Goodbye Ripshop, you poor hypocritical fool. You who cast the first stone. Who made fun of a musician on kickstarter but was shown to be just as bad or possibly worse as a musician.
As the Little Prince says, “the hardest person to judge is one’s self.”
From Diehipster.com,
“What’s up everybody? I have been refraining from posting on this blog because of special edd and his posse of obsessed male groupies that look for any reason to derive content for their stupid blog. I ended up getting “exposed” yet again…but this time he felt the need to include a video of me that I posted on youtube 2 years ago and a picture of me from 4 years ago from my (now inactive) myspace account.
Rather than give him the internet back and forth argument he so desperately wanted, I just blew up his spot and posted links to all of my music and sites to promote myself and steal his thunder. I really don’t know why he (or they) spend so much time to a site they hate…why not avoid it and carry on?
I just moved to New York and I don’t need weirdos on my jock…I just posted on here to express my disdain towards my generation (the hipster generation) and vent about how some of my favorite avenues of culture (art, music, etc…) were being polluted with BS because of hipsters. What is up with these guys? I know their blog sucks and is devoid of any real substance, but it seems like they wanted to pick on me out of the many people that post on here. I don’t know.
With that said, I’m going to retire this handle and come back under another handle. I don’t want these people trying to pry my personal info when all I’m trying to do is talk about things without the intent of harm.”
It doesn’t feel good right, to get bullied on the Internet. “Why me?” you ask. Because you’re a douche who posts on a douchy website. You deserve it, buddy. Move on with your life as I should.
And speaking of which, I just spent an hour looking into Bill a.k.a (Mr. Baerga) aka William Baerga and all I could find is possibly his home address in Staten Island and possibly a community service he works for to improve the area (go Bill, that’s great!) and the fact that he has posted on a bunch of hipster blogs including Brooklyn Paper and Brooklyn Vegan. But what fun is that?
And why does he keep using an IP address from Lima , Peru? Could it be that he moved there and he is just keeping up with his former stomping ground via the Internet?
It makes a lot of sense.
Since pretty much no one besides I think Hipsterminator and Diehipster actually live in NYC. All that anger because they are away from it. Which I don’t understand, because I have a strong love/hate relationship with NYC. But maybe that’s just me, being the transplant from Connecticut who has only lived there now for ten years.
But who knows, maybe Bill is just using a fake IP address which actually makes more sense, because every post he does, it keeps changing the address. Including two posts he made to DDH that took place in the span of a few minutes.
Will I ever find his identity? Will I find DH and Hipsterminator’s identity as well? If I found them I would finally feel satisfied? Of course not. It’s an endless game, this revenge thing.
But I will say I’m on this right now especially because they are picking on Matt Silver. And I don’t like that. I don’t stand for bullies. I fought them when I was younger, and now I will fight the online nerdy dumbass ones too. That’s just who I am.
