Thread. In the run up to WorldCon in Chicago last week, one of our cyberstalkers resumed sending detailed, explicit death threats against me to organizers of the convention.
This was not the first time. They have left me many dozens of voicemail death threats. 1/
They have sent similar death threat emails to attendees and organizers of other conventions I've attended in the past year. They've gone so far as to calling in a bomb threat to local police during one of them which required a sweep of the hotel with bomb-sniffing dogs. 2/
And, just to put icing on the cake, they have physically stalked me across multiple states, from D.C., to Michigan, to Illinois, where they take spyshots of me from as far away as their camera phones can reach. 3/
You may notice the most recent of those pictures was posted on the 1,100 page long Kiwi Farms thread dedicated to harassing and terrorizing my family. The #DropKiwifarms campaign has effectively destroyed that hive of scum and villiany, but it was only a secondary source. 4/
The main source of the endless campaign against my family and friends has, every day for the last for years, been an even more focused group of sociopaths and terrorists from the infamous Opie and Anthony fandom community. They have their own web forum, created specifically... 5/
...to continue their obsessive criminal harassment, after their 30,000 subscriber subreddit and thousands of their accounts were purged by Reddit administrators and they were driven off the site. These forums shopped around d for hosts, changing several times until they... 6/
...found hosting in a country that wouldn't boot them for doxxing me and hundreds of other innocent people, most of whom had nothing to do with their imagined feud with me. This site is new.onaforums.net.
I've long avoided publicly linking or even speaking the name. 7/
As you can see in the "literary criticism" section, there are more than ten thousand threads and nearly a quarter million posts dedicated exclusively to their total, clinical obsession with my every tweet, thought, public appearance, and indeed every last detail of our lives. 8/
They use the site to coordinate new attacks, execute, and then brag about the crimes and suffering they've inflicted.
Their state goal in all of this, much like their ideological cousins on now dead Kiwifarms, is to destroy my career, marriage, and drive me to suicide. 9/
And as with @keffals, they've taken active, repeated steps to end our lives. As many of you may remember, my wife and I have been SWATTed by them 4x. My most recent incident ended with me handcuffed naked on our porch with six guns in my face. wisn.com/article/milwau… 10/
Oh and if you're wondering, yes, their website is protected by @Cloudflare, just as Kiwifarms was until last week.
Now, obviously, death threats, bomb threats, stalking, and SWATTing are all serious, felony level crimes. But that hasn't stopped Cloudflare, or their hosting. 11/
I'm coming forward now with all of this because as we've seen over the last month, sunlight is the best disinfectant. For a long time I didn't want to drive traffic to their hellsite or give them the satisfaction of the infamy they seek. But that time is over. 12/
#CloudflareProtectsTerrorists continues to be relevant. I'm closing out this thread with a sort of megathread of other threads I've had to write this year to counter and inform about our experiences being targeted for cyberstalking by OnA. 13/
