Chris Chupik’s response (still in the comments at According to Hoyt) to my set of questions was:
“What’s strange is that he’s accusing of you stuff, but for some reason he’s talking to me instead of the target of his accusations. “Do you not think it even more strange that Sarah Hoyt had forgotten a follow up post where she attempted to justify the discussion of mass-murder of an ethnic group, also in May?” Hey, Contentious Flummadiddle, why don’t you talk to Sarah instead of trying to call me out on your blog?”
Well, I was asking Chris because he was the one engaging with the post — I assumed that was obvious. Sarah Hoyt has made it abundantly clear in the past that she isn’t interested in discussion. Still, while I wouldn’t comment at a blog that asked me not to, this is a clear invitation to comment at According to Hoyt. So I did but just a little one 🙂
[ETA: the first comment went in and then the next two presumably spam-filtered. So it goes 🙂 So there’s you answer Chris.]

LOL. Hoyt: “I never banned you”
Hoyt: (two comments later): “I banned him.”
You can’t make this shit up.

I’m pretty sure she boasted about banning me from her blog at MGC once but I might be mistaken.
Now I’ll concede this wasn’t unexpected and she is well within her rights to ban whoever she likes but I do wish they’d just stop pretending.

I imagine it’ll go the way it always goes when your comments show up here, Phantom. You’ll resort to childish insults and flounce out to make shit up about Cam elseweb.

thephantom182: Hope you feel proud, taunting a woman like that when she’s ill.
If Hoyt is genuinely ill, then she should be taking care of herself instead of posting wildly irrational, unhinged rants on the internet.
If she is ill, where are the people who care about her? Why aren’t they looking after her and helping her to take care of herself, instead of letting her engage in deeply emotionally-unhealthy activities? Does she actually have any friends, or just hangers-on who sadistically enjoy goading her on and watching her implode on the internet?
With “friends” like that, she doesn’t need enemies. 🙄

My guess is that Hoyt (like Freer and the other pups) like hearing about how mean someone has been to them. It feeds their persecution complex. It’s hard to be oppressed if everyone’s forgotten about you.

Why on Earth should you be afraid of Larry Correia, even if he is a big guy with three dozen guns or so? After all, you’re in Australia (or maybe Aberdeen or even St. Petersburg), while Larry Correia is sitting on his mountain in Utah. What precisely is he going to do, descend from his mountain and hop into the next plane to beat you up?

It’s interesting and disheartening to follow all of this. It’s fake news creation on a small scale. Whether the initial reports about Aberdeen were malicious misinterpretation or not, there are uninformed people who hold them to be true, and malicious people who are purposely furthering the lie. Now they’ve added a -burg suffix to St. Peters and then whipped up an imaginary “masking” (I assume she means she thinks you’re using a Russian proxy server). That will now become part of the “Camestros/Meadows” pseudo-conspiracy canon. It’d all just be funny if Freer hadn’t tried to leverage his ridiculous hoax into fucking with Foz Meadows’ personal life.
