Brilliant!

That picture is on the edge of being eligible for the awesome pictures thread.

And like any typical White Collar crime (Note: I’m not accusing you of having committed a White Collar crime. Thats the job of my attorneys, the judge and the jury) once things start coming out, other things will fall into place and eventually everything falls apart, and before you know it, someone is sitting in a jail cell.

"I'm not going to accuse you of having committed a white collar crime, but..."

Jesus. I love his way of hinting very very strongly.

I should probably overcome my tldr reaction (which is not a common reaction since I usually love to read) and just go through the entire thing, it must be filled with absolute fucking gems like this.

Edit: Christ. I started to read, and a few paragraphs down:

Aren’t you the guy who comes to the door to greet a party interested in Alganon, while wearing a sidearm. During company hours? In broad daylight. In the Arizona heat. Were I president at the time, I would have fired you right there and then. No question about it. Even the investors were shocked when they learned about that.

I love the "in the arizona heat" bit, because that's so relevant. There are probably tons of people in the US that openly carry when going to the mall. Thankfully not that many here in Norway, since we're not as gun crazy as you americans, but still. Not exactly something I'd think that much over if I were in the US. Well, unless the guy looked like an absolute loon.

Aren’t you the guy who, from the moment you were fired from the company, literally emptied the company’s bank account? Money that belonged to the investors – not you. Thus leaving the company in distress and with me working with the investors and Greg to come up with an emergency plan to keep the company from going under.

Oh wait, I thought he wasn't going to accuse him of white collar crime. I see how long that restraint lasted. Christ, someone needs to beat him over the head with his own keyboard, he's a menace to himself.

No earthly keyboard could put a dent in that colossal cranium.

You probably shouldn't watch so much television.  Open carry is legal in many places but it's pretty rare, I lived in Florida (a notorious open carry state) for years and years and only ever saw guns openly carried by uniformed police.

[tgr]

I wasn't actually using television as a reference there, but I was reading a forum which was for gun enthusiasts, where they were talking about OC/Open Carry. I just assumed there would be more people who did that, although "tons" is probably overstating it a bit.

I still probably wouldn't wonder so much about people who were openly carrying if I walked around in Arizona, unless they looked like a loon, since it's legal there. I would at least not consider it a firing "offense" or something to drag out into the public fora over. But then again, he who must not be named doesn't exactly come across as very reasonable.

[Grumblesmurph]

I actually like Allen better for his open carry. It's so wonderfully non-PC. Perhaps a bit unwise if the visitors were from out-of state, but at least he stayed true to his beliefs.

Besides, it's not as if a gun is going to suddenly jump out of its holster and start shooting people, so I would be happy if people could carry openly here in Norway as well.

BTW, unless things have changed the last few years we have more guns per capita than the yanks do. We probably shouldn't call anyone gun crazy...

We still have one of those old Commodore keyboards which seem to be made of concrete.  I'd donate it if there were pictures involved.

Remember in American Psycho how Bateman was doing all the crossword puzzles with just the words "meat" and "bone?"  Someone should do a comic of that shot with the words "Derek" and "Smart" in lieu of meat and bone.

[Abagadro]

Gotta love the complete misunderstanding of the legal system in there (with bonus Random Capitalization).  The judge and jury do not "accuse" anyone of anything (and your personal attorneys don't either). For criminal matters the victim or the state makes a complaint and the prosecutor makes the "accusation" in the form of an indictment.

I just realised than Christian Bale's character in American Psycho was called Bateman

Not too surprising given the individual in question.  This is a civil trial, so half of the supposed offenses don't mean much.

I tried to read that entire blog post, but the last time I saw that much crazy written in one place, it was done in dripping feces on walls made of rubber.

Damn you forum software!

[UnSub]

Shop smart, shop D-mart!

... it's been in my head.

I will give DSma this: his presence on Alganon has certainly increased awareness of the title, so he can tick that marketing goal off.

[taolurker]

In case anyone missed it, Lum posted about Dmart's latest blog entry and now has the pleasure of his presence in the Comments section of his blog.

BTW Lum, sorry it had to be you, but it should make the comments slightly better than Geld arguing with himself.

[Lum]

Pretty sure it was just a driveby.

Read comment 34 for a larf.

From Dmart's comments to Lum's post:

Anyway, I’ve added a Fair Use statement to avoid any Intarweb angst ridden rage by grown man-children running around with the knickers in a right bunch.

Even when he tries to insult other people, he keeps inadvertently describing himself. God bless rampant narcissism.

[tgr]

Damn he's funny. He's apparently edited the blog a bit, and added some more stuff. Like:

Since I was President of the company – and represent the investors – he had to deal with me directly during this entire farce. I’m quite certain that this wasn’t something he’d planned for, since he was so used to running rings around these poor people.

First, he took money from the company bank account and sent it to a personal attorney in Seattle. This was his first bid to scare and strong arm us into submission.

He’s in Arizona, but he went and got a personal attorney in Seattle. Paid him with company funds that he had no rights to – to sue the investors whose very money it was. Yah.

Well, anyway that one didn’t end well at all; and the poor fellow got (from the QOL bank statements showing that the money was wired to him by David) a few thousand bucks from David for sending along letters to us and which basically got him nowhere.

By the time that it was clear to David that I simply wasn’t backing down, I think his Seattle attorney told him to get a local firm in AZ to handle the matter if he wanted to get any traction. And thats what he did.

So, I get another letter from his new Arizona attorneys, who, unlike the Seattle one, was probably more expensive because a few days after David emptied the last of the money in the QOL bank account, we heard from them. So my guess is that’s where the rest of the investor money went.

I bolded the most part. He's going out, very publically, and guesses. That's awesome.

[Stormwaltz]

On the contrary, my friend. I believe we are the only winners here.

Someone made a comment on Lum's blog that I think might actually reflect what's going on in Smart's head.  The theory was that Smart is trying to bait David Allen and co. into a giant flamewar in order to make David Allen a public figure for defamation law purposes (a public figure who sues for defamation has a higher burden of proof).  It rang true for me because it's sort of the logic of a complete idiot, and it also explains Smart's many legal commentaries (such as they are) juxtaposed with the rest of his drivel.

That might be a reach considering the past history of Dmart. This is just part of the trend rather than something with purpose...my guess anyway.

[dusematic]

True, I don't know a lot of the past history of the guy (though I did find a sweet website that went into extreme detail debunking his claim of having a Phd) but my experience has been that even the most insane douchebags generally have some sort of internal logic.

[Musashi]

It really doesn't appear to be so in this case.  I think a lot of this is him not really realizing what a douche he really seems like in his posts.  He seems like one of those guys who leads a charmed life, and doesn't really know other people think he's retarded.  What was that episode of 30 rock that I'm thinking of?

He is sure convinced he is a special flower. 

[tazelbain]

"It's not defamation; I was guessing!"

[AmericanMcGeesBambi]

I think his thought process goes something like, "It's not defamation if you're awesome".

Hee. Hee. Hee.

And it's Lum's own fault. He invoked. Thus come the wrath, the hammer, the presence.
