LINK SEVERED
Jeremy Sear links to Grods in happier times: "Grods Corp (Scott Bridges and others - sometimes including me)"
After the upheaval: "Grods Corp (Scott Bridges and others)"
Update: With only one authored post over the past four days at Pure Poison it looks like the boyz might have done their dash. Grodster Bridgit Gread lays blame:
I agree that it's too fixated on Bolt and Jeremy drives that.Just a bit of constructive criticism from a friend.

Oh, and half your links don't even work. Who reads 'the currency lad' any more.
Yes, the link is still there but the wording has changed with Jeremy no longer claiming to write at Grods.
Exciting stuff, Becky. You think maybe he no longer writes at Grods?
Don't know; don't care, but some people will. You for one.
This is of concern. The blogosphere requires a certain amount of fuckwittery so that it may achieve balance.
So stop getting involved in trivialities and go comment about issues that matter.
It looks like Jeremy is the only one to be severing links: the Grods lot still have him as a sometimes contributor on their About page.
Beck posts 7.13 and within 30 mins some sad sack dribbles his attack on it. It's not that the blogs would miss them if they all just stopped blogging, Margo, it's that they would lose all reason to live.
With friends like you, Gread, who needs enemies?
cosmic, it's painful visiting here and being flayed by Beck's vacuous rejoinders and the frog chorus of his anonymites. It's like diving into a vat of angry cotton wool.
Where am I complaining, Iain? While there are Google-happy Scotch-posting housebound weirdos like you floating around, then there'll always be people who can do nothing else but post anonymously.
ARIII, I see it's sundown and someone has unlatched your coffin. And you've begun by providing a comprehensive outline of what I'm 'for' and 'against', though much of it you've gotten utterly and hopelessly wrong. Then again, I don't think there is anyone among your crowd who doesn't regularly behave this way.
Careful guys, make Gread any crankier and she'll revert to the "defamatory imputation" fall-back bullshit.
Is that defamatory imputation as in suggesting that a female Olympic swimmer is actually a male drug cheat?
Bridgit, I have to give you credit. If I were a liar, fraud and hypocrite like you I'd not move on to racism. People might think less of you.
Yeah an alis is really different.
I guess I could always post anonymously and, like, absolve myself from responsibility for what I say.
Well done Bridgit, a feminist who tells men to stick their hands down a woman's pants to see if she is a drug taking transvestite. How envious you all are. Judging by your photos, I no longer wonder why.
alias*
Do you even know what an alias is?
Anyway, nice fun playing but dinner is beckoning - we're having rib eye with caramelised balsamic onions, good leftist fare. Ciao.
Bridgit, you are a thug and a liar. Get used to that fact.
Got one right now, Bridgit. Lucky it's only superficial.
Bridgit is, like most of the Grodsters, a try-hard thug.
And Beck is just a try-hard Blair.
Bridgit. You really need a values check. It is not progressive to use terms for sex workers as an insult. It is not progressive to be critical of families who role swap. It is not progessive to use migrant as an insult. Notice that neither Blair nor Bolt would ever make statements like that? That's because the left don't have a monopoly on progressive values.
Bridgit has no values, well no fixed values anyway.
As best as I can recall that allegation was made by 'Bourbon Boy', Iain's own pet stalker, whose blog is now closed. I've never seen any evidence that Iain has any kind of criminal record, nor have I claimed that he has.
Bridgit, you and your friends making sexist assumptions does not make Iain a liar.
I knew your dishonesty would come to haunt you Bridgit.
Fair go, it's not like I've pretended by a lawyer - or done anything I've had to appologise (sic) for...
I just read through Hall's link. Bridgit, or whatever you name is, you are a complete psychopath. You are actually scary.
Like I said, psychopath.
Yeah, look out fake-lawyer, I might come after you next, Wolf Creek-style. You'd make a good head-on-a-stick.
Betcha every single reader of this thread has changed and strengthened his passwords.
Sorry, I don't get the fake lawyer reference?
Too late for you, Beck, my Romanian associates and I have already cracked your password ('hornyloewey02', nice touch).
Bridgit, I wouldn't joke about that stuff. Seeing that your email chain with Iain appears to confirm that one of your more marxist commentators hacked into Iain's email and stole information. And yet he appears to still be welcome to post comments on your blog and your friends blogs. So really, not something to joke about.
I see we've moved from "someone hacked Iain's e-mail" to "Bridgit and Jeremy were involved in the hacking of Iain's e-mail". What exactly is your evidence for these potentially defamatory allegations?
I wonder how THR squares hacking people's accounts (if true) with his claimed marxist ethics?
Whereas you, Iain, are as pure as the driven slush.
Measuring oneself against a Nazi blogger? Bridgit you shouldn't set your standards so high.
You're right - the Nazi blogger was only Iain.
our = your
No Bridgit the bigger question is why are you still whining about something you so often claimed not to care about.
The fact of the matter, Iain, is that you continued to shoot barbs at us on your blog, either by name or implication with your constant reference to "latte-sippers", "cat-lovers", etc. Yet you're not man enough to allow us a right of reply by maintaining an open commenting policy - as Beck does here and as we do at Grods.
Maybe you are right Bridgit "pathological liars" can't help themselves you could tell the truth but chose not to, which is somewhat worse.
Hey, Bridgit. Looking at the ED article. What do you think about the smears there on Hall for working from home and looking after children (calling him Mrs Hallfire). How sexist would you have to be to criticise a family on the basis that the wife works and the husband looks after the children. Do you know who wrote the article? If so, are they that sexist normally?
Sadly No I didn't Lattecat, but I think that he need some serious psychiatric help.
To save you a long search Lattecat she is referring to this postand You should take note of the fact that this is one of the threads where she is pretending to be a man posting as "Mark L"
So do I, except for all the parts that are established as fact.
Bridgit how is any of that stuff illegal, but for the stunt that your cronies pulled in relation to Iain's email account. There is no justification ever, under any moral, ethical or legal code for either going into his account or making references to anything anyone found there. Don't try to change the subject.
Er, Hall hacked the accounts of one 'Janine Aussie' some time ago.
Who? If true, that's wrong too. That doesn't excuse anything, and you know it.
Also, Bridgit ignores the "Beck is a stalker" nonsense promulgated by Grodsters.
Thanks Beck at 5.35, it's good to remember how nasty some of the PP/grods group can be. No wonder we havenakt seen much from Ant since.
Why am I not surprised that the allegation against Iain was false? What is with this moral equivalence, anyway? This is the type of argument that leads to a person defending the Soviet invasion of Hungary on the grounds that the Americans did something similar to some unspecified country at some unspecified point in time.
Give up Bridgit. The problem with being dishonest is that you get a reputation for it after a while. I don't know why Ian Hall would think you could commit to any agreement. He would need to rely on your word and we know what that is worth.
Iain, make it a matching set and unlock 'Flame War Chronicle' so the good folks here can read your handiwork!
Why would Hall be "cracked" Bridgit? He isn't the member of a gang of cyberstalkers, unlike some.
"Bridgit and others have ignored Hall for months at a time. The favour has never been reciprocated."
Come off it. Not a week goes by on Grods without some mention of Iain (whether directly or by one of the nicknames you have for him). ED is always up and is often referred to by people on or associated with Grods (look at the way Randombrainwave changed the link to Iain's comment to that page). Seriously, no way can you claim the moral high-ground for one side.
I tell you what Bridgit, the day that you and your cronies take down the ED page,and get Scott to archive all of the posts about me at Grods is the day that I will believe that you are genuinely putting the long winded feud to bed forever. Until then I have no reason whatsoever to believe anything that you say when you suggest that you want to put all of this business behind you.
OK, so we have the first steps. Bridgit, are you willing to have the ED page come down?
I don't negotiate with cyberstalkers.
Gread has already indicated that the ED page isn't hers. Hall is well aware of this, and so by making an impossible request, he is trying to continue the blog war.
"Gread has already indicated that the ED page isn't hers. Hall is well aware of this, and so by making an impossible request, he is trying to continue the blog war."
The request, originally, came from me, not Hall. The ED page might not be hers, but I'm sure she knows who wrote it (or someone else on Grods will know it).
Again, though, who are you? You sounnd like you have a personal stake in this. Let Bridgit talk for herself.
@9.22
Latte cat's suggestion of seeking higher moral ground is directed at Bridgit and her cronies, frankly although I don't claim any moral perfection but in the light of my "good behaviour" and lack of good faith from my critics that I am entitled to expect some real concessions before I make any changes myself.
Can someone please explain to me the 'moral high ground' of gang cyberstalking?
Just await Bridgit's response Latte. She will either ignore, deny ability or refuse.
She isn't reasonable.
How do you know Bourbon Boy is not part of Grods?
Blessed are the Cheesemakers...
Thank you for proving me right Bridgit.
Latte, you can't make a moral appeal to the dishonest.
I for one applaud the good work of this 'Fang' chap, in educating society about the perils of blogging. I do believe, however, that the ED site should be taken down. This should occur after Mr Hall has been thoroughly rehabilitated, and has demonstrated that he no longer poses a risk to the blogging community.
Well since you aren't willing to actively condemn people who portray others as Nazis, I assumed that you were OK with it...
Ah, Tito. Don't you see that your comments just make Bridgit look bad? You are not helping. With friends like you, why does Bridgit need enemies?
Does anyone that they've decided to bully him and that nothing at all is going to stop them? It certainly reminds me of some vicious schoolyard bullying
Before I respond Royston, are you prepared to concede Bridgit does more that make fun of Hall at Grods?
Hey "David Tan", Ive seen your name somewhere before. Usually with the word 'dickhead' attached.
I wouldnt stick their picture up on my blog or send emails to their employer. Only a weirdo would do that.
More sock puppets Bridgit?
Man you are seriously obsessed with Bridgit, you need to get out and get yourself a REAL woman dude.
What is it with teh left and sockpuppets?
We know that Ian Hall would never resort to using sockpuppets.
Hey Bridgit. Nice friends you have here. Immediately starting with sexist or homophobic insults. How progressive. I also like the implied threats of being added to ED. Bridgit, your friends are a credit to you. Lattecat
ARIII
I tend to agree that Jeremy has more sense than to be directly involved, he alone amongst this clique actually has something to lose should he be involved in their criminality. and as he himself has had his blogs hacked I think that he is acutely aware just how distressing such a crime actually is top the victim.But I think that the Grods crowd are just like a mob of children who won't grow up and "Royston's" tantie here just proves it.
Iain if you think the Grods crowd are a mob of children then you should be careful about sending them scotch which is supplying alcohol to minors.
Can't answer my questions eh "royston", well that is typical.
"Royston". In order to avoid allegations that you are sockpuppetting. You might want to answer some of the questions that Iain asked you before. Particularly, what stake do you have in this?
The (cyberstalking) gang is all here.
Please tell us Catweezle which of the grods crew did approve of hacking Hall's accounts?
Sorry if I suspected your honesty Bridgit. You do have a long history of fraud and dealing in stolen property. It is good that you have a new nom de web though.
Royston, you were quite happy for Iain to have his full name on this blog. Give us your full name then so we can independently verify that Royston is your given name and I will withdraw my comment happily and apologise for the allegation.
And how did you come by this stolen information Royston?
Royston, no-ones suggested that Bridgit was the hacker. She herself has fingered "THR". We have no reason to doubt her, seeing that she used the information that was found. However, she could of course be wrong as to who did it. Certainly if she is wrong, if I were THR, I'd be having words with her.
Will it surprise anyone that my position is now that the net's easy anonymity is not such a good thing?
"I'm neither Bridgit nor Royston."
Well, seeing that I've not suggested that you are Bridgit, I'm not surprised. It seems odd that you two suddenly get involved at exactly the same time. One wonders why you hide behind a new screen-name? If you are someone who has a stake in it, surely you could tell us who you are (not your real name, obviously, just what screenname you go by normally)?
Catweezle
lets go through who is in the photos shall we?
John Surname, who's photo has been published at least once at Grods, Keri James who has her own photos available through a link on her own blog and Scott Bridges who has also published his picture many times.
So the only thing that is "new" is the fact that the photos are not that flattering, as happy snaps often are.
Now despite that post being up for weeks I have not heard a squeak of complaint from Bridges who posted them in the first place. I wonder why?
Oh at Latte cat is not asking for you real name , just the nick you usually post as.
The inclusion of Bridges and Keri was actually incidental to the post which was to show how Gormless Surname was for making a defence of the indefensible Chaser sketch, the fact that Bridges looks like a stunned mullet was a bonus
Wow, such big words. Bridgit, is a feminist. How do she square her friends using components of female anatomy as an insult? As a feminist does it bother her? Or does she feel powerless to stop them?
Right-wingers believe in personal responsibility. How does every right-wing piss-stain feel about being anonymous on the net? How do they square it with their values?!?1!>?
I think we are taking personal responsibility by protecting ourselves from cyberstalkers like Bridgit Gread and her sock puppets.
Bridgit, there is a campaign and you know it. Just look at Grods for evidence. I don't what qs of catweezle I've not answered, but list them and I'll have a go. Lattecat
BG, don't be silly. You know it goes past laughs, look at the Giggles bros here or the illegal email access idiocy. The best advice we can give you is drop it, leave Iain be and don't associate with anyone trying to keep it going. LC
When and where, ARIII. I'd like to see you support your wild conspiracies with some evidence.
OK Iain, don't hurt yourself. I think I'll go into town for a couple of lattes and an organic tofu and hummus felafel while I read The Age.
