NEW YORK (AP) -- A man was arrested Thursday after he allegedly claimed in hoax Internet videos that he had poisoned millions of bottles of baby food, some with cyanide or rat poison, because he wanted to kill black and Hispanic children.
Gerber Products Co. and the Food and Drug Administration have found no evidence of tampering.

Gerber Products Co. and the Food and Drug Administration have found no evidence of tampering with Gerber products. The company was flooded with complaints after people saw the videos, the FDA said.
Authorities said Anton Dunn caused to be posted on the Internet three videos of himself in which he boasted about the poisonings and said he could not be caught.
Dunn, 42, of New York, was charged with sending threats in interstate commerce and falsely claiming to have tampered with a consumer product, crimes that carry a potential penalty of 10 years in prison upon conviction.
A U.S. District Court judge ordered Dunn held until a bail hearing on Tuesday. His lawyer, Sarah Baumgartel, had no comment outside court.
In a statement, Gerber's parent company, Nestle Nutrition, said it believed the Internet postings were a "malicious hoax" and the company was cooperating with authorities.
"The safety of Gerber and Nestle Nutrition products is our top priority," it said.
In court papers, FDA agent Michael Felezzola wrote that a Gerber representative on April 20 reported a threatening video entitled "gerbersbabyfoodalert" had been posted on YouTube.
In the 10-minute video, apparently recorded in a shower stall, a man identified as Trashman said Gerber employees acting at his direction had poisoned millions of bottles of baby food with the intent to kill babies.
Authorities said the person appearing on the videos was Dunn and he sometimes wore a mask that partially covered his face. Subsequent videos stated that the poisoning would involve cyanide and rat poison, and that four babies had already died.
Dunn, who is black, claimed in a July 24 video that he was trying to kill black and Hispanic babies, though white babies also were likely to die, authorities said.
"Our main reason for doing this is we're trying to cut down on the black population," the video says.

Monkeyed. But yeah, I haven't seen him on AIM come to think of it..

He left cause he couldn't stand losing all of his arguments, and was subsequently monkeyed.
Doubtful it's the same guy.

God I love that movie

Oh? I thought his ban expired a fortnight ago.
-
And then he asked for a renewal.
-
...what? :wtf:

/me clicks Lobo's link.
Oh yeah, it was that post that did it...I think I'm getting cross-eyed.
-
Trashman usually gets monkeyed for a week or so, comes back, gets on karajorma's really bad side within three posts of getting back, and gets monkeyed again.
-
And such activity must be rather frustrating for kara, hence the fact that it was a month this time.

Well, if I tried to put myself in karajorma's shoes, I only have a vague idea of how frustrating it must be to ban someone, then wait for him to come back, hoping that he would be good, but ending up feeling sorely disappointed and banning him again. At least Trashman helps the community in some way, not like some Wikipedian who instigated edit wars simply because he couldn't agree with consensus.
-
Who was that?
-
His username was V-Dash. Friday eventually blocked him after the admin deemed him to be "not of constructive influence".
Links follow:
His talk page, before the admins blanked it with a sockpuppet template (http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:V-Dash&oldid=184559411)
His block log. The admins aren't usually this lenient. (http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:Log/block&page=User:V-Dash)
Sockpuppet case filed against him. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Requests_for_checkuser/Case/V-Dash)
One of his one-against-all disputes... (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Pok%C3%A9mon_Diamond_and_Pearl#Eh.3F)
...and another one. (http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Talk:Pok%C3%A9mon_Diamond_and_Pearl&oldid=170007830#This_game_is_an_RPG)
In the final link, I also joined in the discussion a little as User:A. Exeunt, or Altiris Helios Exeunt, as per my signature.
By the way, I was looking at TrashMan's title. Where did that come from?
-
Karajorma graced him with it thanks to his arguing style
-
Actually it was Goober. Mine was less complimentary. :p
-
:lol: another Hard-Light benchmark in history.
-
It seems that Goober's usually the one who comes up with the titles. ;)
-
All those monkeyings finally got to him.
You only wish. For starters I don't live in New York :P
getting to me? My mind is fortress - you'd need a tactical nuke to get to me.
He left cause he couldn't stand losing all of his arguments, and was subsequently monkeyed.
Doubtful it's the same guy.
Rumors. Purely rumors spread by those of evi lintent. I haven't left - yet.
Not to mention that my debating track record is rather solid. Wether you think I lost my argument and weather I really have - those are two different things.
Well, if I tried to put myself in karajorma's shoes, I only have a vague idea of how frustrating it must be to ban someone, then wait for him to come back, hoping that he would be good, but ending up feeling sorely disappointed and banning him again.
Try putting yourself in my shoes for a change. How frustrating it must be to get baned over nothing by people on a power trip. If anyone is dissapointed here, it's me. Besides, I'm always good - I've never broke any forum rule on any forum so far.
As to when and how all this started....I'm not sure anymore. Methinks some time after kaj got admin powers. We used to debate and argue and often be on opposite sides (sometimes on the same side - go figure), but it was all friendly and stuff. And I respected him.
Methinks what started it was one topic about..can't really recall. something with women. I recall one female forum member being insulted by my use of term "fairer sex" and me getting banned for that. I'm not easily surprised, but that caught me right off-guard... :lol:
It all went down hill from there.
-
Well, if it's of any consolation to you, TrashMan, Goober called me a jackass for using :rolleyes: in three consecutive posts.
-
Could be stress...Sometimes, people just have a really bad day and you just happen to be unlucky enough to be the vent. Happens. Modern life and all that jazz.

Actually, I was fairly beaten up after having to endure the anguish of editing too many articles on the FreeSpace Wiki. I've got the image attached to this post (http://www.hard-light.net/forums/index.php/topic,53623.msg1128128.html#msg1128128).

I haven't left - yet.
Keep it that way Trashman, i love your models.
-
Come to think of it, I haven't seen him for a while :nervous:
Well he was Monkeyed. And IIRC he lives in Croatia or something like that.
-
Well good to have you back even though I don't agree with you. But I really am not in the mood for having a debate about whether or not you deserved your punishment, so why don't we all just not talk about it?

Careful, Trash. She wasn't insulted, and don't try to blame her. I was, and so were many others. You can't single out a 'sensitive woman' as the cause of it, because she wasn't the one who complained. I did. And I'm fairly sure you were banned for your behavior, not for that particular phrase, though of course I can't speak for the moderators.
The only thing worse than casual misogyny is blindly casual misogyny. But let's not get this started again; I've said my piece.
-
The problem is Trashman, is that you are convinced that it is being done by people on a power trip, and refuse, outright, to consider your own part in it.
As long as you do that, you will keep making the same mistakes over and over again.
I don't think you were wholly guilty for getting banned, and I think people started over-reacting, the problem is, you out and out refused to admit you were being rude and offensive at times, and that landed you in more trouble.
-
Let me be the first to request this thread be locked, it's been OT for two pages anyway.
-
I went over my part over and over. I wonder if others did the same?
I really don't care who exactly was insulted by my words, what I do know is that there was nothing to be logicely insulted about (unless taken woefully out of context and streched and butchered beyond recognition).
I always check what I type and try to put it straightforward enough so that the meaning is clear and so I don't insult anyone - in this I go way further then most people on the net - but it's still a mostly fuitile endaveour.
Sometimes you just can't say some things without someone getting insulted or getting the wrong idea (happens way too often for my liking).
I'll give you the plain, uncut truth - I'm a resident member on more forums than I can count (and most of those are serious forums, run by companies). I post regularry. I often copy/paste the same "contraversal" posts into other forums (since many discussion topics repeat themselves)
This is the only forum I ever had any problem of any kind. For the exactly same topics/post. Go figure.
I don't mind admitting I'm wrong nor sitting quietly in the corner when the other guy is right. But when he's not that I simply can't and won't do it. I'm alergic to injustice and attempts to shut me up when one doesn't like what I say.
I may sometimes come off as rude and offensive, but I suggest you go re-read those post. You'd notice that I haven't even started compared to other guys. Heck, I'm usually the last one in any fight to throw an insult. Go ahead. Check how many times during various discussion have I been called names long before the first (even vauge) insult from my side is thrown. And suddenly I'm the bad guy here.
Bah.. At this point I don't think anyone is interested in who started it and who is right/wrong anymore. It's just boring the hell out of anyone so I won't go further with this.
EDIT:
General Battuta - I wasn't blaming her. You might want to check my wording a bit better.
-
I think you do a lot of good stuff for the community, Trash. You're a good modeler. So let's just put this behind us.
-
Yup. It's probably for the best.
-
And on that high note... locked.
