Partly Response-ish

Sep 30, 2006 21:21

I admit that I haven't read all of the posts from Micheka aka Laura aka Purple Popple aka Partly Bouncy, but I've read enough to know that people are going to have questions.

But more than that, it seems from Michela's account that various users of the Sugarquill and Gryffindor Tower forums/sites have been hearing lies about me for years. There's ( Read more... )

I am going to say this now. I broke some major fannish ethics while gathering this information, and if it were discovered I could very well lose my job. Please know, however, that I have seen the horrors of people abusing their power and I only pulled information relevant to these exposes. I won’t comment on what these things mean because I think that people can draw their own conclusions and take the information as it is ( ... )

I'm sure I'm not the only one with access to these records. If someone else has law enforcement access, I wouldn't be opposed to them do their own independent searches.

I don't know that the truth is exactly what the author's want. Either way, I'm not sure that the means justify the ends. While it may place doubt on some of their 'research', searching criminal and private records to settle a dispute within a fandom can tend to lend credence to their point of going to any means neccessary to obtain an objective. I was suggesting using personal recollection and documented evidence, but this may be stretching it a bit. Who's to say that someone might not use the same techniques and then another uses it and pretty soon...well, you get my point. If there is a law infraction in any of this 'history', I would suggest letting law enforcement and the courts decide rather than individual searches of private records ( ... )

They gain attention. Michaela, especially, is someone who's been in fandom for years, writing fic no one reads, creating "fandom histories" no one cares about, designing fake wikis no one can edit but her and then being enraged when no one takes them seriously, and putting herself forward as a "fandom academic" even though, unfortunately, she's borderline illiterate and can't keep her personal biases out of what should be neutral accounts. She's discovered that by slamming Heidi and Cassie, she can assure herself of a near-endless flow of attention. She's a parasite sucking off their fame, or infamy, or whatever you want to call it. Pity she misjudged her audience this time. Fandom Wank likes to be able to pretend to itself that what they're wanking about actually happened; when her account didn't even let them do that, they turned on her. I doubt anyone will pay the slightest attention to her reposted and "improved" account; she's shot her credibility, such as it was, in the foot. Good riddance.

Well, that's unfortunate that anyone would make that amount of effort over spite.

She has a post on her journal that she has taken down her account of events.

My concern was that if people start posting personal info, it could get real nasty, real fast. Much worse than it is now, especially if someone has a job where that access compromises someone's privacy and/or security. And, that there were better ways to handle these things. Not that sanity would work at this point.

Msscribe was hospitalized at least five times in that three-year period, twice for surgery according to her application for disability status in 2003. (I would question why someone who is married to a lawyer needs disability, but that might be me being judgemental.) When I gave her real name to the records department at Christiana Hospital in Delaware, this was confirmed.So...the hospital records department, in violation of federal law (HIPPA) exposed itself to 1) a huge ass fine (per violation), 2) a lawsuit by msscribe, 3) a lawsuit by the United States Government, 4) loss of its accreditation, 5) etc., because it felt like being really nice and "confirming" the information you listed ( ... )

If you wish to make your own journal and risk running afoul of LiveJournal's ToU's bar on uploading or posting "...any Content that is invasive to another's privacy (up to, but not excluding any address, email, phone number, or any other contact information without the written consent of the owner of such information)..." then do it, but I am not going to unscreen the post you* made after this one, because I am not interested in pushing the line on this section of LiveJournal's ToU when it's easy enough for you to take the risk yourself. If you want to risk violating HIPPA and other laws and regulations, please do it in your own space.

*At least, I assume it's you, but since I didn't get the IP on the first post, I can't be 100% sure of that.

Re: Part II heidi8 October 3 2006, 16:47:15 UTC

...and I just googled the IP and it's listed on Wikipedia as a blocked IP, because [t]his IP address has been blocked because it is believed to be an open proxy or zombie computer. To prevent abuse, editing from these proxies is currently prohibited.
