Anthony was told repeatedly by management and Opie to stop doing Compound shows as they were so low class that Sirius nor anyone else wanted to be associated with them. And the high risk and stupid behaviors Anthony was displaying were jeopardizing the entire show as he was doing things that would attract a lot of negative attention to all of them. Plus it was making Sirius and everyone else look unprofessional as their most popular and highest paid shows featured one of the leads doing free shows from his basement whilst blackout drunk.
Imagine Howard Stern, Imus, or Rush Limbaugh, or someone from ESPN, being blackout drunk and slurring into a microphone in their basements at 2AM and management not asking them "what the hell are you doing?". Though Artie Lange on Joe Buck was practically this but with heroin instead. And was in a $20million Manhattan HBO studio instead of a basement.
So why didn't management also crack down on Anthony's other social media rantings and lunacy? Like his Twitter? Because that would mean getting rid of Opie's Twitter and Youtube. So Anthony kept his Twitter and so did Opie. And Opie kept his Youtube account as well to post not only Sirius and O&A related content but also his own personal stuff like viral video attempts. Why let Anthony keep Twitter when it was just as possible for him to self destruct using it as his home broadcasts? It seemed like everyone had just given up on Anthony at that point.
Anthony's early Compound shows were proof that he could not be trusted on his own to have his own show. And that without management or someone like Opie watching him he would simply become rapidly unhinged. By the end of the show his race rants on O&A and on social media were daily. *Candy Crush noises*. Well before 'scaffolding photography' night he was going on rants on social media and the show and obsessing over race. But not in any sort of intelligent way like an FBI agent or historian. It was race rants on the level of a 12-year-old who had just read the back blurb on a Colin Flaherty book. Anthony was basically ramping up for the big escalation into just calling them niggers and wishing them death. Probably at this point everyone including Opie and Norton were just waiting for him to say something that would get him or all of them fired.
And keep in mind that almost no one cared about Trayvon or any other dumb nigger. It was just that Anthony's race rants were almost never factual. And they were never entertaining. Listen to stuff like the Hat Removal Service and how the show handled niggers being animals. Versus how Anthony handled the Trayvon death.
After Anthony was fired though he initially was still loved by O&A fans. And Opie and Norton were looked at like traitors. Anthony was the martyr for free speech and censorship. And Opie and Norton were corporate tools and backstabbers. But it didn't take long for that to change. As a year and a half later Anthony would be arrested for beating his girlfriend so badly that she had fractured bones. And had his guns confiscated by police. This despite Keith's best efforts to make everything disappear.
A few years later Anthony would generally be hated by everyone. The O&A fandom. The Pests. Lots of his new fans walked away from him. Opie was done with him forever. The Cellar comics mostly hate him including guys like Burr blacklisting him from their lives. He was banned from the Patrice benefit and no one objected. And it is only a matter of time before his new crowd of right wing grifter weirdos have to walk away from him for some reason. His own personal meltdowns over failed roast jokes and Sue Lightning and everyone else would just keep piling onto him endlessly.
The amount of humiliating things that Anthony has endured since getting fired could fill multi-volume encyclopedia.
Oh...You were finished?? Well allow me to retort...
Post your contact info so we can sue you for libel.
Oh, what? You can’t do that? Why not? I’m sure you have ample proof to back your ridiculously malicious and false accusations of misogyny, alleged acts of racism, legal charges of pedophilia, and the rest of your bullshit buzz-words that are used by millennials like you, who with no conscience whatsoever throw around those once very powerful words for the sole purpose of gaining the upper hand and public support of your constituents whenever you get involved in an altercation. Problem is, most people have a hard time believing anonymous users on a site known for using these tactics in an attempt to damage reputations and interfere with ones right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness (sound vaguely familiar?)
The core purpose your forum is driven by envy, jealousy, failure, having no sense of purpose in your life and the desire to be prominent amongst of your equally dysfunctional pals on your ever diminishing platform. They’ve now become the magically shrinking Kiwi Farms. Good move not using an kf related name.
You’re now constantly being attrited and for good and wholesome reasons...Good will always triumph over evil.
Read on:
What this poster hasn’t mentioned is that every last DMCA that has been filed by myself, either on my own or with legal authorization by others who wish they had the time and energy to do so, are completely and totally legitimate and legal. There’s nothing false or illegal about the DMCA’s that I’ve filed. All Photos and videos on the internet were taken by someone, therefore someone owns the copyright to every last one of those photos and videos. I’m thorough in my filing. The sub just has too many ignorant members that don’t listen to the more logical moderators, and refrain from posting photos and videos that are reportable. They’re blinded by their desire to have their 15 mins and more importantly by their very real and palpable hatred.
Reddit has too much to lose and will never take the stance of a “Kiwi Farms” type of forum that a few sociopathic individuals run in their Moms house. They’re doing the only thing they can, taking infringing content down. If and when Reddit Legal receives enough of those legitimate DMCA’s they shut down the sub. It’s really that simple. So for Johnny Cakes, Frunkass, and the other dozen or so sociopaths on that sub who suck all the fun out of what a subreddit is supposed to be... and fantasize about a lawsuit against me.... I have one word... SUBPOENA. Stop already.
I’ve filed 100’s of legitimate DMCA’s over the past several months, admittedly with the sole intention of having Opie and Anthony related subs banned. They’ve dedicated themselves to libel, harassment, and outright real-life bullying on and off the sub. Not just name calling and ridicule. I could care less about that. Their anonymity is what empowers them to post libelous and defamatory content. If not for that anonymity, which I believe is the reason for them not filing a single counter claim, they would find themselves in civil court facing a large number of defamation and libel suits by many of their “victims”.
There’s a reoccurring pattern of them using my intellectual property as Illustrations to accompany their ridiculous accusations of projected (typically) pedophilia, misogyny, anti-Semitism, Homosexuality etc... toward my family, friends and myself. They’re in the habit of using other individuals Intellectual property to drive home their abysmal message of hatred and libel.
So Again, there’s been nothing illegal about any of the DMCA’s I’ve filed. For me to do so would be a dire mistake on my part. I’m achieving the desired results playing by the rules. Why jeopardize that? REMINDER: This sub has gone so far as to brigade and bully my employers to the point of them letting me go from a few of my jobs, all in the name of “having fun picking on old guys”. That’s the only reason they’ve ever given for their atrocious behavior. This sub brigades to the point of bullying venues, agencies and other people in the entertainment industry into avoiding me, by utilizing dozens of anonymous emails and phone calls...many using the names of past Opie and Anthony guests, show members and friends to further try to get my attention and aggravate.
This particular sub consisting mainly of envious millennials loves to reiterate the fact that I’m 60 and for the most part retired (according to the sub”70 and near death”) and that I have a stream of income due to business dealings with my brother. They like to call it “welfare”, and are constantly mocking the fact that I have income that’s not worked for. They like to call me a leech. Why they do this is beyond me. In addition to the fact that they think I’m a bum, they put a large amount of effort into taking my work (which they call a hobby) away from me and my band members.
It became personal for me when the sub (and it’s 7 or so now banned predecessors) started harassing and bullying my 11 year old daughter, my deceased Mother, My innocent Sister, and my longtime GF, all for the purpose of trying to rile me up and get a reaction out of me to use as fodder for the sub. Interfering with my every day real-life has become a game of sorts for them, supposedly it was brought upon by a comment I made some years back. “You have no effect on my life”.... meaning that an internet forum that shit-talks people...especially people with any amount of notoriety, has the absolute right to do so, but in reality..does nothing to affect my bottom line $ or my real world reputation.
I support 1A, I defended that right, amongst others. by serving in the Army for 3yrs. (another fact that this particular subreddit seems to love mocking) People have the right to say what they want. When it became a “challenge” for the sub to get my attention, they took it to the next level. That’s where the line between 1A right and libelous accusations that damage ones reputation, employability and the right to live a life undeterred by malicious internet trolls was crossed. All for the sake of getting someone’s attention and having “fun” hurting a “boomer”.
My Reddit post karma alone is clear evidence of brigading. The downvoting that this comment alone will incur by the brigading, bee hive mentality of the O&A related sub shows that there’s collusion amongst the members of this subreddit and its moderators to do real life damage to certain people they see as “less than human”. Phone calls to my business and texts to my business number calling for my untimely death, taunting, horrific allegations...All of that means ZERO to me. Commentary about me and my brother written and posted on the sub, means nothing to anyone but the sub.
When my family became the focus of the Opie and Anthony leftover psychopaths, it Became a problem that needed to be dealt with.
I liken what I’ve been FORCED to do (DMCA’s) with something that I was always intrigued with:
When Chicago mobster and really really bad guy, Al Capone (aka The Sub), was on a rampage against his enemies in the 20-30’s (Innocent Family and Friends) the Feds couldn’t imprison him for murder (aka- the subs libelous and malicious harassment and real life bullying, job interference, Doxxing my 11 year old daughters info). They did finally find a way to make his empire (aka- Opie and Anthony subreddit) crumble though fervently prosecuting him for the the less serious crime (but serious enough to get the job done) of tax evasion (aka-Copyright Infringement). They went another way entirely to get the desired results for the purpose of removing an evil, evil man from civilized society.
I (we) will continue to report this evil sub and file legitimate and legal DMCA’s at every turn until it’s gone.
Stop interfering with people’s real lives and livelihoods, and we’ll leave your stupid sub alone. Plain and simple.
