I have seen this posted on a couple of other pages. I felt it was important to spread the word out there. Be on the look out for bad people! Stay safe!



THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT! PLEASE READ! THIS INVOLVS YOUR SAFETY ON DA

I am begging you to read this, there is an online stalker (Jere1234, Caeruleum, Kyakuchuu, all the same person) who recently attacked a dear friend of mine,:deviconkays-elle-belle:. DA has resolved the situation, but this situation is something people need to be cautious and aware of. He has been blocked but there’s always a chance that he'll make another account. I’m going to post what's in her journal and if you notice any patterns of similarity, please contact DA IMMEDIATELY. This guy has gone thorough great lengths to contact my friend such as making new accounts and pretending to be other people who he's not. If you would, PLEASE copy this entire message and let other DA members know about this threat. The more people know, the better chance users have of not becoming a victim. So please, read, copy and post this again so this information can spread and no one else gets hurt. There is safety in numbers and this sort of thing needs to be stopped!

Read on to see what’s in her journal and if you have any questions, contact her here :deviconkays-elle-belle:. She'd would be more than happy to answer any questions you may have so this can be prevented. Please let this word spread.

:devkaysellebell: 's Journal from this morning-

"I am begging you to read this, it will explain the last journal and also warn so this won't happen to YOU.

Jere1234 IS
Caeruleum IS
Kyakuchuu.

This man is most likely a serial killer or sexual predator of some sort. Deviant art staff is handling this for me right now. The man originally added me as Jere1234 and then he notified me that he would be switching to Caeruleum. He asked that I add him. Thinking he was just some nice man who liked my artwork I said "Sure, why not?" On this account he began writing some poems about and TO my girlfriend Kayla, and I. I began to find this odd but being an overly naive and trusting person I was polite about it, commented the poems, thanked him, so on. He wrote a poem about a lifestyle choice that I thought he spent a lot of time criticizing for being different than his own and I believe I posted a comment as simple as "Gosh, what have you got against that, anyhow?" The man literally flipped out. He not only wrote two journal entries condemning me and calling me things between immature and evil, but he also sent me notes telling me how "disappointed" he was with me. A man that I don't know in real life, have only talked to online for a few days, is "disappointed with me." He blocked me, and I blocked him back.

Not long after I began to get several favorites and then a watch from the account Kyakuchuu. I noticed the similar style of poetry and similar interests but I hate people who make assumptions and I'd rather not be one of them, so I just figured it was another poet with similar interests. "Kyakuchuu" soon after began calling Kayla and I "muses" and writing poems about us as well. 2KL he called them-- and informed me that this meant "To Kayla and Ellie" There is a numerous list of them in his gallery. He favorite absolutely every work of mine with Kayla in it along side of me and also any of my pictures that showed my feet. (foot fetishist, obsessive personality: bad sign) He wrote me notes telling of his extensive admiration for Kayla and I, his plans for other poems about us, thanking me for being his "inspiration". All of this seemed very creepy, but I was always thinking, what if this is really just some eccentric old man minding his own business, and he just hasn't got anything better to do. I would hate to just hurt some innocent old man by lashing out at him for no reason. HOWEVER upon talking to Kayla about this, she has taken criminal justice classes. She said that many of these traits sounded like BAD traits and BAD signs. She told me about a type of serial killer called "collectors" Who will collect information, pictures, anything about their subjects, and obsess over them, for a long time before they make any move. She told me that a lot of the time these men will be too smart for their own good and seem kind of innocent but mostly very mysterious. I have never let on in this site where I live as far as I know, all of my friends sites that are nearby me say they live in different places (luxembourg, Canada, UK, anywhere...) and I was afraid that the longer I spoke to him and tried to be polite because I wasn't sure, the longer I had to slip up somehow and for him to figure out where I live if this was truly his intent.

Well hopefully DA will do something about this, no more little girls need to be preyed upon from the comfort of their own homes. I am not a stupid girl, just too niave. Now that I started investigating it further I have found that this is DEFINATELY the same man, seeing as his first site has some of the same poems that are placed on the second site, and the second site has NUMEROUS poems that are placed on the site he is using now, Kyakuchuu. Some under a different name, but nonetheless, the same poems. That in itself should be grounds enough for being banned from the website. That's more than harassment, that's online stalking.

IF THIS MAN CONTACTS YOU DO NOT SPEAK TO HIM
please I am begging you, complain to DA so they will do something about this. I don't want anybody else to get hurt over the internet.

EDITED TO SAY:
Regardless of what was or wasn't said or how nice I was to this man as he claims, I was under the impression that he was a different man from the original man, so I had no reason to be unkind to him until I knew. Secondly, I blocked his second account and he created a third in order to continue speaking to me without informing me of who he was, which is textbook HARASSMENT. I blocked him, he created another account. That is harassment. period the end, and what I filed it under was: Harassment. So there you go. Not to mention he called me "obviously an adult" When he knows I am only a teenager. Smart man."


- After this my friend received a message from DA saying that the situation had been resolved. This man has been banned from DA, but please be wary since he could always create some other account.

Please be careful out there you guys.

T.B.O.G. review: Dark Knight + Gotham Knight

Journal Entry: Wed Jul 30, 2008, 6:39 AM
  • Mood: Joy

Here is the Brotherhood of Gaming review of “The Dark Knight” and “Batman: Gotham Knight”

If you haven’t seen “The Dark Knight” yet, first of all you are in the minority, and second, stop what you’re doing and see it right now. Yes, it’s that good! This is the sequel to the great “Batman Begins” which saved the franchise from Joel Schumacher’s bat nipples. Director Chris Nolan took the Caped Crusader back to his dark roots in “Batman Begins”, and for this movie, he took him even further. Everything in this movie is top notch. The acting is tremendous. Christian Bale (when he’s not beating up members of his family) is a great actor, and he makes Bruce Wayne just as interesting as Batman. The supporting cast is just as good, with Michael Caine as Alfred, Morgan Freeman as Lucius Fox, and especially Gary Oldman as Lt. James Gordon. Maggie Gyllenhaal plays Rachel Dawes. Now, she may not be much to look at, but she is better then Katie Holmes, who played the character in the first movie. Another great performance comes from Aaron Eckhart who plays Harvey Dent/Two-Face. It was really tragic to watch a good man Harvey, transform into the evil Two-Face, thanks to the Joker. Speaking of which, the performance everyone is talking about is Health Ledger as the Clown Prince of Crime, and rightfully so. Ledger, in his last completed performance, was incredible. He was sick and twisted, and very, very creepy. What I hated about “Spiderman 3” is that everyone had personal problems, even the bad guys. Oh, there not so bad, there just misunderstood. Well “Dark Knight” says screw that, our bad guy is just a crazy S.O.B., who kills people just for the hell of it. The action is great to, with some fantastic, stunk work. I love the Bat-Pod! The special effects are also nicely done, especially Two Face. That was just twisted. The movie is long, but the thing is, you don’t want it to end. It keeps your attention all the way through it. The only negative thing I can say, is that Christian Bale’s growling Batman voice is a little cheesy. Overall, it’s one of the best comic book movies I have ever seen. Now, there has been a lot of Oscar buzz for this movie and it deserves it. I think Ledger should get a nomination and maybe Eckhart as well. The movie, director, screenplay should also get nominated, but we will have to wait and see for that in February.

On a scale from 1 to 5: T.B.O.G. gives “The Dark Knight” a 5.

Also, in stores now, is the Direct to DVD Animated Film “Batman: Gotham Knight.” Now, this is six interlocking stories that take place between “Batman Begins” and “The Dark Knight.” What makes it unique is that the stories are written by American writes and drawn by Japanese animators. That’s right; this is a Batman Anime Film. Each episode has a different animated style and for the most part it works. Although some episodes are better then others. The first one, is about three kids who tell the own version of Batman. Because it is from the P.O.V. of three kids, the animation is pretty cartoony. It’s like an episode of “Shin Chan.” It’s not very good. There was an episode of “Batman: The Animated Series which was just like this, only done better. The second episode does get things going in the right direction. It centers on two cops, one likes Batman, the other doesn’t. The middle of this episode gets a little weird, but the ending kicks ass. The third is my favorite, basically because Will hates it so much! I call it the “Death Note” episode. Why? Because the animation looks just like Death Note. Bruce Wayne even looks like Light Yagami!! Skinny! Red hair! It was Light! When Batman was fighting, I was expecting him to pull out a Death Note, and for the criminals to start dying of heart attacks! Besides Light Wayne, it was a good episode. The next one featured Killer Crock and Scarecrow, followed by an episode in which Bruce goes on a spiritual quest and meet an Indian girl who teaches him about dealing with pain, and the final one is a showdown with Dead Shot. That last one had a major mistake! It had Wayne Manor in it, but it was blown up in “Batman Begins” and it had not been rebuilt yet! Opps! Oh, well. I guess we can over look that. Overall, this is a good companion for the Dark Knight movie. On the bonus features, there is also a sneak peak at the upcoming animated “Wonder Woman” movie. Sweet!

On a scale of 1 to 5: T.B.O.G. gives “Batman: Gotham Knight” a 3 ½.

Well, that’s all for now. Stay cool as always! And a reminder, T.B.O.G.: Quest for the Forbidden Video Games is right around the corner.
“I’m Batman!”

Happy Fourth of July!!
