He is a journalist whom runs his own blog. He would interview people and turn and twist their words to get them locked up / fired / etc to make his stories more popular. He is known for slanderous comments about others for his gain
A lot of people don't realize is that he was being ddosed due to him getting 2 people arrested as mentioned in my above post.
Then I'm glad his site is no longer around. So weird it took so long to happen though.

Again as I mentioned above his site never really shut down officially. The servers (I believe) he was on were free (probably a sponsorship) and they decided to discontinue his services due to band with usuage / traffic from attack. Google shield quickly offered their services claiming to do " what no one else will" naturally a publicity thing. His site was back up and running shortly after the initial attack....
@Oni do you just not read what I say cause I'm a noob? Lok
