Who am I writing under the pseudonym Deepthroat?
This will become a topical question if and when Iain eventually picks up on this site.
Is it cowardice to write behind a pseudonym? It depends on the circumstance. It can be cowardice.
A pseudonym can be used to hide behind while slandering others. Despite his claims that it is inherently cowardly, Iain himself hid behind the name "Niceperson" during his earliest attacks on Jeremy Sear in 2005.
What did Iain have to fear from Jeremy Sear? Well. Nothing. Say what you want about Jeremy's character or temper, he's not going to try to violate others online.
Iain isn't the same.
Iain's online activities include provocatively alluding to the possibility of identity theft (complete with the publication of the necessary personal details) against The Editor from GrodsCorp. Iain's online activities involve the publication of the details of Jeremy Sear's employment. Iain's online activities involve thinly veiled (albeit impotent) threats against the employment of Mikey Capital.
Keeping personal details away from the likes of Iain Hall isn't cowardice. It's just plain, sensible, safe Internet use.
But that doesn't really answer the question of who I am. You may want some background information to get an idea of my biases.
I'll now answer a few questions of my own selection. Sorry, but I want to keep this safe.
Q: Is Deepthroat a pre-existing blogger?
A: Yes I am. However one of my previous blogs is long since deleted and the other I can't access because I lost the password.
Q: How long has Deepthroat been blogging?
A: I have blogged on and off (and this blog itself will be on and off) since 2005.
Q: Does Deepthroat enjoy reading the bloggers that Iain targets (does Deepthroat have an axe to grind)?
A: For the most part yes. I enjoy and am content to read most of them. I have even been known to try and emulate the style of one or two of them. I'm sure I'll be accused of being one (or more) of them in future.
But I don't like all of them. Vicky Kasidis (whom Iain portrays as a "Leftard" and a pornographer) may be a nice person, but I'm not interested in her personally or her more personal stories. In particular I find her political writing to be riddled with prejudice, name calling, naiveté, sanctimony and poor arguments. I think that other bloggers have been too charitable to her political writing, either in chiming in or ignoring her follies. But this has nothing to do with the reason this blog exists or why she is mentioned.
Q: Has Deepthroat had contact with any of the bloggers Iain has targetted or engaged in flame wars with?
A: Yes. You will get no more than that. My inbox is private.
Q: Is Deepthroat popularly associated with the groups that Iain targets or provokes?
A: I don't think so.
Q: Does Deepthroat respect Iain Hall.
A: No. I honestly think he is pathetic. His transgressions against other people are obvious as is the fact that he has problems. This by itself is not why I lack respect for him. If he would put his ego on the bench for a while to admit and get help with his problematic antics, instead of trying to save face and foist his problem onto others, things would be different. It is this egocentricity, thoughtlessness and blatant disregard for his responsibility for his own actions that in my opinion, is beneath any properly developed adult.
Q: Is Deepthroat a "leftard"?
A: If I were to think about it for a second or two more than I do, I'd have to say that I'm centrist. But these things are more complex than that so I don't focus on it. Oversimplifications don't merit such consideration.
Q: Is Deepthroat a man or a woman?
A: I'm not telling you that. I don't think it reflects on the content that I write here. I'm pro-feminist in as far as equal-rights goes if that helps. I know that sometimes people do think that it does. I'm equally capable of writing this blog as any man or woman!
Q: Is Deepthroat going to answer any more questions about themselves?
A: No. Unless by accident. This Q&A session has ended. From this point on, I'm going to (continue to) randomly mimic traits of other bloggers to help mask my identity.

Why does this blog exist?
Indeed. Why is this blog even here?
Another blogger once commented;
"I then went to bourbon boy’s site, known as HALLWATCH. This site is dedicated to shitting on Iain Hall!!! I thought this a bit strange as Hall is not a major media figure exactly, he’s a bloke who blogs." - Adrien, February 2006.
True. Iain is not a major media figure. He's not a leading journalist. He's not a spokesperson for any particular group. He speaks for nobody but himself and at least at first, nobody knew who the hell he was.
But then, nobody knew who Chris Crocker was at one point. Not that Iain has half the celebrity, but the point can be made that when someone acts up enough on the net, that as banal as it may sound there is some justification for a laugh at their expense.
Even then though, it can all get a bit much simply relying on laughs for a justification to blog. Blogging about Iain is no exception.
"Folks I reckon the time for Hallwatch is just about at an end, every time I log on to Iain Halls shitty blogs these days I just get the impression that he has become an empty headed piss-ant who spends his blogging days copying and pasting slabs of crap from either his mate KG or a few news sites." - Bourbon Boy, January 15, 2007.
Well, Iain hasn't been entirely inactive of late. He's recently reactivated "Being Nice" and has tried his hand at baiting Mikey. It's not like there isn't material for Bourbon Boy to work with. Indeed, even Iain's recently uninspired writing (uninspired I suggest because his targets of choice are ignoring him of late) is itself fodder for ridicule.
I think Bourbon Boy's problem stems from the fact that ridicule as a motive can only carry you so far.
But that isn't what this blog is about. This blog isn't here to poke fun at Iain Hall like HALLWATCH. This blog isn't here to make anyone laugh.
No. Quoting the first post on this blog...
"This blog serves as a warning. A warning of what you may experience if you are open with Iain Hall. A warning of what he may target you with if you let him in. This blog asks, is Iain Hall a "respectable conservative" or simply a dangerous psychopath?"
This blog is here for when Iain either tricks otherwise sensible people to be pals with him and either accept his distorted version of history (if they are silly enough to show an interest), part-thereof, or more importantly to help any new victim Iain may target.
I want people, if they witness Iain peddling his distorted history, to come to this blog and see what he's not letting them know about.
I want people to be safe. Talking online can lead to stalking online and Iain's online activities are proof of that. This blog is a safety kit.

It's hard to keep up deception because eventually the liar contradicts themself
As time moves on and a liar makes more and more deceptive claims, his or her chance of stuffing up increases. They have more and more chances to contradict themselves.
When the liar is a liar who gets themselves into a bit of a lather, when either they get angry or engage in to much triumphalism, they can get careless. That's often when they make their worst mistakes.
Take Iain's documentation of his exchange with Bourbon Boy who offered Iain a truce.
"Iain, delete Being Nice and FWC and I will delete Hallwatch. You have my word on this, if you take those blogs off the Net then I will take this one off as well. The time has come to lay down my weapons but you must show yourself as willing to do the same." - Bourbon Boy, October 2, 2007. (My emphasis on "Being Nice" - the title of one of Iain's blogs.)
One couldn't have expected this to work out. Maybe it could have, but parties more dedicated to resolution have tried before and failed. You can't fault Iain for not accepting.
So what was Iain's response?
"Now as I have already removed the blogs that you nominated from public view and as a mark of your newfound "good faith" I expect you to delete this pile of drivel immediately." - Iain Hall, October 2, 2007.
And perhaps Iain is right to demand this. He probably is.
But.
"Iain Hall would never move goal posts. Hypocrisy, thy name is Iain Hall." - Janine Aussie, October 2, 2007.
Janine links to "Being Nice" at Wordpress which at that time had only just moved from Blogger, where as Iain says, it was removed from public view. Soon after her comment, the Wordpress version of "Being Nice" also became obscured from public viewing.
I think it fair to give Iain the benefit of the doubt on this count. He'd only just changed hosts and these things have hick-ups.
So what am I on about with the bits about liars and accumulation of contradictions? Well Iain has documented the above conversation. One part in particular stands out.
"Now as I have already removed the blogs that you nominated from public view and as a mark of your newfound “good faith” I expect you to delete this pile of drivel immediately." - Iain Hall, Date Unknown, 2007. (My emphasis on the claim I want to discuss.)
Iain claims to have removed Being Nice (one of the blogs that Bourbon Boy nominated) from public view as of October 2007.
One has to ask where and when he repeated this claim in his documentation of the dispute. Not an obvious inquiry, but one that will become obviously important.
Firstly, in contradiction to the date of February the 10th 2007 given to the post reproducing Iain's truce discussions with Bourbon Boy, the original discussion occurred in early October of the same year. The date of reproduction is wrong.
Dates of publication can be fabricated on Wordpress blogs, and they can accidentally be mangled. It's suss, but it doesn't prove anything. What is important is that the post is viewable now, today, on the 19th of January, 2008 well after the original discussion.
It is viewable and open to the public after Iain made the claim that he had removed them from public view. Which brings us to where this reproduction is posted.
The whole discussion can again be found here. AT "BEING NICE"!
On "Being Nice" in 2008, Iain Hall can be seen to carelessly repeat his prior claim to have removed "Being Nice" from public view. Whoops!
When someone is trying to mislead an audience, a persistent audience with memory, and when they keep trying to revise over the "facts" to mislead people (incidentally as psychopaths are known to do), the chance of self-contradiction increases. The more fibs and half-truths they have to keep track of.
The more Iain dissembles, the more likely he is to trip himself up.

The man who couldn't keep his story straight
" I find her [Vicky Kasidis] posts somewhat charming and amusing..." - Iain Hall, May 22, 2007
"Post specifically focusing on “Mikey Capital” are password protected pursuant to my truce agreement with that blogger." - Iain Hall, November 29, 2007.
Iain has talked about his truce on more than one occasion. The precise details aren't public, but do you think that they allow this?
"It would be extremely tedious to document 50 leftards who hold Hicksy in high enough regard for that to characterised as “heroic” but in this context my definition is rather broad and includes any leftard like Like Mikey Capital who gets very legalistic about how what hicks did was “not illegal at the time” Or gushing Leftards Like Vicky Kasadies (Miss politics) who has written several very sympathetic posts about Davo..." - Iain Hall, January 1, 2008.
Despite this supposed "truce", Iain is still trying to provoke people into being his stalkee.
