Ealy was eventually banned from Shacknews as a result of his antics. Some users found him to be very entertaining and uniquely funny, others felt he was harmful to the various communities he inhabited. A defunct account on the website, Epinions, may show he was once a reviewer on that website. He also made a few shock site images.

= The Two Towers petition =

The text of the petition reads:

Those of us who have seen The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring know what an amazing director Peter Jackson is. When I learned that there apparently was to be a sequel, I was overjoyed. However, Peter Jackson has decided to tastelessly name the sequel The Two Towers . The title is clearly meant to refer to the attacks on the World Trade Center. In this post-September 11 world, it is unforgiveable that this should be allowed to happen. The idea is both offensive and morally repugnant. Hopefully, when Peter Jackson and, more importantly, New Line Cinema see the number of signatures on this petition, the title will be changed to something a little more sensitive.

The online petition sparked widespread controversy and voluminous Flaming throughout the Blogosphere as fans of the Tolkien novels created their own petitions attacking Klerck s. Eventually, a campaign to sink Klerck s petition succeeded in signing up thousands of (possibly forged) names, and petitionsonline.com removed it from their website.

= Death =

On March 8th, 2005 he was allegedly found dead in the bathroom of his boyfriend s apartment, the day he posted a suicide note on his LiveJournal. He stated he had a little bit of depression but he was mostly bored with life. From what he stated in his last chat sessions, he wanted to use a shotgun to kill himself instead of carbon dioxide as he once said he would use. He stated he wanted to make do with what he already had.

Kevin s trolls and suicide were memorialized as the subject of Episode 8 in Season 2 of the l0de radio hour.

A log of his last IRC conversation is located at [http://trolldb.com/klerck_finalchat.txt http://trolldb.com/klerck_finalchat.txt]. Kevin s final words were:
