Yes, a childish title. But when dealing with Mark Whitecotton, sometimes you have to stoop to childish behavior.
Let’s look at his most recent entry, and examine the lies or plain stupidity.
1). Mark Whitecotton bitches that The Whitecotton Tales is blocked on the Way Back Machine internet archive. For his information, there is a six month delay before the website shows archived pages. Whitecotton Tales is only four months old.
In any case, when the address was put in, this is what the search engine said:
Whitecotton Tales suggests that Mark (AKA “Steve” “Josh” and “Gary”) wait a couple of months to enjoy the archived website. Or, since only minor editorial changes have been made to the site since it was created, he can enjoy browsing through all of the interesting entries chronicling his various blogs and lies.
2). Whitecotton Tales did not mention that cute usage of Ard Hoyt’s photo inside the television (so clever!). In discussing the disappearing Ard Hoyt’s photographs, it was the Twitter and MyBlogLog websites that were clearly being referred to (and screen captured). Also mentioned was the lengthy use of Ard Hoyt’s two photographs as profile pictures stretching back to at least June 2006 up until February 29, 2008.
“Steve” used the two photographs in many different places. Here’s an example, on February 28, 2008, Mark Whitecotton, as “Steve,” left a comment on a very well read (and respected!) blog. The screen capture, presented below, clearly shows that “Steve” was using Ard Hoyt’s picture as his avatar. on that date.
Granted, many people use illustrations or cartoons as avatars. However, the use of the photograph in “Steve’s” profile on his website, on the Twitter page, and so on, all point out one thing. FRAUD.
3). Lastly, but certainly not leastly, the most ridiculous statement, presented in the following screen grab:
Oh yeah, the “I was hacked” explanation. Uh huh. Right.
So Mark Whitecotton, you still haven’t explained why you were using Ard Hoyt’s pictures and claiming they were your own. They were displayed on your blog for over a year-and-a-half. And your “Josh” personality (what a douche, in our editorial opinion) and your “Gary” personality (whatever happened to that dullard?) have never explained how they could read your ‘blog’ and not ask you what was going on, especially since “Josh” supposedly lived in your house for such a long time.
But again, “Steve,” “Gary,” and “Josh” (and don’t forget not-dead-Marc) are all the same person, so there you have it.


It’s too bad that the photo scam wasn’t discovered earlier – cuz wordpress has a pretty strict policy regarding impersonating people and using others photos. He would have been shut down for sure.
I think it’s interesting that Marc/Mark Whitecotton is no longer using ANY face pictures on any of his blogs. The fact that he was so adamant in earlier postings that those photos were indeed him and FUCK us all that we didn’t believe him: he’s now totally ignoring that fact and refuses to admit he lied.
What a fucktard.
He needs help.
I think someone should contact Mr. Hoyt and show him screen shot of what this idiot has done to his image.
