In your estimation, what will be the outcome? Will they cave in?

That was my gut reaction, but I didn't know if there were prior arrangements.. I'm surprised they had access in the first place.

What is a power mod?

i think its a mod of a big sub(s), and also a mod supported by the admins. so a mod with a lot of power, not sure if it implies power abuse too (?)

Someday, the American stazi will enjoy combing through all of this data. The thought police will have excellent records.

Good point. They're probably watching right now...

Are they?

Are they going... to get me?!!!

JK ;-)

I'm not that concerned. I've decided to live as if I'm already free. Direct action if/when necessary. They know where to find me.
