Backstabbing the Hyena

[pyesetz]

Thread 1: Dave S. posts often to alt.lifestyle.furry and uses many names: "Dave the Dancing Hyena", "Dave the Rotating Hyena", "Dave the Emperor Palatine Hyena", etc. In this post (on 14-April-2004), I referred to him as "Dave the <adjective> Hyena".

Thread 2: I was told that this topic is an example of how mean the EatAwlFurrees people are. But it didn't seem as mean as I expected, so I looked elsewhere on that site and found some posts by a guy named "Dave the adjective". Is that a coincidence?

Merge: "Dave the adjective" has been a member of EAF since 18-April-2004, the same day that "Dave the Hatfull Hyena" posted a link to EAF on a.l.f. Like Dave the Hyena, "Dave the adjective" is British, thinks Karl Marx is a positive character, and likes snappish comments. Is it really the same person behind both 'nyms? Who cares? This is just idle gossip!

*edit* Still, I like to think that he has adopted a name I gave him.

uh-oh! better be careful! the Adjective is an avid reader of lj!

Thanks for writing! I'm still trying to learn how to do this "trolling" thing. Note the garish, attention-grabbing typography. Unlike the bit about SwiftFox that Mr. Adjective recently posted to a.l.f., I don't think there's really any meat here for him to reply to.

Oh, Rottensocks the Witless Vagrant has a Livejournal (http://www.livejournal.com/userinfo.bml?user=vargr_moon)!

But wait up! What's this!? He's removed all his posts in case someone starts trolling him! Ho ho ho, I guess someone can dish it out but he can't take it!

*shrugs* There's a "Dave the [adjective] Hyena" on UKFur as well.

I just saw that you added me. Howdy. I gave up a.l.f. several months ago when LJ started taking the place of the newsgroup as a means of communicating with other furs. I especially got frustrated when Dave the Dildo spoofed my, and others, id to post spam. I don't need that crap. I still lurk a bit, but it's pretty boring. I have been enjoying your little battle with Dave and Snuh, though. Fun stuff.

I'm afraid I was a little too hard on Snuhwolf. He seems quite deflated now.

Did you see that "Something on topic...Maybe" thread? Lots of old Homesteaders came out of the woodwork to contribute to that thread on the difficulties of actually living in a "Furry World".
