Sorry, even with all the lulzworthy drama that happened yesterday, I am still fucking livid with Evelys.
As a lot of people said before, the majority of us will give ZERO fucks what gender he was. He could have pretended to be a lizardman from the planet colony magina-785 and noone would have cared (ok that might be pushing it a bit but you get what I mean)
He might have got some heat from the more trollworthy members of the community but it would have passed over given time and he didnt need to carry on assuming his false identity. It was the perfect opportunity to come clean. New board, new start, lots of goodwill towards you. People would have accepted it very easily.
But he panicked. He deleted all the momentum that we had migrating from one place to another with one press of a button. He damn near destroyed or severally fractured a long standing community with what he did if not for the swift actions of some people. Bridges had been burnt but he left those people high and dry with no place to go on the cliftside.
It was like you left your long time abusive spouse for a new caring partner, only for you to one day come back from work and she had vacated the house, cleaned out the bank and then stuck a note on the front door saying 'I'm gone. Sorry for cheating you. Here's your money back for buying me dinner yesterday'. The only option left is for you to go back to the abusive spouse with your head down and him waiting on the front door taunting you saying 'I knew you will come back..'
As you can see from his pictures and background, he is not a stupid person. Nor is he a immature teenager. You cannot just do something this drastic and just say: 'Sorry, I panicked' and be done with it. There has to be accountabilty. Imagine if someone kills another person because they panicked. He might not be charged with murder because of legitimate mental reasons but can he be charged with Manslaughter? Definately yes.
Also, its the fucking Internet. Did he really think he could just delete the forum and various social media profiles and slink away? Did he learn NOTHING from the time he was with fohguild.org? Shit comes backs to you sooner or later and him doing what he did only made people dig even harder to look for answers.
I haven't felt as mad as I have yesterday in a long time. I felt betrayed, kicked in the gut and shat upon and that was compounded even worse with the Tyen and Trex taunting and Req finally posting but showing contempt and apathy towards the userbase.
Just imagine what would have happened if this new site wasn't set up?
Sorry but I am just not as forgiving as some of you.
