Look at what Rick Carufel sent us, everyone! Apparently his boyfriend works for Amazon and wanted to share something with us. Wasn’t that nice of him?
We are just shaking our heads at this. It’s amazing, isn’t it?
How do we know it’s Rick? Well, first, this is totally something he’d do — spread lies and misinformation. But also, you will notice all the misspellings in the email that are so reminiscent of his blog (it’s Kara EricKson and Emily FinlEy, Rick). Also, check out the syntax using the ‘*’ symbol. Look familiar?
At this point, this is entertaining. No wonder the AFT have so much fun with him.
Rick, please stop, okay? Just stop.
Um, what’s the point of that?
Who knows? What we do know is that Amazon is not doing this. They wouldn’t do anything this corny. Assuming independent authors’ GR accounts just to do an investigation? Right.
I can’t wrap my mind around how or why people take the time to do such things. Your heads must be sore from all the forehead slapping.
That’s about right. I’m sure he did it to try and trick us. And he used the term bully troll instead of stalker troll. Ooh, that’s really gonna fool us!
Also, he sent the same email to Carroll.
Have you seen his newest rant? He’s denying that it’s him. I almost feel sorry for him.
Of course he is, but he slipped up, didn’t he? We still haven’t gotten a message from AMZ that “she’s” not him. If “she” were a real person, she would have reacted to our post yesterday. We’ve gotten no message from “her”. Strange, isn’t it?
He’s so sneaky, isn’t he? I’m with Anony Wan. I kinda feel sorry for him, too.
He still doesn’t understand what doxxing is. He thinks his ss proves that we’ve doxxed someone. Everything we’ve published on our blog has been publicly available, either on GR, Twitter, Facebook, or Yelp. We’ve never hacked into anyone’s private account and took information to publish on our blog. Not once. That is what he did. That is doxxing.
I hear he has been on the BBA thread in attempt to get sympathy from the Amazon trolls. Poor Rick. His story is rapidly becoming a sad one.
Really? Then why did you remove all that information you wrote on the holy terror?
Because some of our blog readers asked us to, so we complied.
Athena, this is serious. Now he’s threatening to reveal your personal information on his blog. This guy is nuts!
Don’t worry. It’s already been done. GenX did that a long time ago.
Athena, Rick has only been aware of the GR/Amazon bullies the last few months. If he had been around longer he would have known that GenX had already posted your personal information.
GenX was bad, but Rick has become one of the worst cyber bullies of all. What is he hoping to achieve by posting your home address and phone number on his blog? Is he inviting some looper to turn up on your doorstep? Is that what he wants??? Ricks behavior is extremely dangerous and out of control, people need to be very wary of him.
Rick is basically trying to bully you into silence, he is very clear with his threat. Rick seems to forget that you and the crew at STGRB have been dealing with cyber bullies like him since you started your blog. He should really be listed in the STGRB side-bar of trolls. People should be made aware of who he is so they can avoid him at all costs.
Rick first started to get annoyed when he was caught lying about the length of time he had been bullied on Amazon. I’m not sure why he lied about that in the first place? But it seemed like he was trying to undermine STGRB by saying that he had been dealing with the bullies for longer. It all seemed so childish, but Rick seemed to think it was important that people thought that he was fighting the cause longer. From there he spiraled out of control, telling one lie after another to cover up when he was caught out.
In my opinion STGRB had no choice but to tell people that Rick was using the sock puppet account “Mary Shelly.” Anyone who knew Rick knew it was him, but people who didn’t know were believing the things he was saying. Mary Shelly/Rick said that GR were deleting members who flagged bully reviews and bully shelves. This of course was a lie, but it made people afraid to flag bully reviews on GR. STGRB had been trying to get GR deal with the bullies for a long time and then Rick tried to derail things when GR finally stood up and listened. STGRB had to assure people that it was safe to flag bully reviews/shelves.
Rick is like a cornered rat now, he is caught out in his string of lies so all he can do now is lash out and attack. Well I think he has showed people exactly what he is like. He is attacking Athena in the vilest way just because STGRB told the truth about Ricks sock puppet account. I hope people learn from this that Rick is dangerous and he cannot be trusted. If Rick had been aware of the GR/Amazon bullies for any length of time then he would also be aware of the amount of people who support you Athena and the crew at STRGB. Rick has certainly got him self a whole lot of bad publicity from his latest “blog” post. No one will ever trust him again.
BTW, I see Rick is cosying up with AH! LOL! Birds of a feather, hey?
Hehe, it was only a matter of time before the two became lovebirds. Two peas in pod.
Awww. I always thought those two would make a cute couple. I just hope they don’t breed.
Oh god, what a nightmare that would be! Little Caruhorn gremlins everywhere. Ugh!!!!
Omg! What a bonehead!
Tell me, how long have you had a boyfriend, Rick?
I think Rick is just pissed that all his threats of lawsuits and his petitions have come to nothing. Wasn’t he the only guy who ever signed his petitions? Being crazy, he can’t understand that it’s because he’s crazy and his threats are ridiculous, so he blames it on STGRB.
Like that brilliant White House petition? LMAO! Yeah, that one was gonna go far. *shakes head* As if Obama doesn’t have more important things on his mind.
