Kalua: As administrator of this forum Susan Boyle comes first, but the protection of all the members of this forum is my duty.
The protection of members should indeed be a priority. But the forum has consistently failed to protect members from a persistent and dangerous cyber-bully. This person has had at least 23 different identities on the forum alone. He has plagued Susan Boyle sites all over the internet.
The protection of members should indeed be a priority. But the forum has consistently failed to protect members from a persistent and dangerous cyber-bully. This person has had at least 23 different identities on the forum alone. He has plagued Susan Boyle sites all over the internet.
He has concocted and/or exacerbated damaging stories about Susan, her family, her management team and her fans. He has posted online, and sent messages by PM and by email. He has even tried to profit from his malicious fabrications by selling them to eager tabloids and told fans to 'watch for' it.
He has told many lies to many people, but one of his most successful attacks on the Susan Boyle fan community occurred last July. He was instrumental in the uproar on the forum because he was in communication with Lonni, Judy, Mirrim, CanadianBill, UKSusanfanAnn and Marty, to name a few.
He had somehow gained credibility with both Admins and some Staff and members as Mark Conner/Orgonon and perhaps other false identities. He may well have been in touch with other staff and members. He convinced them that the other fan sites were going to “takeover” SBFII. He told lies about lchris, Citroenlady, Dyebat and others.
He has told many lies about fans from Susan Boyle fansites. He sent messages with those lies to other fans and to Susan Boyle's family and Sony and her management companies. Then he proceeded to accuse the fans who received his messages of being the ones who started the false rumors. He often twisted facts around like that, pitting one person or group against another. It is sick.
The SBFII site Admins and some Staff have known about him in his various guises for many months. They have banned him repeatedly, but he keeps coming back. He has been able to continue fooling people because no one will publicly post his false identities, emails and stories so that all members of the Susan Boyle community would be informed and forewarned.
LChris has lobbied hard for this information to be made available to you, the members, for your safety. Yet, the Board, Admins and Staff refuse. They are (and have been) taking advice from Sony's lawyers. I find it hard to believe that Sony's lawyers have been given the full extent of what the Admins and Staff know about this situation. I seriously doubt that they would put themselves in a position of liability over a prolific cyber-stalker, cyber-bully.
