some people got in the crossfire between myself and the troll 23. the problem was people taking 23 at face value and then people reacting to what i was saying to them(23). if this troll could screw things up trying to get rid of them, imagine if they had been let go to form relationships(albeit anonymous and brief), then the real damage could be done. i would rather look like a bad guy than allow that to happen. my focus was sharp, my aim was true. those who wandered into the crossfire, or worse, tried to take a bullet for this person out of the kindness of their heart, were bound to get hit. the bottom line was that people wouldnt mind their own business and i wouldnt explain things to them because it would give away what i was doing with the troll. trolls are the last people i want to educate.

war is hell. the battle for truth rages intensely here on the zone. unfortunate, but there is not much one can do. there are many that count on the info here. the theme is "educating instead of medicating" not "disinfo to prevent healing."

one other thing by way of explaination. i make it a point NOT to get personal with most people. they are rank strangers to me. this way, i give what i know in response to questions that i can answer without any bias. i am only human and can only keep track of so much. knowledge is a heavy responsibility. nobody is perfect.

on a personal note, it amazes me that i can have such a long record on curezone - a real known factor, yet some person comes along posting anonymously with a made up persona and personal objective that runs counter to the zone, and it is automatically assumed that it is me who is way off base and over-reacting and misunderstanding and reading too much into it, etc, etc. i had two people come to my aid(besides moderators). to them(you know who you are), thank you. to everyone else - please forgive me as i forgive you.
