Iand mentioning how things at PM are run and ing at how officals are apt to be running the halls of Interference, but when it comes right down to it, you were ALL duped by FAKES.

What changed your mind?

Where are your emails?
I really think you fail to understand somethings:
a) There are 2 private forums for mods/admins here - what is contained within them are private. Period.
b) There is a private mailing list for the zine staff - what is contained within it is private. Period.
c) Amongst the various forms of communication are personal information, stories, and feelings that are private. For one example: I shared some memories with 'the edge' about 2 past moderators of this site which were suicidal, and my feelings about that, as well as my involvement with trying to persuade them otherwise. That's not anyones business here.
Elvis said:a. b. c. and d. - that's what I just got through explaining.
moon_is_playing_tricks said:Personally? Using something as obviously private as suicide as an example of what is private and what isn't was in poor taste. Just MHO.
biff said:So, my questions for the last several weeks were, "if you indeed believed you were dealing with the Edge, what proofs did you require, and what proofs did you receive?"
Thank you, Elvis, for giving me an answer to one of those questions! Clearly, anyone would be convinced they were dealing with the genuine article once they had been provided with a link to that obviously very classy "Club Vertigo". Bono HAD to have been referencing that place in his lyrics, no?
No.
Edited to add: I don't know about the rest of you, but I am starting to feel seriously insulted at this point.
Elvis said:I believed just as much as the next person, maybe even more, that this was the real deal as it was happening. This was not pre-planned, orchestrated, on the side of Interference. The entire zine staff was mislead, fooled, manipulated. The entire zine staff was also very upset when we finally did realize something may not be 'right'. No one on staff, zine or forum, orchestrated this. We still do not truly KNOW who 'the edge' was.
What I do know is that from this point fwd interviews will be double checked and double confirmed as to source and content. As well, anyone on the forum that even attempts to come across as someone official in public (that I become aware of) will be asked to 'prove it' and explain what has trasnspired.

Wait a minute... you just said that was private, period. So am I to believe that what you just posted on this board about the two previous moderators being suicidal was originally private? Why did you post that, then, if it's nobody's business?
Personally? Using something as obviously private as suicide as an example of what is private and what isn't was in poor taste. Just MHO.

You said you considered full disclosure. A, B and C didn't just suddenly appear after you considered full disclosure.

Elvis said:I did not say I considered 'full disclosure', I apologize for not being more clear. I had publicly said I had considered putting together some sort of 'document', I believe.
Renne said:
Ah. Since it was attached to the paragraph about full disclosure, I assumed that was what you were talking about.
It was an fair assumption for me to make really, seeing as you never actually mentioned in that comment about putting together a document.
Elvis said:Yep.. my fault for anyone misunderstanding that comment.
Renne said:
Now we've got that sorted out...
I was wondering if you'd answer why you won't post all the new information you "haven't mentioned publicly before"? Because just posting dribs and drabs of new information isn't going to make the unhappy members here happy again.
Salome said:before adding more new information (and I use this term lightly, I was taught that information is data that gives further inside into a topic, otherwise it's just data) could you please just try to sort of slightly refer to what maybe in some way or other could have perhaps indicated to you that this person was indeed The Edge?
and that all the people who told you it wasn't from day one were basically wrong because of all this proof you had that it was indeed The Edge?
because I'm really not able to deal with all this exciting new data and at the same remember that so far answers over here are as hard to come by as wmd's in Iraq

1) I wasnt the one to establish that, and conversations arent mine to share publicly. This refers again to (c) of my earlier post.
2) 'all the people' still do not KNOW WHO the poster is or is not. If you can provide some validation otherwise, I'd love to see it.

Staff Member X: "Hey Elvis, this guy's the Edge! No, really he is!"
Elvis: "Okey-dokey, if you say so..."
MadelynIris said:Why would you be discussing suicidal mods with the Edge?
1. you weren't the one to establish what exactly?Elvis said:

3) I think that's quite a stretch... comparing a fake Edge to WMD's in Iraq.
And by the way.. Yoda rocks. My guess, you're a C3-PO fan.

Just wondering....
If Elvis quoted exactly what I have quoted above and posted the following reply:
Yes. That is EXACTLY what happened.
Would you believe it and be happy/satisfied?
Just wondering.
