I dunno, Grant: I think that Eloi's site was a dot-com, not a dot-net. Different site, I think.
For one hint of Eloi's perfidy, children, dig this: he's a cybersquatter. He registered the domain name www.grantmorrison.com before Grant himself did, forcing GM to either use the hyphenated grant-morrison name, or buy the non-hyphenated version off Eloi... or lt Eloi be his webmaster... hoping to force contact, either confrontationally or collaboratively. Creepy MISERY-like "I'm you're biggest fan" vibes, there.
He also ran a site with "technoccult" in the domain name, which was set up as invite-only, and gave off unpleasant more-revolutionary-than-thou vibes.
When Tom was having money troubles, Eloi "offered" to migrate Barbelith to his server... like Andy Calo, he had a thing about "saving" Barbelith--i.e., co-opting it, remaking it in his own image--and, like Andy, when crossed he engaged in ridculous, infantile shit-flinging, including the creation of multiple fictionsuits who agreed loudly with everything he said, talked down Barbelith and bigged up the obviously-superior Technoccult site.
Betty Woo busted him, as I recall, exposing his real name and mailing address...
That said, the no-hyphen grantmorrison.com address now points to the official GM site, and technoccult.com gives me a 404--which leads me to believe that Eloi is no longer active, and his former domains have expired and been reallocated.
More interestingto me: the name "Klint Finley." There is or was a Klint who used to post here. Uncommon name. Same person? |
