Lexmark3200/TLADINY/Scott Aruti/DJ Scotty banned!

[Woochifer]

Wow! Looks like the day of reckoning has arrived for the "professional reviewer." The DVD Town reviewer that Lex thieved from has not been taking this lightly, and has gotten Lex banned from the DVD Talk, Audioholics, and Home Theater Talk sites, all of which I will lurk on from time to time.

He posts the same crap on every one of those sites, even recycling topics that he's written about on other boards; and there are the usual thin-skinned accusations and persecution complex that comes out whenever anyone disagrees with him. Those of us who've been on the board for an extended time have seen his act time and time again under all kinds of different names. Some of the more memorable exchanges under his previous To Live And Die In NY moniker (and his laughable denials about his other screen names when he started posting under the Lexmark3200 name) are linked below. These hijacked threads are hilarious!

A simple Google search will find that he doesn't just dump on home theater boards, but automotive sites as well. If he's really a "professional reviewer," I don't see how this amateurish attitude can carry him too far. Here are some choice gems that I've found on some other sites. (His anti-women tirade on the Home Theater Talk "War of the Worlds" discussion is both disturbing and side-splittingly funny)

While it's time to pop the champagne corks that this twit has left the building and exposed for the fraud that most of us already knew he was, there is a slight bit of sadness in the air. I mean, who else is going to assume the role of the AR court jester? The entertainment value of Lex's synaptic misfires was priceless! Last thing any of us would want is for him to get well and start posting like a normal person.

Oh well, it will only be a matter of time before he tries another screen name, or starts posting on yet another site!

I'm still speechless about this thread below. The same one Wooch put up. I have nothing bad to say about anyone, but did you read this thread. I did not think it was funny at all. Other words come to mind (yes I'm talking to myself)

I was deeply disturbed by what I read, but it does answer some question about his behavior on this, and other forums I have encountered him on. You are such a nice guy, you will never be truely Terrible!

Nah! I'm as crazy as the next guy. I'm just smart enough to keep it to myself.

Well hell, maybe I should learn from you. Maybe I could get rid of this Terrible thing at the end of my moniker.

Nah, it has a nice ring to it. Kinda midevil.

Now if you put on armor and walk around with a sword, when no ones around, then it's time for some serious help.

Not a chance T-man!

Get rid of the "Terrible" moniker, and you lose your knighthood. And I can't possibly see you voluntarily losing the prefix just to get rid of the suffix. I mean, a world without us referring to Terrence as "Sir" is unthinkable!

P.S. Uh, am I done bowing now, your Lordship?

After reading 10 or so disturbing pages in that hometheatertalk.com thread, I can say 2 things:
1) Lexmark/Scott Aruti/TLADINY/DJ Scotty is a wiener.
2) We need to get that Mike Knapp guy to come to ar.com.

Ok, after only 2 mindnumbing pages, I can't take it. Could some one write up some Cliff notes on the 11 page monster giving the highlights?

[noddin0ff]

oh...page 3...I see....urm.

I dont think words can describe what happened.

I thought 'urm' came close. Maybe 'urp' would've have been a better choice?

Well said! For those of us that have been dealing and "communicating" with this guy for a few years now, it's kindof like there is now a void here now. Lex was a fraud from day one but he was an entertaining fraud none the less. But, he crossed the line with he ripped off another writer word for word. I know he is probably screaming at his monitor in frustration when he reads these post about his demise. Helpless to do anything about it now. But, like you said, he will be back under another moniker. That is for sure. As many of us know, he has to get the last word no matter what.

Bye bye Lex. Maybe he'll be back another day.

Oh, I'm just counting down the seconds before that new screen name pops up on this thread. Tutti just can't let a thread like this one go without a meltdown of some sort.

But, I think we should also be on the lookout over in the Home Theater forum for any new members spouting off dumb questions about SPL meters and Onkyo receivers. Nowadays, Tutti can't be bothered with writing anything original -- he just cuts and pastes the same drivel over and over.

It's funny how the Superhonda site administrators were wise to his act and called him out -- even when caught flat footed plaigarizing HIS OWN POSTS under different screen names, he still denied it! (Just like he STILL denies knowing who To Live And Die In NY is) "Massive tool shed," "More proof of MASSIVE toolness," and "Come on playboy, you think I wouldn't call you out on this again?" are some of the best blasts I've ever seen a site administrator level on a troll!

Irony of ironies, I even warned that guy that he should be more worried about someone ripping off HIS reviews than defending some point of his 'til death.

Hmph! I even encouraged others to lighten up on him. Of course he always deserved the beatings he took, but sometimes I thought the beatings were a little out of proportion to the offense.

I read "The Shining" review and actually thought that was Lex's. Didn't suspect a thing. The verbosity/lengthy sentences did read like his, but I should have known it wasn't when there was no mention of his "ex", or moving to Vegas, or the good ol' days in Brooklyn, or his colleagues, or his editors.(FN1) I don't think he picked that review at random. He's probably been copying the original author's style for a long time to the point where he could pass one off as his own. Fortunately for the original author, it IS a small world after all.

But what is striking is there was nothing to be gained by this shameful act.

When you read some of John P.'s reviews you can defintely see where Lex got his style. But, for some moronic reason though, he took it a step farther and ripped him off. It's amazing how small the "World Wide Web" can actually be sometimes. What a bonehead move. It's almost like his original sane subconscious from the time of birth kicked in and made him do it to teach him a lesson, knowing he would be caught.
