🎨 Artcow Iconoclast / Jonathan Mack Sweet - The Chris-Chan of Arkansas

[John Titor]

I know you're reading this @The_Iconoclast. I thought I just remind you that even if all your enemies at ASU died, you are still never going back there ever again.

I have no worries about the future of artificial intelligence. Can confirm: there are indeed no categories for this.

I must say that Sweets definitely dropped to a new low with this.

One down, five to go.

That's not going to help you Sweets, because what you just typed will forever keep your sociopathic ass away from campus forever. You are crowing about the fact that this person is dead. On top of that, there's also the fact that you're likely on some blacklist considering how you never bothered to go to get that psych evaluation for that Master's.

Might I break in here for just a moment to insert a hearty "Ha!"

This was in response to people remembering the deceased. He is literally shitting on this person because obviously due to his only experiences there, she was some horrible person. By the way, you probably shouldn't be using this logic Sweets; any other college would've dropped your garish and psychotic ass far quicker than this. So really, the fact you managed to squeeze out a BA in English is amazing. Hell, all this proves is that you're too much of a lazy fuck to use that degree. Pretty sure journalism only needs a BA. So honestly, you getting enraged over getting dropped is really dumb in retrospect.

Might I break in here again to add "Not by me, she won't.

And it's words like these that keep you out of getting that master's. Not that you needed it to get the jobs you wanted you imbecile. Was your plan literally "drag out my college years as long as possible?". Because if so, you're not particularly bright or wise; a job'd get you all those amenities by allowing you to use a paycheck, and better yet, you could get said job online.

Of course, this is a guy who doesn't get printers; which is awful since children can understand those just fine.

All I can say is, after all these years, my prayers have been answered. I' m finally free.

Which is of course why you're not going to be able to ever come back or fulfill your Quixotic quest.

This is the only way.

splendiferous

My new favorite word .

Aren't there like 328472 other people connected to ASU that Sweetums hates? His former "mentor"? The editor of the paper at the time? Unless he poisoned, I mean learned of the deaths of, all those other people at once, I'm sure he'll be right back to ranting, grumbling, and blaming in no time.

According to his blog entry crowing over the death of this woman:

One down, five to go.

The laws of probability say that he'll be dead before all of them are.

 

[Dr. Merkwurdichliebe]

Definitely before the ones who were his classmates.

He might outlive his mom's old boyfriend from the small-engine repair shop.

 

[ASU]

He spent all these years plotting revenge but the only life he's even come close to destroying is his own.

It's Shakespearean levels of tragic.

Imagine being happy that an old lady died suddenly.

He's so deluded. He's cheering himself like he had something to do with it, like his life has fulfillment because time killed someone he hated. I'm trying to picture that mentality, waiting for people to die more or less of natural causes and crowing victory. The only image I can connect with that behavior is bitter senior citizens, the type that thumb through the obituaries every day to see if people they hate died. Jon is acting like a stereotype of a mentally ill senior citizen.

An apt description considering every single picture we've ever seen of the dude.

 

[DrJonesHat]

Oh, I'll just provide them with some interesting quotes and a few Web links to examine.

I'm much too polite to presume to suggest what response might be appropriate. I won't even inquire as to whether state law requires them to report to the police any knowledge they might have of someone boasting about creating child pornography.

What Mr. Sweet should really worry about is whether Ms. Thrasher -- a lady born and reared in Dixie -- has any old-school male relatives. I grew up around people who would track Mr. Sweet down and beat him to death with a trace chain for making those comments on the death of one of their female relatives. I'm sure Mr. Sweet grew up around those same people, but he is too oblivious to realize that his repugnant gloating might result in dire consequences for himself.

I'm sure Ms. Thrasher was not the only person who knew of/enforced Sweet's ban. I have mentioned in this thread that I felt sorry for him, and pitied him. His response to Ms. Thrasher's death takes all that away. He is a vile, reprehensible person. His problems and his joke of a life are entirely his doing. He deserves everything that's happened to him. I do hope Ms. Thrasher's eventual successor is briefed on Mr. Sweet. In the meantime, I'm sure other people know of it, and will contact the authorities if Sweet shows up. I wonder if Sweet thinks that since she died, that means he's allowed back on campus. Of course, getting there will be an issue, as Blytheville is some distance from Jonesboro. Assuming he can get someone to drive him, I wonder how long he'll wander around before getting arrested, as he is trespassing.

Herr Doktor, do let us know if you get any response back. I wish we had someone at ASU to alert us if Sweet tries to return.

 

[MarineTrainedTard]

Sweet is doing a really good job of ensuring no one anywhere will feel any sort of sympathy for him for anything.

Like, sometimes I feel bad for him because he's evidently mildly retarded, but then.... this.

 

[Ca Ira]

The laws of probably say that he'll be dead before all of them are.

Not if the saying that "the candle that burns twice as bright burns half as long" also applies in reverse.

 

[Dr. Merkwurdichliebe]

I feel bad for his mom. who has to provide food and shelter for an able-bodied, middle-aged, college-educated man who "helps out the family" with income from the Tugboat Crazy and spends his days drawing racist comics, watching TV and stalking his many enemies online.

 

[Adamska]

Don't forget about how he used the fact she got badly injured in a mugging as a way to get pity for himself, or that he got mad at his mom for not sticking with the business that'd have netted him a small apartment at the shop, even though she was the one that lost money in the deal. Or the fact that she had to strip control of his tugboat away from him because he kept wasting it on pyramid schemes and get-rich-quick scams too. I'd probably be pretty jaded if I had a sprog like Sweets myself. At least her other kids seem to be better adjusted though, even if one of them is still battling the drug addiction.

 

[Gonzo Lubitch]

I've got to admit, I've spend an inordinate amount of time trying to figure out exactly what this guy's damage is. The racism and laziness aren't particularly shocking, but the way he steers EVERYTHING back to his "newspaperman" days and his ex-girlfriend is (seriously) pretty troubling.

Until people posted some of his messages from 2001 or so, I thought for sure you guys were all getting trolled. Every time he veered into CloudCuckooUniversityLand, I thought "He's laying it on too thick, he's gonna show his hand." But seeing it span back 15 years...well, I guess there's a slight possibility he's an Andy Kaufman style genius working the long con on...TV Tropers? But I kind of doubt it.

Anyway, I've got a brother-in-law who gets fired a lot, because, basically, he says every thought that pops into his head. And every time he gets fired, he RAGES about how unfair it is, and keeps asking me (for some reason) how he can "get back" at whatever company fired him. "How can I let other people know how horrible they are? How do I find out who applied to work there so I can warn them?" And he'll obsess over it for weeks until he gets another crappy temp job.

Basically, what I'm saying is that Iconoclast is crazier than my brother-in-law, and that scares the piss out of me.

 

[Konstantinos]

At least her other kids seem to be better adjusted though, even if one of them is still battling the drug addiction.

Man, something is up if your sibling with a smack problem is more functional than you are. Especially when you have no real problems of your own while his are extremely dire.

Herr Doktor, do let us know if you get any response back. I wish we had someone at ASU to alert us if Sweet tries to return.

This could be Sweet's version of the "Under New Management" sign at the Game Place that "tricked" Chris into going back and getting arrested.

 

[Dr. Merkwurdichliebe]

Herr Doktor, do let us know if you get any response back. I wish we had someone at ASU to alert us if Sweet tries to return.

Will do.

There have been some delays on getting copies of Mr. Sweet's columns from The Herald, but there are still a couple of other options to exhaust. If it comes down to it, I'll just drive down to Jonesboro.

Moving on.

I don't recall the following information being discussed in any detail in this thread.

Begin quote from one of Mr. Sweet's websites:

Updates:

• 9/19/05. Got this in my e-mail today:

"Please do not contact any of my writers in the future. We've told you over the last several
years to stop, and I'm telling you nicely to stop now. Otherwise, we will contact the proper
authorities to deal with the situation."

Editor-in-Chief, ASU Herald

So it seems they're threatening to arrest me if I don't stop asking for an interview! Don't they realize they tried sending a couple campus Deputy Dawgs to my house before, way back in 2002, to scare me into shutting up--and it failed? [Emphasis added.] Don't they ever stop to think or ask themselves just what the faculty advisor is hiding that necessitates these kinds of childish gambits? I told them if they try anything against me, I will haul them into court and take it out of their hide--which is the last thing they want: bad press. I'm in no danger. The Herald is just a paper tiger, after all. Well, if anything comes of this, I'll let you know. Unless I'm in a jail cell with no Net access. :rolls eyes:

End quote.

So, four years after he was expelled, Mr. Sweet's campaign of terror resulted in Arkansas State University sending police officers to "his" house. For those who are wondering, in many states, university police officers hold statewide commissions and are free to execute their duties anywhere within the state, including arresting someone living hundreds of miles from the campus as long as they have a warrant. (Since Mr. Sweet continues to stalk his victims and -- see below -- provide the public with their phone numbers and addresses, let's see how he likes the same treatment. I can just picture Belchy sprawled out in that broken-ass blue velvet recliner [Blue Velvet Recliner!] on the front porch, passing flatus and eructing until the neighbors call the cops. I hope Belchy's mom is setting aside some of his tugboat money for a new roof. Thinking of what this poor woman has endured saddens me greatly.)

And seven years after being expelled, he nonetheless carried on with his schrecklichkeit mission of harassing college students who were in elementary school when he finally went totally off his rocker.

On the same webpage and just above the previous quote, we find this:

Personal home/work addresses/phone numbers of key players in the plot against me are also available on request, through nostradamus13_2000@yahoo.com. Just put the words HERALD CONSPIRACY or RED YELLOW AND BLUE in the e-mail title.

To which I can only reply:Omnes sancti Angeli et Archangeli, orate pro nobis.

 

[The I Scream Man]

I honestly wish they would decide that making an example of him would be worth it, or at least serving him with a real warrant, just to show him up. I realize that that's just my vindictive side talkin, and that nothing substantial would come of it, but lol if anyone deserves to be knocked down a peg or six, it's Jon Thumb.

"I will haul them into court and take it out of their hide."

"My corps of attorneys will contact you in the morning wherever it is that you carry on your questionable activities."
-- Ignatius J. Reilly

"When I'm angry and bitter and planning revenge against some past enemy, that's when I'm the most together and clear-thinking." [It is very interesting that the only thing that can concentrate Mr. Sweet's feeble powers of ratiocination is a revenge fantasy.]
-- Jonathan M. Sweet

"If you molest us again, sir, you may feel the sting of the lash across your pitiful shoulders."
-- Ignatius J. Reilly

"Here at any rate is Ignatius Reilly, without progenitor in any literature I know of -- slob extraordinary, a mad Oliver Hardy, a fat Don Quixote, a perverse Thomas Aquinas rolled into one -- who is in violent revolt against the entire modern age, lying in his flannel nightshirt, in a back bedroom on Constantinople Street in New Orleans, who between gigantic seizures of flatulence and eructations is filling dozens of Big Chief tablets with invective."
-- Walker Percy on Ignatius J. Reilly

Has anyone else noticed the startling number of characteristics shared by Mr. Sweet and the protagonist of A Confederacy of Dunces -- a fat, repulsive, egoistic, over-educated loser who lives with his mom and enjoys flatulence and eructation? Could Sweet be modeling his life on one of the most grotesque characters in modern American literature?

If you have not read this book, you are missing an incredibly rare treat. I urge you to deny yourself no longer. Follow the link, or head to your local bookstore. Otherwise, well, you may feel the sting of the lash across your pitiful shoulders.
