Iain Hall
From Encyclopedia Dramatica
Iain Hall (or Iain; Hall as he is sometimes known) is a notorious Australian blogger known for his try-hard right-wing views, attention seeking trolling, and frequent online stalking of those with whom he disagrees. He is in his 40s or early 50s and lives in Queensland with his wife and two children.
Iain is a rabid devotee of Melbourne's Andrew Bolt, a right-wing newspaper columnist and blogger, who himself is known as the "thinking man's Iain Hall"[2]. Unemployed, and possibly unemployable, Iain Hall spends his days picking internet arguments with other bloggers in a futile attempt to attract visitors to his website.
At the beginning of his blogging career Iain Hall refused to disclose his real name, instead going by the pseudonym of "Niceperson". This continued until The Editor at GrodsCorp exposed his real name [3] and since then Iain has attacked bloggers who wish to remain anonymous, calling them "cowards."[4]
More recently, Iain has created over twenty fake[5] blogs[6] to try and personally harm his opponents by smearing them as "stinking pieces of shit" and "lesbian nazis". He has also been caught out sending out bounties of scotch for the identities of bloggers whose only crime is being more intelligent and articulate than him.
Iain Hall claims to have gone to university where he allegedly studied drama. [7]
[edit] Purpose of the article
The purpose of this article is to keep an accurate record of the writings, stalkings and trollings of Iain Hall as he has an unfortunate habit of locking his blogs to hide his vilest behaviour. As he travels around the internet threatening lawsuits over what he himself has done in the past, there is a definite need to keep an accurate record of his internet history so he can be held accountable for his actions.
[edit] His Blog
| —Iain Hall, talking about his blog in his own words. |
In reality, it's a lame attempt to try and position himself as a conservative commentator, when all he is really doing is regurgitating news with a badly spelled, badly thought out and badly punctuated opinions rabidly tapped below.
He boasts about the number of visitors his site gets, while ignoring that most of his hits come from his critics: PKD, Craigy, The Happy Revolutionary, Jangari, AV and others. His fanbase is limited to about five people, all of them deranged right-wingers from unnotable Nazi hate site A Western Heart[8]. One in particular, "kg", believes that the Middle East should be blown up and a nuclear bomb be dropped on Palestinians, "If someone should drop a nuke on these subhuman filth I’ll raise a glass in celebration."[9] He is the most reasonable fan Iain has.
[edit] Literacy
| —Iain Hall, Meaning to say "... most people's" |
Iain Hall's grasp of the English language is tenuous and he is slowly learning that Microsoft Word's spell check function will neither correct grammar nor turn long strings of random words into functioning clauses. Consequently, his arguments rarely make any sense.
One example:
| —Iain Hall, on properly using commas as sentence breaks, ....what |
Iain has refused to take direct responsibility for the above quote, instead skirting around the issue and blaming it on the ignorance of youth. He claims to have seen "far worse than this..." and says he has improved[12]. He hasn't[13].
- Iain Hall's frequent spelling tragedies are the thing of blogospheric myth, and people have been known to count the number of Iain Hall spelling errors in a given day to see if he can exceed that number in the next.
- Classic examples have included "furfilled"[14], "looser"[15][16], "loosing"[17] and memorably "bloggosphere"[18][19] - a word he wrongly claimed had no set spelling.
- While he has always over-used commas, he has recently taken to using semi-colons in a haphazard fashion, merely dotting them in random fashion over a page with no thought to where they actually belong.[20] [21] [22] This has given him the nickname "Iain; Hall."
- Fittingly, Iain's favourite word is "pernicious". "Iain; Hall’s Pernicious-o-meter"[23]has clocked his use of this word at over 9000 times and counting [24] [25] [26], thereby demonstrating his inherent lack of perspicacious judgment.
[edit] Style of arguing
Iain Hall's style of arguing is the stuff of internet myth. It is radically unsuccessful, which is proved, not only in the amount of arguments he has lost simply by getting lost in a maze of illogic with only a little goading from the other side, but also by noone else having adopted his arguing style for their own sites.
Godwin's Law: Iain will often compare the subject matter to the Nazis, thereby invoking Godwin's Law and automatically losing [27]. Interestingly, of late he has been accusing others of breaking Godwin's Law, despite the fact that he does it daily.
Pro-homosexual/gay: In debates pertaining to sexual orientation, Iain will often refer to the other side, puzzlingly, as "pro-homosexual", thereby clearly labeling himself "anti-homosexual" by default, a charge he intriguingly denies [28].
Parroting Bolt: Watch in awe as he uses Bolt's buzzwords and catchphrases[29], but continues to claim he can think for himself [30].
Comprehension: Hall frequently accuses people of not understanding, or missing, his point. This is fair enough, as his point is usually so convoluted that it's impossible to follow.[31]
Nothing original: Most of Hall's posts contain a long slab of text lifted from a news site, accompanied with a couple of lines of his poorly-spelled commentary underneath. This allows him to fill his blog without having any original ideas of his own. In fact, Iain is so insecure about his own beliefs that he'll reprint an article and enthusiastically endorse it, even if it goes against something he's said in the past.
Hotlinking: Hall adorns his blog with photographs, cartoons and animated GIFs, of which he is particularly fond.[32] However, these are always hotlinked, exposing Hall as a bandwidth thief of significant proportions.
[edit] Deviant Behaviour
Iain Hall first came to prominence (anonymously, of course) for despicably stalking prominent left-wing blogger Jeremy Sear[33] (then known anonymously as "MrLefty"). Hall's blog Boltwatch-Watch started as a counter point to Sear's own BoltWatch [34]. Unable to actually articulate why Sear annoyed him so much, or hold his own in an argument, the blog quickly degenerated into personal attacks...
| —Iain Hall |
| —Iain Hall |
| —Iain Hall |
| —Jeremy Sear |
Iain also trolled mercilessly, viciously and without reason at Tim Blair's blog[35]. Even there he was unable to find many friends, and he was questioned on his hypocrisy:
| —Skeptic, exposing Iain[36] |
| —Jacki, conforming to the phenotype[37] |
| —Iain Hall, proving once and for all he intended on harming Sear's career[38] |
Hall has also tried unsuccessfully to recruit a minor to locate personal information on another blogger named Bruce[39], by trying to get a minor to stalk him. He even went as far as asking her to take pictures of Bruce for his website. Another Hall attempt to locate personal details, this time about 'Bridget Gread', went horribly wrong after he believed his victim to be a Melbourne TV journalist. Hall e-mailed several news outlets and wrote a lengthy attack on this individual, only to withdraw it after 24 hours due to defamation fears.[40]
Iain Hall regularly floods the comments sections on blogs that criticize him. He has managed to close down at least one blog using this technique. He has also attempted and failed to erase this article using the identity 'thelordgod'[41]. Apparently not learning the first time he tried completely re-write it using the identity 'Mars Rover' [42], but his efforts were reverted within minutes.
On the 30th November 2007, Dead Roo[43] will cease operation. One of the reasons is Iain Hall[44]:
| —Authors of Dead Roo, talking about closing their blog. |
Iain responded with his unique brand of insightfulness:
| —Iain Hall, ....what??? |
Just for good measure, here is another example of Iain in action stalking and making more threats to bloggers[45]:
| —Iain Hall, a typical email |
| —Iain Hall, "Personally" offering a bounty to 'out' The Happy Revolutionary |
[edit] Lawsuits
When lost for an argument that doesn't involve the hardcore claim that one is a "minion of the left", Iain Hall likes to threaten meaningless lawsuits, once even emailing blogger John Surname with the rather startling admission that he wouldn't be using a lawyer, as he would rather service John himself. (Please see email transcripts of Iain Hall.) Recently, Iain has been involved in an internet war with freedom fighter Bourbon Boy, and has resorted back to his usual method of threatening legal action[46]. Why? Because he claims Bourbon Boy is stalking him, a claim that delighted all as it wasn't long ago Iain was engaged in his infamous campaign against then-anonymous-blogger Jeremy Sear simply because he disagreed with his political viewpoints.
| —Iain Hall, not conforming to the phenotype. |
After Iain was hacked in May 2008, he again threatened lawsuits before withdrawing because he is too poor to actually sue anyone.
[edit] Stalking
A commenter of Iain's, Alex, was caught plagarising articles[47] so Iain decided to track down his place of employment and contact them. Why? Because Alex posted comments at the noble HALLWATCH[48]. Iain also repeatedly babbled that Alex's revisions didn't satisfy the Copyright Regulations Act, which is ironic as Iain is currently stealing other people's work here[49] and here[50].
[edit] Noddy Car
In lieu of actual employment, Iain is building a car with taxpayer's money. On Black Wednesday (see below), Fang (un)kindly termed the car the "Noddy Car", a name which has stuck ever since. Iain has uploaded videos of the car being built and tested to YouTube [51]. After the videos were embedded on the blogs of his many enemies, Iain took the privilege away and the videos are currently unembedable.
Being safety conscious, Iain placed labels all over his "Noddy Car". One of the more prominent labels is under the stereo and says:
- EYE PROTECTION MUST BE WORN AT ALL TIMES[52]
Iain affixed this because he forgot (or couldn't afford) to install a windscreen. In the quote below, Iain describes why cars need windscreen wipers and the evolution of his now infamous bright red helmet that matches his mudguards:
This one would not be necessary had I decided to fit a windscreen. But if you fit a windscreen you also need wipers and a demister, so instead I got out my old motorcycle helmet that has a drop down Visor and treated it to a coat of the same red paint that I used on the nose cone of the car. Mostly I expect to use either Sunglasses or Safety Glases now If I can just find a hat that will stay on at speed I will be stoked.[53]
One can only imagine how amused other drivers would be at seeing such a sight as they overtake Iain. Luckily for all concerned, Iain finally got his hands on a windscreen sans the wipers and demister.
A further example Iain's love of labels taken from other cars and placed on his own is this:
- This vehicle is a high performance specialized sports car.[54]
Anyone else would think this was Iain's attempt at humour. However, Iain is deadly serious.
Iain Hall goes driving in the Noddy Car:
[edit] Trolling, stalking and identity theft
Iain has created many, many blogs for the sole purpose of trolling. Here is a selected rundown:
- Troll tales and true[55] (Dole Tales and Tripe): Iain revealed this blog in October 2007. It contains a copy of everything that has ever been written about him. Iain claims it's proof of a left-wing conspiracy, but the only thing it's really proof of is that Iain is paranoid beyond belief.
- ScroteWatch[56]: Yet another trolling blog, created not long after claiming that "Now I have a tacit agreement with Jeremy that I will not drag up our battles past (or continue them) and I stick to my agreements, even tacit ones. And as I have said many many times I am rather bored with the subject of Jeremy Sear and Boltwatch."[57]. Iain expected his righty friends to join the self-described "blogging sage" in his quest to identify "scrotes" (anonymous critics Iain can't stalk). Closed after Iain was lead astray twice by bloggers feeding him fake leads on their identities[58]. Hilarious.
- Bridgit Gread[59]: If it wasn't clear that Iain already hated smart women, this blog proves it. Iain attempts what he describes as "cruel satire" by smearing Bridgit Gread as a "lesbian nazi", proving that he doesn't know what satire actually is. Iain linked to the page knowing full well that Bridgit didn't write it, and also refused to disclose that fact, instead gloating around the internet boasting that you "can't defame an anonymous person".
[edit] ScotchGate
Iain was publicly embarrassed when, after gloating about uncovering sworn enemy THR's identity, it was revealed that he had been lead on by blogger John Surname who simply wanted to see if Iain would live up yo his promise of a scotch bounty.
Iain did, surprisingly, but the scotch was returned due to a cruel twist of fate.
Read it all here[60]
[edit] Compassion
Hall is notorious for his lack of compassion. When a blogger [61] suffering from depression quit blogging, Iain (using the bloggers illness as ammunition) put on his kind hat and responded:
"Some how (sic) I don't think that you are going to be missed that much at all...but one thing that is certain is that you do seem rather desperate for some afirmation (sic); which is a bit sad.Keep taking the pills and cheer up; life is worth living even for sad lefties like yourself."[62]
In a post titled "Children are our future", Iain gives his opinion on the death of three Aboriginal children killed by a train:
"While I feel the pain of the parents at loosing (sic) their children I wonder how any one could let their children under ten wander the streets with out (sic) supervision. The total cynic in me thinks that this is the way that the gene pool is purged , ..."[63]
[edit] Attitude towards women
Even though Iain's wife is the main bread-winner in the family, Iain has nothing but contempt for women:
- "However if some nutter were to pop the bitch I think that the average intelligences of Australian Journalists would certainly rise by significant amount."[64]
- "Women who goad, nag and belittle their partners must accept some responsibility for the consequences of their actions."[65]
- "Do you get it ? You can choose, but choose wisely it is decision that you will have to live with for the rest of your life and those around you who may or may not have a vested interest in your life are not obliged to just meekly approve your actions because you are a woman."[66]
- "As a younger man I embraced the idea that women would see sex in the same way that we mere males do, a physical pleasure somewhat akin to having a drink. [D]espite being a red blooded bloke who still appreciates the sight of a beautiful woman… [i]t seem to me that more women are waking up to the fact that casual sex for its own sake is not that satisfying."[67]
- "Natasha Stott Despoya (sic) her hair tied back in a severe style, no doubt to make her look more serious and less blonde, made a big play on the word “desperate”."[68]
- "Bearing false witness is right up there with Rape [sic] itself and should actually carry an equally harsh penalty"[69]
- Iain enthusiastically supports "neutering" women who have more than one abortion[70].
[edit] Choice Quotes
Please note: The spelling and grammar below is original and completely unedited.
Iain (who is an immigrant and does not work) on asylum seekers:
"If they are seeking to come here for purely economic reasons then by any measure they are not “Refugee’s” nor are the “asylum seekers ” they re illegal; immigrants pure and simple."[71]
Iain wonders if lost shopping might vote Green:
"You never know if we don’t keep a lid on these wayward shopping trolleys they may think they are almost human and try to vote “Green” or they could just get religion and instead of groceries start delivering ammonium nitrate mixed with diesel fuel…"[72]
On homosexuality, and whether he'd become gay if his child did:
"Personally I have a live and let live attitude to anyone who bats for the other team .Not my cup of tea but in a diverse world ect (sic)… but knowing that for many gay women and men a life of distrust and exclusion will be their lot.. Makes me wonder if one of my children were to be gay and it were possible to would I make that change for them ?"[73]
On a foster child being taken away from a Christian couple who refused to educate the child about homosexuality:
"Really it seems like the ideologues in power in the UK won’t be happy until “Buggery 101” is a compulsory subject in all of the schools."[74]
On war:
"Regardless of the progress of the war in Iraq I have long thought that for the west there is some value in the focus of the war on terror being over there rather than here"[75]
On why bicycle riders must be run down:
"It is usually when one is acending (sic) the mountian (sic) that they are most annoying , like sheep they are a herd animal ,and you may encounter mobs of them panting as they pedal furiously to try to conquer the force of gravity .Now this is not such a big deal most of the time but fate being what it is the day you get caught behind a herd of them will be the day that you are in a hurry to meet the school bus and on days like that I tend to think that perhaps their numbers should be reduced by some judicious culling."[76]
On Britons drinking UHT milk:
"This is a woeful idea , mainly because UHT milk always tastes so bad. Not it is impossible to drink this stuff bad, but burnt and very processed bad."[77]
On Doctor Who:
"I have been I lifelong fan of the Doctor Who series. In fact one of the anecdotes that I like to tell about my childhood concerns the time, when I was nine, that I had an appendicitis, ."[78]
On "Silicone tits":
"However breast enhancements are very low on my list of worthwhile procedures... My opinion on this issue was made even more certain when I acquired a load of silicone implants courtesy of a retired plastic surgeon.The implants are rather nasty pieces of kit actually, and a lot more fragile than you would expect, why any one would want to pay to have such things implanted ion (sic) their bodies is entirely beyond me, but the (sic) do make excellent ice packs after being chilled in the freezer."[79]
Attempting to quote Sir Winston Churchill:
"Winston Churchill is famously quoted as saying, that those of us who do not study history are doomed to repeat it’s mistakes, is just as true now as it was when he enunciated it during the second world war."[80]
Iain being "sarcastic":
"You will be pursued wherever you go using this blogging identity and when your real identity is discovered, as it will be, you will be named and shamed"
" ... I offer a bottle of Scotch to anyone who can name the scrote." [81](note: In April he sent the scotch after recieving fake information[82].
Iain Hall on the McMuffin
"Mark the fact of the matter is that before 1972 no body did think of doing this and it is on a Muffin not a roll :) You elitist lefties now if it had some quaint ethnic origin (focarccia anyone?) you lot would be singing it’s praises, and given the gentleman was an American from California he was of course not eligible for a knighthood."[83]
Iain having a whinge about this page
"Lets be honest here shall we? This article is full of bullshit and lies about Iain Hall... So who is it that gets to judge what it is that constitutes 'vandalism' on this site? And what is the point of allowing anyone to edit this page if they are banned whenever they do so?"[84]
Iain on knowing very well how much:
"We all know very well how much hatred and contempt that the left have for the Jews in general"[85]
[edit] The "Black Wednesday" Saga
On the 29th of August, someone who seemed to be one of Iain's most loyal supporters, Fang, turned against him [86], admitting that he only felt sorry for him. Iain immediately deleted many of the comments from his blog.
| —Fang, turning on Iain |
Iain then sent Fang a series of threatening and abusive emails. For example:
| —Iain Hall, threatening Fang with jail in Thailand. |

[edit] List of blogs

[edit] Email Transcripts

[edit] Iain Hall cameos
Iain Hall has starred in two episodes of GrodsCorp's series "Lachlan Connor Independent". An open secret in the blogging community, Iain has apparently only just found out claiming that his name has been taken in vain [88]. That's right, he thinks he's God now.
[edit] Trivia
!["An example of the Latte Left."[1]](/Image:Latte-art.jpg)
- Iain Hall holds a distinguishing record - 90% of visitors to his blog despise him.
- He calls McDonald's the "Fine Scottish Restaurant". He thinks this is a joke, but no-one is laughing.[89]
- Uses the term "Latte Left" frequently, as he mistakes it for a valid putdown.[90] Detractors claims he is of the 'Nescafe Right'.[91]
- He describes himself as an existential atheist, which he surprisingly spells correctly.[92]
- Once used a picture of a cappuccino to highlight a post about the "Latte Left".[93]
- Once claimed to have taken part in anti-Vietnam protests when he was in Uni. Except, the Vietnam war ended when he was 9 years old[94]. Has been twice caught lying about his age.
- Has claimed to have once worked in a fast food shop (probably true as nobody would make that up) [95]
- Claims to be a "respected conservative commentator", but the only ones who respect him are the most extremist of right wingers. Everyone to the left of Hitler simply think he is mad.
- Iain likes to ban people from his blog, and frequently erase the past, but he has NEVER ONCE been banned from the blogs of anyone he banned.
- Iain likes to threaten meaningless lawsuits [96], once even emailing blogger John Surname with the rather startling admission that he wouldn't be using a lawyer, as he would rather service John himself.
- Whilst many know Hall for his uncompromising approach to internet stalking, few are aware of his achievements. For instance, in 2007, Hall was nominated under several categories for the Australian Weblog Awards. His nominations included, Best Illiterate Blog, Best Try-Hard Blog, Best Comment-Free Blog, Best Performance by an Internet Stalker (twice), Best Dial-up-from-a-Queensland-cow-farm Blog. [97]
- In 2003 Iain found his first Packard 386 at the tip. It came with a 2.8kps modem, and thus, Iain joined the cyberage at Yahoo Groups[98], spouting surprisingly socialist views.
- Such is his mythical status on the internet, Hall is the subject of much song and verse.[99][100][101] Like Diana, Princess of Wales, or Marilyn Monroe, Hall has been the recipient of a tribute song by Elton John.[102]
[edit] Pernicious Minds
On the 30th March 2008, The Rolling Stones were kicked out of Abbey Road recording studios to make room for the recording of the Pernicious Minds EP. Three tracks were recorded: "The Ocean View Hillbilly", "A Condom In The Wind" and "Pernicious Minds". The band are in negotiations with iTunes and Virgin Records for a follow up release. After being leaked on the internet [103] Pernicious Minds has been turned into ring tones and has been remixed by Timbaland.
[edit] What Others Think About Iain
Iain Hall thinks that his critics are all a cadre of leftists who have joined together to attack him. Granted, some are left-wing, however, there are equally as many, if not more, people from right-wing websites who understand what type of a person Iain Hall is. The Spin Starts Here (TSSH) was a blog that did not take a liking to Jeremy Sear (the person Iain stalks). Many posts there criticised Sear. However, when Iain tried to attack Jeremy at TSSH with his own brand of stalking and harassment, the members of the site told him exactly what they thought.
- "I think Iain deserves a special prize. To come across as a bigger cunt than lefty in this thread is a spectacular achievement." (johnboy, TSSH)
- "He's been caught out as a liar, a hypocrite and a stalker and now he's destroying the evidence." (Janine, TWLOTB)
- "My eyes are bleeding after viewing Iain's blog..." (chunu, TSSH)
- "What the fuck are you on, Iain?" (puss, TSSH)
- "YOU, sirrah, are acting like a premier grade cock-biter ... Get off the one-trick pony, quit begging for attention, and chill the fuck out." (TJ, TSSH)
- "Stalk[ing] and follow[ing] around the net - a pretty accurate description from what I can gather." (Jacki, Tim Blair)
- "I don't suppose you could learn about fucking punctuation while you're here? Jesus Fucking Christ, how about capitalisation? Grammar? Correct spelling? Does any of this enter your fucking skull, Iain?" (TarredByAssociation, TSSH)
- "[Not] able to argue honestly and relies on strawmen to give the impression of not admitting defeat. Iain has been caught editing posts to make himself look less foolish." (confudeforeigner, Seeking Utopia)
- "Iain, you remind me of my neighbour's Jack Russell that will not stop humping my ankle." (Dee Bliss, TSSH)
- "Iain, your sole purpose here seems to be to say 'ooh! ooh! Look at my blog! I hate Lefty too! Look! At my blog!!' You're harshing my mellow. Fuck off." (Desci, TSSH)
- "Iain, still blogging about AL and Bolt. If you were a girl, I'm sure you'd get accused of having a thing for Bolt." (Darlene, Darlene Taylor)
- "Iain Hall is behaving like the one who sucks up constantly to maintain his tenuous position in the group and the one who invariably takes it too far." (Bruce, TSSH)
[edit] Iain on Iain
Based on his attempted edits to this page as user "Mars Rover"
- "Iain Hall's style of arguing should not be underestimated, he is sarcastic, tenacious and persistent but he is also generous and affable to those he debates. He exhibits a marked preference for debating the issues rather than engaging in personal attacks. " (Iain Hall on himself, lying through his teeth)
- "He updates his blog daily drawing on news sources from around the world, his love of nature and an inquiring mind to write thoughtful, sometimes sarcastic, pieces that reflect his unique worldview." (Iain Hall on himself)
- "The quote below demonstrates Hall’s .. somewhat wicked sense of humour." (Iain Hall up himself)
- "Iain responded with his unique brand of insightfulness" (Iain Hall deluding himself)
- "Iain Hall is so unpopular with the left because he is such a tenacious blogger [104], debater [105], fighter for the truth and justice. [106], thinker[107], human being[108]....the list goes on. He succeeds more often than he fails at almost any endeavour, and yet is too humble enough to admit that made a mistake. Essentially, the site is very expansive including emails and posts from all critics that he could find" (Iain Hall deeply in love with himself)
[edit] Nicknames
Iain has earned a variety of nicknames during his time stalking and trolling.

- Iain Hall, Dole Man.
- ";;;;"
- Queensland's Most Spiteful, Pathetic, Illiterate Excuse For A Blogger (QMSPIEFAB)
