Using this thread as a bigger dump since just making a thread for each one seems to be too much... Post your stories for freaks on the net in here. Please try to restrict yourself to freaks with a considerable degree of fame or a historical importance or some other remarkable characteristic. Your average generic troll goes here: http://4-ch.net/net/kareha.pl/1112960050

Net-kook institutionalized - Ian Gomeche in custody!
http://www.gomechewatch.com/index.php
Since 29th July, Ian Keith Gomeche has been in custody. Held initially at HMP Craiginches, Aberdeen, for what is believed to be a breach of conditions relating to his appearance in court which was due this week, this has been a chance for the Procurator Fiscal's office to make strategic determinations about how to proceed with a number of serious cases, finally presented to them at the end of last week, supported by a mass of evidence gathered from the seizure of his computers in July last year. The complexity and size of the investigation that has been mounted can be gauged by the fact that one case submitted is reported to have over 250,000 emails as supporting evidence!

Serdar Argic was the alias used in one of the first automated spamming incidents on Usenet.

For a period of several months in the first half of 1994, the Internet user under the pseudonym of "Serdar Argic", who claimed to have a doctorate, posted messages in any Usenet newsgroup thread involving the country of Turkey.

Every time the word "turkey" was posted on any newsgroup, an automated program posting as Serdar Argic replied in the same thread, in which Argic argued that the Armenian Genocide had not occurred -- or that Armenians had committed genocide upon Turks.

Argic's postings soon numbered in the tens of thousands, and averaged over 100 posts per day, the highest post count of any single Usenet entity.

Hey you motherfucker.. my e-mail was not spam. I was simply looking for human resources. If my account is closed or my service is stopped, I will hold you liable for all damages. You will be looking at something like $1300 per day. Want to fuck with me?

The most concise explanation would probably be his following immortal play (July, 1998):

A PLAY IN ONE ACT AND TWO LINES
(by Alexander Abian)

The curtain rises

On the stage two (separate) armchairs. A is sitting on one and B on the other

A: Darling, I have never betrayed you !

B: How could you have ? I have never trusted you!

The curtain comes down

The end

A quite recent freak is Sollog:

To appreciate Abian's genious, you have to read one of his classics. For instance, http://groups.google.com/group/sci.physics/browse_thread/thread/fcb0d9fb993b98f1

He was a funny enough guy that I always suspected his kookery was just a bit of fun he was indulging in in his old age, but he took that secret with him to the grave. A pity. I always liked him.

Why are you bringing this up? Did it originate on the net?

>>6 reminded me of >>7, as well.

I have recently (after Slashdot linked it, without labelling it "funny" or anything) been wondering what exactly is wrong with the person running http://www.atomchip.com/. I actually feel kind of bad mocking him because he's so obviously crazy.

I don't believe it has much net significance. Other than http://world.std.com/~mmcirvin/kibology/sepia.html, of course.

Also, there's always Alex Chiu. He's a bit overexposed, but worth mentioning.
