− − Alright, first things first. Before I get slandered as a SPA, or something, I'd like to at least defend myself. So, the gap in my editing was caused by multiple factors. A. I didn't really have much to write about. B. I've been busy IRL. C. I've also been on and off on Uncyclopedia. D. I've been dealing with a lot of stress, not very fun.

− Now, why am I suddenly active again? Well, again, few reasons. A. I found something to write about (KDE/Loonix stuff), B. Plasma 5/ KF5/ Related v5 KDE/Qt things are new topics to write about. C. I heard about GamerGate.

− And another section, since I'm a bit paranoid, why I'm interested in GamerGate. A. I will admit it, unlike some people who are keeping their reasons for editing secret, that I am a gamer, and I feel that there needs to be change. Yes, so I happen to be a gamer, sue me for having an interest in, well look at that, a gaming world related controversy. (sorry if my tone sounds harsh/satirical/mocking, I apologize) B. These sorts of controversies which the MSM doesn't report on often (at least in the beginning) are interesting to follow. C. I have seen quite a bit of harassment/attacks from the anti-gg side, including quite a bit towards those with ASD (Autism Spectrum Disorder), which, (I don't want to play "Oppression Olympics" here, just bear with me) I have been professionally diagnosed with, as well as some other things which, (I'm already uncomfortable pulling this), will make me feel very uncomfortable talking about. To finalize this wall of text, I'll go away (from this page) once its neutral. Yes, there has been harassment coming from the pro-GG side, but harassment coming from the anti-GG side is often overlooked. Not only that, third party trolls have been playing the two sides for quite a while; see: GNAA for one example (semi-confirmed, leader says that its just two rouge (can there be rouges in a blackhat org?) members), or AnonOps (again, supposedly its just more rouges, and the person who has, apparently snitched on LulzSec). (Note: I do not endorse nor condemn these groups, I am merely providing examples) As well as that, I acknowledge I have been VERY, VERY unprofessional, and would like to extend an apology to Ryulong and Gamaliel for their troubles. I was just angry at the time... I'm very sorry for any of that, and I'll try to change. (Please tell me (without those annoying stock templates >.<) if I'm doing something wrong/bad. I'll also stop the /s4s/ talking in talkpages and edit summaries.

− BUT ANYWAYS.

− − I digress, that was just a little thing from me. I hope you understand. Now to the point. While, pro-GG does not want to bring LW#1 back into the spotlight, she keeps putting herself there, so, if it must come to this, here is a little bit of digging (all public, mind you, no blackhat-y stuff involved in the obtainment of this). To be open, yet again, this was done by a pro-GG person. (Openness is a key to trust, see: Open Source):

− [1] - Yes it's a bit shaky, but it is legit. Not a screencap, archive.today doesn't modify anything, save adding its banner thing onto the top of stuff. And, if you look at to some random user's (malware free, I checked all the files myself) Google Drive folder, and read readme1.txt (odd filename, apparently is a google doc), then do what it instructs, it indicates more things. Now, one thing that I've personally found suspicious, is that, even though in such a situation, LW#1 shouldn't be poking the bear, she apparently keeps poking it, (bear being the pro-gg side for matter of analogy). But that's personal opinion. Also, while I wanted to discuss it first with an admin beforehand, they have not responded to my request, so I'll say it here. Gawker has a huge COI in all of this. due to many advertisers pulling out, they're losing money, thanks to Operation Disrespectful Nod. Since pro-gg is attempting (surprisingly successfully) to shut down Gawker, its clear that they would want to protect their interests... (Which they seem horrible at doing, but if you look at the clickbait on the site, its not that surprising) so they would obviously go to smear the pro-GG side as much as possible. Vox Media is another target, slated to come after Gawker (this is information from multiple pro-GG sources, including their IRC channel, /gg/ on 8chan (too extreme for 4chan, a site with holocaust deniers, gore posters, and other such... "colourful" personalities). I cannot say anything about the other media sources at this time though, since they have marginal to no conflict of interest in this, for now. However, Vox Media and Gawker Media, as well as Gamasutra, all have considerable COI in this. Anyways, if you could make sense of this wall of text, good for you. And again, I am sorry to Ryulong and Gamaliel for my unprofessional behavior. I do not like making enemies out of random people... however I sometimes do not have the best judgement. I humbly request that my apology is accepted. --The Defender of Light Grand Warlock Danzathel Aetherwing >Inventory< 9:34 pm, Today (UTC−7)
