You know, I've been saying this a lot: Thank you, Dr. Irene. Your Catbox taught me how to recognize verbal abuse - even when it's coming from you.
And I mean that. I've also learned that I DO have a voice - a big, strong one - and I have a right to that voice.
You can try to squash all the "little people" from your Catbox, Dr Irene, but you won't succeed. There is a whole mess o' evidence against you. Hard, cold facts. And what you've been doing is laid out clearly in the "How to Recognize Verbal Abuse" books. Classic abuser tactics. This has been one heckuva educational experience, and you've broken a lot of trust & hearts along your forest-clearing machete-swinging path. Is that the legacy you want to leave? Is that the reputation you want in the world? If so - well, congratulations, you've achieved it.
What you have done, and continue to do, is so, so very wrong. I've already described most of it in this blog. (See also www.TheFalloftheKingdom.com)
I might come back to sharing with the world how you & the new admins gleefully took joy in calling your members "monkeys" and "picking them off one by one" (in other words, banning or suspending their privileges at whim & without notice), lying to the other members by telling them that didn't happen, and then fabricating a lie about a former admin to try to cover your tracks - lying - lying - lying. The former admins who received the slew of emails that you claim didn't exist - the nasty, member-deprecating "monkey" emails - received them because of YOUR mistake, Dr. Irene. They didn't want any more Catbox emails, and yet they kept coming to them. It wasn't some clandestine evil "hack job," as you claim - you're trying to smear THEIR reputations like you did the earliest banned members' - but it won't work, Dr. Irene, because it's a LIE. You LIE about what happened in the Catbox. You LIE to try to cover it up. Blame-shifting, crazymaking, power, control...
Ah, but I ramble. Dr. Irene, your Catbox has imploded, and no one else is responsible but you. How about applying your own "Personal Responsibility" philosophy to yourself, for a change?
