Free software "advocate" Brandon Lozza, a long-time otherwise-non-participating-and-contributing "advocate", as well as a participant in the harassment directed at me and my family, is more than willing to fraudulently alter the comments that others have placed in his blog, presumably to mask his active involvement in criminal harassment.
Lozza tore down his blog for the second time the month before last (after having embarrassed himself horribly there, and on Twitter, with his free-floating shrieking and unfounded accusations), and put it up again a few weeks later, vowing to "turn over a new leaf". Seems like the "new leaf" isn't appreciably different than the old one.
Brandon and the pseudonymous "_Goblin", another "advocate" regularly quoted over on Roy Schestowitz's site, had a public falling-out on Twitter over _Goblin's (not inaccurate) that Lozza was indulging in sockpuppetry or "nymshifting" as he put it, and suggestions that Lozza was, in fact, hijacking the identity of another long-time "advocate", "AstralKnight".
It's clear that "_Goblin" is correct about the sockpuppets, anyway: after shutting down his prior Twitter IDs, "ender2070" and "boycottlefty", he's now using the ID "AtlasDX" (apparently he's an Astroboy fan: it's nice that he's been able to find material at his reading level). Further evidence is in "AtlasDX" having referring to "Brandon" in the third person, an obvious attempt at sockpuppetry.
The argument continued over in Lozza's blog, where he posted an entry on "When Advocacy Turns to Zealotry", a subject on which Lozza ought to be able to speak authoritatively. Mostly, it's a lot of whining about "not jumping to conclusions" (presumably like the unfounded conclusion that I'm a "Mono supporter"), and "not making accusations of nymshifting", presumably not even when there's clear and abundant evidence of such actitivities.
The argument continued into the comments, and Lozza claimed that he'd had no other ID on Twitter than "ender2070'. I pointed out that he'd had "boycottlefty" for starts in the comment here, but that's not what it currently reads. Lozza went in and edited it, after the fact, to change "boycottlefty" to "astralknight". Presumably he's attempting to do this to cover his involvement of the harassment of myself and my family using the "BoycottLefty" Twitter identity and the blog at boycottlefty.wordpress.com.
Lozza, it should be said, has been in the habit of hunting up press releases which only so much as mention my employer, and calling or mailing anyone with contact information included to complain about me, in an impotent effort to interfere with my employment. He's also directly harassed members of my family via email, in coordination with Jason Christopher Hughes. Both are named in the open criminal complaint here. This sort of pathological behavior isn't unexpected from someone with Lozza's track record.
