cybercoma Posted March 19, 2012 Author Report Posted March 19, 2012 Only a hyper-partisan would think any Anti-Liberal CPC ads were meant to effect the Toronto-Danforth election in favour of whatever sacrificial lamb the Tories put into that riding. Unless of course the plan was to get the NDPer elected. I didn't say or imply any of that. It is undoubtedly campaigning and it's being done during the vote in a byelection. You're not allowed to do that for good reason. If you try to rob a bank and your plan is laughably ineffectual, that doesn't make you any less of a bank robber. Quote
Boges Posted March 19, 2012 Report Posted March 19, 2012 As a singular issue...Not that much... As an issue in a long line of shifty things done by the Conservative party?? Well,2015 is a long way off... Yet no one had yet to prove that RoboCall was a Tory conspiracy to surpress democracy have they? Quote
Jack Weber Posted March 19, 2012 Report Posted March 19, 2012 Yet no one had yet to prove that RoboCall was a Tory conspiracy to surpress democracy have they? Other than Dean Del Mastro basically agreeing that something was up in Guelph last Friday? Quote The beatings will continue until morale improves!!!
Boges Posted March 19, 2012 Report Posted March 19, 2012 Other than Dean Del Mastro basically agreeing that something was up in Guelph last Friday? Not a widespread Tory conspiracy. Also in a riding the Tory's got soundly defeated in so whatever they did failed miserably. But these things have been said dozens of times in this gigantic thread. http://amarudontv.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/broken-record-765056.jpg Quote

g_bambino Posted March 19, 2012 Report Posted March 19, 2012 Unless of course the plan was to get the NDPer elected. That would have to be it (whatever the theoretical twisted logic behind it). I live in Toronto-Danforth and (unsurprisingly) it's an ocean of orange right now. Quote
stopstaaron Posted March 20, 2012 Report Posted March 20, 2012 (edited) new info and another fake identity lol http://www.nationalpost.com/m/wp/news/blog.html?b=news.nationalpost.com/2012/03/19/who-is-rick-mcknight-no-one-seems-to-know-who-the-mystery-employee-for-robocall-company-racknine-really-is A key employee of the company that was used to send out the misdirecting robocalls in Guelph on election day appears not to exist under the name he uses online. RackNine, the Edmonton company that suspect “Pierre Poutine” used to send voters to the wrong polling locations, is operated by Edmonton businessman Matt Meier, with the help of Rick McKnight, who is identified variously as head of marketing and web developer. But Postmedia News and the Ottawa Citizen are unable to find anyone who knows McKnight, even though he has a healthy online identity, including 551 Facebook friends, many of them prominent. Meier and his lawyer declined Monday to clear up the case of the mysterious McKnight. click link to read more n see picture Edited March 20, 2012 by stopstaaron Quote Don't ban me bro.

stopstaaron Posted March 20, 2012 Report Posted March 20, 2012 Bump!! Quote Don't ban me bro. Oh behave, I'll behave. I'll be a good little boy.
cybercoma Posted March 20, 2012 Author Report Posted March 20, 2012 Kind of makes you wonder why RackNine was so quick to be litigious. Quote
stopstaaron Posted March 20, 2012 Report Posted March 20, 2012 Kind of makes you wonder why RackNine was so quick to be litigious. I'm starting to think Matt Meir was involved in this from the very beginning.. either that or he absolutely sucks at his job Quote Don't ban me bro. Oh behave, I'll behave. I'll be a good little boy.
madmax Posted March 20, 2012 Report Posted March 20, 2012 And Racknine was about to fall off my radar screen.. It looks like we are going full circle again... Racknine with a mysterious web persona who they won;t disclose because this person appears to be as real as Pierre Pountine.. Quote
cybercoma Posted March 20, 2012 Author Report Posted March 20, 2012 I'm starting to think Matt Meir was involved in this from the very beginning.. either that or he absolutely sucks at his job Undoubtedly. He also needs a new lawyer that doesn't come out with red-flag-raising nonsense like this:“How does one define a real person?” said Matthews in an email. “Would a web-design employee that chooses to use a different name online (which some people seem to do these days) be considered a real person?"

stopstaaron Posted March 20, 2012 Report Posted March 20, 2012 This is also a red flag In an interview, when asked how a reporter could get in touch with McKnight, he said “you don’t,” and hung up. Quote Don't ban me bro. Oh behave, I'll behave. I'll be a good little boy.
Bryan Posted March 20, 2012 Report Posted March 20, 2012 This is also a red flag In an interview, when asked how a reporter could get in touch with McKnight, he said “you don’t,” and hung up. A private citizen working for a private company doesn't want media attention. How is it a red flag? Lots of people don't use use their real names online. Is "stopstaaron" your real name? Quote
stopstaaron Posted March 20, 2012 Report Posted March 20, 2012 A private citizen working for a private company doesn't want media attention. Interesting point. You would have to assume then that he knew he was breaking the law therefore he created another persona for himself otherwise why would this guy believe he was going to attract the media?

You would have to assume you are breaking some law therefore you created another persona for yourself otherwise why would you hide behind a pseudonym? You're trying to change the subject Bryan but I won't let you. You said A private citizen working for a private company doesn't want media attention. I have a question for you to answer. If this guy didn't do anything bad why would he need to hide from the media using an alias? You see, it's quite different when people on forums make up "screen names" because it's not their job. It's something to do when they are bored or just want to discuss issues. However making up an alias and using it for your work is fraud. Edited March 20, 2012 by stopstaaron Quote Don't ban me bro.

Bryan Posted March 20, 2012 Report Posted March 20, 2012 (edited) You're trying to change the subject Bryan but I won't let you. I'm not changing anything, I responded directly to the point you were addressing. You said A private citizen working for a private company doesn't want media attention.I have a question for you to answer. If this guy didn't do anything bad why would he need to hide from the media using an alias? Same reason you're using 'stopstaaron' , he wants to keep his private life private. However making up an alias and using it for your work is fraud. No it isn't. It's done all the time, In some industries it's highly unusual for people to not use a pseudonym. People appreciate their privacy. Edited March 20, 2012 by Bryan Quote

cybercoma Posted March 20, 2012 Author Report Posted March 20, 2012 Same reason you're using 'stopstaaron' , he wants to keep his private life private. Don't be ridiculous. Do you use a pseudonym at work? Quote
Bryan Posted March 20, 2012 Report Posted March 20, 2012 You're telling me you give a fake name to your clients? Depending on the project, sometimes I do. Many of the people I work with ALWAYS use a fake name. It's very common in many industries, especially anything dealing with media, publishing, entertainment, etc. Quote
cybercoma Posted March 20, 2012 Author Report Posted March 20, 2012 (edited) You're telling me you give a fake name to your clients? are you a drug dealer or something? Good point. Maybe he's a stripper or porn star. Edited March 20, 2012 by cybercoma Quote
Bryan Posted March 20, 2012 Report Posted March 20, 2012 Good point. Maybe he's a stripper or porn star. I'm not, but notice it took you less than a minute to think of two jobs where people do regularly use fake names. Now think about all the artists, actors, singers, dancers, musicians, writers, broadcasters, etc in this country. A lot of them use a different name for business. I know several teachers who do the same as well. Quote
