About the Miserable User Modification...the rest of the story

I submitted a comment on that anonymous blog last night, which has not been passed through yet, so I will post a similar comment here.

The "Miserable User Modification." was never installed, nor seriously considered by anyone. It was brought up by me, in jest. After a day of many fights on the forum and we were all tired of the never-ending dramas. Anonymous left my name off of that post. I am the unnamed 'former moderator'. Perhaps they are missing the entire thread and chats regarding this? Who knows?

So, again - that mod/add-on feature was never installed and that post was written by me. I was never actually a mod, nor would anyone ever want me to be.

Another rumor to address

Just heard a rumor that a Staff member at SBFII is apparently spreading - that I am involved in a new hacking event. If so, let me address this right now.

I have not hacked or attempted to hack into your site or any site, nor do I have any interest in doing so. I have never even used a proxy. 

Nope, Not us.

Just to quell a few new rumors..

1. Dyebat, Citroenlady, Knudt and I are not in any way involved with any anonymous blogs or twitter accounts. We have always posted with our names and will continue to do so.

2. While we certainly can empathize with the frustration and anger that many fans have towards SBFII and/or the Staff, and/or some members - we are working through data to get at the truth. We are dealing with facts. We don't agree with mixing some facts with unfounded accusations, posting personal names and or adding unwarranted insults.

3. DJG received his information via members and staff permission errors. He has stated his intent and shown restraint in using pseudonyms. He was the victim of a lengthy coordinated hate campaign and is clearing his name.

4. As far as I know, there is only one person in the SB community that wants SBFII destroyed and that is the cyber-bully cyber-stalker known as WalkerD, Mark Conner, Orgonon, Willson, and many many other names.

A Few comments

Every so often I have to stick in a brief post so we don't get such big comment pile-ups that we can't tell which person or post the commenters are responding to.  So this post is meant for that purpose.  Just a few additional housekeeping items:  We can and do delete a very few comments for specific reasons.  One is unsubstantiated accusations made against other fans, (not the blog owners) especially if their real or screen names are used.  We've deleted 2 posts on that basis, but just wanted to let you know the reason.

Anonymice who hide behind proxies (mice in cat's clothing?) in order to harass and attack others without evidence will not have their comments posted.  You got something negative to say, state your name, and show your reasons. We don't need  ninja mice.

 Disagreement is to be expected, but it can be done respectfully.  Which brings to mind something I was not aware of.  The term "ElseWhere"  (or EW) is apparently considered pejorative by some fans at SBFII, including those not involved in the current conflicts.  I apologize if I have offended any of them by using it here.

If you don't trust a site or the site owners, do not visit that site. Period. With or without a proxy, data is mined. You are not as private as you may want to believe that you are. Some proxy services (particularly free services) are used by spammers, scammers and other criminals. Be careful. The laws permit some online exposures of personal information. It is permitted for exposing malfeasance. Many companies and people have access to data online. Your ISP, your Host provider, web owners, your email provider, chat, email and forum participants. If your purpose is noble, why is there such a need for hiding your identity? When someone insists that you not tell anyone about who they are, what you talk about, and holds secret meetings - BE SUSPICIOUS.
