Guy McLaren is Bolton DeVenter

I’ve kept his secret too long. I’ve known this from almost day one.
Sorry for not busting him sooner.
People are still being duped by McLaren, so it’s time to out him.
He was also the Shirtless Blogger. And a couple of other identities who never became famous.
McLaren is an Internet chameleon, prepared to do anything for a bit of fame.
It’s quite sad really. Poor little guy.
If I told you the lengths he is prepared to go to for fame, you probably would not believe me.

Bolton Deventer admits he is a faker
Posted on October 16th, 2007 by Richard Catto 2,486 views
An anonymous coward calling himself Bolton Deventer created this WordPress.com blog calling it Web Traffic Made Easy.
The little cowardly shit-for-brains wrote a pathetic excuse, today, for his activities which although satirical in nature only aspired to be comedy on its best days, and there were no best days. His latest post announced the closure of his fake blog and the termination of his fake personality, Bolton Deventer, but without disclosing his true identity.
Bolton Deventer, you are a fag!
The site he created was meant to parody Guy McLaren who recently ran into trouble for his controversial ideas and his use of muti to submit his own blog posts. A rabid crowd of arseholes on muti objected to his tactics and banned McLaren from using it further.
David Duarte is a co-owner of muti, one of the movers and shakers in the local SA Blogosphere and he should know better than to buy into the banning of McLaren. I’m not saying that he explicitly banned McLaren, but he also has not intervened to say that that is not ethical and fair and see to it that McLaren is not hindered from further using muti.
Fact is, muti is as, McLaren states, largely irrelevant in bringing any significant traffic to local blogs. Muti does not drive much traffic here. What does is StumbleUpon. Very often when a post of mine is stumbled, I get a sudden rush of hundreds of visitors.
My friends stumble me often and I stumble them to avoid the self submission of posts injunction. That injunction, however, is anyway lifted by StumbleUpon if you upgrade to a sponsored account which costs $20 per annum, which I have done. However, there is NO FRIKKING WAY I would give muti one red cent until they fix the bullshit that is going down there.
Until then, the David Duartes of South Africa can kiss my arse. I am not impressed with their offerings. Gentlemen, you are just going to have to do so much BETTER than what you are currently doing, which is sweet fanny fuck all. Giving me 3 or 4 visitors a day just does not CUT the mustard.
