per biomed, i will proceed through official channels. in the meantime, i will be observing to see if the individual in question is continuing the fuckery.
some of you are probably wondering why i'm willing to stick my neck out in a matter that has zero effect on me personally. it's the same reason i beat the fuck out of bullies on the playground: i don't like bullies, and no bully was safe with me around.
i consider this matter extremely serious and i will approach it with the same focus and attention i give to my legal briefs, meaning it might take a bit of time. (tonight i'm at ihop working on the real thing.)
to summarize what happened, a newbie hobbyist got his intro to the hobby wrecked, his intro to Eccie wrecked, his handle wrecked, his hobby reputation wrecked, and his treatment by the mods here wrecked, all for someone else's sport. i take a very dim view of what happened in his case, and i will treat it with the gravity that i think it deserves.
no further comments from me will be forthcoming; future communications will be reserved for mods and admins.
i would like to commend Dear John for having no part in this fuckery. i'm pretty sure he smelled a rat.
