Where's Deiter?

greenspun.com : LUSENET : TimeBomb 2000 (Y2000) : One Thread

Deiter uses a writing style known as "chaos" among the younger set.

I copied this from another thread.

Another AOL member, using the handle "AzMstr17" warns about a fight against the "Power Boyz" -- and declares that "cOlUmBInE HigH ScHoOl SuCks".

Talk to us Deiter, tell us it wasn't you!

Yea, I noticed that also, and haven't seen Dieter post in a while. And they did say there was a Y2K connection. Hummm, where are you Dieter? <:)=

Deiter has tossed his last salad. R.I.P. good buddy.

DiETeR --

We are NoT infidels! We believe in you!

If you are too sad today, come back tomorrow!

What I saw of Dieter's messages seemed particularly to be non-english english. Perhaps, German in construction. The Columbine High School student-shooter uses a particularly violent American slang in the example that you provide. Also this example seems to be replete with references to a variety of gay and violent sexual activities. Either that or the slang has changed a lot in the last few years. Still, I am surprised that no keen-eyed investigating reporter spotted the font similarities between Dieter and this boy. I guess all those internet interns aren't on the ball. At least, not until we point it out, underline it a few times, use CAPS, and add some exclamation marks!

I'd bet the farm and two sacks of beans that that is NOT OUR DIETER! With all his ranting and raving, he has never said things that one would take to heart and be hurt by. Our Dieter is "special" and I have missed him.

Dieter stills posts, though now he posts as Uncle Deedah.

What? Stan?

-- Donna Barthuley (moment@pacbell.net), April 22, 1999.

DieTEr is on tour with the Magnificent and Colossal Yourdon Y2K Circus...somewhere in the continental US...he is probably at this moment poised to be shot out of our famous Cannon, not to be confused with Pachelbel's Canon. Did that critter get a cel phone link for his laptop?

-- Donna Barthuley (moment@pacbell.net), April 22, 1999.

who cares where he is? I don't. If he is even remotely connected with that group that killed those innocents..he is not worth worrying about. Where is the sense of compassion? The style of writing is not conducive to helping humanity.. it is animalistic, even has a sense of evil. Why aren't you all incensed...and who gives a rip about those teenagers...they were evil. Death is a fitting end for them...and for anyone who sympathizes with the bizzarre and dark side of things...

Hyenas? Beavers? We can cage them all if he wants to come back. C

getagrip,...GET A Grip!....DieTer is a regular troll at these fora...he is only good for being shot from a cannon, and in no way has the wherewithal to blitz a building and create terror.

As a matter of fact you and the original poster of this thread might be trolls...not as useful as DIeTer, of course, but trolls, nonetheless. Go find a PlayStation somewhere, and leave us alone.

-- Donna Barthuley (moment@pacbell.net), April 22, 1999.


you know, if you look a little bit on the net, you can find text processors that automaticly convert straight text into cracker-speak a.k.a. chaos. If you go back and look at Dieter's posts he's using such a text processor as the letter transposition is too even for it to be otherwise - unlike the piece quoted off of aol.

*sigh* you gotta wonder where these trolls come up with their ideas....

How odd.

The above speculation over Dieter was strangely alarming. I am relieved to find DiEteR is well. One characteristic I have noticed about his posts is he *never* misspells words. Ok, so he uses a spell checker...but what a juxtaposition: spell checker and chaos generator!

-- Elbow Grease (Elbow_Grease@AutoShop.com), April 23, 1999.



Go DiETEr!!!!! I love you. In an insane world you make sense to me.

-- Donna Barthuley (moment@pacbell.net), April 23, 1999.

Re: Dieter's spelling -- or, he's just good at spelling, which would be consistent with other demonstrated verbal skill.

Dieter,

Did you participate in school spelling bees?

One year at summer camp I learned songs including "Does Your Chewing Gum Lose Its Flavor On The Bedpost Overnight?" and the political protest ditty "Boston MTA (The Man Who Never Returned)" from a guitar-playing cabinmate who had recently been National Spelling Bee champion.

-- No Spam Please (No_Spam_Please@anon_ymous.com), April 23, 1999.


Well call me a fool. I always figured that Dieter was actually an intelligent adult and was having terrific fun with that online persona. Come on, admit it, how many of us would say exactly what he does if we weren't too busy fitting in cultural/social norms. Not that I want to be too nice to him mind you. That would ruin it. He IS a troll, after all.

FYI

DEitEr is really an artificial intelligence automaton which roams the internet and responds to the invocation "..deiter..". His creator let him lose in the Yourdon forum just to have a bit of fun with us. He is a perfect guest and a provocative one. Every time a string with the letters d e i t e r in sequence appears in whatever context (such as "coDE IT ERic ") the automaton will activate itself and begin to engage the participants in a vitual dialog. A 'humor' module was added to its program (as well as an 'abuse' module) later in its development.

You have all been playing a part in an extensive artificial intelligence experiment unwittingly. Have fun!

-- David (C.D@I.N), April 23, 1999.


David, you are SO funny. Actually, I notified DiETeR (who is quite human) that his presence was requested on the forum. He graciously responded.

There 'he' is. I told you so. Hi DeITer! DeITer DeITer DeITer. Now I think that should get 'him' going. !8-)

-- David (C.D@I.N), April 23, 1999.

Gayla, you let the cat out of the cyber bag. Oh well!

-- David (C.D@I.N), April 23, 1999.

Dieter/deiter, my apologies for suspecting you. Actually, I'm really glad to know it wasn't you. :-)

For some of you others, nope, I'm not a troll, and not a polly.

Go back to sleep Dieter.
