Dragoneer makes sockpuppets, on FA & elsewhere, to troll and talk about himself

[a pigeon]

Dragoneer made sock puppet accounts on the Furaffinity mainsite, forums and watch your step forums in order to talk about himself and attack Uncle Kage/incite people on WYS to troll on FA.

The creepiest part is that the name he used: Firepyro, was one of the net-names of a man who he had been roomates with, had grown to hate, and who had been killed in a motorcycle accident a few months prior to Dragoneer starting the sockpuppeting. Dragoneer explicitly stated that firepyro was 'named after a dead guy' on the WYS forums.

Rossyfox made a journal on FA about this matter, and Kage read it and asked for proof, Rossyfox responded with evidence and then, very quickly, his account was permabanned and his page wiped clean:  www.furaffinity.net/user/Rossyfox

Your account has been permanently banned for the following reason:
Account has been permanently banned.

was the reason given for the permaban. An Ex-FA admin Witchiebunny stated of this ban:

Page nuking, even down to the comments, isn't standard. That was done out of spite.

Rossyfox's journal is screencapped here: http://i.imgur.com/e1Xv5.jpg

And a .zip of it here: http://www.mediafire.com/?f5yl6750lj9b78p

Now, the evidence and some of Dragoneers socked up posts:

First, the IP address:



The mainsite account is here: http://www.furaffinity.net/user/firepyro (Note the journal intended to attack Allan, another target of Dragoneer's obsessive hate)

This is the profile of Firepyro on the FA forums:

It seems to have been an abandoned account that was renamed and took over, since the first post ever made by it said their name was sandstalker:

By July 2009 sandstalker had stopped posting. In Febuary 2010, the account started posting again, with a different writing style, and nearly all their posts were about anthrocon/Uncle Kage:

In one post, Dragoneer/Firepyro got mad at someone who said they were not going to FA: United:

(Note that he posted as firepyro just a few minutes after posting as Dragoneer)

However, these FA forum posts are mild compared to what he was doing on the Watch Your Step forum.

The IP address of Dragoneer and Firepyro on the WYS forums were the same, and when the IP adress of one account changed the other did also. The IP address of Dragoneer and Firepyro on the WYS forums matched the IP adresses on the FA mainsite.

Some of his posts from WYS, first his introduction post:

I'm Firepyro. I''m named after a dead guy. I also killed Kennedy. I am a dick, but I love furry art and am pretty much a lurker on FA and shit. I love good drama.

Furp is the person who used 'Firepyro' as a net-name, apparantly on Furrymuck:

So wait. Kage just showed up at FC, and expected that they change their con scheduling last minute to accommodate him? Are you for serious? If that''s true, that''s not just egotistical, that''s almost megalomaniacal - to the point of not just feeling you''re that important, but that you need to be able to all but take over any other con the moment you showed up.

I can share a story, too: a guy I used to know (he used to go by "Preyfar" - you may know of him) started up a bunch of meets and art jams years ago in PA. Small, but had a bunch of people. Mostly at coffee shops in Philadelphia. He told me he did a meet in the King of Prussia mall (old AC stomping grounds). Kage and his crew showed up, and said "Screw the mall, let''s go to the zoo!" and over half the meet blindly followed Kage and everybody else to the zoo. In November. In the rain.

Preyfar got pissed, never held a meet again after it was taken over. Who goes to a zoo in the cold ass rain? Short of FAU, he never ran events since. As he tells it Preyfar/Dragoneer got banned from the PA state furry mailing list and excommunicated from the local group due to him and Kage not getting along. Said there was some stupid argument, and got perma-banned from the list and PA furry events after the mailing list mod decided to fuck with him, changing his settings and continually deleting his profile behind his back.I think that was back in like 2002-2004 era. Used to talk to him a lot back then.

It''s been a while since we last talked, but I know the Kage problems continued for him when AC staffer Furp (RIP) moved in with him in Kyrgyzstan. Furp was bestest buddies with Kage and other AC staffers, and Neer bitched Furp kept causing a buncha butthurt drama, leaking everything he did/said back to the AC staff, causing all sorts of general problems for him at his job where they both worked. Dragoneer had said that the last thing Kagemushi ever said to him was "Welcome to my shitlist, asshole" because they had some difference of opinion, and some twat in his journal called AC "Kagecon" and Neer didn''t blindly jump to his defense, so Kage shit all over him. Been a grudge on Kage''s side against him since.'

He just can't stop talking about himself:

Between Kage and the Dorsai there''s a lot of "bad shit" that goes on, and most people are just sort of blind to it. Dragoneer used to be AC staff before getting thrown off of it after getting into a huge fight with one of the board of directors there over some rape issue. I don''t remember the entire story, but one of the AC board of directors was fucking everybody he could while dating one of Neer''s friends, and Neer called him on it and Kage and the other guy defended his right to sleep around.\r\n\r\nI can''t remember the other guy''s name. Damuth or something. Been a while since I heard the story.',

Gotta love that logic. "Asshole until proven nice." Great, so if you treat people like Dragoneer or 2 as "assholes until proven nice" then they''re going to be assholes back because you''re treating them like shit, then you''re going to go "AH *HA!* See? I was right all along!".

What the hell is with this notion that popular = asshole? Sure, there *are* a few out there that let their ego go to their head, but fucking hell, they''d be egotistical dicks popular or not. Out of all the popular furs I''ve met, almost all have been really nice and take time out to talk to fans, strangers or just about anybody.

The only guy who has consistently been an asshole is Kage, but he treats talking to him like an honor and a privilege. 2? Been really nice. Takes time out to talk to you (even if he''s not interested). Kage will just find a way to give you the ultimate brush off.',

I''d almost go out to say that Dr. Samuel Conway, aka "Kagemushi", could be an eventual candidate for his own article. He creates quite a bit of drama on his own, but he''s a rather "high up" figure, so who knows.

Figured I''d toss some ideas.Gets flown to conventions for free, usually with 2, when not a GOH. As a Ph.D he can''t afford to pay his own drunken ass to go to cons? I mean, he''s always reminding people he, "Dr" Conway, is a Ph.D, and signs his e-mails with it as a non-stop reminder. Surely that must be bank, right?

Created a policy for Anthrocon that removes convention room rates for people who have ghosters staying there. If one of your roommates is a ghoster, he pulls your room reg, then leaves it up to you to deal with the drama of kicking out your roommate to get your room rate back or have to pay full price.

Bans people from Anthrocon who go on news or talk shows, good, and end up making the fandom look bad in the process. They don''t even break AC rules, yet get banned. Worse, Giza (Anthrocon Board of Directors) was on on Sex 2K years and years ago, which was one of the more embarassing furry mockeries ever.

Goes out of his way to portray the fandom as "ultra family friendly", and takes action against people at Anthrocon who don''t portray "family friendly values". Yet, at the same time, he plays Rogue, a character who murders, massacres and masturbates on the corpses of people he''s killed and crushed en masse. That''s his biggest fetish. For a guy who goes out of his way to make the fandom appear family friendly he REALLY plays one of the worst characters in it.For promoting furry as being "family friendly" despite the fact when is he NOT notoriously drunk at conventions, and (worse) generally seen hanging around really young furs (like at RBW).

Per his own e-mails to Silver, Kage defends Tora''s rights to attend Anthrocon, despite him being a convicted pedophile. Not a very "family friendly" decision, yet people like Prawst get an official ban for "uploading videos to youtube" and Insane Kangaroo, who is a nutjob, gets banned for simply having guns in Pittsburgh despite not having been at the con at the time. People get banned outside of AC for shit they don''t do at AC. Guy defends pedophiles as being "good", but bans the Chewfoxs of the fandom for being "bad"? How the FUCK does that work?

Encouraged people not to use FA at his "Introducing Furry to Normal People" panel at AC because the site is one of the "worst examples" to the fandom. And yet, his personal porn stash on his own website is rather large and violent (see Rogue again). If he was truly worried about bad examples why doesn''t he pull his own publicly accessible porn collection that requires no age verification to access?

Allows his Board of Directors to troll other conventions (like FAU) and justifies their trolling by saying he "doesn''t represent the con" on his own time. If you''re Board of Directors and are trolling other cons are you ALWAYS representing your group? http://forums.furaffinity.net/threads/20729-Anthrocon-s-staff-trolling-FurAffinity-and-Preyfar-apparently-they-have-no-shamern%5B/list%5DrnI I can probably think of a shitload more, but that''s off the top of my head.'

Dragoneer read Silver''s journals, he probably does check here from time to time. Probably to make sure an article about him doesn''t pop up! Ha!\r\n\r\nBut yeah, Kage''s got a mean streak, and there''s a lot of shit and pressure about the guy. Hence why I posted this. Kage''s got a dark side, and he''s very two-faced about it. At the con, he''s the "front man of the fandom". Nice. Polite. And he loves dictating how furry should be to the public. And when is he NOT in front of a news camera?\r\n\r\nBehind the scenes? Not a nice guy.'

And he was happy to post as himself on WYS too:

I go to AC because of friends, not for the con. Most of the senior con staff like Kage and Giza (especially Giza) hate me with an undying passion (I''m on AC''s official "shit list" - I got banned from AC''s twitter in ''09 for being a "direct threat to the convention" per Giza, Mr. Muth. Why? Hell if I know. I was having fun all con, not doing jack! Banned from AC Twitter, not the con. How does that make sense?). The other half of AC''s staff? Absolutely loves me (and that half gives me all the logs and comments from the site that hates me! Makes for some fun reading.). \n\nhttp://forums.furaffinity.net/threa.....shamennHell, Kage even authorized and permit Giza to troll FA and FAU, and said that "outside of AC, Giza''s actions don''t reflect Anthrocon" (not a direct quote). Yet Giza is on their Board of Directors. Kage greenlit trolling of another convention, unprovoked. Classy fellow. How can you be on the Board of Directors, flame another convention, and your comments NOT reflect the con? Dude even reposted copies of my resume. God bless him. \n\n*cough*\n\nBack on subject: Anthrocon convention has less and less to do with furries each year. The Guests of Honor are all C-and D-list celebrities, not furs, and have almost jack to do with the fandom itself. For sample: Dan de Carlo (RIP), really? Josie and the Pussycats were as far from furry as you can get. Awesome artist, but not a furry or related to furry in any way shape or form. They managed to get the creator Foster''s Home, but did absolutely nothing with him (not even a decent shirt design).\n\nIf you read all the various AC twitters, it looks like they''re trying to appeal to the Mythbusters to go to Anthrocon. I love the Mythbusters, but... really? What do they have to do with the fandom in any way, shape or form?\n\nI think the con wants to be less of a "furry" con more and more. One of my friends is one of AC''s writers, and he was told to refrain from relating to furry and Anthrocon as being anything to do with Pokemon, Ninja Turtles, pretty much anything "recent" or "modern" that our fandom finds interesting. AC is less a "furry con" and more a "con that has furries".\n\nI know that may sound biased given my status with FAU, but I firmly believe that a furry con should be about furs and the community first and foremost. Granted, that''s merely my take on it. Kage does run an efficient con, but hell... I remember when I was on staff in 2001/2002, they didn''t even want fursuiters there. They were an "annoyance".',

I used to know Kage more from his Rogue side, as we /were/ friends for quite a few years (over half a decade). That''s how I got onto Anthrocon staff. I used to think Kage was a great guy, and he was... but something changed. He got egotistical over time, started to buy into his popularity. And that didn''t jive with me.\n\n"Kage''s" version of the fandom is pre-fabricated, white-washed and made for TV. "Rogue''s" version of the fandom is dirty, violent and sex driven. Same guy, two totally different takes. He puts on the "Dr. Samuel Conway, Ph.D" face for the public, always reminding people he runs a family friendly company, that he''s a representative and a showman for the largest "furry" convention there is (and hey, it''s even in the Guinness Book of World Records!). And when nobody''s looking, "Rogue" slips out with an anti-everything outlook to what he represents as "Kage" persona. Two different personalities.\n\nGet Kage drunk enough, I''m sure he''ll curse my name a few times over. In fact, I know he will - he''s done it with me in the room before. Although the reasons he''ll state aren''t the real reasons. He''ll claim it''s because I "post journals bashing people, then delete them". Which is BS. When I have an issue I say it outright (though if/when I go to far, I do pull myself in). I know the truth. He knows the truth.\n\nI think I knew our friendship was over when Kage got busy one day, and while waiting for him to take a shower and get dressed at his apartment, he put on a copy of "Uncle Kage''s Story Hour" to entertain me. He put on a video of himself to entertain me. Yeah, I... no. =\\ It was insulting as hell. Wow, rather than leave me to my own devices for about half an hour, you put on... a recorded version of yourself to entertain me? Really?\n\nEgo.\n\nKage has issues. I think his heart is still in the right place, but the guy has become removed from the fandom. Nowadays he seems more intent on getting in front of every news camera possible. Back when I was on AC staff, it was "talk to the press, get thrown off staff!". \n\nThings changed.\n\nI''m not saying I''m perfect, but I''m also not getting up in front of every TV camera to tell the world how awesome I am, how awesome everything I do is. I''m not submitting FA to the Guinness Book of World Records to show off. I could. But I don''t. That''s now how I am. I created a fake personality (Fender) to soak up all the credit for that. That''s why Fender''s face is the first thing you see on FA. In the FAU conbooks. To soak up the attention as an anti-Kage. Fake person. Fake popularity. That''s specifically why he was made. \n\nThe last thing Kage ever said directly to me was "Welcome to my shitlist, asshole". I never regret standing up to him.'

Rossyfox cleaned out his gallery and journals himself, actually. A few days before making that journal which got him banned.

*sigh*



It's just mind boggling, some of the things he said. It's like he has multiple personality disorder or something. Especially considering the

Per his own e-mails to Silver, Kage defends Tora''s rights to attend Anthrocon, despite him being a convicted pedophile. Not a very "family friendly" decision...

part. I pretty much did this IRL, considering that, months later after FA is hacked, he picks and chooses who amongst the hacked gets a free supersponsor invite to FA: U, and Tora is among these people! He deliberately did not invite Allan or Arcturus but invites Tora.

If it weren't for the IP match and the fact they share similar writing styles (and subjects), I'd never believe it.

Ya dun goof'd.

the last quote in the OP

There are so, SO many things wrong with this. Fender is ineffective at absorbing "popularity". Everyone knows the identity of the man behind the curtain. It's pointless.

[ProvincialTwit]

Ahahaha wait, wait, he expects people to believe that Fender was created to be the figurehead that FA would revolve around instead of himself?  Because, what, he's just too modest to take credit himself?

That is the most patently absurd thing I've heard since Conway declared he didn't like the cult of personality that had sprung up around him.

A furry claiming to not want attention is like a fish claiming to not want water.

[Three Cheese Pepperoni]

When I read about stuff like this, what do you even say? It's obvious just from watching him go about on FurAffinity that he has some deep-seated issues, but this is just pathetic and sad. What he needs to do is take a long seat on the shrink's chair. I've always thought Dragoneer was passive-aggressive, has some terrific self-esteem issues, was manipulative, obsessive, etc., but this is just low.

Unfortunately, I think he's one of those people that will just never change, especially since he has a massive and quite non-thinking echo chamber around him, lauding his every move.

[Jim Demintia]

Furry fandom isolates people from the need to change this kind of behavior. Can you imagine how weird it must be to be in the same mental state over the last ten, or twenty years? It's almost like a movie where the guy never gets any older. These people are so isolated from normal humanity that rehashing events most people might have to pause to remember seems like second nature to them. They live in a world where people grow up, get jobs, get older, settle down/have kids/buy a house...all around them, and they're still stuck in a state like they were in their early 20s. It's actually kind of intriguing to me, in a sort of surrealist way. How would you perceive time? Think about how much has changed in your life in any given month over the last five, six years. Then think about that month being stretched out over those same five or six years.

I suppose it's fascinating in a way but if they'd admit it, it's gotta be hell on earth for them.

[camellia sinensis]

Adult children with arrested development aren't endemic to furry,though. And settling down and having kids isn't an indication of prime mental health in all cases, either. I know plenty of "normal" people in my family who haven't had a new thought in their head since they were around 16 and are currently breaching old age. Let's not make this into some grandiose sociological observation, neer just has an echo-chamber and it's a stronger one than most, which exacerbates his servile, paranoid tendencies, that's all.

[Jim Demintia]

I don't think it's a "grandiose sociological observation" to observe that furry lets people hide from their social shortcomings. I just find the people who end up in a state of suspended animation for the better part of 20 years to be fascinating- Mister X man comes to mind here.

I remember reading on Wiki or something a while ago about a case of these two brothers who died in pre-WWII New York City. No one knew they'd died and I think the neighbors only called because of the smell. The police found a case of basically what we know now as hoarders- but this was one of the first well-known cases. It turns out that they'd purchased the house in the late-20s/early-30s time frame by essentially writing a check for the rest of the mortgage- the then enormous sum of $6,000. And then they proceeded to basically cut themselves off from the rest of the world for the next 15 years. They had some kind of saved wealth available to them- which was how they basically got the bank to "go away" by writing that check- and no one, not even the people who lived around them, knew anything about them after that.

It's really just the time frames that are so crazy here- 20 years is a big fucking chunk of your life. This stuff is one thing to throw around when you're in your 20s and even 30s- but think about this for a minute: how is Dragoneer going to be able to live well when he's 65-70 years old? People need people. And maybe the Internet cuts it right now, but it won't down the road.

[rodox_video]

The whole Olive Garden thing and all it's related grudges are actually the easiest things to understand about Dragoneer because they involve something that all Americans have an absolutely infinite capacity for: spite.

It is spite that drives American culture, and in particular, it is spite that drives some of the most self-destructive and immature aspects of it. How ironic, then, that it should show up clear as day in a subculture that focuses on escape from all of the negative aspects of modern society.

Some more of Dragoneer/Firepyro's posts from WYS:

I live for the moment, and don''t pretend to be anything more than I''m not.

Except when you're sockpuppeting Sean.

I''d loved to have seen how people react when they can''t hide under an anonymous name. Would attitudes improve? Would people be as dickish as much? Who knows.

If Dragoneer banned this dude because he fucked out upside of the site, just because Neer felt this dude didn''t deserve to be on the site, what''s to stop him from banning of any of us? Yeah, dipshit fucked a dog, but half of us are actively going after people on FA and ragging the shit out of them. The same shit that protects this fucktwat protects us. I think if you look at it more you can kinda view it as a "This is my house, and so long as you play by my rules you''re allowed to stay." Neer has proven in the past he''s willing to take outside shit into account WHEN somebody fucks up, but not until then. There''s good and bad with it. Dragoneer and his admins patrol all the drama sites, know all the people making drama, have a list of pretty much everybody by name. As long as we don''t bring it on FA we don''t get banned. If he started banning people he didn''t like half of us would be banned to, then we wouldn''t be bitching about Wildwuff, Animal Fucker (Ph.D) we''d be bitching that Dragoneer''s an abusing admin who bans people he doesn''t like when we haven''t violated his site''s rules.',

Talking through his sockpuppet, about why he didn't ban the dog-rapist Wildwulf: http://tinyurl.com/3h886gv
Though later, Wildwulf was banned
(my emphasis in the post)

People like Chewfox? Damned for life in Kage''s eyes.

^
And yet Dragoneer spoke through his sockpuppet to justify banning chewfox:

What happens off site is one thing, but the bitch was trolling him and FA to his face at FWA.

So what happens off site is initially one thing when it's a dog-rapist but quite another when someone is mean to him face to face.

Kage wants the fandom to be his ideal. He tells people what furries are and what he thinks they should be. If they don''t fit his image of the fandom then he tells people who. Kage tells everybody NOT to use FA, not to recommend it. And yet he''s on it. Why? Because Dragoneer and Kage/Giza hate each other, so he condemns the entire community. Never seen Dragoneer bash Anthrocon though, but they''ll tear FA apart non-stop the other way around. I imagine Dragoneer would say something but Kage has threatened FA and Dragoneer multiple times. Play Kage's way or GTFO of the fandom.',

^
My emphasis

Probably because that fat fuck is the only person who stood up to his shit at first, and drew the line in the sand. 80% of the fandom sided with neer and the evidence that came out. The rest of the fandom was people "I don''t give a shit" and 1 or 2% are white knights who defend the poor no matter what.

^
Referring to Allan

Getting more people against Allan is a good thing. The more people who are against the dude, and the more people speaking out against him, the better

Allan is obviously an irredeemable case, but here is Dragoneer's wretched hypocrisy: while claiming in public to have left drama behind etc, he privately encouraged it.

I''m going to commission Dragoneer to draw a white dragon with a blue bandanna and a white cock, name it "Zenith". Total opposite of Allan.

^
Doesn't he know that Dragoneer takes years to finish his commisions?

Think we can get it canned if we send in enough TTs?

With Dragoneer reading these forums do you really think it''s smart to flood the ticket system? They''ve been bitching about being backlogged for ages.

Rebooting into safe personality mode.

2 doesn''t have a job, and mooches off the fandom. Nice guy, but a mooch.

Oh no, Dragoneer is balding. END OF THE WORLD! Yeah, attack the dude over shit he has nothing in control over. Fat fuck? Sure. But wow, what a low life prick.I may be an asshat, but even I won''t attack people over shit they have no control over. Some things are low even for me.'

Pale Tailed Fox left this on Dragoneer''s shoutbox. THE MOST HILARIOUS ADMIN EVER... because you love somebody Dragoneer in love = hilarious? Man, if I were neer, I''d be insulted as shit by that.',

I didn't like Dragoneer back when he was protecting rapists and dogfuckers, but I love him when he's trolling Kage.  In fact, I think Dragoneer has completely redeemed himself by doing this.

You act like this is something new. This feud has been going on for the better part of a decade. I think it consumes Neer far more than Kage gives a shit about it, mostly because Kage "won", whatever that means. That's not to say Kage hasn't engaged in battle with Neer before, it's just that you get the idea that it's pretty much sitting in the back of Neer's mind all the time.

But as far as the requisite A vs. B thing, Dragoneer and Kage pretty much comes down to "they're both losers", except Dragoneer is more of a WoW-and-Code-Red type loser, whereas Kage is the sexually awkward middle aged man who really can't get comfortable with the weird shit he likes to fap to.

Neer is better because he's the more overt douchebag. None of that OOO I'M SOOO CULTURED WITH MY FAGGOTY WINE AND ALSO I'M TOTALLY A REAL SCIENTIST NOT THE GUY WHO CARRIES URINE SAMPLES TO THE LAB TOTALLY FOR REAL. That makes Neer awesome.

[rodox_video]

Neer is worse than Kage because he ASPIRES to be Kage. He'd ban Chewfox again if he got to do that shit all over again, and so would Kage. The coddling of sexual predators pattern would continue if there was an ample supply of those in his circle; there aren't at this moment, but give him time.

Kage can pretend to be professional, and he can keep a lid on whatever nasty shit has gone on behind the curtain. He's been in this game for what, 10 years? More? The skeletons in his closet must make Dragoneer's look like lighthearted comedy.
