Lots of people don’t understand the damage conspiracy theory can do to a person’s mind. When a conspiracy theorist lunatic starts talking about the Rockefellers, the Illuminati, or even the Jews, many people don’t have much of a reaction since the Rockefellers, etc. are far away, non-existent in the case of the Illuminati, or just too vague in the case Jews or Rockefellers. Conspiracy theorists don’t just attack nebulously defined groups. They attack individuals. Birtherism is the best example of this. Conspiracy theorist attacks on individuals aren’t just against public figures like Barack Obama. Go to conspiracy theorists blogs and forums, and there will lots of accusations against various readers of those blogs and forums of being disinformation agents. Conspiracy theory doesn’t just lead to paranoia about groups or public figures, but to neighbors and other relatively unimportant individuals. Paranoia about groups and public figures go hand in hand with paranoia against no name individuals.
As the man-0-sphere is filled with conspiracy theory, it shares this pervasive paranoia. Many of them believe that anyone who disagrees with game is the same person. Forne-darmu thinks Pro-Male/Anti-Feminist Tech and I are the same person. Susan Walsh has repeatedly lied about me and other people and even pushed conspiracy theories that PMAFT, TFH, and I were in league to depopulate the world. Knowing that the man-0-sphere is this paranoid, I wasn’t surprised to find out Susan Walsh has gotten more paranoid against other man-o-spherians. The first was about man-0-spherian, Bastiat Blogger.
Speaking of former soldiers, Susan Walsh claimed that bastiat blogger, a frequent and eloquent commenter at HUS (and now justfourguys) and a former SEAL, was a hoax and the main reason for shutting down her comments and doing the reboot. She claimed that a reader (or readers) sent her info proving that the good looking man in the gravatar photo was not him and that his stories were fake. Susan is very prone to making false accusations and wild emotional proclamations that are not based in any reality but her own solipsistic self righteousness. Once again, she has tried to unjustly stick the knife into a male commenter (like she falsely accused Desiderius).
Bastiat has put up this post, basically proving that he is the guy in the photo by showing the scar he has (in the “hot” picture that Susan claims is not him).

So Susan has been caught in her false accusation and made to look the fool once more.
Bastiat also adds in this current picture with a nice F U to Susan et al. for accusing him of being a catfish hoaxer. Notice the same scar between his eyes as in the more “professional” picture at his blog?

Susan Walsh’s insane paranoid is limited to Bastiat Blogger. She also accused several man-0-spherians associated with the dalrock blog of threatening to murder her and her family.

I must agree earnestly with your assessment.
Earlier this year, Susan Walsh claimed that several regular commenters on this blog had threatened the health and safety of her family during the holiday season, 2012. She posted those accusations repeatedly on her blog, even alluding to some sort of grand conspiracy orchestrated by the author/editor(s) of dalrock blog.
I appeared, asking for evidence of this, on her “hooking up smart” blog, which is where she was seeking sympathy and attention. She had repeatedly written that these threats were made here on dalrock, and went so far as to claim the threats were still online.
While I was skeptical, I wanted to give her the benefit of the doubt, and I would have openly mocked and laughed at anyone who made kooky threats toward her and her husband and children.
When I asked for a link to these threats to murder/rape/harm her, she first waffled, then told me to search for them myself, then finally she deleted my request for evidence, claiming that I was a dalrock bot and alluding to the fact that I was a dangerous person myself.
The conclusion I came to is that anyone who mildly disagrees with Ms. Walsh in an internet argument runs the risk of later being rewritten as a “stalker/rapist/murderer” by this attention-whoring perpetual victim. Most of her accusations seem to be fantasies which exist only between her ears, and I’d urge any of her readers to be skeptical of any further accusations by her, without some corroborating evidence.
The exchange did leave me with a great deal of sympathy for her husband and children. I can’t imagine having to deal with such a nutcase on a daily basis, and I’m sure her family suffers regularly from her “creative” historical revisionism.
What we have here is a repeated pattern of insanity and paranoia from Susan Walsh similar to other individuals in the man-0-sphere. Being in the man-0-sphere makes a person paranoid against anyone and everyone including other man-0-spherians.
