[Posted September 19, 2013 ] Olive was my fourth and last name profile on Topix. It was banned without warning or explanation after a long, long period of being heavily trolled on the forum. Topix was mad, mad, mad at me and from the beginning, the way they showed this was by copious enabled, tolerated trolling. They gave over their entire main forum to it, at one point. Sexual harassment is common there, very, as a method of their trolling, just one sample: Olive has Jowls wrote: O My god this must be the Dike thread headed up by the …

[Posted July 26, 2013] The tying in of my fate with the NSA, came in November of 2010, when comments were posted to my first Open Salon post Something way funky is going on over at Topix. com. I wrote up the warnings of the NSA being given the user’s personal data of all who visited Topix’s forums. Is Topix giving out users personal data to the NSA? I was extremely heavily trolled on Topix over the post, ignored by the many media outlets I tried to contact. I never wrote up Howard’s allegations about Wikileaks, but apparently, they saw …

[Posted July 20, 2013 ] ¬ What is objectionable, what is dangerous about extremists is not that they are extreme, but that they are intolerant. The evil is not what they say about their cause, but what they say about their opponents. – John F. Kennedy There is so much racism all over Topix. The African-American forum is loaded with it, but is just one forum on Topix that houses racism: Topix African-American Forum Racism is a toxin that corrodes the fabric of our common humanity. Its destructive and violent, it leads to and encourages physical violence. It erases empathy, …

[Posted July 15, 2013 ] I have known a vast quantity of nonsense talked about bad men not looking you in the face. Don’t trust that conventional idea. Dishonesty will stare honesty out of countenance any day in the week, if there is anything to be got by it. – Charles Dickens Oh the tangled plots we weave, when we plot to deceive. ¬ Chris Tolles who has clobbered away at me for years for my Nov. 2010 NSA post, rather his trolls have, the man has not once addressed a single question I have raised, well, except undercover as …

[Published February 11, 2013] In a display of hari kari, Topix has allowed their corporate-favored trolls to try and blow up their own Internet Troll forum and chase off many of the regular posters. They have waged a long troll battle on Internet Troll against myself and others, that has so escalated, it has almost consumed, the entire forum. There have been so many bannings, of those who fought back, such injust moderation, such an assault on their own posters. This has been admitted, by their corporate troll, who was livid when my Op-Ed was published by the Silicon Valley …

Eight years ago, in 2006, Chris Tolles wrote this Topix blog post about newspapers and their changing role in today’s media: What do newspapers do????

[Posted May 1, 2012 ] ¬ My Topix experiences have made me aware like few others, of what it is like to lose internet privacy. It is not something that should happen to anyone. Cyber intelligence sharing and protection act??? Protection? Where IS the protection, for Americans? Not in this bill. This bill is not about protection, it is about making spying legal. It is about making censorship legal. It is adding to the harm online. People need to be much better protected, their safety ensured. Internet privacy rights are a must.
