Lowtax basically laughs in the Lewis' face, so Lewis turns around and apparently either hires a private investigator or on his own finds out some persona info and writes this (I'm blocking out the identifying personal information):
Richard, I'm pretty sure that after reading this, you're going to realize that you're only getting yourself deeper in trouble. I've already tracked down quite a bit of information about you.
For example, your address: --------------- Lees Summit, MO 64063
Did you know that for only $1 someone can go to the post office, fill out a simple form, and find out the street address of the individual who rented the box?
I also know that your wife's name is ----, and that you two were married on February 13, 2005. I've also tracked down a street address and telephone number for "another" Richard Kyanka. I actually called this telephone number. This was either you or your father. A terrible shame that you don't have the balls to claim your own name, little man. Speaking of little man, I've also managed to track down a couple of pictures of you, which I've attached to this email. You should really spend less time typing away at your computer and a little more time in the gym. Those arms of yours look like spaghetti. And those rosy-red cheeks of yours are quite manly, as well. Bottom line - if you're going to talk tough, you need to be prepared to back that up. To use the old (but in this case, appropriate) cliche, you're letting your mouth write checks that your body can't possibly cash...I'm also sure that you realize that you've only made matters worse for yourself by passing along my email address to your minions so they can harass or threaten me. How cowardly of you to bring in others when you simply lack the fortitude to stand up for yourself! At this point, I've already tracked down two of the emails from your fans - one from Truman State University and one from Sonoma State University. I've had long talks with the IT supervisors at each school. The young men that YOU brought into what could have otherwise been a simple and civil disagreement are now facing disciplinary actions - including suspension from their respective universities - because they were foolish enough to bite on your plea to have your little followers harass or threaten me.
Lowtax responded with more public snark and after a few more rounds of email stopped commenting on his site, but apparently behind the scenes his legions of fans (members of his message boards) proceeded to give Lewis a humiliating virtual mass-spanking, akin to what happened to Bernard Shifman. I don't know the details, but it ended with Lewis cancelling his cell phone number (after it popped up on an easily-Googled UofTenn webpage) and making further threats behind the scenes (as described by one of his friends on the FARK message boards).
You have to pay money to join the SomethingAwful boards, so I never looked to see what exactly happened. Whatever it was, it wasn't punishment enough for what this freeper as*hole pulled.
It's simple - don't be a Netkkkop, or else many old-time netizens of all political stripes will turn you into public enemy #1.
