On an account<br> *I* provided to lpuni out of my own pocket, which he had<br> abandoned.<br> <br> I don't understand why Tacitus has decided to not only<br> misremember this event, but now is starting to publicly<br> accuse me of wrongdoing. <br> <br> Now, one last, short log from today:<br> </span></span></big> <hr style="width: 100%; height: 2px;"><big style="font-family: monospace;"><span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 255);"><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"><br> <br> [2006.09.16-22.08] Cratylus@Dead Souls Demo <lpuni> tacitus, let's post the tell log, and that'll clear it all up<br> [2006.09.16-22.08] Cratylus@Dead Souls Demo <lpuni> ok?<br> <span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);">[2006.09.16-22.08] somerville32.freenode@RtHBridge <lpuni> I guess you could.

I didn't make a big fuss, and I put together an nice explanation<br> of the general idea behind me starting a new site. I didn't think<br> it was really necessary to get into the gory details of why I was not <br> going to be posting content on Tacitus's new site. That I'd finally<br> completely lost all faith in him seemed a negative way to start a<br> site, and what I wanted to do was something positive.<br> <br> But I can't let people travel under the misimpression that <br> Tacitus's wild accusations have a basis in fact. In impugning my<br> integrity, he made it necessary for me to explain fully the situation he<br> misrepresented.<br> <br> I know how petty and silly this looks to people who aren't<br> involved. Heck, it looks pretty petty and silly to me. But I'm posting<br> all of this so that people understand. So that, six months from<br> now, when Tacitus commits some other outrage (See <a href="http://dead-souls.net/articles/forum_chat.html">here</a> for an earlier one)<br> I can simply say "Look at what he did back in September of '06. I<br> don't think I need to get into who has the more credibility." And,<br> bing, end of argument. <br> <br> I hope this can be the last word on what the deal is with<br> Tacitus. I don't know what his problem is with me. No matter how<br> much support I've provided LPUni, I'm still persona non-grata. With<br> this document I wash my hands and leave Tacitus in your care.<br> <br> Do what you will with him, I'm done. I don't see any use<br> in me collaborating with him on any project, though if you choose<br> to do so, know I wish you only the best of luck. He's nothing<br> so grand as my enemy, I just don't see me working with him<br> on anything, because the only trust I have in him is that he'll<br> keep trying to undermine me and misrepresent my efforts. <br> </span><br> <br> </span></big><big style="font-family: monospace;"><a href="http://dead-souls.net/">Dead Souls home</a></big> </body> </html>
