Here is the server she puts her ridiculous site on http://paonline.com/. I have already mailed the abuse department about this hoaxer and I suggest every single one of you do the same. The hoster will have her suspended for a deliberate hoax, scare-mongering, and also just being a general pain in the bum. :P

Default disagree

Just a goof I know but I strongly disagree with hassling anyone's ISP for their exercising their freedom of speech, however much I might disagree with the content. Nutty as it may be it is not fraud. The proper way to combat ZetaTalk is with facts and reason, not with attempts to force silence.

I'm not so sure that I agreee, people HAVE been harmed by Nancy's silliness. As long as no one is hurt by her statements, she can say whatever she wants but I fell that she has crossed the line.

Be very careful how you define harm; people have claimed damage by far less silly things than this. She's got the right to make her nutty claims, whether or not we disagree with them.

No thanks. I'm generally not in favor of netcopping.

If she is using copyrighted material w/o permission, that's one thing, but for being a woo woo and encouraging everyone to know that about her - nope.

I am not too certain of Truth Seeker's motives here. I think he wants to make people here look intolerant and/or foolish. So far he has only done that for himself.

I suspected that myself based on his earlier declaratio that we were all hopelss, so I figured my true stance (no netcopping) was the best rebuttal.

Wouldn't that be a feather in her cap? Nancy: "My internet provider has been deluged with email claiming I've committed fraud in violation of my TOS. These are all from disinfo agents and prove that I'm telling the truth. If it weren't true, why would they try to suppress it?"

Beat me to the punch Prince, the best way to defeat this is to take it head on with a serious dose of real information. This kind of back-channel maneuvering just gives her more credibility with the impressionable people she's already got on a line.

Well Truth Seeker,

What say you to these suggestions that you are an agent provocateur?

Please explain to me how trying to rid of a site which is offending the entire internet makes me "look a fool" and makes me a "troll". I want to see this site removed as much as the next person.

This isn't the thread that makes you look foolish, you have done that on other thread.

Also, I still doubt your sincerity.

Who is this 'next person'? So far, no one but you wants to see her site removed.

It's simple. Actions taken by an ISP against one of their customers are generally for things like spamming, copyright violations, harrassment, and other explicitly illegal behaviors.

Ms. Lieder's Internet site, etc., are ludicrous, ignorant, wrong, arrogant, and generally abusive, plus a generalized inducement for people with weak minds to do foolish things. None of these are crimes, and none of these are behaviors which in themselves damage anybody's Internet connectivity.

Yelling at her ISP to remove her site is thus censorship for content, not censorship for any kind of criminal act, contract breach with her ISP, or other legal violation. Such censorship is wrong. If she claimed, say a specific health benefit for her particular Zeta-brand tinfoil hat, that would be different, but this more generalized intellectual fraud must be combatted with truth: "Sunlight is the best disinfectant."

Besides the fact that Nancy has mirrors on other hosts, she'd just relocate to a new hosting service - and then claim the "PTB" are trying to shut her down - another lame "sign of the times".

Best leave her to her own demise. She's doing just fine in that respect on her own.

Didn't you direct us to a whole web site dedicated to Planet X?

Why yes, yes you did.

Hmmmmm............... :-k

I also agree that a campaign to get the site remove would only reinforce their delusions.

Also, what's up with Truth Seeker's teeny-tiny signature? Here's what it says: "Planet X is fake, and I will be the man to prove that, and show the world how gullible and stupid they are for believing it with my GCSE Science level C."

I'm confused over TS's agenda.

It's called a "mock" attitude. Since you guys are so cool and knowledged on the subject of debunking Planet X, I decided I was wrong that Planet X existed and decided to become a mega-debunker just like you guys. You don't have to flame me now.

Really? What exactly was it that turned your opinion?

You see I realise how stupid I was to even consider that a Planet X existed. I mean we haven't even seen the damn thing with our own eyes, I realise it was just stupid, and this Zetatalk is just a scare monger site which is only there to manipulate us all. By removing it we don't have to consider it as a reality, as lens flare is always accountable for its alledged appearence in photos.

If I were to place a bet, 15 minutes of fame. Given the utter lack of any point to his posts and blatant personal attacks on his targets of the moment, his time is ticking away. I was pretty shocked he survived the Steven Hawking commentary myself. Its just odd jabs and strikes to push buttons and generate responses.
