Matthew Garrett Denies Being Sock-Puppet Who Makes Jokes About AIDS, Bestiality, and Necrophilia in IRC Chat While Mozilla Pays PR Firms to Monitor Critics.



TV trans person



Matthew Garrett vehemently denies (officially) being “elusive_woman” in TechRights IRC but I have serious doubts.



In addition to “elusive_woman” saying he wants to snort cocaine off of Roy Schestowitz’s wife’s ass and boobs in TechRights IRC, this account has been in IRC making jokes about AIDS, Bestiality, and Necrophilia, and directing them at me.



The person behind the account seems to be mildly annoyed at Roy, but really seems to hate me.



During today’s course of events “elusive_woman”, said that “she” also wanted to do cocaine of of Natalie Portman’s butt.



When I asked “elusive_woman” “Natalie Portman today or Natalie Portman from Star Wars Episode One?”, the response was “Star Wars Episode 1 2 and 3”.



When I informed “elusive_woman” that Natalie Portman was 15 when filming began and that implied lusting after an underage girl’s butt, mjg59_ (Matthew Garrett’s official handle) quickly appeared (after hours of dormancy) and started denying (again) that he was even at home.



Having been “out with friends”.



We call that the “Rahm Emanuel”.



Where were you when it happened?



Answer: “I was at synagogue, of course!”



In addition to all of this filth and garbage the rooms are being spewed with by “elusive_woman”, this handle also accused me of “spreading AIDS” (I do not have HIV) “to other species” and has otherwise continued openly boasting that drugs like meth and crack should be legal and spamming the room with nonsense links to articles about drug legalization.



When the “elusive_woman” handle is saying anything coherent, I have generally observed that in my opinion, it uses the same general writing style as Matthew Garrett, so I personally believe that they are the same person.



Regardless, cracking jokes about necrophilia, AIDS, bestiality, and stating that the handle is interested in minors is a very serious problem for the server and it would be nice if there was some way to get the room back under control.



The person behind the sustained campaign of harassment at TechRights also used some sort of botnet of Windows zombies to log in and out of Mibbit IRC to spam the room with joins and exits the other day. To the point of being extremely annoying, but curiously not enough to crash the server and commit a felony under US law.



Garrett also denied being responsible for this.



Immediately after I posted my last article, Mozilla paid me another visit.



They pay money to an “AI” company to monitor their critics and “figure out how much damage” that post could do to them.



This time it was some outfit called FullIntel Hub.



Apparently, “crisis management” is worth a lot of money to Mozilla lately. I wonder why…



Mozilla spies



FullIntel Hub



It’s amazing that COVID-19 left them “too broke” to pay Gecko developers, but they have an on call disaster response team for me. ⬆
