Squeakity Squeak Aka Darryl S . Kabatoff Has Been Punched And Spent Around 15 Years In Psych Hospitals Broke His Mom's Heart

Dar Kabatoff's In Town
POSTED MAY 21, 2002 BY ANDY BAIO
Usenet has the tendency to provide a public forum for those who would normally be scribbling in a closet. For example, take Daryl “Shawn” Kabatoff. For the last few years, he’s methodically gathered “statistics” from various sources, ranging
from local newspaper obituary pages to the food court of the Saskatoon Midtown Plaza mall. With all the raw data he’s collected, he’s attempting to prove daily that our full names are in “mathematical harmony” with our birthdays.

His rants normally focus on a single individual he’s met or read about, starting with calculations related to their birthdate and full names, blending in whatever other personal information about their family members, spouses, birthplace, and career he�
��s been able to glean. From there, it descends into a mix of numerology, religious zealotry, and personal torment. I’ve never seen anything like it.

With all the prime numbers, Fibonacci sequences and biblical references, it’s like reading the notebooks of Maximillian Cohen and John Nash combined. Unsurprisingly, several posts unfold to reveal a history of painful mental illness. If you have some
time, take a look. I’ve detailed his posting history and a several sample posts below.

August 9, 2004: The Saskatoon Star-Phoenix published an article about Daryl and his encounter with one woman.

September 22, 2004: Does anyone have a photo of Kabatoff? If so, please e-mail me.

scarier still is that saskatoon is my hometown, though not my current residence. and every single place he’s mentioned in his posts (most notably nervous harold’s and the roastary) were either places i’ve been (as it’s a small city of 200K) or
hangouts, ie. the two places mentioned. chances are i could email some friends back home and find out if they know of him, they (my friends that is) being of the broadway-centred slacker ilk. myself, too, until i got out of there. eh, anyways. thought it
odd to see all this.

midtown mall. i ate my meals there, whilst waiting several days in line for star wars episode one, at the theatre across the street.

Fascinating. It’s like he’s trying to take chaos and bind it into whatever rules he can find, religious, logical and otherwise. Numbers and math have a reliable pattern, something that can always be proven to true or false. People and religion do not.

It reminds me of Darren Aronofsky’s movie Pi. It’s the story of an paraniod genius who is trying to find a pattern in Pi. A group that takes interest in his work is convinced that the existence of Pi, a number whose existence can be proven but no
quantified, is proof of the existence of God.

Kabatoff’s hunt for patterns in something as random as name selection is a way to reconcile his deeply logical thought process with his conflicting religious views.

Exactly. I probably shouldn’t have, but I e-mailed Daryl yesterday, asking him if he’d be willing to create a numerological analysis for me. I also asked him if he had seen either Pi or A Beautiful Mind, and what he thought of them. If he replies, I�
�ll be sure to post it.

Shawn once went to a funeral for a Jehovah Witness that shot himself and the lemon tarts were very bad, they were not only sour but were rubbery as well. Shawn said that the guy was some kind of Jehovah Witness prophet, he saw in advance that the lemon
tarts at his funeral were to be very very bad, and so he shot himself. Shawn said that he never ate pumpkin pie at a funeral but would like to some day. Shawn likes pumpkin pie and so I have been practicing to make very good pumpkin pies.

Mr. Kabatoff attempts to portray himself as a victim, but in fact he is a violent predatory pedophile who is well known to his local law enforcement.

In his post to multiple newsgroups with the subject “Collecting Mail For The Coming Anti-Christ”, he encourages mothers to send him photos of their naked daughters. Mr Kabatoff explains, “I personally did not want photographs being mailed to (the
coming Ant-Christ) that were of underage children unless the parent was signing consent.”

He is banned from virtually all the shopping malls in his community because he stalks young people and sexually harasses them. He has an extensive arrest record which includes sexual molestation charges. He’s been hospitalized in mental institutions
several times because he likes to accost “nubile cuties.”

He writes about his contact with young girls in many posts. Search newsgroup archives for posts by him containing the word “nubile”. As part of his harrassment, he provides personal details in a public forum, such as the real names of real children,
in these and other posts.

About one girl he met at a mall, he writes, “I wanted Callie in my bed or I wanted her and her sister dead.” http://groups.google.com/groups?q=Daryl+Shawn+Kabatoff+dead+or+in+my+bed& hl=en&lr=&ie=UTF-8&selm=asqm35%24tjq5j%241%40ID-136124.news.dfncis.
de&rnu m=4

He not only curses children and prays for their death in his posts, he also enjoys attending the funerals of young people:

“And so, since nubile sweeties are found in greatest abundance at the funerals of high school students, then it is the funerals of high school students that make the very very best funerals, especially if there is food… I stuff my face (and my
pockets) with all the good food and look at all the pretty nubile sweeties and have the time of my life…” http://groups.google.com/groups?q=Daryl+Shawn+Kabatoff+nubile+sex&hl=en&l r=&ie=UTF-8&scoring=d&selm=LfXN8.63042%24R53.25142039%40twister.socal.
rr. com&rnum=1

Many of his posts are sent to alt.teens.advice. However, he liberally spams, floods and crossposts his off-topic threatening and offensive missives to countless newsgroups.

Some people HAVE problems and some folks ARE problems. Don’t dismiss Mr. Kabatoff as a harmless nut. When he sends these posts to any newgroup, please help by reporting him to his ISP.

Thanks.

I knew of him when I was attending the University of Saskatchewan. He’d hang out in the Arts computer lab and all you’d see is screens of numbers racing by on his laptop. I have an original copy of his “Collecting Mail for the Coming Anti-Christ”
pamphlet, and have seen him be hauled away by campus security on more than one occasion.

My friends and I refer to him as “Crazy Number Man”.

I’ve been posting to (and about) Shawn for over two years with big gaps in between. He has seen Pi and didn’t like it and didn’t think it resembled him at all. (Wrong, it fits him to a tee) He doesn’t have total recall and has stated that he
travels with a lap top to notate items. Also, he uses “cut n’ paste” a lot if you read all the way through his ramblings. He is anti-social as shown by his angry statements towards those who, by his own admission, have been kind (but not kind
enough) to him. Still, he’s intelligent and seems to be able to “take a joke” on occassion. That’s where I came in.

Wow, I was given some literature and some disks by this “crazy” (I’m trying not to judge here) fella when I was working in S’toon. I was kind to him over a cup of tea where I worked (he didn’t bother me). . . until the police asked for the
stuff he gave me as evidence. I thought I was just being friendly to an odd (yet metaphysically-minded) nut.

Now I find my name posted on the internet. I didn’t have time to read anything he gave me but I feel nothing but pity for him. To draw so much from so little–I really had hardly any contact at all with him and he seemed quite normal. His mind must
truly be on a different plane.

I do admit that I am grateful I had no further contact with him. I hope he finds some sort of peace and does no more harm to himself and others.

I live in a different place, under a different name, so I am not afraid of being found. Has anyone been able to help this man–or at the very least keep him from obsessing about people he doesn’t know?

this man makes me utterly disgusted after reading his comments on many of his posting on the internet. having been personally affected by his ‘words of wisdom’, yeah right, i cannot bare to see this man pass by me so often on broadway anymore. it is
unbelievable how sick minded he is and how nothing has been done to stop him from saying the horrible things he says. I personally know SEVERAL people in our community who cannot wait to smile once this guy’s going to be regretting commenting on a
friends tragic death. no one deserves to read this and no one deserves to have anything written about them such as your sick comments. Im sure MANY people out there agree with me.

I did not know about any of this stuff daryl was supposedly responsible for before I read this. I’ve known this guy for about a year and he seems like a regular guy to me. Sometimes I don’t agree with his views but whatever people disagree at times.
He never appeared to be threatening or dangerous to me or my friends. I am NOT going to believe these things that are said about daryl unless someone has proof (my e-mail should be on here). I think Daryl is very interesting person, I am interested
mathematics too, mainly chaos math and the game theory is very interesting for me.

Ps. Daryl has the RIGHT TO FREEDOM of speech no matter what he says that is absolute and fundamental!!! Remember it’s only words!

I have known Mr. Kabatoff for over 2 decades. Not very well, but well enough to assure you he is clinically psychotic. I never really thought he was all that harmful. A bloody damned nuisance to be sure. He’s a classic Troll from before the internet
defined this. His game, aside from his fascination with numbers, is about inciting passionate reactions. To this end he has earned himself more than one punch in the snoot and a whole lot of time locked up, usually in the psych ward.

In person he’s a charming man and there have been times I shook my head in pity that such an intelligent and charming fellow was so utterly insane and beyond all hope of ever being tolerable as companion to anyone except maybe a long suffering dog.

I asked him, out of what I thought was some level of mutual respect and kindness, to do me the favour of not posting my name or information publicly. He refused. I asked him 3 times. He refused all three times. I have given him my most terrible “
punishment” I ever give anyone. Not much, but it’s enough for me. I will not speak to him nor regard him with friendliness again nor ever again lend him any assistance or kindness.

So far as I’m concerned, that’s as bad as it gets. I do regret that people like this exist. I don’t think he actually suffers. I think what suffering he displays is part of his game, I think he is too psychopathic to actually feel any negative
feelings and only expresses same when it suits his agenda of inciting emotions in others.

This website is doubtless his proudest achievement to date.

One day Daryl Shawn Kabatoff asked me if I wanted to ‘play a game’ when I was having a coffee in a cafe. he collected personal info, and then after his trees/ antichrist/ penis tirade, refused to give up the info he had coppied down. Now there are
posts on the net slandering me in all kinds of ways and he claims he is seeking to ‘marry’ my ‘nubile’ little sister, etc. I didn’t acted very low-key around him, and polite that day, realizing too late that he was dangerous, and fearing that
he would get violent when I asked for the paper with my personal info on it.

Kabatoff has been arrested and lobomized seversal times. he is banned from several places in Saskatoon.

To this day, he still hounds people for their personal info and posts it on the net, without their consent. I post to him on Usenet sometimes, but he ignores anyone who speaks he truth.

He prays for the DEATHS of children. He has been recently writing about how he wants them smashed on rocks.

I doubt he will ever get psychiatric treatment voluntarily. therefore I doubt he will ever get mentally better any time soon. He twists the facts to suit himself. He thinks he is in the right and everyone else is wrong, and I just don’t have the time
to try to reason with him anymore.

BTW, anyone defending Kabatoff is usually him. so jebus_babe_us is kabatoff.

I remember Shawn Kabatoff from my days in Saskatoon in the early to mid 80’s. I recently wondered what happened to the him, so I did a google search. and discovered what he’d been up to.

I remember him from his political career, before the days of the Internet’s popularity. He ran for Student Council President on a negative campaign, and got upsetted when it was reported by the campus and local media as a negative campaign. He then ran
for the provincial legislature. Under a pseudonym. Then he ran again. Under a different pseudonym. Then he got upsetted when he wasn’t taken seriously.

That is the only thing I can add that hasn’t already been stated here.

This same individual was at a local festival in Saskatoon for street performers and alternative arts (‘Fringe Festival’). He charged me a fee to connect my name to my birthday with numerology.

now my personal details as well as those of my family are posted on the internet.

Has anyone contacted law enforcement about this guy? Surely something can be done about this mencae! It would take me weeks to read all of his postings though. I just don’t have the time.

In addition to 2 runs at provincial politics, he also apparently ran for Mayor of Saskatoon once.

I spoke with someone who knew him from local ‘hang-outs’ and said he once saw him get slapped by a young girl and he cried for an hour like a baby.

This man is the definition of insane.

does anybody knw if he is employed? And if so, where? He surely couldn’t be insane at his place of work, could he? I would like to visit his place of work and turn the tables on him!

wow – this guy has just made our local paper – the Saskatoon Star Pheonix, thus exposing his penchant for sharing personal information over the internet…. I had never heard of him before and just spent the last hour catching up on his “story”
via his various usenet and groups postings…

What I am really dissappointed about however, is the apparant defeatist approach our local law enforcement agency has taken on this issue. It was reported in the paper that they think there is little they can do to stop his internet postings. WHAT
HAPPENED TO OUR RECENT PIPEDA LEGISLATION??!?!? (http://www.privcom.gc.ca/fs-fi/index_e.asp)

It is my understanding that no person or business (which is what MR. Kabatoff was in fact running at the fringe) can collect personal information without prior disclosure regarding their intent to use or disseminate said information AS WELL AS subsequent
consent from the client. Kabatoff is at least breaking our newest privacy legislation and should be accordingly charged.

This whole episode is really starting to scare me.

The Saskatoon StarPhoenix published another story on August 10, 2004 about Daryl Kabatoff. The link for it is http://www.canada.com/saskatoon/starphoenix/news/story.html?id=00249052-fbc4-4892-88da-08d990b6eba9

However, this will not be good for long as the StarPhoenix does not keep its stories online. So I am pasting the story here:

Busker’s mom wants police to pick up son

Man ejected from Fringe ‘very ill’

Sarah Gibb

Special to The StarPhoenix

Tuesday, August 10, 2004

The mother of a busker ejected from the Fringe Festival for posting personal information of Fringe visitors online has appealed to the police and doctors to have her son picked up because he is “very ill.”

Daryl Shawn Kabatoff has recently posted angry Internet messages, saying he wants local children to die and has revealed that he’s trying to obtain guns, the StarPhoenix has learned.

He is now under police investigation, said Insp. Jeff Bent, spokesperson for Saskatoon Police Service.

Kabatoff’s posts, which are full of references to religion, sex and death, contain the names, birthdays, descriptions and workplaces of dozens of Saskatoon residents and their families, including in some instances their deceased children.

He obtained some of the information from children’s obituaries published in the StarPhoenix. The busker says in some posts that he hopes the other children in the families die too.

Kabatoff, who sat on a Mexican blanket at the intersection of 11th Street and Broadway during the Fringe, recently offered on a bulletin board to trade one of his trademark numerological name analyses for a rifle or shotgun.

In another post, he says he is acquiring a firearms licence.

In response to the contents of Kabatoff’s posts, obtained by the StarPhoenix, Insp. Bent said: “(We) are going to assign some investigators to this immediately . . . I appreciate your call because after the fact people say, ‘Why wasn’t something
done?’ ”

The balding, pony-tailed 46-year-old man, who stood for mayor in 1982 and 1985, is a well-known figure in Saskatoon’s shopping malls and coffee shops.

Kabatoff believes people’s names are given to them by God and are harmonized with their dates of birth. He says he can reveal this relationship using mathematics and for years has asked passers-by to let him analyse their names.

An online search has revealed Kabatoff has posted around 1,000 highly disturbing messages on Usenet sites since 2001.

Usenet is a system of worldwide bulletin boards, also called newsgroups, where people post messages and correspond about shared interests.

Kabatoff’s messages contain the personal details of scores of Saskatoon residents, often teenage girls he refers to as “nubile sweeties” after meeting them in the food court at Midtown Plaza, the Mall at Lawson Heights, the Broadway Roastery and
Starbucks.

Kabatoff is notorious in the Usenet community. One site calls him “one of Usenet’s most elusive and creepy psychopaths.”

Another user asks: “At this stage, what can be done under law to stop him getting a gun from any source?”

Several Usenet members implore someone to alert Saskatoon police to Kabatoff’s posts seeking a firearm.

A post dated June 15, 2004 from a Daryl S. Kabatoff using a Shaw e-mail address and Saskatoon box number, states that he is looking for: “A) a rifle for deer hunting this fall, B) a shotgun for the early deer-hunting season, C) a .22-caliber (sic)
rifle for improving my shooting skills during the summer.”

The post, entitled “Wanting firearm” and sent to the calgary.forsale newsgroup, continues: “I’ll offer you a trade . . . I will show you gorgeous harmony between your name and birthday and numbers in the Bible . . . In exchange for your unwanted
firearm I’ll provide you with a short essay that you will treasure far more.”

The next day, June 16, the same post appeared on the talk.politics.guns newsgroup, this time called “Trade for Gun.”

Kabatoff says he’s in the process of obtaining a gun licence.

A June 2004 Usenet post from him states: “I am in the process of applying for and obtaining a license (sic) to acquire a rifle . . . for hunting animals and not people. If somebody . . . trades a gun for my work before I obtain the license (sic), that
gun will be received by a friend who is legally allowed to possess such . . . ”

Attempts to reach Kabatoff for comment were unsuccessful.

In a telephone interview Monday, Kabatoff’s mother, who asked not to be named, sobbed as she begged doctors and the police for help.

“He is not being treated at all. The doctors say they can’t force him . . . When he is well, he is a likeable person (who) is so nice. But when he’s ill, he’s very ill. He needs . . . the police or somebody to take him in for treatment.

“He did go to a hospital a number of times. He just absolutely refuses the treatment. Shall I pack up and leave or put my head in the sand or what, because I just can’t take any of this anymore. I wish he would just be picked up.” She added that
she does not believe her son is dangerous.

Kabatoff’s long and angry posts contain names, birthdays, physical descriptions of people, where they work and the names and birthdays of their family members. The details are freely given to Kabatoff by his unsuspecting customers when he offers to
analyse their names.

His most recent post, dated Aug. 8, names a 24-year-old woman he met on the first day of this year’s Fringe Festival. He refers to her and her friends as “cheap, filthy assholes.”

Kabatoff also trawls through obituaries, mainly in the StarPhoenix, looking for details of teenagers who have recently died. He posts the information on bulletin boards along with his analysis of the deceased’s name, sometimes adding that he is glad
the young person has died and that he hopes the family loses their other children too.

He claims to attend the funerals of these teenagers so he can meet “nubile sweeties” and eat free food.

One of his posts reads: “(S)ince nubile sweeties are found in greatest abundance at the funerals of high school students, then it is the funerals of high school students that make the very, very best funerals, especially if there is food . . . I stuff
my face (and my pockets) with all the good food and look at all the pretty nubile sweeties and have the time of my life . . .”

Kabatoff writes in a post dated July 22 this year: “I was busking . . . at Five Corners on Broadway Avenue. (Name withheld) stopped to provide stats . . . He said he had no money for me . . . You people have absolutely zero respect for me . . . I in
turn have zero respect for you and so don’t require your permission to post these stats on the Usenet. Furthermore I am on my knees and begging God to . . . terminate the lives of these children. If I find any of these family members in the obituaries
I will cheer with utter glee . . . and I will post your stats again.”

Kabatoff appears to keep an elaborate cross-referencing system on his laptop computer of the families whose “stats” he obtains, so he can compare the names with published obituaries.

A recent post based on a StarPhoenix obituary begins: “Oh dear. (Name withheld) hung herself in her basement bedroom at her parent’s home on (date withheld). Her brother (name withheld) provided stats on May 9th 2002, he hangs around Broadway Avenue,
the street in Saskatoon with the poster poles shaped like penises. I first met him about 10 years ago.”

The post ends with Kabatoff calling the family and the rest of the community, “the God-damned shit of the earth.”

Some of Kabatoff’s most disturbing posts are based on the obituaries of children. Several of the families he has targeted lost their children at birth. His posts mock the parents and their grief.

A message dated July 6, 2004 to the parents of a deceased 14-year-old Saskatoon girl states: “I am crying out to God against your family and am requesting that He . . . terminates the lives of your other children . . . If I see any other (name withheld)
in the obituaries I will cheer with utter glee and post your stats again.”

A post to the parents of a 15-year-old boy killed in an accident reads: “Well now I shit on you, I rejoice in your loss of (name withheld) and pray for the loss of (your daughter).”

To the parents of another young Saskatoon resident who died, Kabatoff writes: “What you God-damned filthy assholes paid for (your son’s) funeral could have supported me overseas for months.”

Kabatoff, who claims to have worked in the 1980s as a social worker in Whitecourt, Alta., and says he has a degree in anthropology, was reported to police during this year’s Fringe Festival by a woman who gave him her personal details before being
warned by passers-by that Kabatoff would post them.

Nancy (not her real name) told the StarPhoenix: “This man is preying on people. The public needs to be warned.”

After the StarPhoenix ran a story Saturday about Nancy’s experience, Kabatoff’s Fringe busking licence was withdrawn.

Readers wanting to check whether Kabatoff has posted their names can go to http://www.google.com, enter his surname or his signature line “God gives you your name,” then click on “groups.”

Kabatoff himself moderates a newsgroup at alt.dear.whitehouse.

His mother says she has lived with this turmoil for years. She asks for understanding.

“Heaven help you and your children if they ever have mental health problems,” she said.

i caught this guy talking to my two little sisters (ages 10-14 at the time) in the midtown mall food court. i was suspicious and quickly found a way to get them away from this stranger, and scolded them both for speaking to him. he told me the meaning of
all this questions was ‘harmony’. after reading the front page article in the saskatoon star phoenix today, august 10th, i talked to them again and realised that it wasn’t just their names they gave out, but mine and my other sister’s, our last
name and birth dates, address, everything. now i’m trying to search up his late posts in fear that he does have information on myself and my family. this man deserves to be locked up.

also, in the article it states that he says something about the suicide death of a young girl by hanging. i know this family, i knew the girl he spoke of and her family of which he calls ‘the god damned shit of the earth’. this man deserves to be put
somewhere dark and by himself.. saskatoon should no longer be plagued by this fanatic.

In the late ’80s or early ’90s he posted posters on lampposts and utility boxes in Saskatoon full of numerological weirdness. These included a cartoon character logo that was a modified version of “Cran Berry,” a mascot character the Meewasin
Valley Authority here in Saskatoon was using at the time. As I remember them they were of a quality level that indicated they were cooked up on a computer before being photocopied or however he had them printed. Some discussed a young man who disappeared
while attending university elsewhere, claiming he was eaten by Satanists, as Kabatoff has claimed tens of thousands of other people have been.

Police watching busker who says children must die

Sarah Gibb

Saskatchewan News Network; CanWest News Service

Tuesday, August 10, 2004

SASKATOON — A busker ejected from the Fringe Festival for posting personal details of Fringe visitors online has posted angry Internet messages saying he wants local children to die and is trying to obtain guns, The Saskatoon StarPhoenix has learned.

Daryl Shawn Kabatoff is now under police investigation, said Saskatoon Police Insp. Jeff Bent.

The posts, which are full of references to religion, sex and death, contain the names, birthdays, descriptions and workplaces of dozens of Saskatoon residents and their families, including, in some instances, their deceased children.

Some of the information was obtained from children’s obituaries published in The StarPhoenix. The busker says in his posts he hopes the other children in the families die, too.

Kabatoff, who sat on a Mexican blanket at the intersection of 11th Street and Broadway during the Fringe, recently offered on a bulletin board to trade one of his trademark numerological name analyses for a rifle or shotgun.

In another post, he says he is acquiring a firearms licence.
