(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

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

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

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.

[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.
