I received a note about Kens baseless accusations. So , I suspending my scripting removing kens posts from my browser to set the record straight.

Ken is the sock puppet master on TYT. That is also one of the reasons we are boycotting his posts and blogs. Last count ken had employed over 20 sockpuppets to date. Ken has also threatened to use an "army" of sock puppets to circumvent the boycott.

1. I posted an update about KenTX sock puppets here . In that post I informed the TYT community of KenTX use of two sock puppets ; Hans Landa and Westy Pegler. Ken replied as follows:

Don't forget my other sockpuppets.

SallySocialist
CanCan
The closest I’ve been to Nantucket Island is an old Patti Page song. (She is a distant cousin.)
 

Of course Ken embellished his reply with another fiction embellishing his already exaggerated resume.

 2. " if you go back and look at Larry's comments, you'll see that I'm usually the target of his attacks.."

Ken's LaredoLarry sockpuppet employs a trick Ken has used in the past of creating sock puppets to "harrass" him.

He usually attributes these sock puppets to me.  He goes into my old blogs and uses old comments paraphrased to capture my writing style. he often goes as far as posting around the same time I log on to TYT in the mornings. Obsessive don't you think? Invariably the sock puppets provide Ken a protagonist and allows ken to expound on Kens favorite subject; Ken. 

Use of a "stalker" sockpuppets also gives Ken cover to re-spin his various claims about his wealth, education, relatives, oil wells, cattle ranches, "friends", like this little gem. The sockpuppet ruse also allows ken to claim he is the injured party.

3.  " Fred even employs the same badly photoshopped mustaches."

This comment refers to LaredoLarry's use of this picture in his profile. Of course if Ken had the skills to check these things he would know that this photo comes from  on line costume  company http://www.partypants.co.uk . the other photo:http://simplesweet.fi les.wordpress.com.  PhotoShoping photos on other web servers and using those servers as the referrer for a live link (to use on TYT) is even beyond my capability not that I would waste the time.

 

4. LaredoLarry follows Kens pattern of behavior to the smallest detail. Ken uses photos to bolster his fantasy ego, for example this photo from the movie "There Will Be blood" he uses on his account profile. Ken fancies himself as a oil tycoon, wildcat driller ect.

 

 

 

 

This photo he used in his "Hugh Everett" profile. Hugh Everett was physicist that shares the same ideas about creation that Ken often refers to in his blogs.

You will not all the characters ken uses sport mustaches. Ken probably wears or mustache , or wishes he could grow one.

 

 

Ken always includes little"clues" in his characters. It makes him feel like he has pulled something over on the TYT community. This is the photo he used in his "LoredoLarry" The LoredoLarry photo is a web store photo of a "Mexican Bandit" costume. Ken often post flame baiting blogs about immigrants then claims a distant Mexican heritage as justification.

In closing don't fall for the lies. Ken is the sock puppet king at TYT.

...was Whipped Topping.  Not only was it a rather ingenious play on words, but he had a lot of people fooled into thinking that Whipped really disliked Ken...

...and if there's one thing that Ken enjoys more than any other, it's when a lot of people believe his lies.

i never thougt of that but yeah...look at this. I was scanning through comments of whipped topping:http://www.theyoungturks.co m/comments/2009/7/18/14822/ 2827?pid=11#15

In that comment Ken talks about parallel universes!

"if string theory is correct it could be from an alternate universe. Its from Hawaii..but not our Hawaii.

 In that universe the Lions won the Superbowl and Palin is the #1 Porn star in the US of North America that includes  what we call Canada.

Luckily Texas is still part of Mexico."

 

His Hugh Everet character: "Hugh Everett III (November 11, 1930 – July 19, 1982) was an American physicist who first proposed the many-worlds interpretation (MWI) of quantum physics, which he called his "relative state" formulation" Namely parallel universes.

See..little clues.

I ask you, who has that kind of time?

Really? He had me fooled. Then again, he talked a lot of shit and never delivered on it...something at which Ken excelled. In a private (well, it used to be private) message to me, Whipped Topping said:

My name is Mark Tendagrossa and I am a staffer at TYTs ISP, ProData. I work with TYT periodically on the back end of the show and have been listening since the beginning.

My personal email is [withheld by the OneHilKill privacy police]

I'd be happy to share other "private" messages from him with the forum if it will help us get to the bottom of this mystery. He sent me quite a few of them.

"Mark Tendagrossa" would be fired immediately if his employer found out.

"Tenda grossa" is Italian for "big tent", and the word "Tendagrossa" (with no space) doesn't appear anywhere else on the internet than in your comment that I can find, which would be strange if it was a legitimate family name.

Unfortunately, I can't find the article where Ken forgot which ID he had logged in as when he was posting under the "Hugh Everett" and "Whipped Topping" nicknames.  It seems to have been deleted.

But I would thoroughly enjoy reading any PMs that you got from "Mark Tendagrossa".  If there is a network admin for TYT's service provider doing what that message indicates, then for TYT's sake I would try to put that person in prison.
I enjoy helping people to experience the consequences of their actions, especially when they're in my profession.

Ken forgets that he's logged in as Whipped Topping when he writes a comment from Hugh Everett's point of view.

See his comment in that thread "It is a simple plan".

I'd saved that link in my Favorites.

A man with 423 advanced degrees in every science known to man can't grasp the simple concept of dynamic IP addresses. Sad really, a man who is an expert on climate, all forms of energy, economics, politics, and theology just can't grasp the simple concept that an IP address doesn't stay the same all the time.

We've finally found something he evidently doesn't hold and advanced degree in.

the IP should be held accountable for the actions of its owner. We should stop rewarding bad behavior or the IP'S will continue to breed. Personally, I think Ken has been at the CIDR again .


So here it is Ken, big man, the owner of my IP address is listed as follows:

lightspeed.dybhtx.sbcglobal .net

AT&T Internet Services

2701 N. Central Expwy 

Richardson,TX,75080 US

NetRange: 99.0.0.0 - 99.127.255.255

CIDR: 99.0.0.0/9

My IP is one of 44,107,264  IP adresses controlled by ATT and available to its subscribers.

Now that I have shown you mine, what about you? Give me your IP and I'll give you my exact IP.

a different IP address proves nothing

1) you could be using a VPN

2) you always claim to be on your blackberry right? If you are connecting to a WiFi hotspot your IP address will be different for each WiFi zone you connect to.

3) you could be using different computers in different locations

So really getting dave to post IP addresses is pointless, it doesn't prove anything.

Much more convincing is when you log in as a sock puppet and forget. I can't believe you messed up that bad.

So now everyone knows you were Whipped Topping. So why do you keep up this act that it wasn't you?

What is worse is the implications, you created a whole persona just to insult yourself, there is something seriously messed up about that.

that KeNUTx has posted some non sequitur response to a simple demand, one he made by the way.

He is reluctant to give up his IP as expected.

It is clear that Kens plan was to provide "evidence" that he is being harassed ,systematic anti-conservative bias blah blah blah.

He is the only user with the time and access and knowledge of the blog history to pull such a stunt. If you look at the bog in its entirety, Ken by far is the largest user.

When I asked Tim about removing sockpuppets as was done before, he said, "Its not a huge priority.As far as I know, I'm the ONLY person who doesn't use sock puppets. " Basically with the newfound diversity on the forum, Kens sock-puppet attack to derail the boycott and provide a flame baiting foils as a vehicle for future personal attacks is of no consequence .

If you look at his post history Ken gleefully and proudly touts Republican dirty tricks against Democratic and progressive candidates. One would be justified to ask; Why would his behavior on TYT be any different?

Now that Kens plan of deception and subterfuge has been revealed , and it was rather clever in some respects, perhaps we can get back to the full time job of ignoring his drivel.

I'm sure ken is quite busy planing his "End Of Liberism " party with his shift mates at the refinery.

Damn...what's really embarrassing is that, back when he outed himself, I noticed. But six months later, I'd completely forgotten about it. That's a powerful testament to just how little impact Ken's nonsense had on me. In a year, I doubt I'll remember him at all.
