The C&D and additional tidbits on the RP sock fiasco

This is a followup to the rough-draft account at http://amedia.livejournal.com/58414.html

No attempt at organization here for the moment - just some additional facts that I've remembered or been reminded of, and a brief account of the C&D horror that preceded this event.

Maquisbabe's Posts (RP Sock Account)

Here are the posts made by "maquisbabe" to the Yahoo club in December 2001.

They were made at 6 a.m. Eastern Time to maximize the time they would be up before the clubmom deleted them. Because of the way Yahoo clubs worked at that time, the titles and first sentences of these posts remained visible for several hours on people's "My Yahoo" pages even after they were deleted, so the titles and first sentences were intended to summarize the contents.

Notice that these posts were made before the LightSiders got the IP evidence. "maquisbabe" clearly believes that there is more than one puppeteer.

Additional contributions to RP Sock Account

I appreciate the posts responding to my rough draft account of the RP Sock Puppet fiasco, many of which have provided additional information as well as correcting errors that I have made. I'd like to highlight a couple of them here:

One of wolfwalker's insiders has posted her perspective on the whole affair. I truly admire her courage.

Someone from Garrison's Gorillas fandom has gotten permission to provide posts exposing wolfwalker's circumstantial inconsistencies *and* IP address carelessness - an incredible piece of work by an anonymous person who was apparently GG's Jedi and LightSide rolled into one.

As I was putting this post together, I happened to glance up toward the top of the page where I saw these words:
