To Be Or Not To Be Anonymous

Robert Priddy is a hypocritical equivocator who can’t make up his mind whether or not anonymous online identities are good or bad. Robert Priddy has no problem when he disperses numerous slurs, defamations, accusations, stories, “testimonies”, hearsay accounts, rumors, gossip and allegations from people who are completely anonymous on his Anti-Sai websites. However, when it comes to anonymous Sai Baba Proponents, Robert Priddy gnashes his teeth, foams at the mouth and raises a huge cry about how anonymity is a shield for “cowardly creatures hiding under a stone” and for people lacking “personal integrity”. Let us take a look at a few comments made by Robert Priddy about anonymity and anonymous online identities:

“Daren’t you put your name to your abusive comments. I see you are using different anonymous IPs - registered in Texas, but you are in UK I know.You got my mail and I reckon it stings to hear the truth.Perhaps you can explain why Sai Baba lied outright about me… that I do this for money, and that I am ‘jealous’ Ha ha!! You see, I KNOW he is a liar.

I was never disgruntled because of lack of attention - I had enough interviews and after I learned what he is really up (you know well what I mean!) to I would not want to go near him under any circumstances!

Pitiful that you haven’t the courage to stand forth like a man! So much for your personal integrity! Of course, your comments to Wordpress will never be posted… unless you should come to your senses.

“Surnames and locations, if you please! I want to know who wrote this e-mail and takes full responsibility for it. If none of you dare so much even as to stand forth personally, you will be below contempt for the whole world of decent people out here. You still try to hide in anonymity behind an alleged ‘group’. In this way you still flaunt your ingenuousness and show that you have no understanding of how smears by nameless people affect the big world out here. So this is a big test for you. Come on, don’t be chicken-livered… full and controllable identities of every one of you… and no false names among them, mind you.”

“We are upright and not afraid, like you, Linda whoever you are… for you dare not even give your proper full name like all the many cowardly and cheap slanderers from the Sai camp (but your IP is 211.29.53.15 from Australia). “

“You sign you e-mail ’support group’. In other words, an anonymous sender. Whether you are one person or a group, I wonder why you are unable to sign your name(s)? You may reply with full names and addresses, otherwise you will only prove to us that you are cowardly creatures hiding under a stone. “

However, when Robert Priddy used the anonymous online identity of “Lisa demoniser” on QuickTopic (Reference), not only did he attack a Sai Proponent anonymously, he defended the right of people to post anonymously on the internet! Robert Priddy said:

“You do not recognise the right of anonymity on the internet when it is to protect against demonisers like you claim to be! If anonymous posters are cowardly, then millions are cowards.” (Reference)

Of course, Robert Priddy’s comments directly contradict his former position that anonymous posters are “cowardly creatures hiding under a stone” and are people who lack “personal integrity”. Apparently, when Robert Priddy is posting under fake names and under the guise of anonymity, he thinks he is perfectly entitled to do so without being a “cowardly creature” or compromising his “personal integrity”.

Robert Priddy attempted to create an anonymous website attacking me on AngelTowns2 (Reference), but I recognized the folder name and easily identified him as the webmaster. Robert Priddy even attempted to post anonymously on Digg.com as “truthpromoter” and only divulged his name after I exposed his identity there. Robert Priddy posted anonymously on the QuickTopic forum using the names “Lisa demoniser” and “bandbox” (Reference).

However, Robert Priddy is not the only Anti-Sai Activist caught posting under multiple, fake and anonymous identities. Reinier Van Der Sandt posted under multiple fake names on the SathyaSaiBaba2 Yahoo Group and was forced to concede that he had engaged in dishonest behavior (Refs: 01 - 02). Robert Priddy, Sanjay Dadlani, Tony O’Clery, Barbara Dent and UsedByBaba collectively posted under 90+ fake identities on QuickTopic (even using the names of Pro-Sai Activists, including my name: Reference).

You will not find even one single reprimand or apology from Robert Priddy about the proven fake names and anonymous posts made by Anti-Sai Activists. This proves that Robert Priddy is a hypocrite and a biased and bitter extremist who cannot reconcile his precept with practice. All Robert Priddy can do is blindly accuse others of “libel”, “dirty tricks” and “ad hominem” attacks without referencing or sourcing his comments to anything factual or verifiable.

This is the guy who is attempting to "expose" Sathya Sai Baba. The more Robert Priddy says, the less I have to defend. He makes the case for me that he is dishonest, bitter, vindictive and deeply conflicted. Thank you, Mr Priddles.
