Attention: Blooming Lotus!

[cerebus]

You're really the troll formerly known as "backbreaker" aren't you?

[scotty1]

Ooooh, controversial!:D

Tell us, 7*!

I've often thought maybe BL was a persona. If so, excellent job. The writing style is so unique and detached from any other I've come across. I couldn't emulate it if I tried.

[PHILBERT]

I've done several IP checks on BL when he/she/hermaphrodite posted on the internal forum and didn't get any match ups on IP to backbreaker. Usually backbreaker didn't post under 2 names at the same time.

[Serpent]

I think you guys should stop looking for a previous incarnation of bl. She's a whole new thang. Now, whether she is actually creating this persona and having a laugh, or if this is really her personality, I'm not sure.

However, I'm pretty sure it's not a new persona of someone we already know. I actually think this is genuinely what bl is like. Imagine being in the same room as her! *shudder*

[T'ai Ji Monkey]

I am not so convinced that BL is a new "thang". ;)

Maybe the mods should check IP's against more members than the standard trolls.

As I mentioned on another thread an IP-Trace would quickly solve the issues as to "Bl's" probable location.

[PHILBERT]

The problem is BL doesn't just post AT HOME. (S)He (can we verify if BL is a she?) posts from other locations as well, just like I do, because his/her IP changes constantly.

Maybe it is a series of members posing as one member.

[Toby]

What I think TJM is getting at is can you tell if BL is in China? Ironfist says so in another thread, but it would be pretty funny if she wasn't. As to gender identity, she posted a pic (http://forum.kungfumagazine.com/forum/showthread.php?s=&threadid=27991&perpage=15&pagenumber=3) once. Not that an imposter couldn't do that, but if so it was a nice touch :D.

Hmmm, multiple addresses means either multiple ISP's/accounts most likely.

The IP-Trace will give the address of the company/business/ISP to which the IP-address is assigned.

Using sites like the ones below will show a host of info about owner of said IP-address.
http://www.dnsstuff.com/
http://www.whoisview.com/products/whoisview/whoisview_online.php
http://www.samspade.org



Maybe it is a series of members posing as one member.

Again the above trace would show that as each IP-Address most likely would would show multiple locations.

Unless all the address are from the same pool assigned to the ISP/Company.

[GunnedDownAtrocity]

kid is cute and she looks like someone i'd like to stab in the face.

hopefully the kid does if for me sometime soon.

[edit] just to make that more clear blooming lotus is the one i'd like to stab in the face.

Yeah, that's would I mean.

Digging even deeper it is also possible to find out the accountname and more information.

Had to do a few IP/E-Mail traces in my time so that I goud notify an ISP which account was sending the bad stuff and get the person booted off.


I use a small freeware called "Sam Spade v114" to do that.

[KC Elbows]

That pic is most certainly a stripper and her kid. Eyebrows a foot over her eyes is a stage trick, it looks horrible up close, but stage wise, it has an effect. She actually looks a lot like one stripper that used to practice with us, as far as her choice in posture for the pic and facial demeanour. GDA is cooorect.

People like to assume that all these people are regulars playing tricks, but for the most part, these annoying personas online are the personas of annoying people, at least as far as I've seen admining Bullshido. It's not like Badger making another id for a little fun. I could be wrong on this one, but I see nothing about her online persona that doesn't scream attention hound stripper chick, or former one still hounding the attention, in this case.

Could be wrong, but it seems legit, down to posting her pic to show she's real.

[T'ai Ji Monkey]

That pic is most certainly a stripper and her kid.


Can't disagree there, but it is not the face that I can see earn $10.000 a week to work as a model.

[CaptinPickAxe]

Dude, I'd pay here 10Gs a week to wear a bag over her head. Sweet jesus, even satanic Carol looks better than that...*shutter*

[Toby]

This is a murky field that I've avoided for months (dunno why :D). But hell, she posted the pic. She did say she was offered $10,000 a week to model. Even though they're Aussie dollars, there is no way in the world someone who looked like that would get $10,000 a week. There are probably few models in Australia who would get $10,000 a week and they're household names (or faces). It's not as if I ever believed her story anyway but the pic didn't help her. Also, Vash keeps saying he'd Der. I wouldn't. My standards are obviously a fair bit higher than his. No more comments on looks, except I don't like painted women.

[GunnedDownAtrocity]

i was about to post about the model thing until i thought about how many faceless/breastless models are hired for the job simply because they are tall and thin.

a beautiful face and a nice rack only detract from the clothing being advertised.

do i think she was offered any amount of money ... i doubt it... but someone with her build (skinny with no tits or face to remember) could certainly do the job.

[edit] ... and if you don't agree with me forget about super models and take a look at most runway models. they are mostly a great set of legs, coupled with a great stomach and very nice ass, and a very forgetable (sometimes weird) face and no tits.

[T'ai Ji Monkey]

GDA.

You speak true there.

AFAIK, most of those models don't earn a weekly fee but are rather paid one sum per job which can be anything from a few hours to a few days.

Not doubting that she was offered a job as a model, but the AUD10.000 per week seems too high.

BTW, I have known a few Biker chicks that ended up modeling.

[Toby]

No, she said she was offered $10,000 a week to model for Ralph (http://ralph.ninemsn.com.au/ralph/) magazine. Faces and racks are important for Ralph :D. It's a soft porn mag with losts of "blokey" articles (cars, boats, sport, humour, etc) interspersed with pictorials of models, B-grade actresses, etc. The odd nipple here and there, but mostly scantily-clad models. I don't think they'd have regular models on the books that get $10,000 a week. Variety is the spice of life :D. Like Playboy, Penthouse, etc, they'd have featured models every issue then a model of the year or whatever.

BTW, my brother-in-law's girlfriend recently earned AUD$80,000 for a job in Europe. She has a gimmick, though - an identical twin who also models. Also, it's not like it's a weekly thing - it was a one-off job. She did a similar thing last year apparently. So I believe in high figures being possible, just not for BL.

[GunnedDownAtrocity]

No, she said she was offered $10,000 a week to model for Ralph magazine.

oh i missed that. i stand by what i said, but that's different.

[Serpent]

She'd be loving all this attention.

If we weren't all saying what a lying, ugly sack of sh!t she really is.

[The Willow Sword]

Where is this "Pic" of blooming Lotus at? WOuld someone post it so that i could see for myself?

i have been laughing so hard at all of this ,, i want to see what all the hype is about:D

me too. i want to see what the hype is about.

[Gangsterfist]

They say a picture is worth a 1000 words. Well, I saw the pic and the funniest thing to me was the word "abs" written on it and what looked like an arrow pointing to her stomach which was covered up by her little girl.

I am definately not one to judge so I will refrain from any bashing, or debunking.

What is funny is Blooming Lotus has become an internet legend. We all talk about her and we are all so curiouis to whom she really is. This reminds me of a neighborhood kid I know. He lies constantly, isn't all there (he seriously has some sort of mental problem), does crazy things, etc. I don't mean jackazz crazy, I mean like messed up makes no sense crazy.

However, people in other towns know this kid. Bands traveling through have heard about him. He is an urban legend. I can't say that I can stand being around him a lot, but its crazy to how well people know him.

In a way I think this kid is cool because he is pretty unique. Plus the fact that people from out of state have heard of his shennanigins (sp?) cracks me up even more. Some people just need attention I suppose. This thread is doing just that.

I must admit I am also very curious to whom BL really is, what is her training back ground, and so forth.

So come on BL, post up a recent pic, post the names of your coaches/sifu/senei etc, and tell us the truth about you. At this point coming clean would be a good idea, and I don't think anyone would really hold it against you. I mean you have entertained us for a while now.

[The Willow Sword]

Here she is.

[Vash]

Well, if we ignore my more recent relationships, then yeah, you they probably are.

If, however, you take a look at my past few relationships, then I think you could agree I've actually grown a good taste in da wimminz.

But seriously, I'm still a little messed up from my last breakup, plus injuries and the like, so I'm willing to compromise for a little bit. :eek: :p

[KC Elbows]

Clearly, she's not gonna have time to answer this. She's very busy right now breast feeding a herd of starving baby sheep, and she's gotta lot of work to do if she's gonna get that "mental health/cognitive development/nanotechnology engineering" postgrad work in time to shape the future for all those lesser beings out there. I for one have no doubt that she's already enlightened, a true boddhisatva, though not so much the Laughing Buddha, perhaps more the "Sneeringly Condascending Buddha".

[GunnedDownAtrocity]

i think that was the very first time willow sword has made me laugh in all my years here. it was only a chuckle, but still.

[Kristoffer]

BL is very elusive in her posting style. I doubt she will even answer this thread at all. For what it's worth, I don't really care if she's 'real' or not. Frankly, there are bigger attention *****s on KFO than BL.

[PHILBERT]

T'ai Ji Monkey, I post from multiple locations as well, not just my home. The majority of my posts are from the same IP, especially now during the summer. But come this fall, some of my posts are from school. I too have multiple IPs logged, however, they are all from me. So if she/he/hermaphrodite has multiple IPs, it could mean posting from work, library, home, internet cafe, friend's home, etc.

I also post from multiple locations work/home, but if you run a "whois" command against my IP-Addresses you will see that the Addresses are registered to 2 companies in the same town/country.

Actually my home IP-address will soon change as I am moving at the end of the month, same ISP though but connection method differs hence new IP-Address.

IP-Addresses are assigned/registered usually in batches to companies and ISP's, "whois" command reads the registry and reports back who owns the IP-address that's all.

Using Dial modems/ISDN in general an IP-Address is assigned randomly from a pool of addresses owned by the ISP, ADSL and faster access you are usually assigned a FIXED IP-Address.

Again, I would say that the likelihood that if she is posting from China and using IP-Addresses registered outside of China is unlikely regardless if it were home/work or Internet Cafe..

[YinYangDagger]

Willow - Here's the pic....

I actually have a crush on BL :D

Plus, if she is a liar like everyone else says, she's still can't be as bad as my second ex-wife. NO ONE can be that bad....

[The Willow Sword]

Well the Pic itself doesnt look too bad.

i can see where people would question the validity of BL's claims and her overall character. I spent an hour reading BL's Posts from various threads i am still undecided as to the "authenticity" of the whole thing. (hehe sound familiar?)


PEACE,,,TWS

[Ming Yue]

wow.
you guys are obsessed.

not that I read this whole thread or anything. I went straignt to the last post and replied.

no of course you shouldn't.

I'm honored that my name is in that list with GDA's. I appreciate the hats off, ming somethingorother. I'll never forget you.

[Ming Yue]

see?

there it is right there. are you people taking notes?

[YinYangDagger]

(hehe sound familiar?)

All TOO familiar there, Willow Sword ;)

[Serpent]

Funny how bl has been posting rampantly on the Ashida Kim thread, spouting more of her nonsensical crap, yet has completely ignored a thread actually directed to her personally.

Funny stuff. :)

[The Willow Sword]

im she will chime in soon.

[T'ai Ji Monkey]

BL actually seems to be multiple person posting under the same persona.

We will have to wait till one logs off and the person posing as BL for this thread logs on.

:D

[The Willow Sword]

suggesting that I am BL in disguise:eek: :confused:

i am not that creative in my BS;)

...Thought that might **** you off :D. You said it, though ;). Anyway, off on a tangent - I've got a friend who when we used to go out clubbing, he'd just walk straight up to girls and say "Want to come home with me?" or something similar. 9/10 times he'd get slapped or whatever, but he used to pull chicks 1 or 2 nights a weekend. Granted, his standards were low, but I'd still be going home alone at the end of the night often wishing I was him. I just didn't have the balls to be as blatant as him. He also didn't have to buy girls drinks and waste hours laying groundwork either. Either it worked straight up or it didn't.

Friend of mine had a pretty good stunt for picking up ladies.

Walks into the Bar carrying 2 Motorbike helmets, puts both of them down and orders a drink.

Soon a lady would walk up and ask why he is carrying 2 helmets when he is obviously alone, he replies the 2nd helmet is there in case he has a pillion when he leaves the place.

Used to score a fair bit with that routine.

Old dog's still got a few tricks left in him, from what I've seen lately. :D

[rubthebuddha]

gda, you transcend trolling. you should get a verb of your own, as what you do really is something exclusive to but not completely dissimilar from trolling. however, it shouldn't sound as awkward as gdaing.

any suggestions, oh informed masses? :confused:

[SevenStar]

you're darn tootin I am. Bow down to the attention wh0ring entity that is SevenStar!

[Kristoffer]

:D

see what I mean, T? But yeah I agree BL takes the cake. For someone that is supposedly in China, in a remote village or whatever. There sure seems to be alot of internet cafees around. Now, I'm no expert on chinese politics but as I recall most internet sites are prohibited and banned out in whole China. Like, google for example.

[T'ai Ji Monkey]

I also thought that strange that she is "supposed" to be stuck somewhere where there is no creature comfort, but has access to the computer at work/home/internet cafes.

At the SAME time she can't find a DVD-player, Printer and other things, China has more pirated/copied goods than the rest of the world combined.

FYI, my Company gets all our software development done in Shanghai by a Chinese firm, I am 100% sure that she could get ANYTHING she wants in Beijing or any other bigger town.

China cracks down pretty heavy on Internet cafes, but there are still many open. If I remember correctly there is also one close to the Shaolin Temple, but Gene will have to verify that one.
Most Internet Cafes I have visited also had printers/scanners/etc doubt that it is that different in China.

[Brad]

Most of my friends in China have access to scanners.

[Brad]

BTW, did BL ever give a more specific location in China?

[David Jamieson]

Frankly, there are bigger attention *****s on KFO than BL.

no sh.it sherlock! LOL
The joint is swarmin with em!

But, if you didn't have any ego at all, you would have great difficulty in understanding reality not to mention talking and walking.

cheers

p.s, I am having difficulty understanding the reality of the obsession with BL. How is she any different than anyone else here in her posts?

There are people who are more esoteric and can be deemed incorrect in some of their assumptions in this regards. There are also people here of the so called "reality" set who are off the mark as well and seem to be merely exploring the pleasures of aggression moreso than tactical realities which it is ignorant to assume one can know alkl possible outcomes to a given scenario.

Anyway, BL is just doing her thing, and that's ok with me. :D Some of you guys are too quick to be rubbed the wrong way anyway. Especially the politico types hahahahaa.

well, cheers!

[Kristoffer]

"did BL ever give a more specific location in China?"

Don't remember. But I got the feeling she was in the country side, and not around any big cities.

If she is in the country then there isn't really anywhere to get all those gadgets. China is only hi tech (if that even) in the cities.

Oh and Kung Lek have slapped the correct like a *****

If I remember correctly she said 1hr out of Beijing by Train, somewhere in Shonshang(sic).

Not that different from many areas I know in 1st World/Western countries.

Well, I'm originally from the training forum. We had a fairly heated argument there (her vs me & everyone else) in the "Muscle Basics" thread. She just had an infuriating style of argument where she totally ignored logic and reasoning and belittled everyone else by referencing her imaginary attributes. So it got kind of personal for me. I'm not obsessed with her, unless it's like looking at a car crash where you can't turn away. It's more like when you're flicking through the TV guide. There are certain movies and shows that I know I enjoy so it's a safe bet to turn to those shows. Analogous to BL - I know if she's participating in a thread I'm guaranteed a good laugh so I'll usually check in to read her drivel. Occasionally I can't resist showing her up for the fool that she is by correcting her, although these days I don't bother so much and just flame her. Problem is, you can try and try to educate her, but she ignores everything you say so really it's a waste of time.

[Kickboxer]

so why does she post here? im sure if you guys ignore her, she'll go away. :D

laughing/flaming encourages her instead.

[Toby]

Yeah, I shouldn't feed the troll. It's just so hard to resist. Anyway, she promised several times she was leaving, with much encouragement, but never did.

[cerebus]

I used to agree with Kickboxer, but now I'd hate to see her go. She's just too entertaining. And, hey, I work weekends and nights as a security guard, I gotta have SOMETHING to occupy my mind! :D

this is true, but most will concede once proven wrong, and will attempt to post some sort of verification to their claims. BL consistently does neither. She will say either "I'll get back to you" and won't , or "I can't research it because the IT in china sucks"

[Serpent]

*looks cautiously around*

Has she gone? Mighty quiet round here....
