Some of you guys are being extremely harsh. Whats up with that? Why are some of you taking on that attitude?
Probably the same reason people still Spit at the name "Benedict" Arnold.
People feel "betrayed" ... the betrayer will never, ever be forgiven, no matter what.
Some people need to grow the hell up and let go of it. Good grief, people, act like adults.
hey.. we're not the ones running around going "hey look.. i got a Radio interview" .. or "boo hoo hoo... poor me .. i did something that the admin's asked.. people hate me, but i know the truth" every few weeks..
The "acting like adults" needs to start with the perp.
The mods used to delete threads about this crap... i think they need to go back to doing it.
it's like little kids going "no you," "no you" over and over.

Marked for later. Looks interesting.
Can I say that I now know somebody sick as fuck?
The responses from the moderators is disgusting. What the hell is wrong with you guys? The OP brings this shit up against and people dont have the right to feel outraged still?
Wow.
Huh? What responses? Who said that people aren't allowed to feel outraged?
I think he is referring to the generally permissive attitude of the older posters; I think it's a bit much to be outraged over this, from the standpoint of internet history or just detached curiosity it IS interesting. I just can't help but see it as an odd man going to extraordinary lengths to achieve acceptance, which is quite sad. I say this with no malice towards Dennil.

Cool. I'll be listening.

Good listen, thanx for sharing the backstory.

Cool Uncle Pervie gets another 15 minutes of fame.
Then it's time to bring back Wombat Woman. If people are letting go of it, they need to let ALL of it go.
I did not instigate the interview. The BBC contacted me.
And should I say yes?
I am inclined to do so if this is a serious program - might prevent others making the same mistake - but not if this is trash radio like Howard Stern or Rush Limbaugh. Looks serious enough at first glance and I respect the BBC. There also the fact that this involves the community, mods and some members who were deceived more than others so I'd like opinions from those concerned also, because I respect them very much, before I proceed. Your opinions matter in me making this decision.
So what do you guys think?
SunSamurai,
I already explained earlier in this thread that this is in major part a response to Reitz's thread. The mods agreed with his thread, feeling that the time had come for a cooler-headed discussion of the event. I did not instigate the interview. The BBC contacted me. If you don't believe me, ask Jon Ronson.
