Erin Pavlina said:Sorry for PMing out of the blue. Here's the thing.
I wrote a book with a friend of mine. My husband keeps saying it sucks. I think he's just jealous tho.
He spends a lot of time on these boards, so I told him I'm going to pick a random person here, and ask them, and we ended up betting on it.
So go to http://zenofeller.com/books/asylum/asylum_chapter1_b.html and make the call. Does it suck?
Thanks.
Me too........Yeah, I had this in my PM box today.
What in God's name is it all about?
I was afraid to click on the link.
Are they selling something, or what?
It wont let me respond to the PM.
So, PM person, If you read this, here is what my response was going to be:
"Your book is like rimming a homeless guy"
It was kinda strange that while those PM's were going out - the site went down.
I got the PM too.
Someone maybe tried to setup a PM bot and it crashed the vBulletin database? I would think a lot more people would have had to receive the PM to do that though. A few hundred withing a few seconds might corrupt a table and crash the site.
Anyway, glad to see the site is back up.

New Website Incites Electronic Jihad
Internet Jihad Update from Global Terrorism Analysis:
The latest criticism of Islam being a violent religion, which was sparked by incendiary comments made by Pope Benedict XVI, has caused internet jihadis to launch a new website called Electronic Jihad, located at http://www.al-jinan.org. The purpose of the website is to help organize an electronic jihad against websites that insult Islam and Islamic sacred figures. The site has been well publicized on more established jihadi websites. Jihadi forums are posting quotes from the Quran in order to encourage and convince jihadis and regular Muslims of their duty to engage in electronic jihad and to attack anti-Islamic sites in order to shut them down. Furthermore, postings from August on the Electronic Jihad site already claim that they successfully shut down the Israeli website http://www.haganah.co.il. Thus, it seems that while street protests in response to Western criticism of Islam have died down in the Islamic world, the battle is still raging on the internet.
The way that the Electronic Jihad site works is by coordinating and organizing its users and followers. The website offers programs that those willing to engage in the electronic jihad need to download. Currently, there are two main programs that the website is offering. The first program is used for hacking attacks. The second program, when installed, places a toolbar on the user's computer that connects automatically to Electronic Jihad and acquires data containing the specific date, time and target site for the attack. When that time arrives, the user simply has to run the first hacking program, select the target site to be attacked and then allow the program to do the rest. The key to these attacks is that they must be done simultaneously by many different users so that they can overload the target site. The hacking program is called the Electronic Jihad Program 1.5 (Silver Edition). One individual in palestinianforum.net claims that the program was designed by a Saudi national.
The website also lists the results of previous electronic attacks, noting that it had hacked 14 anti-Islamic websites successfully, although it did not provide the addresses for these websites. The site also claims that one server hosting an anti-Islamic site acquiesced to their threats and suspended the site. The site owners remind Muslims of the harm done by anti-Islamic groups that have hacked into Islamic sites and turned many of them into pornographic websites. To convince indifferent Muslims of the importance of electronic jihad, the site has a link to a report on the al-Jazeera Forums site mentioning Electronic Jihad's achievements in shutting down anti-Islamic websites (http://www.aljazeeratalk.net/forum). The al-Jazeera report, however, does not identify the attackers as "jihadis," but rather as hackers and pirates.
No offense, bhkad, but you've totally lost it.
No offense, Captain Courtesy, but how would you be able to deny these kinds of attacks happen? And how would you be able to categorically discount this type of attack?
And if you have confidential knowledge which would make it obvious to you that this wasn't a Jihadist attack then your comment to me would be completely uncalled for.
It would be what's known as a cheap shot. A low blow. Like Police Brutality. Delivering a blow under the color of your authority.
So, wass up?
In any event, that wasn't very courteous.
And to be completely candid, your sense of impartiality and fairness is your saving grace. Lose that and you'd personify the principle you protest in the waterboarding thread.
Hmph.
I didn't deny these attacks happen. I'm sure they do. However, I believe I do know where the problem originated. It wasn't the Jihadists attacking Debate Politics. My comment was more based on this and your penchant to bring up Jihad in every situation, no matter how obscure. Like this situation. And to be completely candid, bhkad, you have earned a bit of my respect in your tenure here, at DP, not so easy considering how we started off. It is this one issue that, to me, prevents you from having more credibility than you have. Everything does not relate to Jihad. Some things do, but not everything, as you seem to post. This is just my opinion of how you present and the impact it has, and you can do with it as you wish.
Thank you for your comments about my impartiality and fairness. I do strive for that.
And which waterboarding thread? I thought you and I were having a nice, intelligent, non-aggressive debate on one of them. I was about to buy you a drink in the Tavern.
I only drink with Jihadist hating, waterboarders.
This is the second board they hit me on ... :doh
