I have recently received a copy of an email sent by Stevieboy last July. The member who passed it along assumed that we had already seen it. Not so. If others have relevant information that we have not mentioned, please let us know.
When converted to the database time, the email was received at 07:47 am Monday July 19, 2010.
Dear friends,
I have been asked by Tink to inform you of the situation as it stands right now on the Forum.
As you might be aware by now, Carlos (Kalua) has resigned as Admin of the site, effective immediately and I and Ross Manarchy (waldog) have also resigned. This is in response to the behaviour by dyebat and Lchris and what is perceived to be an attempt to undermine the Staff. We are also under sustained attack by those member of DJFG's site, who are conspiring to destroy the forum, something they have been trying to do now for many months, even before the recent auction.
If you wish the bulk of the remaining Staff to remain, then you are requested to say this in the strongest possible terms, for as it stands at the moment, the entire Staff is about to resign en masse.
Thank you,
Graeme
PS Please pass this message on to your friends on the forum, the ones that you can trust!
Tink asked Stevieboy to send the email, so it can be reasonably assumed that she knew what he would say. I believe that this email further implicates Pickled Tink as one of those coordinating the events of July 2010.
Stevieboy claimed that Dyebat and lchris were trying to undermine staff, but as we have shown, they did no such thing. They had always expected staff to be in charge, and asked them to return.
So why had the rumour that Dyebat and lchris wanted to undermine staff been passed around? Most likely it was the result of their questioning of Kalua’s excessive need for secrecy. He had refused to provide any identification at all, even though he was to be Director of the Board. If Dyebat and lchris insisted on it, they had to be discredited.
Stevieboy claimed that the site was “under sustained attack” from DJG members. We now know that the “sustained attack” had nothing to do with DJG and was done by JudyOkla and Danileo. But who told Stevieboy that it was the DJGers?
Stevieboy also said that the ”entire Staff is about to resign en masse”. He asked for members to say if they wanted the staff to remain “in the strongest possible terms”. This is further confirmation of the ploy by staff to walk out and orchestrate the membership to demand their return.
It is clear that the events of July 18th were coordinated by the several staff members.
It is possible that some of the staff members were unaware that it was a sham and were used by others. Stevieboy had been trusted by the membership of the forum. If he knew that that the whole thing was a set-up, it was a betrayal of the forum members. If he did not know about the activities of JudyOkla and Danileo, it is especially unfortunate that he would be used in this way to spread disinformation.
