To me, all of this just confirms saidit has been infiltrated somehow and is a honey pot even more. I’ve read magnora’s last page of comments and posts and it doesn’t feel right. It feels like something changed for him.

Yes, magnora did also stop posting all together. But he didn’t even let d3rr know what was up. And I was one of the users magnora trusted, and overnight he became very suspicious of me as he felt the site had been infiltrated long ago and certain old users could be whatever he thought they were.

During one of our last real exchanges however, he mentioned family undergoing surgery (I won’t say more), but yes, he does have stuff going on irl too.

Four months though without hearing from him.. period? Not even hitting d3rr up? This is more than a break. Four months is more than a break.

Potential reasons for m7 taking a long break include:

  • The fallout from bringing on a tranny as admin.

  • Said fallout exacerbated by being unreachable during the Texas ice storm.

  • His mom having surgery in the early spring.

  • u/d3rr actually doing a fantastic job in his absence.

Banning all those legitimate users at TAM's instigation had to have caused him some reflection on where his 'antiextremes/saidit' dream went wrong.

Running a site like this is a thankless job, as many of us say, and when you add family issues and personal disenchantment, the temptation to just walk away could be pretty attractive.

and overnight he became very suspicious of me as he felt the site had been infiltrated long ago and certain old users could be whatever he thought they were.

I got that too. There were some pointed comments that seemed pointed at me, even as one of the first users back when it was antiextremes.com.

NOTHING is confirmed so far. So maybe take your collusions somewhere else?

Eli, I may be no one to you (and for sure would never speak on magnora’s behalf simply out of respect), but magnora and I were friendly with each other. I’m talking from my personal experience with magnora, as well giving my personal opinion. I’m not insulting him at all, or saying anything is “confirmed”; I stated something was suspect (which it is..), I pointed it out, and simply gave and stated my personal opinion.

Nothing I said was negative, or hateful towards magnora. I considered him a friend (and still do). Do you notice how you’re the only person giving me flack for my opinion? Why do I have to take my opinion (“collusion” lol?) elsewhere, this was the very place to share it. I’m friendly with d3rr as well, and he even responded to my comment saying I was right by catching that, and explained why he didn’t want to do it.

Finally, I thought you and I were chill too lol.. I don’t know where this hostility is coming from tbh.

I'm sorry. Gotta carry a lot of stones in my new backpack around right now. I can lash out very fiercely but nonetheless subtely. I really am sorry. And not "so chill" right now.

You didn't deserve this outlash of me, thats for sure. Sometimes i can't help myself but to swing a real long (invisible) whip directly to people's ears. It bangs, i know. That is why i am sorry.
