Sources talk:Correspondence with Jim Iaccino
Just some explanation: yes I now realize I read far too much into this, but that's sort of why: Something like "Tigh getting his eye gouged out" sounded like SUCH a big leak that it seemed hard to swallow that such a leak would really get out. But if RDM e-mailed actually asking that things be toned down because it WAS a big leak, well that explains a lot. It was so much leakage so fast that it seemed dubious. I hope you can understand how my thought processes handled that, but I understand now.
As for the Provost...why would he be concerned about BSG news of all things....within a day or two of all of this? Well, if he simply noticed it from the fact that we had a public vote on it, I think that vote will be retracted now that you've explained everything and we understand what's going on. Meanwhile....there's a malicious poster on the official site who kept attacking me to the point that I complained about him so much that the Administrators banned him. For the past several months, he's shadowed me around trying to discredit me if I jaywalk; i.e. he sees I've joined a new messageboard so he immediately jumps in and starts posting about fictitious or exaggerated things I've done in the past on the official boards. He is an obsessive nuissance, and has been repeatedly banned from the official site. He's calling himself "Booboo" now and has bragged to other users that he is the poster originally known as "Ribzy" (the PM "yeah I am Ribzy you frakhead and I'm going to crucify you!", was a dead giveaway...). It's come to the point where I am reluctant to give my real name online for fear of what mischief he would wreak with it. At any rate...without knowing any facts of the matter, I have the knawing suspicion that he called up KR's Provost essentially pretending to be me, in order to fan the flames of this conflageration. I wouldn't put it beyond him. But I would never call someone's real world employer or something like that that's...flat out evil, the most I would have done was e-mailed the head of HNR, who was actually involved with BSG stuff. I have made no contact with KR's Provost: if someone did, it wasn't me, and I have my suspicions of who it might be. More probably it was just that someone saw our discussion here and overeacted. In that case, I think NOW that there are no accusations to make against KR and this was a mistep on my part because I couldn't research him as well as I should because Galactica2003.net doesn't exist anymore. I'm really kicking myself for that, as had I had that information I never would have questioned KR to the extent this has all come to: bottom line: Provost situation is either A) some vandal trying to cause mischief, and not me or B) someone who saw all of this and overeacted, and the simple solution is of course that I think we're taking all of this down anyway and putting some new spoiler-tag thing up (Mercifull or someone else was working on that), and it is just a moot point. I hope this doesn't have any reprocussions past tomorrow if you understand me, I think it will all just subside. --The Merovingian (C - E) 05:33, 24 April 2006 (CDT)
Slander[edit]
First of all, I have not been "stalking" Merv for the last few months. I'm a member of Galactica BS where I saw the character assassination plot Merv was hatching, so in all good concious I informed Shaun and Koenig rules of it.
And another thing, his claim that "(the PM "yeah I am Ribzy you frakhead and I'm going to crucify you!", was a dead giveaway...)" is a FLAT OUT LIE! I have never PM'd Merv. This is just another example of the level he will stoop to in order to assassinate a person's character.--Ribzy
You PM people all the time. Oh, we all had a good laugh that time you threatened to anally rape me. Got banned from the official site after enough of that behavior. How many times have you tried to switch IP addresses to fool the Administrators into letting you join again? How many websites have you stalked me to? How many times have you been banned from the official site? As I recall, I was saying to someone on the official boards once, "wow, lately I've been practically running BS Wiki's episode guides" (this was like middle of Season 2.5, when I was doing a heck of a lot of work there: Spencerian was out and everyone else was a little busier/I felt like wasting more time on it that could have been spent on work! :) ), and then Ribzy made a threatening E-mail to Joe claiming that I had claimed to own and operate BattlestarWiki. This type of behavior is slander to me, and goodness knows Ribzy has been doing it on more than one site to me. Ask Dogger or Mazzy or any of the other board regulars. This man is the reason that RDM Blog III was destroyed by the Administrators, after he wouldn't show anything close to the pale of restraint. --The Merovingian (C - E) 15:39, 24 April 2006 (CDT)
Enough[edit]
Anyone else getting bored with this? It's only a TV series!!! --Grafix 15:43, 24 April 2006 (CDT)
