    My take on it is that the girl in the IT article was accused, denied it, and then this Jason Kidd guy posted up lots of stuff to his Instagram page as "proof" it actually is her. If you take what he's posted at face value, it's hard to disagree that it isn't her.

    I'm just waiting for the next bombshell.

    BU said they were sent that screenshot with the sunflower profile pic by someone and posted it up, that is where the confusion is apparently.

    It's not just the White Moose guys who have proof (lest anyone be inclined to write that off just because they're a pair of attention-grabbing tosspots), there's a couple of screenshots doing the rounds with definitive proof, and not just the hastily-deleted one which people here were trying to say only proved that RT had submitted stuff to the page.

    JK also had in insta a conversation with an unknown person and Santa Paws - who is RT (proof of that on Insta) - they are discussing that a 'Lindsay' knows its her and discussing what proof she might have.

    Why would she pull the plug because of a little heat from some crackpots?

    I think this is referring to Mermaid Jade who is an admin on Mas who drink

    I feel like I saw a different page to a lot of you. I always saw nasty undertones to the BU account They could never just post facts, always had to get snide little digs in too and it got worse and worse as they performed to their ever growing audience. It was obvious that they saw the attention bull****callerouter got and wanted a bit of that themselves, it was never anything to do with wanting to help people see what bloggers were doing and everything to do with putting bloggers in their place.

    I also thought everyone was just pretending not to know who BU was. It certainly didn't take rocket science to connect the dots, sure they didn't even attempt to change their posting style across various media. As for people expecting bloggers to take some kind of high ground in all this, the (alleged)person behind BU spent years of their life spewing vileness about said bloggers long before BU became a thing, years ripping into every little thing they did and you want them to pretend like none of that happened now?

    When you spend years of your life being rotten to pretty much every section of society across the internet you aren't going to make friends and can't be surprised when people are less than sympathetic when the full extent of your actions come to light.

    :rolleyes:
    Really?

    It may not have been hard to figure out if you follow so many of them, but I don't see how you thought everyone was just pretending..

    Ok, anyone who uses forums. I was talking about everyone here and the various other forums they posted on, I should have been more specific sorry.

    mod removed original post

    I haven't looked back over LOR's posts, but the other name Shoes doesn't sound too upset when bull****callerouter was mentioned here for one of the first times. Everyone seems to agree that is what is needed (at the time).

    I don't think it matters that she is outed, she'll just need to approach things differently. She has a talent - maybe with a lot of negativity attached, but if she was going to single out anyone, she seems to have chosen the right ones (most of the time).

    If she take some time away, and comes back in a week, now that everyone knows who she is, it could be beneficial. It may not be. She could aim at another market.

    No matter if she was "bullying" (a word that has lost all meaning to me), I prefer that many of the people being called out, were being called out for the reasons that they were.
    I am useless at judging of someone is nice or not, so I don't really care too much about their online persona. If they are trying to con/fleece people, then they are game for the shooter.

    What was her talent? The ability to re post what people sent her?

    You might not care about online personas but the people she has spent years bad mouthing(not just bloggers, many regular Joes were at the end of her trolling) do care and can you blame them?

    I’m totally lost.

    I never really got a bitchy vibe from BU.

    It is amusing to watch grown adults behave the way some are the past few days.

    Not at all surprised RMC has thrown her hat in the commentary ring either.

    These people need to get off their laptops and have a chat with themselves, a bunch of people on the wrong side of thirty celebrating... kinda grim life for all involved that is bizarrely reminiscent of how pre secondary school would act.

    RMC/WMC are all equally as toxic

    I definitely thought the page was getting increasingly bitchier!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 4,012 ✭✭✭stop animal cruelty


    JK posted a screenshot of Shoesdays or sundaysshoes *something can't remember the user name* but they had posted a thread here, a good few months back, asking if it possible to track/link back a blog thingy to the person who set it up (along those lines) ie. BU on Instagram.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 941 ✭✭✭Typer Monkey


    There was a section of the last word dedicated to this and it's featured on the various radio stations news headlines all day..peak madness! :confused::D

    Especially aimed at So Sue Me, I got the impression BU personally didnt like her.

    I am referring solely to the BU account, not the years before.

    What were the years before? Was there a different bloggers unveiled type account?

    I disagree, there was only one page post about her in recent times. The rest seemed to be shown in stories, mostly of the gloopy tan.
    I think the worst part (for bloggers) was the comment section so posting in stories saved Sue from that.

    I’m confused by people saying RT catfished/trolled etc. Where?

    No, just the girl who is allegedly behind it badmouthed or berated bloggers she didn't like.

    She started on Bebo apparently, she got up to a lot on Facebook groups too - the Mas who drink...


    Apparently she trained in 'Brawl Hall' lol - a website to practice trolling - there are screenshots doing the roads!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,279 ✭✭✭Trigger Happy


    Looks like a parody account has already been set up.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,962 ✭✭✭r93kaey5p2izun

    Google her name and you will see. There has for years been a blog that called this girl out as a troll and catfish.

    I can't see anything??


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 524 ✭✭✭Telly


    I wouldn’t call her a troll. She gave her opinions and some weren’t very savory but I wouldn’t call that trolling. As for pretending to be someone else when she was a teen? Isn’t that what all teens do? I just find it very hard to see what she did in the past = all the shít she has got the last week or so.

    Is that the "JessIsFake" blog? All the original screenshots from 2010 are long since deleted.

    And the people who felt bullied on Facebook groups?
