One of the wonderful members has supplied me with a PDF of the "kumimonster" entry that began this unfortunate series of events. I will not name anyone, as I do not want the LJ po po to expel anybody over this if they have an issue with me providing an OFF LJ Hosted link to it. I have permission from the original poster to host these on my ( Read more... )
