About
What's the deal with your nickname? How did you get it? If your nickname is self-explanatory, then tell everyone when you first started using the internet, and what was the first thing that made you say "wow, this isn't just a place for freaks after all?" Was it a website? Was it an email from a long-lost friend? Go on, spill it.
Some fascinating MetaFilter hoaxes/frauds:
u.n. owen: well-meaning MeFite asks for help for u.n. owen, ethics of asking MeFi for money questioned, u.n. owen revealed to be posting under husband's account.
airnxtz / princeofpersiaxz: is an ebay fraud seller free?, the ensuing MetaTalk thread, his Craigslist flagging question, and the ensuing MetaTalk thread.
Givewell: the initial fake post, the legendary MetaTalk callout by Miko, the equally lengthy follow-up Givewell fallout MetaTalk thread, and the fallout fallout Rachel Tension/Phil Cubeta MetaTalk thread, and four months later, a coda.
Funny Bad Posts:
This is the new
Leave the Grocery Shopping to the Women
The Trainwreck Thread of fr0zen and xteraco:
Help someone find a job without pressuring them? and ensuing MetaTalk thread
Some fascinating posts about hoaxes/frauds:
Margaret Seltzer, fake gang member writer
Tania Head, fake 9/11 victim/survivor
Joyce Hatto, fake greatest pianist of all time
Jesse James, fake internet boyfriend
JT LeRoy, fake boy prostitute writer (follow-up)
Kodee Kennings, fake soldier's daughter
and the most epic of all...
Kaycee Nicole, fake cancer victim (1, 2, and 3, and before it was exposed)
