Freedom

The Internet is a free country. I myself have often taken that freedom to its limits in various projects, such as the Shoe Project or the 100% Miguel Personality Test. I have nothing against making fun of Internet phenomena, and I stand up for what I do, and take responsibility for it. This of course means a willingness to be slagged myself, or to take criticism.

What I cannot accept are anonymous, personal attacks on myself or those who have come to my aid, generously spending time and effort on my redesign here, for example. I realize, of course, that the anonymous nature of the Internet breeds this stuff like mushrooms after a rain, but the fact that (at least) two individuals have been spreading baseless rumors at websites kind enough to link to my new URL irks me; the fact that mail sent to the e-mail addresses they give bounces back or that their URLs don’t work is simply too much.

You know who you are. If you have a problem with me, contact me directly. This spineless, sneaky campaign is ridiculous and childish.

Thank you for your kind attention.

    l33tb0y & Apollo69 must be brought to answer for their actions.

    if we can’t have peace & harmony on the internet, well, the terrorists have won.

  2. Oooh… what’s being said? What’s the juicy gossip? I thought the 100% Miguel thing was pretty funny, myself. And like a few others, I put my own 100% tag on my site (with a link back to Feralliving). My question is: what’s there to slag? Maybe I’m not reading the right sections, but I don’t see what I could possibly criticize…

    Should I update my FeralLiving link to the new site, or are you going to keep the old site active for a bit?

  3. By all means update your link to reflect the new URL, I’m here to stay. The old site will remain online indefinitely, at least until I find a new home for the archives and the shoe project. As for what’s being said, well I’ll address that at length in a post of its own as soon as I get this all sorted out…

  4. I’m sorry Miguel. I thought the kilt lift on mouse over was a good idea. But you don’t have to.

  5. Sorry, Melly: animating my kilt is D’s department.

    Oooh, let me rephrase that…
