Where did I say Sticky Mango jeopardized anything? I said I wished he hadn't come back under the same alias, that I wished he didn't return at all (implying that if he did, I wouldn't want to know it was him)... had he returned under a different alias, and didn't tell anyone, than I wouldn't even know he returned
...... no one would...... then when he would post in my journal it would be welcomed and wouldn't upset me in the least...... but I know enough about law enforcement and legal processes to know that returning under that alias IS not the smartest thing to do, especially if its on the same computer....... or even the same IP address.....
The fact that his internet account was reported in the media shows that law enforcement knows a hell of a lot more about it then just that he had one.... The fact that SM reported here that his computer and other equipment was seized shows us that they had direct access to his computer and other equipment while he couldn't see anything they were doing with it, The fact that he was using his computer at home to access the account over his home internet connection (thereby giving reason for future internet activity surveillance)....... and they Investigate things..... They monitor things..... so rather than jeopardizing me.... it would be more like jeopardizing issues regarding the site, or other users..... Because SM is small fish, and there ARE big fish on here (I am not referring to myself)..... All it takes is certain warrants for certain reasons to crumble a site like this....... and its targeted participants..... can you say Overgrow?
"your always a split second from the wrong move or wrong decision that will ruin LIVES, and not just your own......" Did I say specifically "you" is anyone in particular? Or could it be all inclusive to mean myself as well?
If you read the statement in the proper literary sense, it actually infers that I AM the "You" being referred to.
What it MEANS is simply this......
I have kids, and like anyone else with kids, I am always one wrong move or step away from ruining lives.. duh, simple and true.... And if it were my own selfish activities that were to be making a wrong move, then obviously I am implying that I would give up the activities for my children.
He posted in my journals...... having something to do with me
How I choose to go about interacting with him is the determining factor in whether or not anything would affect or effect me, or my children as a result of MY decisions.....
I respect the truth just fine.... and the Truth is simply that I don't have anything to worry about
..... and that you spoke out of turn about things you know nothing about, after misinterpreting a simple statement. Learn to Understand what you read!
And HOW
precisely did I go overboard? And about What did I go overboard on?
Dill has said he was going to post pics here and there a few times in the last week and a half and they never came, however the subject of SM was brought up repeatedly, and was/is a topic of concern for him (Dill).... as he wrote himself just a week or so ago in this thread..... SO Make me leave
I respect you as well.... for my own variety of reasons..... And thank you for the compliment...... but really I am not just looking out for myself, as I Really have nothing to worry about in that regards (with acceptation to losing RIU, or my account anyways), but RIU does, and some of its users, that is for sure.....
Did I reply to you directly in my thread or at all? Ever heard of the phrase "Guilty by association"? It has quite a bit of legal precedent behind it...... and is certainly applicapable to the situation...... regarding law enforcement investigative tactics.......
I didn't flame you.......
I pointed out the truth and facts.... simple....
"it almost seems like a childish move..." Almost, but doesn't seem that way, because I did it in a place I knew you would see it, where you have been posting and viewing frequently, so there was nothing sly about it. I also knew the issue would be engrandized by other people, thereby indirectly directing the statement towards yourself.
Some action of someones got you busted, and unless that was YOUR intent, then you must not have been using your head to prevent it, otherwise it wouldn't have happened. Simple..... not a flame..... just truth.... sorry it happened... it really sucks that it did..... but it did, and thats the truth....
Plain and simple StickyMango:
I think you are a cool, nice guy. I think if you had simply returned under a different alias, it would have made things a lot easier for everyone. I think once you are away from your own current disposition you have the potential to grow some real dank, and have a long enjoyable time here. But I think considering recent events, it would be wise to air on the side of caution
.
On a side note......
How does anyone know its the same Sticky Mango using the account? How do we know its not law enforcement? How would RIU know? And what would the implications be if it were?
