One could claim in their defiance that they are behind it "The lady doth protest too much, methinks", but I'm not convinced. Do they know who it is? Again, I am fairly sure they do not, but I would not be overly shocked if it turned out to be someone who they knew.
That is a very good summary of the situation Markus, and I think you have us both bang right, there. You might recall that lightning101 was the first to be accused, but when he chose not to comment further or protest his innocence, then focus was switched to me and Tel; which says to me that a great proportion of the anonymous comments were posted by the blogger(s) themselves as a smokescreen. Also, nobody pointed out the obvious, that if it was our handiwork, then it would have been foolish to allow comments "outing" us to stand for all to see.

This is the first interesting thread I've seen for about 18 months and I can't access the chuffing subject matter.

The double bluff method


The "problem" is/was that webclown pissed that many people off (or maybe it was 1 person with many usernames? who knows )
It could have been any number of people, as a rather large amount of people featured in policy tend to think the man was a **** merchant of the highest order

No doubt something else will pop back up, maybe the blog is down with a server crash or something?

Doubt it's a server crash. Blogger is large and you'd probably get a "server not responding" error, rather than it saying the blog cannot be found.

I'd say the writers have pulled it as they want to stop people viewing / copying the posts and comments as this might give an inkling of whom they are, and/or they are worried someone is getting a little too close to finding out and then publicly revealing who they are/were.

They might post on here, but I doubt they will, as unless they play the stealth troll card for a while and I don't think they could be that patient, they'd want to start having a pop at people as soon as possible, then they'd be banned fairly quickly.

The blog may come back, or another one might well appear, I don't see them hiding in the shadows and saying nothing. As said, they are attention seekers.
Way off the mark. CW wasn't really publicised so saying he/she/they crave the attention is totally wrong. Whoever it was had a great talent for summing up the people he/she/they observed. (with a few slight exceptions).

The blog was about for some time before the masses got wind of it. If attention was the aim then a link on SN from day 1 would have been available.

The thing that spoilt it was the comments. There were nasty on the whole and detracted from the talent. The Blog itself was, as said, bang on the button, with a few exceptions.

Has it been reported for abuse? It has disappeared before too.

Who it is appears to bother me less than most. Whoever it is doesnt seem to pay too much attention though, which rules out many of the proposed candidates.

Best thread for ages.

The culprits are now known and closed the blog in blind panic. Will they admit it before being named?

I think you may find it was pulled a little to late to keep the cloak of invisibility a garment worth wearing

I care so little about looking into this that I can't even be bothered reading through the previous page's posts.

If someone could just name them all for me that would be great.

I'd like to think it was a clever trick by Stu @ Internet Brands to drum up traffic to SN, to get people posting again and generate some interest in the place.

Though that's probably just wishful thinking.
