My last word - for now.
Since it's now on f_w and personal attacks have been made against friends of mine (which is so far beyond the joke it's not even remotely funny or forgiveable), this is what I'm going to say about the current nonsense. Yes,
ckll, I was talking about you and the
dean_sam community yesterday. I still firmly believe the email you received is a fake, your 'proof' which you didn't even post yourself, is not proof, it's publically available information that can be found by anyone who can use Google.
That said, I'm pulling back from this now. I know what I think, if something more comes from it and I'm proven wrong I will stand up and apologise. Not for any personal attack on you because up until this moment I had not identified you in anything I said, no, I will apologise for bringing my friends into this nonsense and exposing them to wankery and personal insults.
For the record, *we* (since apparently this fandom has now become them and us - news to me) are not jealous that you were singled out. *We* asked for proof, *we* asked if you were sure you weren't being hoaxed, *we* were concerned that you might be checked out in advance of getting a Cease & Desist notice since your community promotes file sharing and distribution of copyrighted materials.
I think really that warden over on the f_w thread deserves the final word here, because really - genius.
