The Biggest Problem In The Universe: Stalker Edition!

I'm a liar

- Dax Herrera

The Biggest Problem in the Universe: Stalker Edition!
I used to do a podcast with a fan I met in 2007. I caught him lying, talking behind my back and hiding financial information from me. I tried to cut ties by blocking him everywhere I could and moving on with my life, but he has become an obsessed stalker who has dedicated over half a decade to obsessing over me.

His name is Dax Herrera and he's been trying to provoke me in to a response for over half a decade, so now I'm going to give it to him.

Here's the story:

Meet the hate mob!

Some of the faces of the hate mob

Meet some of the people who have been stalking, doxxing, harassing me and others for years. If you were wondering who these people are, look no further because I'm publishing all of their names here in a convenient, searchable list. Note: all of these names were collected from Fanboy's publicly available Facebook group. These people either voluntarily joined the group, or have made unsolicited contact to me directly on Facebook using their public profiles (usually some form of hateful message or threats, many of which I may publish in the future). Under no circumstance should any of these people be harassed or contacted in any way.

Note: In some instances, an institution such as a school or medical office is listed among the names. That's likely because someone who administrates the Facebook page for those accounts may have joined the group using your official institution page. If you find your institution name on this list, you should investigate who has access.

Why?
Back in 2003 I published some hate mail I received from someone sent me a racist rant. Years later he became a cop who was being investigated for abusing an inmate. The cop was suspected of having racist motivations, so when investigators searched for his name, they found the old hate mail he sent on my website in 2003.

Racist cop Racist cop Racist cop

This helped bring the racist cop to justice, and it's one of the highlights of my career. So in an effort to continue shining a light on bad people, I've decided to publish the names of all the people involved directly or indirectly (through tacit support, either financial or just being okay with doxxing and harassment) on this list.

In researching for this publication, I've found that many of the people in the stalker mob have priors for various crimes. I want to list the names of these people here so future law enforcement, parole officers, social workers or possibly legal teams researching individuals for custody decisions can take their involvement in this hate mob into consideration.

If you were searching for a name and came across this list and would like further information on the person's involvement in this hate group, please email me and I may be able to provide further information. If you Googled yourself and found yourself on this list and you no longer want to remain on it, you can email me and I will consider your appeal. Make sure to include in your email why you think it's okay to stalk, dox, harass, threaten and abuse strangers on the Internet.

Author Gustave Le Bon posited that mobs can form due to social contagion, where bad behavior is enabled by anonymity. This enables people to do abhorrent things like stalking, doxxing and harassment:

Le Bon detailed three key processes that create the psychological crowd: i) Anonymity, ii) Contagion and iii) Suggestibility. Anonymity provides to rational individuals a feeling of invincibility and the loss of personal responsibility. An individual becomes primitive, unreasoning, and emotional Source

OLD WEBSITE CONTENT BELOW:
The Biggest Problem in the Universe was a show where my goal was to rank every problem in the universe, from biggest to smallest. Each episode, several problems were discussed, and the listener's job was to vote on which problem was bigger so over time, we'd have a list of all the problems in the universe, from Ants to AIDS. Or if you prefer alphabetical rather than scope for your sorting, from AIDS to Zits. The show had 105 live episodes, plus 2 "Best Of" episodes with live-recorded bumpers. It was a lot of fun to do while it lasted, and the show wouldn't have been the same without the tremendous fan support.


All of the content from the old site will remain here indefinitely. I've uploaded every episode of the old show to SoundCloud where they can remain hosted for free. You can comment on the tracks themselves, as well as listen to it with an RSS reader, or if you prefer, the entire playlist is available at the bottom of this page. Some people prefer YouTube, but due to DMCA issues, these tracks can't be uploaded there because they'll eventually be claimed due to MCN music licensing agreements.

I've made this archive as complete as possible. You're welcome.
