This is a link post Jon Ronson vs His Spambot
Ronseal. Got a feeling that this may be GC so apologies in advance. GC detectorymabob says no however.

Be prepared to be exceptionally annoyed by the guy in the middle.

This is a normal post Jon Ronson's a pretty decent guy.
Very open and honest. He's just taking exception to some utterly pretentious, self important arseholes.

I've met him a couple of times: a very pleasant, unassuming, intelligent chap.

This is a normal post Yeah I've met him at a talk for the Skeptics Society
Absolutely top bloke. Very unassuming but charming at the same time.

This is a normal post I quite like Jon Ronson too...
His books are interesting reads...The Psychopath Test was particularly good.

And of course, The Men Who Stare At Goats...

This is a normal post there's a solution to this
one of you b3ta tech genius types should create a counter spam bot with the name "Dr. Dan O'Hara". See how he likes it, and when he complains use all his justifications for stealing Ronson's identity back at him.

I could think of a few choice subjects it could tweet about ;)

and tweet the results to jon ronson
(and I do notice an unusually high percentage of intellectually vain smug cocks choose careers as Uni lecturers, what's that all about?)

This is a normal post watch the video
from the first comment. You can't begin to realise how relevant your description of "intellectually vain smug cocks" is.

This is a normal post instead of admitting
they should have put a disclaimer on the bot when caught with their pants down and apologising for the mix up, they defend themsleves with pretentious 6th form pseudo babble waffle bollocks ( some lovely waffle at around 10.20 which shows they have not a clue about their own reasoning - he should go very far as a uni lecturer)

This is a normal post I would love someone to do this.
I think he should tweet exclusively about algorithms and cottage cheese.

This is a normal post maybe
Write a script that generates intensely racist article abstracts and submits them to academic journals in his name...

This is a normal post What a fucking bastard.
Media self-wanksters are even worse than the racist 14 year olds on youtube. I have never seen so much pretentious obnoxious smug creepy superior new media cuntery on one sofa. I have never wanted a sofa to burn so much. I hope they go to a bar and say something smart-arsed to the wrong person with their stupid smug faces that gets them slapped within an inch of their lives.

OOOh, they made me soooo mad.

This is a normal post We should collectively photoshop the shit out of him.
See how he likes that 'sampling' of his image.

I think we all know what to do with this:

This is a normal post Gah! What arseholes!
OK: what they're up to is potentially quite interesting... but:
(a) they're arseholes
(b) they're blurring the distinction between academia and activism
(c) they're aresholes.

I bet they're sociologists. (I know one is credited as being a lecturer in literature: but that just makes me think he's a literature-department philosopher - that is, someone who's read a bit of Derrida and Baudrillard, without actually knowing anything much about philosophy. This is even worse than being a sociologist, so I'm doing him a favour.)

This is a normal post what a profoundly ignorant explanation they give
I hope they don't start another project where they go around hitting strangers in the face with a baseball bat to highlight the injustice of unilateral military aggression.

This is a normal post 'why would you use your own name?'
Because it's his name you fucking pretentious, self-important asshole. You don't know anyone on Twitter who uses their own name? That's because you live under a rock and have no friends

I could have sworn that at about 1 min in we see a tweet from one of the arch tossbags who's twitter name seems to be his own name....

This is a normal post I'd think what they're doing was hillarious if they were winding up some twat
but Ronson doesn't really deserve this. Having said that, I find the one in the middle reasonably attrative.
