Lolcow Intro: Michael Hirtes
Mike Hirtes is a man in his 50s that is infamous in the furry community online for his sockpuppetting, harassment, and attempts at scamming money for his own personal gain. He is a former eZine editor of FurPlay (now defunct) and user on DeviantArt and FurAffinity.
He was permanently banned from FA following an email exchange with its admin (Sean Piche, better known as Dragoneer) that was started when Dragoneer had caught Michael socking on his site to harass a woman Mike had been feuding with.
Anda s for how his Zine got shut down? Well, it was either he made his living off that or he lost his SSI checks, he had to choose one or the other. And he chose welfare.
In an incident on usenet, Hirtes was confronted after posts questioning the innocence of a 7 year old kid who had died

In July 2017 he was uncovered to have been using a network of dozens of twitter alts to “troll” infamous lolcow Christian Chandler. His technique consisted of A-Logging and regurgitating old memes from 2009-2010.
He was known by several names on the Forum KiwiFarms, where he was a very unpopular and confrontational user. On the site he went by: Slep, Aristocrat, I want CAKE, Polterbob, and most recently Totem Sanic.
