I sympathize with those getting harmed on both sides. As far as info in the public forums are concerned, all these fuck ups started with Ricky. SG got dragged into it, and over time, committed her own fuck ups.
Whisper's role in all of this......it really started with him standing up for Savak, for what he believed to be the right thing to do. It escalated quickly when his stance and ego was challenged.....that was what led to all his "attacks" on SG. But did you realize that if W had not spoken up, so many members here would have been so willing to throw Savak under the bus?
How'd the issue of outing come to be? From the clues I could find, Ricky, being the emotional, short-fused WK and having no regard for self-restraint, decided to carry out his grudge off the boards.....against individuals who had agreed with Whispers and their friends. Granted, some of the "attacks" on SG on the boards could have stemmed from jealousy by other providers and members acting on behalf of those providers, but the first signs of anyone taking personal grudges outside the boards started with Ricky.
I don't think it's wise standing by Ricky's choices just because he happens to support the same provider you do. This issue of outing.....I only see it escalating, knowing the role Ricky plays....
The prophet's right.....there's only the wheel.....think twice before you jump in. The wheel's going to keep spinning until something gives way.....be it everyone backing down, one side gets pwned or both sides mutually destroying one another.
