Despite my general indifference and contempt, poor old Andy Landeryou is still obsessed with me.
Not content with photoshopping my face into a photograph of patrons at a brothel, or repeatedly ringing me up on Christmas Eve to swear at me, Landy's now continued his creepy stalking campaign with a new set of idiotic smears and some more pathetic photoshop work:
At least he's got my head roughly in proportion this time/Why can't he photoshop me into a nice holiday destination, eh?
And he wonders why I suspected he, or someone close to him, might have something to do with the theft of my blogs last week! I suspected (and given his continued obsessive interest in me, continue to suspect) the dimwit's involvement (or that of one of his lackeys) because the troubles with this particular fake "MrLefty" stalker only commenced after Landy became aware of my existence.
Meanwhile the following is Andy's reasoning that apparently leads him to conclude that I've invented the theft of my blogs (in Andy's words - and isn't it lucky that the rotund twerp is judgment proof? - "disturbing elements [that] confirm Sear's own guilt"):
- I'm a barrister and yet haven't (so far as Andy's aware) complained to the Federal Police!
- I've claimed that blogspot has taken five days (and counting) to respond to my email regarding my blogs being hacked, but Andy's sent them one AND THEY'RE PROBABLY GOING TO RESPOND QUICKER THAN THAT!
- The idea of brute-force password hacking is as ridiculous as suspecting "Aliens, G.W.Bush, CIA, ASIO maybe involved, maybe the Herald-Sun-Murdoch nexus"; AND
- MelbourneLefty was apparently once hacked too! How could it be true if it's happened TWICE?
There are pretty bloody obvious responses to all of these laughable bits of "proof" that "confirm" my own "guilt".* (Apart from the obvious one of: why the hell would I? I've lost half my readers because they don't know where I've gone.)
But the main issue here is, how does one get an irritating Andrew Landeryou to go away? Since it is bankrupt, there's no point suing it for defamation. So the best thing would be for it to simply lose interest and totter off into its own ridiculous irrelevancy. Except that, so long as it's not attacking them, people find gawking at it amusing. In a "News of the World" kind of way.
I suppose it's good that he's going after me instead of more influential progressive targets where he could do more harm. But still.
Any ideas on the subject are more than welcome.
PS What's the "Jeremy Sear enjoys his beer" claim got to do with the rest of his smear, anyway? Anyone?
*1. (a) How does Andy know I haven't? And (b) in any case, it's so unlikely that the AFP would do anything about the theft of two blogspot blogs that it's arguably not worth the time; 2. I don't know why, but they haven't. And of course they haven't responded to Andy yet either; 3. When Andy's blogspot blog is eventually password-hacked, we'll see how responsive he is to claims that it's impossible; and 4. If Andy could read he'd have seen that Melbourne Lefty wasn't hacked - I deleted it. But once it was deleted it was then immediately taken up by a blog squatter, something that, at the time, I hadn't realised they could immediately do.

UPDATE
You know what? Why should Andrew Landeryou have all the fun (of photoshopping my face)?
I'm going to launch my own "green screen challenge". In which you, photoshop-skilled people with sufficient time on your hands, insert my face into various ridiculous situations.
This is the photo of me from my Victorian Bar profile that Andy's been playing with:
Yes, I really should get a new one taken.
Where the original "green screen challenge" at least had Stephen Colbert's head in front of an easily-removed green screen, this one has my head in front of some books (I seriously don't have the photoshop skills to remove them). And where Andy seems to be fixated on putting me in seedy clubs/brothels, I'm hoping that you guys can come up with something more imaginative.
And yes, I know, it doesn't sound like much reward for the effort. But maybe it's more fun when you're actually doing it. (Indeed, Andy Landeryou's got a whole "Blog of Freedom" to run, and he finds photoshopping my head so thrilling that he MAKES the time.)
Please either upload your images and link to them in the comments, or email them to me at mrlefty@gmail.com and I'll upload them here.
UPDATE #2: The Editor submits the first entry:
John and I are really just good friends, honestly.
UPDATE #3: John Surname submits the second:
Yes, I'm tough and implausibly muscular.
UPDATE #4: And Su contributes this spooky image, which I believe is from Total Recall:
Jeremy's really a hideous space alien!
UPDATE #5: And Weezil shows off his 1337 photo manipulation skillz by twisting my face scarily into the following dramatic action role:
Women and children flee in horror at the sight of him
