RaceFail: Once More, with Misdirection

Mar 02, 2009 08:50

For the past three weeks or so, I've been forced to contemplate deleting or locking down this livejournal because of harassment and privacy threats I've been receiving as a somewhat bizarre result of RaceFail09.

What's been going on
[quick eta - Kathryn has apparently been redirecting the pages where she outed me to some kind of spammer site that ( Read more... )

She took the post w/your name down livia_llewellyn March 3 2009, 16:12:07 UTC

...and redirected it to some kind of "get rich quick" scammer website.

Ditto one of the other links to her blog (one where she claims that the racism complaints were all about your grudge *eyeroll*).

Re: She took the post w/your name down powderedmilk March 3 2009, 16:38:19 UTC

Actually, she left it up and just changed the URL:

http://www.kathryncramer.com/kathryn_cramer/2009/02/appalled0.html

Wow. That woman really does not want to smell her own shit, does she?

Re: She took the post w/your name down rydra_wong March 3 2009, 17:07:57 UTC

The post is still up on her blog, with a slightly different URL. It's just the original URL for it that redirects to a MAKE MILLIONS FROM HOME!!! site.

Apparently she doesn't like people following the link and seeing what she did.

Apparently she doesn't like people following the link and seeing what she did.

Which is why I'm clicking on that new link as many times as I can...

Here's the SECOND new link livia_llewellyn March 3 2009, 17:12:30 UTC

Good grief, what is the point? I mean, it seems like an awful lot of time and effort on her part to prevent people from following a simple link.

Incidentally, has anyone checked to make sure the scammer site isn't malware-infected or something?

Third link powderedmilk March 3 2009, 17:38:26 UTC

This is fun:

Okay. Serious question. Let us assume that Kathryn Cramer is completely right in both her opinions and actions. (Gedankenexperiment, okay?)

In that case, what is the advantage of constantly changing this link? How does it forward her purpose of expressing her disgust with coffeeandink's behavior?

Or, to put it another way, what's she got to hide? *eg*

Re: And again! spiralsheep March 3 2009, 18:21:36 UTC

The website she's redirecting incoming anti-racist traffic towards is the sort of sitr often infected with malware. Has anyone checked yet?

Re: And again! rydra_wong March 3 2009, 18:27:00 UTC

Yeah, that was my first thought.

I don't know how to check, but I'd suggest that people find the post (should they want to) by going to her blog or checking screencaps rather than following the links and getting re-directed.

Re: And again! jonquil March 3 2009, 18:28:22 UTC

If somebody will remind me what she's linking to, my browser actually has pretty good BADSITES detection.

Whatever it is, she's not hiding it very well, lol.
