A supporter-troll is the one who produced it, but no denouncing came from their website despite the fact that it was spreading around Facebook (and blogs). I saw it a couple times myself on FB but didn't really give a shit enough to pay attention.
Travis' e-mail:
Tim's response to someone teasing him about the troll:
And about banning the dude:
I told him people were of the opinion that the wording at the bottom sounded like blaming, it's up to him if he wants to change it or not. Granted, I see what these guys write in e-mails pretty much every day and they're not the type to blame the whole group.
My personal reason for posting it was because I think it's kinda shitty for something like that to make its way around and a group not say "this ain't us." Not that you can control for all the nutbags on the net, but once it gets fairly up there in the FB/blog scene it's easy enough to post it and say "Not us," especially since it goes against what they're purportedly trying to end.

Travis' e-mail:
Quote:The guy admitted that he photoshopped the image and justified it.
"yes its photoshopped I was hyping the event lol you do know the news is lying to us all day long. So they have CNN and Fox the 99% have me lol"
I replied saying that because they lied, it's okay for you to lie, he said:
"Yes!!
I would do anything to help fight the elites and banksters. I feel overstating the turnout when it is being ignored by the mainstream media might inspire people to head on down.
My take is the world is on its deathbed I would lie cheat, steal and murder to save my daughter a place on this planet these banksters are destroying for imaginary profits.
You can make this an issue but when the food runs out I am eating you."
Tim's response to someone teasing him about the troll:
Quote:"You and Travis have been outed as cyberbullies."
I can't tell if you're being sarcastic or not, but I don't see that we bullied anyone. We exposed a fake photo for what it is, and expressed disappointment that people were reposting it without questioning its credibility, that is all. We didn't threaten, abuse, or profane anybody.
And about banning the dude:
Quote:I meant it when I wished him good luck in his protests, as snarky as that comment may have been. If these guys can actually do some good then great. What I have a problem with is when falsified information is propagated as truth with a kind of skepticism, regardless of which side it comes from.
