So How Do Ron & Kirby Play The Game?

The most important thing you need to know, before you even start reading:

Ron sets up paranormal celebrities with trolling to drive traffic to his website.

I found Ron admitting this in other posts on a couple of discussion boards away from his website. He attacks people so they will come to his website to see what awful things he is writing or allowing to be written about them. This is how he brings in numbers. He wants the attention, no matter what it costs other people. Kirby is somewhat the same way, except that Kirby is not smart enough to know Ron is using him because Kirby goes after people so relentlessly.

This is how they play their game.

This is Ron being caught plotting with Kirby - after this comment they started being careful to not call me by name for awhile, just call me "that ill woman" and other epithets. It was a new move in their game.

Make no mistake about it, it is a game, made more fun for them if anyone takes the issues seriously - so they can have someone to bash. Just like in grade school, the bullies go after the serious people in the crowd.

Whether or not you, reading here, have been involved in this particular kind of harassment from this group, or have experienced something similar, you might want to keep the "rules of the game" in mind in case you run into this method sometime. It's like Tic Tac Toe: The only way to win the game is to never enter into it.

What is the game?

In the case of the Psychic Kids discussion page on facebook, the game was to take it down completely, by making themselves as big a problem as possible. Since they have discovered that facebook does little about the problem of group harassment, they have taken this for all they're worth. And since A & E is doing nothing about monitoring the page unless poked and prodded a lot, they have taken the open door for all its worth. Unmonitored pages are made for flamer gamers.

If you have been in on all the several rounds of this particular game (I hadn't, others have told me) you would notice you wouldn't find Ron Tebo's name on the page until people start talking about him. That's what he's looking for, that's what makes the game worth his time - mention his name, he's happy. Now - he will rarely say something in public that you will find mean. It's like, if any of you have seen the original Butch video he had up on youtube (which came down as soon as I started this blog) he acted polite and deferential in front of Butch, but when he was videotaping himself all alone, vicious Ron came out in private. This is his standard mode of operation. He's good at being a fake around other people unless you get him at a weak moment.

In order to "safely" bring mean Ron out in public, he'll form another sockpuppet account, or change a name on a sockpuppet account he has on facebook. One thing I noticed in September was sock puppets would have the same profile avatar or list of friends or interests, job, location, over and over again, but a different name on the page. A mistake was made at one point, because real people's pictures started being borrowed, and I recognized one, and noticed another was from an ad for a gay men's website.

Now, Kirby does the same thing with sockpuppets but is not clever about it. Ron will try to have a little more variety in the characters but will eventually let them go and you recognize his writing style. Kirby can't vary his writing style - he can just let mean Kirby out to play. If you have never seen anything but holy Kirby, go read letters at scifake.com, and you will see mean little Kirby boy come out - the phrasing will look familiar.

When sockpuppets aren't being used, willing accomplices from their small pool of friends will come out and help. I have no idea how many actual friends these two have, because it's all rather like watching one tennis match played with multiple balls on the court at the same time - you get whiplash trying to keep up. In accounts of their abuse recently, it seems there is a core group of five overgrown bullied. But the names change with each round. Some of the sockpuppet and drone names Psychic Kids fans on facebook will not forget any time soon are Said Erol (a drone, God of War on scifake.com), Savanah Barton (gegoriasgirl on the Internet among other names), Tommy Moon (he was the one who first said he was reporting me as a child predator) Izrope Nowiceit, and a few very strange people who dared put their real names up there along with fake ones. There have been lesser names, I won't go through the list here - but they have used a LOT of names. Ron actually boasts about his influence over people at times and in this example, his supposed domination over women: he addresses Jenn, a fan, about a drone in this comment made in April 2011:

More likely Ron would say pump up the volume. Or add to it with more and more attacks.

For now: this is what I have to contend with on the Internet :

All for a little game of mean.  What facts are there have been twisted, but no, I'm not a witch. That name was given to me because of the name of a dream I once had. I have no aliases. And I'm not marching kids into any psychic camps, but I'll not explain anything else for now. In the screenprint above, though the byline says Paula from Florida on the full screenprint, this sockpuppet is Ron. How do I know right off the bat? "IMO." He uses it a lot. It also has his usual misspellings. You will see RED FLAG used by other sockpuppets later on. I've gotten to know the writing style really well, and you'll see that style again in later screenprints with his name on the posts. Like here:

Let's shorten up the description of the game now: Ron and Kirby trade off "good cop, bad cop" methods, and bring in a group of people and puppets to vary the action, from any type like just "concerned person" to maniac poster. Friends and I got in the habit of looking at the profile of the poster first to see if any telltale puppet signs were visible. Most of the time there were. Sometimes it was just an inncoent bystander who just happened to question the show. But, for a little while, even they would be pulled into the cycle of abuse.

In the meantime, what did we do? Left the Psychic Kids official page to them and created a new moderated fan page, since A & E was not going to be a responsible pagemaster. All of them except one very sick obsessed drone immediately got bored and moved on.

The move to a moderated board hasn't stopped the game. They love the game. They are the game.

The game continues by pushing until someone breaks and lashes back. Then the person who is reacting is accused of abuses Ron Kirby & Co have done themselves - and it just keeps snowballing. It is a game that has no foreseeable end - until Ron or Kirby get tired. Or - pushes the wrong person's buttons someday. Who knows when. But wait - that's probably why they spend more time abusing women than men, because they are afraid some day, some guy is going to come after them. You can only play a game so long before someone takes it very seriously. I would prefer the law to take them in. We need laws against this kind of harassment. We don't have them. That's a recipe for disaster.

Here's some references to some of the other cruel games they have played. If you have any others send me the link.
