My blogspot is down, but I was able to get around it to blog..or should I say gossip. When I started blogging, I was attacked. I did not know why. I guess Fort Wayne bloggers were to be men only. But, I have since learned that there is a group of male bloggers who support each other in the blogosphere. In real world this would be called the good ole boy network.
I recently read that a cypersquatter took the names of potential candidates running for mayor in Fort Wayne, Indiana. Now think about it. How would a student in Bloomington just by coincident pick the names of the two candidates?
On November 16, 2006, Peters officially announced he would run for mayor. Peters announcement came after forming an exploratory committee on October 12,2006, two day after Kelty officially announced he would run for mayor. The more confident Kelty formed an exploratory committee during the early spring of 2006.
Second, why would a student with no connection to Fort Wayne purchase domain names of the Fort Wayne candidate names?
According Fort Wayne Observed it was on a dare. Stay with me. Why? Well, it is what it is ...Matt Kelty is not the republican favorite son. And if you are not the republican's favorite or favor, they love to play silly games. But this type of antics sound more like something crafted from those who are active in the blogosphere. Oh yeah, they have a various blogs under different names, different parties, different whatever, but they know and support each other in stupid stuff. Now, I did not say all, but there is a group. Yes siree bob.
I think they were trying to throw a wrench into the program of Matt Kelty. But, Kelty, and I don't know him, outsmarted them. This releasing of the domain name is not doing Kelty a favor. The man has a website already!!! So who would benefits? Or was getting lawyers involved would mean naming names behind this little prank? The man is just too smart(Kelty that is).
Chuckle, Chuckle.
Now, you are wondering how did I come to my conclusions. Prove me wrong. When you are attacked you remember things. And it helps to have a friend with a photographic memory. I just wonder if the domain name prank will get Nelson Peters some free air time? That's what it was all about was it not? Prove me wrong.
