie was about real events? (holy crap!)<\/p>\n<p>The other part is pretty hilarious. He doesn&#8217;t even get a fraction of 10 million hits on his web page.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/oddempire.org\/images\/2007\/Rickstats.jpg\">According to data the Omnipotent Mangod Rick put out himself<\/a>, he only gets a few hundred visitors a day on a good week. A hit count registers individual requests not visitors. A web page with a gazillion crazy java applications and scripts will register far more hits than a page that was constructed properly. It can be ten to one or even a hundred to one. (What that means Omnipotent Mangod Rick is that if you get 1000 hits you might have only gotten 10 visitors. That&#8217;s if your page is an incompetent mass of Frontpage 4.0 crap with tons and TONS of useless java scripts, including one that copies stuff from a visitor&#8217;s clipboard. We know that a world-class psychic like yourself HAS NO REASON to spy on visitors.<\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">To sum up; Omnipotent Mangod&#8217;s web page gets an average number of visitors for a badly Google- bombed piece of crap ghost buster page. Around 100 to 200 per day according to his logs. (Remember boys and girls, this is information Rick put out himself.&#8221;)<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/oddempire.org\/images\/2007\/Rickstats.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"538\" height=\"356\" \/><\/p>\n<p>As a matter of fact your trend has flattened out or is actually dropping. The reason it&#8217;s dropping is simple&#8230;&#8230;<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Advertising is something that is priceless so let me help you help me!!! Contact me privately I expect alot of replies and will be answering them throughtout the day thank you for your time. I look forward to our fellowship!<br \/>\nLord Rick<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Translation;<br \/>\n&#8220;Please validate Lord Rick&#8217;s opinion that <a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Cyberstalking\">cyberstalking<\/a> (an illegal act) is OK and he will reward you. If he can get other people to stalk those who think Lord Rick a boob than (somehow) Lord Rick will feel empowered to do more <a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Cyberstalking\">cyberstalking.&#8221;<\/a><\/p>\n<blockquote><p>PS If you need names of the people I want this information on I can tell you but some of you already know the names involved. Some of you also have some information I need so any you can give is very much appreciated as in return I can give you some as well.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Translation;<br \/>\n&#8220;Lord Rick is creating a <a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Cyberstalking\">cyberstalking<\/a> network out of his Paranormal and Ghost Society, one person at a time!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Signed; Lord Rick.<\/p>\n<p>***<\/p>\n<p>In all seriousness;<\/p>\n<p>To say this is a bad idea is an understatement. Lord Rick has clearly crossed a line here. By inciting others to commit illegal activity he has violated several tenets of the free Internet services that he has been using. He&#8217;s also advocating said criminal activity. The word <em>advocating<\/em> for all of you at the Paranormal and Ghost Society means the same as <em>promoting<\/em>&#8230;. liking it so much that he wants you to do it too!.<\/p>\n<p>Acording to <a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Cyberstalking\">http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Cyberstalking <\/a><\/p>\n<blockquote><p>When prosecuted, many stalkers have unsuccessfully attempted to justify their behavior based on their use of public forums, as opposed to direct contact. Once they get a reaction from the victim, they will typically attempt to track or follow the victim&#8217;s internet activity. Classic cyberstalking behavior includes the tracing of the victim&#8217;s IP address in an attempt to verify their home or place of employment. [1]<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>There is no doubt that Lord Rick has done these things to others and now he intends to widen his abuse to his supposed thousands of members. I will be very surprised if more than a handful of people respond to this plea. It&#8217;s like shouting to passersby &#8220;hey! See that Liquor store over there? Help me knock it off and I&#8217;ll give you a lollipop!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>think it would be a very good idea for Lord Rick to pull that statement off of his MySpace account as quickly as he can. Being a buffoon is OK (and I&#8217;m all in favor of it.) Inciting people to commit illegal activities is a little like talking about your illegal drug use in a public forum. It&#8217;s unbelievably stupid &#8212; almost beyond what we expect from Lord Rick.<\/p>\n<p>Stay tuned fun-seekers! More fun and frolic with the Omnipatant Mangod Lord Rick and our happy minions at the Paranormal and Ghost Society to come.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Lord Rick of the Paranormal and Ghost Society made a stunning request today on his paranormal and Ghost Society MySpace page.
