As the Hoax Churns: More hoaxer in-fighting

It’s always entertaining to watch Hoaxtead mobsters tear one another to shreds, and they’ve been doing a champion job lately, as we mentioned last week. Things seem to have escalated in the past couple of days, though, as the Hoaxateers vie to see who can be first to accuse the others of being ‘assets’ or operatives, or even members of the Hoaxtead Research team, heaven forbid.

The problem, you see, is that most of the people who claim to believe the ghastly fairy-tale that Abe and Ella forced RD’s children to recite on camera are just not very nice people. They range from falsely pious to rabidly violent, and they all seem to share one overriding characteristic: they’re all, every last one of them, unbelievably paranoid.

Well, they have to be, don’t they?

After all, they see themselves as on the forefront of the ‘truth movement’, seeing things that no one else sees, joining dots like nobody’s business, and coming to conclusions that might just seem absurd if they weren’t so damaging.

So what happens when you put a group of paranoid, unpleasant people together to promote a hoax that they passionately claim is real?

Well, this:

Starts with an all-caps shot across the bow from…who? Jeanette Falcon? That’s a new one on us, and apparently on Kristie Sue Costa as well. JF…JF…JF…now where have we heard those initials before?

Well, never mind. Whoever she is, JF seems to think that Kristie Sue has done her wrong. It reminds us of that time last winter when the giant gaping schism emerged between Charlotte Ward (aka Jacqui Farmer) and Dearman Does Hampstead (aka Kristie Sue Costa). Probably just a coincidence, though.

It sounds to us as though JF was given the boot from the Sooper Seekrit Facebook Groop™ that everyone knew about anyway. If you’ll recall, Charlotte/Jacqui was completely discredited within the group when her protegé, HWMNBN, blasted the thing wide open and started airing the group’s very dirty laundry on Facebook.

Ooh, lists! We love lists! In fact, we have made a few of them ourselves, just for shits and giggles.

JF has her knickers firmly in a knot, though, and keeps suggesting that Kristie Sue is working on the side of goodness and justice (i.e., us), a charge she heatedly denies. (So do we, just in case anyone is listening.)

JF’s got evidence, though: she accuses Kristie Sue of “making readers focus on the trolling and diverting them from what is really going on”.

Fair point there, JF. Then again, it seems to us that you were a wee bit troll-obsessed back in your heyday, weren’t you? You and Jacco deBoer spent a lot of time trying to ‘join dots’ and figure out who various trolls were, to bizarre and hilarious effect.

Ohhhh…wait, we think we see the problem here.

JF and Video Man got all their (laughably incorrect) info from…wait for it…Dearman Does Hampstead. And now they realise just how badly they were duped. It’s all starting to fall into place now! Old grudges, new allegations…it all makes sense.

Then there’s a whole long debate over JF’s gender, ending with a demand from the strait-laced über-religious Kristie Sue for JF to “expose yourself”.

Hoaxteaders have a real thing about that, don’t they? Constantly insisting that complete strangers drop their drawers. It’s a bit disturbing, actually.

JF and Kristie Sue spar a bit more, and then John Taylor, who has been begging for someone to please, please, PLEASE NOTICE HIM! wants to know whether there will be punishment for him, too! Oh please? John has been a very naughty boy, and he really deserves to be punished!

“Will there be any punishment for me? i hope so..love it (all sic, not to say sick)”. This is starting to verge on too much information, people. Really, with Kristie Sue’s voyeurism and John’s S&M fantasies, it’s getting a bit weird.

So what the hell was this all in aid of?

Is Charlotte Ward warming up for one last power grab, now that Kristie Sue has declared herself the True Voice of the Hoaxtead Mob? (If you’ll recall, Angie wore that crown until recently, but it looks as though no one is paying her much notice now.)

Will anyone remember who Charlotte was?

And if they do remember, will they be willing to accept her, now that Kristie Sue has inserted herself onto the throne (at least for this week)?

Will John convince Kristie Sue to punish him?

Stay tuned for the next thrilling episode of As the Hoax Churns.
