Beware of Troll Alert!

In a poor atttempt to disrupt not only the rec.photo.equipment and rec.photo.
digital groups (yet again) - and now posting on other usenet groups falsely
under my name - the troll has now chosen me as a target of its non-life.

Please be advised that the threads:

" Stolen images by Lewis Lang - What should I do?"

and

" Lewis Lang STOLE my images, What shall I do?"

" Drug-addict Rich Posiadlik of Portage Indiana is a junkie"

"Dallas Dahms is a racist, Mall Photographer"

and any other similarly claimed inflamatory/bigoted thread titles

as well as any questions being falsely asked in my name to rec.crafts and other
types of usenet groups are _not_ coming from me, Lewis Lang, but are
_prefabricated lies_ and _false accusations_ and/or phony (though seemingly
real/on topic) questions made by the "troll" (troublemaker who makes
lies/libel/etc. because he/it has no life) against me, Lewis Lang and/or
falsely posted as being from me or someone else, I, Lewis Lang, have not made
them.

PLEASE DO NOT RESPOND TO THESE TROLLING POSTS AS THEY BOTH CLOG UP THE
NEWSGROUP(S) AND/OR THE RESPONSES END UP BEING CROSS-POSTED TO OTHER NEWSGROUPS
AS OFF-TOPIC REPLIES/RESPONSES AND CLOG THOSE NEWSGROUPS UP.

Do not suggest it needs to get a lawyer because I never stole his/its images,
nor does it even have any proof because it doesn't need proof to make a
lie/false accusation, nor will it supply any. Nor does he/it even have a
real/true identity (it posts masquerading as various people/under false names
from the anonymity of "googlegroups".

PLEASE LOOK BEYOND THE FALSE "FROM" LINE AND LOOK AT THE HEADERS OF THE POSTS
TO SEE WHERE THE POSTS REALLY COME FROM UNDER THE SECTIONS CALLED
"X-complaints" AND "X-trace" - MY/LEWIS LANG'S POSTS COME FROM THE AOL DOMAIN,
THE TROLL'S POSTS COME FROM GOOGLEGROUPS OR SOME OTHER DOMAIN.

Don't respond to its racist/etc. libel done in my name or under the name of any
other poster. It (the troll) is a liar and a thief that tries to childishly and
very poorly imitate other's identities. These trolling posts are not from the
authors it supposedly mimicks but from some cowardly moron with no life trying
to hide beneath the rock of anonymity it partially crawled out from under.

Don't respond to its lies by suggesting it get a lawyer as no theft has taken
place. Its just saying lies about me/libeling to cause trouble. You are being
had by a liar and a defamer (the troll).

Don't respond to its questions on other (non-photographic) topics as the
replies will be cross-posted off topic onto other newsgroups.

However, anybody who has ideas for lawyers that I can use to prosecute this
pond scum troll who is posting falsely under my name would be most welcome,
though ;-).

Alternatively (and/or in addition) I would appreciate suggestions for finding
out this troll's true identity (beyond its false names it gives and the
anonymity of the googlegroups source it posts from) so I can consider
prosecution for defamation of character and libel against me, Lewis Lang. For
all regulars, please feel free to killfile the threads mentioned above and/or
its troll author rather than complain to me that you don't like me defending
myself against the lies of this troll.

Suggestions about prosecution of the troll can be sent to the real Lewis Lang,
by "pinging" me on the real newsgroup I mostly participate on - rec.
photo.equipment.35mm. Only suggestions from real internet domains will be
entertained (as the troll has falsely posted both from googlegroups, hotmail
and other phony addresses).

Thank you very much for your kind help and understanding.

Geeze, give it a rest, will ya?

Anybody who has been here any time knows/can recognize that it is a
troll. Newbies won't matter, and if they stick around they will see all
the troll posts and figure it out.

Heed you own words, either find an internet savy attorney to handle it
or grow up, ignore it and move on. If you want to keep chasing the
little ball every time the troll throws it, then you are welcome to play
with him/it/her in my twitfile.

No.

troll.

Tell that to the non-troll respodants.

Newbies won't matter, and if they stick around they will see all

Who are you to say who matters and why?

Heed you own words, either find an internet savy attorney to handle it
or grow up, ignore it and move on.

No attorny suggestions? Then grow up yourself and mind your own business not
mine and switch on the filters instead of whining.

Good, now get lost.

with him/it/her in my twitfile.

Heed my words. Use your filters. Better yet go anonymously meow at the troll in
my bit/twit pile file...

P*L*O*N*K!

Wouldn't that result in *your* messages being kill-filed?
The troll only sends a few impersonated messages, which is sad enough,
but the sheer volume of your reactions poses a much greater bandwidth
issue.

Don't get me wrong, the troll is a lowlife with nothing better to do
than attempting to hurt your character and disrupt a few newsgroups.
It apparently gives him a feeling of power he totally lacks in real
life:

But your approach is not very productive IMHO. It is much more
efficient to change a discussion into something constructive, thus
ignoring the intended disruption and leaving the troll as
insignificant as he is in real life.

You've posted this several tmes already.
And you respond with posts over 100 lines long (for somereasson
including all headers) too many times to count.

No wonder you're being targeted; you're an idiot!

Heh. You're the idiot who has cross posted dozens of your whining
messages.

And no, it's obvious that you don't need an attorney...you need a
shrink, ya' freakin' nut case.
