I am going to be blunt about it - I fucking hate him and I am sick about hearing from everyone else how much they hate him. Seriously, I even got phone calls from four people about it.
He, the person or bot, represents the global part of internet I created estrip to get away from. He has nothing to do with our town, nothing he ever writes will, he is not related to anyone and I just realized his relation to scientology.
Why would anyone in his position bring their drama here other than to take advantage of the SEO.
Basically, I just want him gone and so do a lot of you as I have gotten a whole bunch of emails about it. I would prefer we just be open about it.
So I am torn on how to deal with it. He never responds and some of his text comes from other sources which makes me think he is just a robot. If that is the case I have no problem just deleting him at once.
Another part of me thinks he is a real person just trying to promote his disgusting commercial "internet brand." but in that case I think he would respond.
What do you guys think? I was thinking about just making a terms of service adjustment that requires a regular estrip member to sponsor out of towners. I mean imagine if a whole slew of lukabots decided to join.
The scientology thing is really just the last straw for me. When he first came on, I came across that same article he wrote for another site in 2007.

Bright colorsCategory: colors
Like the tortoise, I have a thing for bright colors. At home depot, their book called "color designs for living" shows a room with the bright orange and green I love. I felt like having that scheme on the cover of such a book legitimizes it. So many people made fun of me when I chose those colors for the side parlor before we "toned it down" to Victorian gold and dark cocoa brown.
The Kenmore day fireworks were full of bright colors but my iphone 3g camera is shit, so you get this pic of the food. Its ironic that my old cell phone back in 2006 was able to take a video of them (e:paul,32688)
If you gave never checked out the Kennore day fireworks I suggest you go next year. They are by far the most exciting fireworks display I ever saw.
I want this ceramic drink container from target. It's like cookie jar, gone camping - but for drunks.
(E:Matthew) finally agreed on an orange room and on the 3rd floor is the green room so that makes a green room and an orange room. Check and check. He and (e:Terry) painted it all day and I continued to break concrete in the bathroom.
And finally, this man's body in this brightly colored yellow room is perfect in my opinion. Well I think it would look better with some chest hair but overall I really wish I looked like that. I obviously don't have the dedication or the genetics for it as everytime I get closer I quit. Link to his profile on dudesnudes

A very nice summer dayCategory: hiking
We went hiking and "rafting" at zoar followed by a cheeseburger,
followed by the kenmore days fireworks. It was amazing.
It was supposed to be followed up by dancing in Rochester but we had
the wrong night;(
Here a (e:mike) and (e:libertad) trying to squeeze the air out of the pink float at the end of the day.

LOL :D
LOL :D
Here is the thing, he writes a lot of blogs and gets a lot of views. I think that if people don't like what he says then they should just not read them. I don't know if he is real or not. But he wouldn't be the first person who posts on a web site and puts up multiple posts. Some Examples I can think of real quickly was (e:theecarey)'s friend Sean something and he was on that dating show. If memory serves correctly. He wrote a blog and let you know he had like this other blog. I have seen something like that on Myspace that is really annoying that someone writes a blog that gives basic info but for the full story you have to go to there personal web page. I think he should stay. I also do get the feeling that the posts could be a way to increase web presence.
Well, I like you better now that you are at least responding and acting like a human and less like a robot. I still don't understand it but its more tolerable.
This country is about freedom of speech, but you do realize this whole site is personally owned, don't you?
Well, here is a challenge Luka, why don't you read a bunch of our blogs and get to know all of us? Comment and tell us what you think,
if he is real, I would love to see him interact more with this community, much in the way that all of the users here already do amongst each other. I dont think there are any members who dont interact on some level, at some point.
but if it is indeed all a joke, then 'he' is pulling valid attention away from the people who do write. It will get old, but why allow the fake blog bombardment.
At the very least, if you (Luka) are going to fuck with us, do more than toss regurgitated blogs at us.
?? um why is everyone being so mean? Yes, If people dont want to read my blogs then feel free not to, I thought this country was based on freedom of speech though?
Yes, I wrote about my scientology experience before, however i thought I would share it again, I enjoy writting. I dont think people should critisize me so harshly.
dt says, "No what you're dealing with is an obsessed psycho path. Prolly a degenerate. Be careful about posting parties with this nut job"
So probably not a friend.
Porn, man.
I see this very differently than (e:joshua). Pardon me if I am being näive. I don't think "Luka"'s blog has anything to do with religion or sexuality. At all. There is a common theme in each of his posts. Hate. That's all there is.
Assuming for a moment that he is real and not some bot, in my professional opinion, he actually sounds like he might be in need of psychiatric help. I am not sure that commenting positively or negatively or even neutrally on his thoughts is even wise in that case.
I see (e:strip) as a community - not a forum for a continuous outpouring of near-psychiatric pathological loathing of everything under the sun and self-aggrandizement to the point of insanity.
Controversy might be interesting, but this is just raking up trouble and manipulating readers to comment on content that isn't original, is hateful, and reeks of mental imbalance.
If it sounds like I am judging this person/bot, YES, I am judging this person/bot. I can't understand where all this hate is coming from and I don't want any part of it.
If you do decide to let him stay on, I will respect your decision and continue to avoid his blog like the plague. I see your point about there being a remote chance that he is a real person. I think the real question is why (e:strip)? Why not the million other sites that he is already shrouding?
The final decision is yours, (e:Paul).
And how do you get in the imdb without even having a movie listed with your bio :::link:::
Even wikipedia deleted him :::link:::
This is his IP. :::link:::
I've got $10 on (e:paul) deleting him before he goes to sleep, ignoring that he ever asked anybody's opinion beforehand. lol.
I don't think DT really knows him?
I think he's fucking w/you now Paul.
I've got some serious conspiracy theories here. Maybe he knows about your enthusiasm for Google Analytics and decided that he wanted to cut and paste block text, 5 or 6 journal entries at a time to keep his hit count up on the search engines. I can't prove it but it seems he's intentionally "blog shopped" over the past few years to get these same entries in as many blog sites as possible. My best conspiracy theory (not saying much) - estrip.org is a domain name close at heart to him based on his background and that's how he stumbled here? He's obviously a real person, DT knows him somehow... which is a freaky, freaky turn of events I can't come to terms with.
To be honest his blog doesn't bother me, I don't really want to be part of the pitchfork brigade. I don't care about peoples' religions any more than I care about their sexuality. I don't think he was proselytizing. Plus, I miss (e:cindy) and this site lacks controversy since (e:lilho) moved.
