The Brad Jesness FAQ - Updated 03/19/03
3) How Can You Spot a BJ Post, even when it's an "Anonymous" One?
(a) Look for subject lines that involve someone's name, an extremist statement, or a lot of
inappropriate and idiosyncratic upper case typing. Exclamation points are also common and BJ tends
to use more than one. Also watch out for any threads with subject lines about "Peter Hood,"
"Leslie Packer," "Dan Rogers," "Psychologists," "Thugs," "Punks," "Taylor Jimenez" etc. These are
almost always flame threads started by BJ. Subject lines tend to have blaming themes or to
pretend to expose information of illegal unethical/immoral behavior of the named individual.
Some samples of recent subject lines started by BJ, to illustrate content, grammar and
idiosyncratic capitalization, etc.:
Psychology Leaders and Obvious Illegal Actions
Dan Rogers continues support of illegal hoodlum behaviors
Psyko is a PSYCHO (and a hoodlum thug for therapy)
Does Dan Rogers have FOREKNOWLEDGE of hood activities?

(b) Many of BJ's anonymous posts threaten "punishment" or include veiled or not-so-veiled threats.
Some specific threats are references in other sections of this FAQ. Moral claims of good and
evil also appear and it is noteworthy that BJ used to post as good_BJ@hotmail.com.

(c) BJ's posts frequently contain: "Nazi, thug, hack, scumbag, nuts, sicko, psychotic, delusional,
malicious, malicious liar, malicious libeler, psychopathological liar, coward, criminal" anal
references, references to sheep and "buggers," and statements such as "kiss my a**!!!" or
"BITE me!!!" or "LAUGHING." They often refer to alleged abuses against BJ by professionals.
Although BJ has been told countless times that nobody really cares about his ideas and what they
are objecting to is his personal attacks, harassment and libelous statements, BJ insists that: (1)
it is really his ideas that they object to, and (2) he is not BJ. Since BJ in signed posts and the
"anonymous" poster are the only "people" to ever misspell particular words on a regular basis, and
since only BJ in signed posts and the "anonymous" poster are the only "people" to ever use certain
words or phrases, BJ is not fooling anyone.
Is BJ really supported by countless people who all think exactly as he does or is he lying and
doing this all by himself? The evidence is clear that it is all him.
BJ has a lot of difficulty dealing with women and is particularly abusive to women who have
advanced degrees or professional titles. His difficulty with women was made clearer when Peter
Hood exposed BJ as LFredsen@aol.com who was looking to meet a woman with a personality
disorder because of his own problems. BJ has denied being LFredsen, but the organization line of
the posts show "Client Advocates," "LFredsen" described himself as a 42 year-old man (BJ's age
then), and "LFredsen" only posted in threads and groups where BJ posted. The other evidence is
equally compelling.
(d) Did BJ really try to cheat on his wife RJ by looking for women with a "sock" he used for
complaints against the APA?

The author's posting history is consistent with BJ's.
(e) BJ's posts also contain unsupported claims or allegations about others. BJ is well known for
looking up someone's name and then posting information about someone else with the same name,
assuming that there is only one person with that name in the world or on the Internet.
One recent example has BJ claiming that "Just Taylor" could be a person by the name of Dr. Jai
Maharaj <jai@aloha.com> for no other reason other than the fact that he had "netscum" in his post.

On several occasions, BJ has complained that those whom he wishes to harass have not cooperated
with him by providing their address or employer's name. At one point, BJ requested Dr. Dan Rogers
provide him with his home address so that BJ could file an ethical complaint about him with the
Iowa State Board of Psychology. When Dr. Rogers declined to assist, BJ indicated that he would
have to report Dr. Rogers's refusal to cooperate with the request.

BJ must have thought it "doesn't hurt to ask" when he asked all of SPP to "please call authorities"
and provide them with your personal info. To save time prosecuting SPP of course.

BJ has other "signs and symbols" that help experienced BJ - readers spot his anonymous posts as his.
Most have not been included here because BJ doesn't seem to be aware of how he betrays himself in
his anonymous posts.
