Dear fungasm, Ladies and Gentlemen, Being dragged into a drama is never fun. I would have to add my 'me too' voice, as to report the message(s) to Collarme.com's staff and moderators. Unfortunately, from my position as just a member--I'm sure others as well; we (in general terms) want to help others and seek justice for those who have been subjected to wrongs. These forums are a testiment to the 'good' in the majority of us. What is sad though, are people who like to take advantage of our (in general terms) good nature and just causes and skew things as to create a drama as to hurt people directly and or indirectly. We (in general terms) see this when flames are thrown. You will see those people have others add to the flames, some who remain neutral and those who see it for what it is -- a drama which is totally unnecessary and often times the flamer is just seen as the exact thing they 'complain about.' In any situation, where we (in general terms) do not physically witness the reported deed or hear for ourselves what was said; we are in the area of 'hearsay' which is not enough evidence for anybody--not even the courts. It is difficult to establish who is telling the truth and or not; which causes many assumptions and mislead conclusions. When given such addresses and such, it can be checked. Even so, not enough to really establish guilt or innocent behavior--anybody can pull an address up and give false statements, etc. Regardless, if true or not-- the only avenue is to report such to Collarme.com; as they are hands on and have access information, e.g. server, isp, group contacts in the area,etc.; where I, for example would not. All of us (in general terms) must do what we (in general) feel 'gut' is right to do. Instincts are a guide to follow and reporting it to those who are better equipped to sort the cow piles from the sweet roses and take action and or no action--in this case--Collarme.com's staff. For me, having experienced something similar -- I find it a personal conflict to which should be settled between the both of them. A smear campaign can often backfire. And, frankly--those who 'allegedly' are worthy of being smeared will often shoot themselves in the foot; if indeed they are so inclined to behave with cruelty and disgraceful intent. They need no assistance from me to watch their demise. Just a lot of drama, in my humble opinion. Those who use forums, message mail features and such to do a smear campaign on others--especially those who have never met and are far apart--are cowards. What these cowards accuse others of, are the ones who do such with purpose/intent--they are a mirror of what they accuse others of. Just some thoughts.
