I'm Reading Your K5 Diaries

[Jonathan Swift]

I'll re-enlist at some point, but probably not until I catch some Zs.
I have the sense that I would do well to catch lots of Zs before
trying to re-enlist.

But if you have something specific to discuss, you can either address
me directly in your diaries, with a note that I will, just for now,
post my reply in this here thread, or you can post in this thread
yourself.

And yeah, the email from me that hugin posted is indeed authentic.

I advise staying away from K5. I am only saying this as a friend. Based on the past on how K5 and the trolls treated you in the past, while they act nice to you to get you back, no doubt they will do the same things to you if you join back up.

Look at me, I donated close to $100 of my own money and I am poor, what did I get for that? A script that blocks me, a promise to ignore me which they broke by zero rating my comments, trolling my diaries and comments, and then after my accounts get banned and many of the K5 trolls rejoiced of a Kuro5hin free of me, and I decided to stay away and post here and on Blogger blogs instead. They stalk me around the Internet post untrue stuff about me and a stolen profile picture they stole and photoshopped from a long time ago.

But I did become civil with a few K5 members who did not troll me as others did and like me when I am away from K5 and talking to them via email, etc as I now type more intelligently. K5 was ruining my brain and enabling my mental illness. This happens on a few web sites like K5 but others where they don't do that they actually like me and want me to stay there and work with them and help them out.

But Jon, you are a grown adult, you make your own decisions. I cannot force you and nobody else should as well. If they do the same things to you they did last time, you might end up in a hospital again.

I never went back to K5 and check diaries on K5 without logging in as an account to see what they are posting about you or me. Other than that I am done with the place.

Many friends and relatives and people who love and support me got harassing phone calls a 3AM and other stuff even if they were never on K5 and only read email and don't do anything I was accused of doing. It might be the same K5 trolls picking on me, then again maybe it is a different group. When I asked one of them why they do this to me, I was told "Because you exist." and apparently I guess that means they are doing all they can to make sure I do not exist, the script blocked me but they are able to disable it to troll me and zero rate my comments and the ignoring me thing was a big lie. They said if I left K5 they would leave me alone and after I got permabanned I left K5 and then they posted untrue stuff about me on Google Groups and couldn't find my phone number (it got disconnected I use a Vonge phone or prepaid cell phone and it has private status so they cannot look it up) they found out who my friends and relatives are and then harassed and pranked them because they couldn't get me.

So now they ask you and me back to Kuro5hin. I say "Heck no! You don't mess with me, my family, my friends you cockernockers!" How much can you trust them not to do the same stuff to you they did before? If they really want me back at K5, and they really like me and all of this negative stuff they do to me is a sign of respect and wanting to be my friend, I wonder how messed up in the head they are to do that sort of thing? When I first joined K5 my intentions were pure, I wanted to get feedback on my writing and help others learn to write and share knowledge and experience and maybe joke around and BS a bit about current events and what have you. I really don't need K5, and K5 and the trolls need me more than I need them. I am not becoming a target for the trolls, I am not going to have the same things happen to me as they did before. I am not going to waste even $5 of my own money anymore just so that account can get banned by Rusty for no good reason at all, except it makes the K5 trolls happy than Rusty got me to STFU by banning my accounts.

Now let me end this email on a Monty Python sketch that Kuro5hin has turned into as a joke and parody:
