PHOTOSHOP CHALLENGE: We need a chart that makes the relationships of trolls attacking us readily understandable
This is an unusual photoshop challenge — which also appeals to people out there who have great organizational and analytical skills.
For the past few days, you’ve helped us assemble clues as to who is attacking us on the Left. This pertains to the January 20th, 2010 libelous claims made against one of us personally on the site TheBigotBasher.wordpress.com, which gave h/t (hat tips) to places like Rumproast.com and Stupidpumas.com, while Daily Kos and DemocraticUnderground spread these libelous attacks against us, and encouraged their readers to call us, on the individual and personal level, RAAACIST! in as many places as possible.
They outed one of our real names. They used a real photo of one of us. They called that person a racist, knowing full well his current and future employment would be impacted by this charge, and that his personal safety in a city like Chicago would be jeopardized.
The problem with so many clues is that it’s hard to piece the puzzle together to figure out what is going on and who is involved.
Here are threads that have a great deal of clues in them:
Cleveland Plain Dealer Finds More Ellie Lights
What impact does being called a racist have on a private citizen?
Another example of the Left attacking PUMAs
Can Trolls and PUMA Hunters be tracked back to the DNC itself?
Monday Open Thread: January 25th, 2010
Who is Sean O’Sullivan and what websites does he run?
Sunday Open Thread: January 24th, 2010
Saturday Open Thread: January 23rd, 2010
Friday Open Thread: January 22nd, 2010
We need help creating a diagram of what’s been happening, who’s involved, and how this all is tied back to the DNC and Obama White House. That last bit is the hardest nut to crack, but we believe our sleuthing will indeed get there.
Visually, if we can chart out the sites involved and what they did, we can use this as a case study of how these attacks are coordinated and planned, and that’s the first step towards developing an effective counter-punch to use against these goblins in the future.
The chart of everything that’s been happening, and everyone involved, is crucial to our ability to write up a complete report on all this — and that report is needed not just for the litigation against the parties involved, no matter what country they are in, but will also serve as a primer for anyone else out there who is attacked like this.
In short, we can do the legwork, set up the battle plan, and write a chapter in the Anti-Alinsky Playbook so that whenever these attacks happen, people don’t have to keep re-inventing the wheel.
We’d like to collect all clues in this one thread, so anything else you can add about the attackers, please do so in comments here. This way, we won’t have to keep scouring through many threads to get to the meat of what’s needed. It can all be in one place.

UPDATE: Here are more clues:
STUPIDPUMAS Twitter feed has mysteriously disappeared as of 1/25/10. Here’s a link to the Twitter search that shows it existed until recently. Why would this just mysteriously disappear if the people behind StupidPumas weren’t in on the attacks on us?
****
This is the current WHOIS for the site Rumproast.com — it was scrubbed and changed just a few days ago. ANOTHER mysterious coincidence.
The owner of Rumproast is a man in New York named Kevin K*******. We’ll just call him Kevin K.
We have the registration for Rumproast before Kevin K. changed it to private just a few days ago. It looks like this:
XX-XX XX Street #C21
Sunnyside, NY 11104
US
Registrar: DOTSTER
Domain Name: RUMPROAST.COM
Created on: 25-MAR-99
Expires on: 25-MAR-10
Last Updated on: 14-JUL-09
Administrative, Technical Contact:
KXXXXXXX, Kevin
XX-XX XX Street #C21
Sunnyside, NY 11104
US
718-XXX-XXXX
Obviously, we have all the info that’s blanked out as “X” above. We have screenshots of all this in the dossier we are building linking all of these PUMA Hunters together.
They banded together to attack PUMAs…so let them join together as defendants in all things to come.
********
Rumproast.com was h/t (hat tipped) by TheBigotBasher.wordpress.com as the source of the attack against us. In the January 20th post TheBigotBasher.wordpress.com made (which we won’t link to), at the very bottom was the credit given to Rumproast for launching this attack.
********
Kevin K. used to work for a now-defunct dot.com called Hot Socket. His linked-in profile says he works for a large advertising firm. The same one Michelle Malkin identified as being behind the astroturf attacks on Sarah Palin in 2008.
Isn’t that a mysterious coincidence?
********
A lot of times, when Kevin K. writes on the Internet and maligns people, he uses this quote:
Most Certainly,
Kevin R. XXXXXXX

a man who must eat with his nose” — Upton Sinclair (1921)
*********
“TheBigotBasher” appears to be a 39 year old man in England named Sean O’Sullivan, who goes by the name “seanosul” a lot of times on the Internet when he too maligns people
http://digg.com/users/seanosul
http://www.huffingtonpost.com/users/profile/seanosul?action=profile
http://www.reddit.com/user/seanosul
http://www.reddit.com/user/seanosul/submitted/
http://www.idealistnews.com/user/seanosul
http://www.wiichat.com/nintendo-wii-chat/3874-internet-connection.html
Sean O’Sullivan is obsessed with video games, politics, and consoles.
Here he is on some dating websites in the UK, one of which it appears he lies about his age to score with British guys who will be really disappointed when a 39 year old queen shows up when they were expecting a chicken delivery.
http://fy.netlog.com/seanosul/guestbook
Interestingly enough, it appears this guy’s name MIGHT actually legally be Eamonn Sean O’Sullivan, but he (for obvious reasons) goes by “Sean” instead of Eamonn.
We believe that’s why this guy thinks no one can ever find him, because he thinks people don’t know his real name. Well, his real name may very well be Eamonn. Or possibly Rumplestiltskin.
*********
“TheBigotBasher” also posts sometimes as UKforDems on various boards where he maligns and libels people. Here’s where the connection is made between BigotBasher and UKforDems.
When you Google “UKforDems,” you see the name is all over the Democratic Underground, No Quarter, New Agenda— PUMA hunting.
And here’s a “Sean” on Stupidpumas showing his response to people on No Quarter, under the name “UKforDems” http://stupidpumas.wordpress.com/2009/02/02/stupid-puma-physics/ “sean”…ok.
Thus, Sean O’Sullivan (who is probably Eamonn Sean O’Sullivan) goes under the names: bigotbasher, Sean, seanosol, and UKforDems.
******
Here’s more weirdness attacking Darragh Murphy:
http://stupidpumas.wordpress.com/2009/02/05/ur-stupid/
*******
Here’s his YouTube channel: note the Simpsons videos and things related to Hillary Clinton, Harriet Christian (a famous PUMA we love), and PUMAs. Seanosul is obsessed with “The Simpsons” and writes about them frequently all around the Internets.
*******
*******
Here’s Seanosul writing asking questions about Depression.
*******
Apparently, Seanosul works for the British Government. We wonder if they know what he is up to all day.
Sean O’Sullivan says his job title is: “Benefits Consultant, Independent Local Authority Contractor, West Midlands” which makes sense because he described that kind of work on his windows live blog, and it’s his county. I don’t know, it sounds like social work/ government job/ welfare social worker sort of.
*******
*******
Here he is saying Republicans have Asperger’s.
*******
More on Seanosul:

**********
Here’s where Seanosul talks about how much he hates lesbians:
**********
Sean’s birthday is January 13th.
He was from midlands area of England, lived in Brum (short for Birmingham).
*********
On January 25th, Kevin K. from Rumproast started scrubbing as much of his information off the Internets as possible. We took screengrabs of all of this before he could delete it all.
*********
Kevin K. once used the names “Tooney Bin” and “Balloon Juice” on the Internets.
*********
UPDATE: 1/27/10:
We’re asking all PUMA sites that were ever attacked by TheBigotBasher or any of his cohorts who post at places like Stupidpumas, BettyCracker, Daily Kos, Rumproast, and other sites to share the information they have on these people.
Here’s more that we found today on TheBigotBasher. This guys uses many different email addresses and posts under many names. We’re starting to be able to match his IP address used to attack people, libel them, and harass them on multiple boards. The same addresses keep popping up, with all roads leading back to TheBigotBasher.
UKforDems
92.2XX.XXX.19
bildo@yahoo.co.uk
98.XX.XXX.XX9
90.XX.XXX.84
ukchap@bugmenot.com
UPDATE: 1/27/10
Here are some quotes:
“Show up at his house”
“bloody his nose”
“find out where he lives and teach him a lesson”
It goes on and on and on.
The MO on these attacks is this:
(1) BigotBasher posts more racist slurs against us on his site on WordPress
(2) Daily Kos then picks up that post and get its members to encourage people in Chicago to find us, beat us, bloody our noses, and ultimately kill us
(3) Next, DemocraticUnderground and the rest run the Kos post, reporting it as news and fact
(4) The Left, thus, has activated its troll and goon squads to commit physical violence against those it has targeted
This has been going on every day since January 20th, the one year anniversary of the beginning of “The Golden Age of Hope and Change”

I look forward to your comments. Please follow these simple guidelines:
- Please do not complain about your comment not yet showing up
- Stay on topic of the article ("This is OT, but..." = bad!)
- I will STING if you troll, spam, bait, swear or attack someone
I suggest researching the FCC Czar that loves chevez
I’ll get to work on this tomorrow (I really need to get to bed tonight). But I’ll work on what I can, and try to have something to you tomorrow evening or the day after. I’m sure someone else will be finished before me, but maybe all our work can get this solidly done for you. ^__^
If you have any connections to police detectives, they would have enormous skills in this area.
I hope you guys are also burning CDs of all the info you are collecting (also the whole blog) and mailing them to a friend out of state, or taking them every day to a safe deposit box in your bank.
All the online info, screenshots, photos of index cards – everything.
Also make 2-3 duplicate CDs of each – they’re cheap, and they aren’t that reliable as storage devices, but for the purpose of saving everything in a safe place for a year or so they’ll be fine.
You may also want to check into “mind mapping” and project management software–both are created to pull a lot of disparate bits of data together in one coherent overview. There are probably open source (i.e. free) versions of both out there.
You guys are badasses. Can you imagine how bad Eamonn Sean O’Sullivan is shakin in his boots right now?! I mean, you found his Ebay page! I freakin love it.
I have no Photoshop skills, but I can certainly try my hand at some sort of chart. That someone could then perhaps turn into a photoshop. I’ll give it a go tomorrow.
What I love the most about this article, the links to past discussions, right in front.
Is it possible to do that on the front page, by month, so I do not have to click on months or whatever????:)
About the chart, I think I will ask Sarah to do this tomorrow at work–and she loves sleuthing!

“Here he is on some dating websites in the UK…”
Classic.
Did he edit the first link? The content looks like it’s written in Cymraeg.
I hate those jerks. they are liars, and just nasty. I am gathering the IP and info from our site, and will send it to you when i get it.
Hey how you doing?
I was interested to see he UKdem was part of this.makes perfect sense after reading his posts.
So NOW HE is saying, or whining he is being bullied? just wow
FYI…maybe needs to be added to chart – especially because of the Kos tie ins….
“Ellie Light Is Winston Steward”
“Looks like Joseph D. was spot on. Winston Steward is a Kos Kiddie….
One interesting fact that ties into observations made by Dan Riehl over the weekend: the first friend on Winston’s Twitter account is the president of a Washington, D.C. public relations firm…..
It all started with a tip to Dan Riehl and me from LeftCoastRebel. Let me turn over the mike to Dan Riehl, who told us Sunday:
If information I’ve been given is correct, there is circumstantial evidence linking now infamous letter writer Ellie Light to an international public relations firm involved with the White House in helping to promote health care reform….
