I Am Here To State (about Ed's treatment in the SDMB Proposal Thread)

  1. Your apology does not erase the abuse heaped on me.

  2. You are not one of the guilty parties that should apologize.

OK, that’s wonderful. The problem is that I was systematically harassed, abused, attempts were made to dox me, I was told I was responsible for the deaths of my oldest sister, I neglected my spouse to death, and I was told to kill myself. As I said, I expected someone to speak up in favor of the abusers and I’m sorry it was you, because, however much I respect and like you I can NOT accept your characterization of the Giraffe board. If the majority didn’t participate in such abuse not only of myself but others they condoned it by their silence.

When I have mentioned this abuse all I get is excuses and told most of the people on that board are “nice people”. No, they’re not. The abusers are despicable, cruel, and evil. Those who stood by and did nothing were accomplices and enablers.

A pox on their houses.
