Anyway if you all want to know more about lionnoisy:
He is a well known troll and troublemakers in sgforums, in fact
he even resorted to the use of fake user accounts in order to
create "support" for himself...
MAKEPEACE,
MAKE CLONES?
A REPORT ON
ATTEMPTED ASTROTURFING AND SOCKPUPPETING BY
LIONNOISY
a lion puppet
For those who wondered what happened.
Lionnoisy created a clone called "makepeace" which he used in
speakers corner to further his own agenda, trying to give people
the impression that there are others out there that would agree
with him.
Unfortunately he did a very poor job of hiding it.
This kind of behaviour is called sockpuppeting, ie. creating a
false online identity to praise, defend or create the illusion of
support for one’s self, allies or company.
A sockpuppet is an online identity used for purposes of
deception within an Internet community. In its earliest
usage, a sockpuppet was a false identity through which a member of
an Internet community speaks while pretending not to, like a
puppeteer manipulating a hand puppet.[1]
In current usage, the perception of the term has been extended
beyond second identities of people who already post in a forum to
include other uses of misleading online identities. For example, a
NY Times article claims that
"sock-puppeting" is defined as "the act of creating a fake online
identity to praise, defend or create the illusion of support for
one’s self, allies or company."[2]
The key difference between a sockpuppet and a regular pseudonym (sometimes termed an "alt")
is the pretense that the puppet is a third party who is not
affiliated with the puppeteer.
To "flame wars" and "phishing" we can now add "sock
puppet." A sock puppet, for those still
boning up, is a false identity through which a member of an
Internet community speaks while pretending not to, like a puppeteer
manipulating a hand puppet. Recently, a senior editor at The New
Republic got in trouble for some particularly colorful sock
puppetry.
When Lee Siegel began blogging for The New Republic, he found,
as many others have, that Internet posters tend to be fairly
outspoken — and a good number of the posters on the blog were
harshly critical. An exception was ''sprezzatura,'' who regularly
offered extravagant praise. After Mr. Siegel was criticized for his
writing about Jon Stewart, host of ''The Daily Show,'' sprezzatura
wrote: ''Siegel is brave, brilliant and wittier than Stewart will
ever be. Take that, you bunch of immature, abusive sheep.'' A
reader charged that sprezzatura was in fact Mr. Siegel, but
sprezzatura denied it.
The reader turned out to be right. ...
After making some lame and hasty excuse about his account being
hacked, lionnoisy suddenly abandoned all this threads in
which him being sockpuppeting was being mentioned.
Unfortunately his excuse cannot stand up to logic as he was seen
responding to and talking back TO HIS OWN ACCOUNT.
This is what happened:
29th April 0932hrs a "user" called "makepeace" that had never
posted before created a lionnoisy-sounding titled thread
called "Oz Judge ban TV drama & interview glorify
gangland wars "
Already suspisions were raised because the structure and
phrasing of the title was signature of lionnoisy. The first post by
this "makepeace" was as such:

5.u can learn

6.Questions
A.Why the media want to air the interview while the trial
is still on?
B.How are the gang activities in Down Under?
C.Am i look like anti--Oz?
D.How true are the postings in 3 and 4 listed above.
i dunt expect the there are so many details about
Oz gangsters.Can any one tell me more?
Note that other then for the user name, this post is virtually
indistinguishable from the countless of other lionnoisy posts we
can compare it with. The excessive reliance on the media, posting
of hyperlinks, using warped logic that takes issues out of their
context, and most tellingly the horrible english which make typos
and grammatical errors right down to what lionnoisy would EXACTLY
make is exactly what you'd expect from lionnoisy.
Hence
lionnoisy must have been someone disappointed because after 20
minutes still nobody bothered to reply to his post under makepeace.
Hence he decided to bump his own thread.
But
after a few lackluster replies, he finally decided to "talk" to
makepeace

I cant believe there are
so many killings
in the above links
!!!
More excited than
Holloywood movies!!
Note the bad acting, where he
pretended to be "excited" and "surprised" about what he wrote
himself.
Now this is the funny part, if his account was really
hacked as he claimed it to be, he would certainly not be replying
back to his "hacked" account so happily in such a way.
But in any case when he was exposed he made this very funny,
frantic and desperate post trying to suddenly divorce himself from
the actions of his sockpuppetry by claiming he was hacked.
Unfortunately all a basic look at the thread will reveal what
really happened, and that is nothing other then lionnoisy was
caught red-handed sockpuppeting.

And some screencaps, so the evidence is preserved:
"mysterous" makepeace appears:
and of course his own excited and poorly acted "reply" to his
own clone.
and his own desperate and feeble attempts to wriggle out of the
situtation:
LOL, what a joker!
