Blogosphere Coup D’etat? (updated)
[Shar101 has explained that the time difference was caused by the GMT setting. If that was indeed the case, this analysis cannot be ascertain without additional information]
(Explanation added below)
Barely few months after the National Alliance of Bloggers (All-Blogs) was kick started, we might have witnessed the first ever blogosphere coup d’etat without even realising it. Many unsuspecting bloggers and commentators might have participated in the ‘coup’ and till now, still in the dark.
As you could have guessed by now, it involved the (in)famous commentator, Monsterball. To recap, the first big ‘punch’ delivered to Monsterball was by a blogger, Simon Wee, on June 10. This followed by an equally lethal ‘punch’ by another blogger, Shar101, on June 11. The deadliest blow was another one from Simon Wee on June 12. On top of that, many other bloggers and commentators joined the ‘battery’.
Major ‘punches’ delivered on Monsterball
| 1 | Sunday, June 10, 2007 |
Simon Wee | ForThose Maligned By The Infamous “monsterball” |
| 2 | Monday, June 11th, 2007 |
Shar101 | The Gremlin |
| 3 | Tuesday, June 12, 2007 |
Simon Wee | Malicious “monsterball” & Cyberspace Defamation |
However, there were few bloggers and commentators stood by Monsterball. Most prominent were Sheih and Susan. As a result of the ‘brawl’, Sheih decided to leave the All-Blogs’ Pro Tem.
Monsterball cried foul and accused several bloggers of conspiracy. Other than Simon Wee and Shar101, BigDog was also named.
For those who are unaware, several weeks before the incident, Sheih and Susan had traded ‘blows’ with few bloggers over their decision to allow Monsterball to continue posting comments on their respective blogs. Among other issues, Susan also talked about starting another bloggers’ alliance.
So, where was the coup d’etat part?
Take a close look at the postings’ dates for the articles above. June 10, June 11 and June 12. Read the analysis below.
ANALYSIS
Posting 1 & Posting 2 on Monsterball
| Posting 1 | FIRST comment made on the posting | Sunday, June 10, 2007 12:59:00 PM |
| Posting 2 | FIRST comment made on the posting | Monday, June 11th, 2007 at 3:21 AM (Comment made by BigDog) |
Time difference was suspicious but inconclusive.
(NOTE: Simon Wee’s blog was less than 1-month old and attracts very few visitors prior to the brawl)
Posting 2 & Posting 3 on Monsterball
| Posting 2 | BigDog posted a comment contained Monsterball’s particulars | Tuesday, June 12,2007 at 2:23 AM |
| Blog’s owner (Shar101) added that the information was copied from Simon Wee’s blog. | ||
| (Information should not be available because Simon Wee was yet to post the article) | ||
| Posting 3 | BigDog’s first posted comment on the posting |
Tuesday, June 12, 2007 6:08:00 PM |
BigDog posted Monsterball’s particulars on Shar101’s blog 16 hours EARLIER than the time he supposedly ‘copied’ them from Simon Wee’s blog. Shar101 offered explaination without even being questioned.
This was posted way BEFORE the ’source’ information was available
This comment was 16 hours LATE
From this simple analysis alone, we can conclude that;
1. The attack on Monsterball was well planned and it was an orchestrated attack
2. Simon Wee, Shar101 and BigDog were in this attack together as a team. God knows who else.
[Shar101 has explained that the time difference was caused by the GMT setting]
[By default, wordpress’ GMT offset is 0. Local GMT is +8. Taking this into consideration, there is still 8 hours unaccounted for]
The first posting Simon Wee ever made on his blog was on 18May2007. Less than 1 month he started blogging, he pulled off something like this. Who is this Simon Wee? Is he here for specific reasons? The information he gathered about Monsterball was beyond the means of ordinary bloggers. Quite substantial amount of time and money must have been spent. Was there mastermind behind?
The attack appeared to be leveled on Monsterball. But, on second thought, who was the actual target really?
Was it Monsterball, or Sheih, or Susan, or all of them?
What were the motives if Sheih and Susan were targeted?
After this, who will be the next target?
I am convinced that Sheih and Susan were right all the time by standing firm on their principles. Why were some people so easily blinded by hate? Or, were there other motives? Gosh!
The 3 ‘musketeers’ who think they hold a higher moral ground than Monsterball, Sheih and Susan were:
Simon Wee
Shar101
Bigdog
How high now dudes?
Monsterball, you were right. There was a conspiracy.
But, I can only string these 3 together.
Sheih & Susan, my hat off for you guys.
Keep on blogging.
[Now, it has been announced that Task Force will be set up to check on websites.
Is this merely an opportunity presented itself to the government or...]
p.s.
If the relevant pages became unavailable for your reference, do come back again.
I will upload them here.

dude, u r fantasising way too far man. simon wee was just another blogger who used to frequent susan’s site and leave a few comments. initially simon and monsterball traded a few decent views on altantuya or whatever shits until one lucy lee appeared. the contents in her blog sparks monsterball to call her names that degrades women and naturally simon defended her. and that started it all off.
the conspiracy bull r all in ur shitty head.
get a life, u mug.
[shockingexpose : Noted your explanation on Simon Wee. Why would Simon, Bigdog and Shar101 need to lie and put up a show to attack Monsterball? It is totally unecessary if there was nothing to hide]

good work. i agree with you regarding the conspiracy to attack monsterball (or someone else in disguise?). as one other commenter said in walski’s (my asylum) blog “these guys are pathetic” (the 3 you mentioned and others maybe), so true.
i also wonder about simon wee – was that an attempt to bring in someone of monsterball race?

From my opinion the initial effort to put a wedge among bloggers were made on 28 February 2007 with the posting here:

what a joke.
the conspiracy was, is and always has been susan, monsterball and sheih.
the attack on monsterball was orchestrated. or NOT. don;t matter. if it was , hurray.
sheih and susan is right in blah blah blah.. you must be joking. monsterball is disgusting and he is full of hatred and vile.
he can’t take as good or as bad as he gives? too bad.
bully for blogosphere. we can set up blogs to attack or defend bloggers.
oh by the way…. what coup d’etat? you have great imagination, though, whoever u are. at least we know who shar, simon and bigdog are.
coward.

The mystery is simple. Shar101 has not recalibrated his clock in his blog, http://www.shar101.wordpress.com to the correct Malaysian time (GMT+8hrs). His blog is still using the Pacific Time (GMT-8hrs), hence the 16 hour difference. Just go and post something NOW in Shar101 and check the time registered on the comment posting!
Actually I don’t hv to explain this. So what if there is a real conspiracy to run down Monsterball out from the Bloggosphere? Someone need to take the trash out, anyway!
Just us three, BigDog, Shar101, SimonWee? How about Rocky? A Voice? Zorro? Husin Lempoyang? ShanghaiStephen? IdontunderstandMalay? Aren’t they part of the conspiracy? Rocky has a specific posting about this issue and Sheih’s resignation and see how much Monsterball bashing goes in there!
Monsterball is a REAL MENACE to the Bloggosphere society!

Come to think of it, you should include Rocky of Rocky’s Bru http://www.rockybru.blogspot.com INSTEAD of me as the “three musketeers”, conspiring against Monsterball.
Why?
Rocky has two posting on the issue in his blog, “blogger Vs blogger” and “Kickdefella leaves All-Blogs” where else I, BigDog, out of 124 posting I had since I started this blog 17 Feb 2007, I hv NONE about this episode and/or Monsterball!
Shocking expose has not been doing his homework properly!
[shockingexpose: No link could be established to Rocky in the analysis. Talking about something does not automatically prove anything]

Dog,
why tell people what to write? You blog police or what? So if people tolerate MB, you must harass them out of blogosphere? Either you are with us or against us? It’s just ill-disguised Cyberjihadism, Talinban mentality!
Judging from your multiple and munerous enraged comments in OBE (other buggers effort) blog posts and elsewhere, it’s obvious the fact you don’t blog about it in your own blog is mere (and transparent) ploy to vainly disguise your obsession with this flame-war.
and OBE pretending to be moderate comments? what a joke. the uncivi comments he allowed, and yapping at those who disapproved this fame war! Who ya kidding? Can’t even give a logical and believable answer to the time discrepancy. Is it normal for blogger to go around explaining where commenter’s got their opinions/facts from? Especially if no one evn questioned it? If so, why not be consistent and explain ALL your other commentor’s arguments as well?
Is ‘Gooblegook’ the best response you puny brain can muster? It’steh equivalent of a 3 year old sticking out his tongue when caught with hand in cookie jar!

Your analysis makes interesting reading.
There was no conspiracy. It was a gettogether of hundreds of bloggers maligned by Ah Soon after someone renewed the initiative with something he would have difficulties to fight back. And that is the name of susan’s blogsite,”The Truth” where he spewed his venom on me and hundreds of others. You would be surprised at the amount of info and leads the others emailed me which made my job easy instead of the spending of “substantial amount of time and money”.
Being new to blogging, I was unaware of the feud between different blogging factions until now. I have no quarrel with either Susan or Elizabeth. In fact I admire what they are doing and when I started my blog it was to emulate them.
My ID is not hard to uncover as I was the only Chinese Malaysian in UPI and Kadir knows me. We will meet one day. rgds

conspiracy against monsterball ?
this guy ought to be banned for spewing lies …
Raja Petra last year has written on the peculiar rudeness and venoms being spewed against him in his blogs by likes of monsterball accusing him things uncalled for.
He has even once spewed nonsense such as Tun mahatir being slapped by the Johor Sultan.
And as I recalled reading his nonsense further, I think even jeffooi has banned him from posting anymore comments under that pseudonym called monsterball
monsterball said,
June 20, 2007 at 4:06 am
Thanks kerp….That is exactly correct.
simon wee have committed the cardinal sin in blogging and he is now treating it like a joke at Susan’s blog.
All can judge Susan and Sheih for me as against those three mentioned that are clearly pro Mahathir….which I am always posting nagatives about ex-PM.
They do not debate nor give opposite opinions but continuously belittle and insult me…finding faults with every word I put out…not the whole context…or bringing grandfather stories…..that is totally not true…as far as MT blog is concern.
I put this message not to defend myself… so much as to let simon wee knows CLEARLY…he has put all my children and grandchildren and my Indonesian maid in danger and he can tried to be nice right now…..and think it’s nothing. He is the worst blogger to commit the cardinal sin. Anything happen to one of them…including my maid….he is accountable….no matter how long. All may forget…as each of us have our own problems…..but not my family…including …the huge huge amount of Indonesian relations that I have told the matter. They want her to continue with me. She has been with me more than 5 years.
If he is that brave….show his photo..his home address and I will meet him face to face. Otherwise…. he can talk till doomsday…means nothing…. but a real sickening
COWARD…..talking big to get attention.
This is my message….treat it as you like…a joke…..I deserve it….or be understanding and realistically serious..

I think this is the biggest joke coming from the waste of society.
Since when Monsterball has any words worth any salt to say? He past bigot & racist remarks, stereotyping in abundance, making unsubstantiated generalisation and claims, and WRONG FACTS.
How can you not get picked … you are not economical and clear with your words and you HOGGGG!!!
Perhaps, you should stick to grandfather story that doesn’t require much intellectual requirement!
Anyway, this remark is his typical shallow conniving way of trying to make others look bad through labeling and trying to lie the facts. Irrespective of Sheih’s or Susan’s editing, there are peopel out there saving your words. YOu can’t lie, ole hog!.
Don’t cabar-cabar, we know when the time is right. Have you knwo shame makign yourself like a fool amongst all these young and smart people.
Idiot!

Welcome to the world of responsibility!
You cabar people, people can get back at you. Why are you worried aby yr children family and maid aka concubine when you were the one challenging? Learn to be resposible with what is uttered from your mouth. Serve you right for underestimating people.
Anyway ole man, your macho bullshit has been out of fashion for decades. That kind of machoness is only for the brainless but with brawn, which you have neither.

yea a voice ..you got brain and I am an idiot.. Let them judge. You are a lecturer and play pro mahathir politics….so much for the future of our university students under your wise and noble guidances.
Is your reputation better than Sheih or Susan?
Well Sheih said you are out to disunite bloggers and Susan said you are an anonymous to her…..a nobody…is what she meant….as if you don’t know. Now check out is Susan a far far more somebody than you.
monsterball said,
June 21, 2007 at 8:02 am
It is time you behave like a dignified lecturer than play pro Mahathir politics at blogging.
Somehow…you do have a thick skin….not changing for the better…but finding opportunities to put negative remarks about me.

I wanna do what I preach to be more silence, non violence and compassion now.
Firstly, I am not a University lectuer, although I do get invited to handle Masters classes. MY politics is for the cause and not for the person. I am not a small mind limited in thinking by people, things and events.
Secondly, as a person, I do not need neither any acknowledgement nor comparison in that kind of manner. However, I hope you do read the comments about you. Good reflection for your soul.
THirdly, for you to preach unity and ask me to change for the better, sounds honourable but perhaps you wanna start heeding all those comment abt you also.
Then even you and I can have unity.
monsterball said,
June 28, 2007 at 9:56 pm
a voice…Don’t twist and turn your brain too much.
Your search for truths through non violence and compassion will result to nothing …if you have a character to find faults with others….that you are accused of. It’s Mahathir style….blame others before getting blame….everyone knows his style…yet you and the their two mentioned are COPYING like good students.
I need not check what i have written all these years ….as not one is trying to disunite bloggers or Malaysians….but apply my rights to put out my opinions of anything….especially on Mahathir. Three of you do not debate.. You insult and belittle and Big dog is the greatest liar of all. Sha101 is a braggart and full of shit.
One day you brag you are a lecturer …now you say you are not.
Let me teach you something….the more you search for the truths…the more you will, get confused and suffer. That is the stage you need to pass over to get a clearer picture of your life and future. Many cannot do that.
You want to teach me to look at my own reflections?
I am an open book character…don’t you know that? That is why you three THINK you can corner monsterball. The only problem with you three are not versatile…just talk politics…..nothing but politics….so you. and the other two …who knows
almost next to nothing…except politics wants me to go soul searching?
All those people and you three are a gang…as if readers do not know.
I have ten times more supporters….bloggers and commentators fighting for my freedom of speeches….that you all choose to ignore. Monsterball have written without fear nor favour. You all are pro Maharthir….makan gaji supporting him,…want to talk soul searching?
The final point from is for simon wee. I repeat here again…to simon…do your worst on me and shut up. Don’t go to Susan’s blog and try to rojak whenever people are at peace talking nicely. You are a real thick skinned bastard…a coward and full of shit.
Tell me what more reasons you need to so call report me to ROC….no need to ask for others opinions.
You have exposed all of me…do you dare to show your face to prove you are a gentleman? Surely not…cowards usually talk big in blogging only. Meet me face to face also dare not….Why afraid of a 68 year old man?
YOU GUYS HAVE SICK PERSONALITIES.
monsterball said,
June 28, 2007 at 10:54 pm
JUST AS I PUT THIS MESSAGE OUT….”SIMON” IS DOING EXACTLY SAME IN SUSAN’S BLOG AGAIN. Today .
shockingexpose…You are right! They are after Susan more than me….and WE will protect her blog. They are jealous over her popularity worldwide and cannot take it.
This is childish low class political agenda.
It is these so call few bad bloggers that give a bad name to huge amount of good ones…making the government act as the see fit.
monsterball said,
July 20, 2007 at 3:55 pm
Dear shockingexpose….I will give you updates.
Simon wee said I am a criminal….my passport will be taken away and I cannot vote.
I have come back from overseas to prove simon wee is full of shit….plus the most sickening low down man to expose all of me….yet he still hide his face and address for me to find him. What a coward he is.
Shar101 is the real Gremlin….calling me one. “Beware of the lean and hungry look. Such men are dangerous”…so said Julius Ceasar…..proving so true..about that skin and bones braggart shar101.
Big Dog is the biggest liar in bloggings…..so he needs to start off calling me a liar ion all his messages.
Who are these three?…..Why just machais…nobody to someone behind the scene…trying to make millions…if the scheme to con others succeeded.
But their natures and mentalities are also jealous of Sheih’s and Susan’s success….so try to kill two birds with one stone….but biggest problem is monsterball…..a hindrance to their plans.
Once again shockingexpose….thank you very much for your fine efforts to protect the good bloggers from one sided political bastards. All is well now…and I wish to end again by saying to simon wee….many of my maid’s Indonesians relatives are waiting to meet him too. Sleep well….simon wee……you biggest bastard of them all.

August 20, 2007 at 4:47 pm

How are you today?
Susan Loone has become the first lady blogger in Malaysia to obtain one million hits. She has also created somewhat a record with more than 2000 messages at one site…at the Free Speech Zone.
THANKS!

Situations have changed after all have be known and understood.
Sheih is working for Pas as Marketing Manager…..while still is a registered UMNO member….but not supporting Pak Lah. How he can juggle….to please everyone….that is his own business..
Susan was lost in the woods….I confronted her….I got banned…..many also told her off. She was not posting like her usual self….for few months…but now seems back to her usual self. Good for her..
Politics can make good friends turn into enemies and enemies into friends.
Personally…..pro UMNO or PAS political bloggers turn me off….as they have track records of being racialists ….favouring … Malays only.
Thus few these bloggers are racialists too.
How nice to be able to lie back and see all parties…..as they unfold in front of my eyes…….friend become enemies and enemies become friends in politics.
As for me…..I trust…I get closer and be comfortable to talk sincerely. Some I don’t trust….no matter who…just mix ..smile and keep an arms length.
Life is such.

Political bloggers and pro this or that bloggers….have all quiet down.
Political situation is so clear now…..and I hate to brag…I am right.
The one and only person..I will love to meet face to face is still Simon Wee…whose profession is a Private Investigator….and we know ..how a PI behaves..don’t we?
Wherever I go…I am welcomed to comment in their blogs.
I just want to tell ‘cre8tif” writer…..Jeff Ooi welcomes me too!
Most important….I am regular at Rockybru…NIAMAH…Anwar Ibrahim..Lim Kit Siang…Mob…kata task nak..kerp…Elizabeth Wong…..and most regular in my new found love blogger……..
“Dr.Hsu’s Forum”…. a rare joy to be there….so versatile….so exciting and so fair minded…blog owner.
Many more…I go off and on…all welknown.
Even Malaysiakini approve my comments.
So..there you are..the Truths will always win….and right now…Anwar Ibrahim…all set to return to Parliament……and I need not give details…what is UMNO now.
