Laying ghosts to rest/Damien post.

Hate meme got taken down because RL addresses were posted; Liz, Hela and I are being accused of having spammed it with addresses in order to get it down. Hela already e-mailed me to check if it was my fault, because of a friend of mine who knows the person who started the meme offered to get certain threads screened, and I replied and told her no,

I'd rather cover any other issues with you personally - but I will mention I already covered the Anzu matter, and I apologize for what that led to, Damien. I did explain things to the former Kira-mun, though, so it's okay. Don't worry about it.

And...I don't fully believe you like to keep your characters out of abusive relationships, considering what you enjoy centering Ryuuji around, but err...okay.

[fickle_goddess]

Saw you do that, and thank you. I appreciate it, just as I appreciate you pointing out that getting the meme taken down wouldn't have been my style.

And fic is different from RP. XD RPwise, I'd get really bored really fast of having a char be so vulnerable and exploited. I prefer playing the victimizers to the victims, most of the time, though obviously no char of mine is protected against everything.

Would you expect anything less of me? Seriously. It's a good thing that stupid thing did go down, honestly, because I was about two seconds away from tackling two other things, as I recall.

You know me. x__X Always getting myself knee deep in trouble, and not able to stop my fingers. No thanks needed - just being honest.

Yes...but I'm not even talking about fic so much as the amount of times you asked that Seto hurt Ryuuji back. x__X It's just...hard for me to take that part seriously. Honestly. But meh, it's not worth arguing over. And then there's psychoshipping.... But that's...a whole other kettle of fish, I think.

Just three things:

-I quit reading the hatememe after a few comments, and was not the person who was posting RL addresses to it, nor do I have any idea who was. I was online with Hela at the time it was taken down, and we both found out about what occurred the same way, by being informed by a third party in IRC.

-*hugs*

-Have a wonderful holiday!

Check further down my comments and there's an explanation of why/how it went down. XD Yay for our names being cleared!

*hugs back*

Shall do, gumshoe! I just need to post to the comm that I'm on hiatus and drop a note to all the other places that I play as well.

[mlleelizabeth]

That certain does help some, and I appreciate orangutan clearing that up.

*more hugs and general good wishes*

This was originally posted as a heavily friends-locked entry in my LJ, but I have since decided it's worth posting here, in case you happen to miss it in friendslist backlog. Also, truthfully, there are a lot more people than just the people the post was locked to who deserve to know this:

I found out who was responsible for the RL stuff posted in rpganon. It was someone I trusted and respected, someone I've known for years. I have met this person, hugged her, had five-hour-long phone conversations with her.

She confessed last night. The person behind rpganon had her suspicions based on some discrepancies between what this person had been telling her and telling other acquaintances, and pressed the question. When it became clear the game was up, I guess a spasm of the vestigial organ my 'friend' called a conscience led to an admission of guilt. The cited reason for the posting of information? Was bullshit. Someone had posted something which involved one of her less shining moments, and she was pissed. But I had been telling my '

I just saw and commented on that post, but thank you so much for reposting and linking here, since it means that my post can point people down here to prove none of the mods were responsible.

Also, said it in a comment to your post but it's worth saying again -- even if everyone else plays the guilt-by-association game, I don't. When/if I hate people, I hate them for who they are and what they've done (or what they've failed to prevent), not for who they hang out with. And maybe it's expecting too much to think other people will judge me for me and not my friends, but I don't care. If someone really likes me, then that should be what matters since I won't force them to interact with my other friends and we're not a package deal.

I'm Damien, you're Ape, and who you hang out or who I hang out with shouldn't make a difference to us.

Idealistic, I know, I know, but hey, at least it works in your favor. ^_~

[mlleelizabeth]

Thank you very much for posting this.

Thanks for coming forward with this. The idea I'd been somehow marshaling people to take down the meme was ludicrous, but so was most of what was being posted, and I really disliked the idea of random people from various RPGs thinking I'd gone net kiddie troll all over a comm I'd barely been reading.

I've already apologized for what I said about you, and I sincerely mean it. The line between too nice and too harsh is a difficult one to find for a mod, and you did the best you could. Whatever anyone else thought, I always knew it was because you are a good person and it was because you wanted to make people happy.

Personally, I'm glad you decided to address the issues people had with you, though-- even if the accusations were done in a way that was hurtful-- rather than simply ignoring them. ♥

You're good people, and I hope your trip is a good, relaxing one. (I told you you wouldn't miss any of us, I just didn't know it would be because of drama! O.o)

[fickle_goddess]

*nods* You did, and I accepted your apology because I'd rather believe that you were stupid than believe you were trying to hurt me. And also because you at least came clean to me about them, though I would have obviously prefered it if all that stuff had never happened in the first place. X_x

Eh. I'm me. Trying to ignore them would have just let them burrow under my skin and rankle at me. At least this way, I'm hopefully going to be tagged by the people that actually have a real issue with me and weren't just carried away by the flow of hate.

Thank you for the good wishes! (*DIES* Tell me about it. This is really not what I expected to deal with before going.)
