You should be thrilled that finally the proper authorities are going to look at these 'myths', 'rumours' and 'lies' as you call them, so why are you here trying to gain sympathy by pulling the victim act? What are you worried about if all of this is 'lies'? What do you care what, I qoute,"those idiots" think?
The pirates are right. Your behaviour is a tad bit too transparent.
You will get nothing out of this. Off you go!
coconut will not be setting out the exact circumstances of how they came across the information - this is never possible. Subterfuge is necessary for continued information. Lots of things get passed around TSR - they used to have a forum for it, but they now do it's dispersed through various systems. In this way, things make their way to coconut, and thus to us. Like all the other information, setting out the path of origin only serves to show TSR where they should be looking. Setting out the exact path only serves to narrow down the search for coconut, and thus make it easier to feed information to root out the mole.
I can attest that I know the path it took, and that I find it sufficiently believable.
Calalily,
Are you and Coconut willing to provide this information for the FBI's eyes alone? This in support of those that are already filing a complaint? Your help in this is crucial.
