Need help, trying to get an autograph for best friend's birthday

Perhaps if you posted some photos of the female friend this is for, it would humanize the request. Put a face to it, so to speak.

Again with the autograph request! You're like an Arfin with a bone! I'm starting to think you don't care about us at all!

In all honesty, I would find the possibility of you getting an autograph through this board extremely, extremely remote. Personal message Seth or Eddie; I don't think anyone else on here has any real pull. Perhaps our poor treatment of you will encourage them to look upon you kindly?


Thank you, would you kindly tell me Seth and Eddie's handles so I can PM them?
Wow, I didn't realize you guys took my cause elsewhere.  I thought the thread had just turned into (failed) attempts to get me constantly looking over my shoulder.  I appreciate it!
dang this thread has some legs

right, and walalce was a troll.  a worthy target.  good riddance.

but sgoldberg08?  they seems like a nice person trying to do something nice for a friend.  they clearly have a sense of humor, putting up with 5 pages of shinanigans.  unless i've missed something here, there is no reason to dox this person per your misplaced call to arms:

Who will be first to post an actual picture of this guy and risk a ban? Kosmo, what sort of mood are you in today?
Today we are all Goldberg.
No one doxxed this guy. Running a google search on an email address is not doxxing. No one has posted any personally identifiable info of this guy on here, unless his dog's name counts. People confirmed he is a real person, not an atomic/Brian Wallace. Whatever info anyone has found, they haven't posted it or done anything with it, to the best of my knowledge.

And I also did not call anyone to arms. I, in no way, encouraged anyone to post a picture of the guy and alluded to the (proper) punishment for doing so: a ban.



There, it's out in the open.  That's me, and below is my dog, Arfin (though he prefers to go by Arf, Arfie, or Derp).  I really am just trying to do something nice for a friend. 

While I'm starting to doubt this is going to happen, I still appreciate the help I've gotten so far.  I'm at least closer than I was before.
Hey arfie . . . I got dibs, on that leg!

Google Reverse Image Search shows neither of those photos showing up anywhere else, although the visually similar images results for the first one is a rather humorous collection.
You know, if Julian was really a community organizer he would probably have some sort of "welcome" package for new folks rather than creepily discussing ways to stalk them or goading them into posting pictures of themselves, their pets, and/or their female friends.  Just sayin'

Sorry, gonna respect her privacy and decline to post any pictures of her.  Suffice it to say she's a normal looking girl with brown hair and a pretty smile.  You'll have to close your eyes and use some imagination past that.

I think you misunderstood my use of "organizer." You're thinking I meant "guy who helps grow the community," whereas I meant more of a "organize a mob" type thing. Easy mistake to make!

That said, if sgoldberg08 will PM me his address, I will prepare him a welcome package which will, sadly, not include an autographed photo of a band I'd never heard of until yesterday but, happily, will include my famous gluten-free, sugar-free vegan banana cookies!

Regular like.  She's a longtime friend.  I'm married (I would've thought you knew that already…).

I don't normally put in this level of effort for birthday presents, but the timing was there and she deserves it.

I disagree completely. People show up here from time to time requesting autographs or backstage passes and are summarily ignored. If anything, the actions of Yada and myself have brought this guy's attempt more attention than it ever would've gotten otherwise and have ballooned this to a 80+ post thread in less than a day.
