Hey, so it looks like Panopticon have purged a bunch of their accounts and are now switching over to Mass Effect screenames, mainly paragontali, Taliesin Koschei Schuyler, and tal1zorah. Still the same system, though, and certainly showing no signs of changing.

I realized I never uploaded the screencap about Gallifreyan Tradition disbanding, so whatever, here it is.

Faith Healer of Rassilon (Healer-President Isa) posts in Discord: "To the Members of the Gallifreyan Tradition: It is with the deepest regret that I make this announcement.  Due to the actions of certain members, on LB Lee has focused on us and begun a vicious smear campaign against the Gallifreyan Tradition as a whole.  This person has gone so far as to plant a spy in our midst, who has been passing information direction from our group chats to this LB Lee to be posted on their blog.  We do not know who this spy is, but this person has been sending screencaps of private conversations on this server directly to LB Lee.  As of this time, the High Council can not guarantee the safety of our members, as we do not know who the spy is or what LB Lee is going to do with this information.  This has gone beyond roleplay or reconstruction.  This is now potentially affecting people's lives and livelihoods in this world.  By unanimous vote of the High Council, the Gallifreyan Tradition as it stands now is disbanded.  I am sorry it has come to this, and I am proud of how far the Gallifreyan Tradition Society has come.  We have been a family to those who have needed on, a safe place for those who sought one.  We have done nothing wrong as a whole.  It is the actions of one or two people who have caused us to have to do this, for the safety of us all.  If you used your real names, e-mail addresses, ANY real life information or anything that can be used to trace or identify you to connect the GT, delete your information now.  LB Lee is a troll of Gamergate levels and I do not know what they are capable of or willing to do.  Protect yourselves.  Stay safe, my People.  The Gallifreyan Tradition has fallen."

Wow, what a load of DARVO.  First of all, these folks remain the master of vagueposts. Man, "due to the actions of certain members," that makes it sound like Panopticon just toilet-papered my house or something, and I guess "bragging about setting Draven on me" is "private conversations" now.  Because god knows Panopticon's right to brag about being a bargain bin supervillain trumps my physical safety.  As for the spying thing... bros, that's what Y'ALL did. For at least a month. To smear and defame AUK, who gosh golly, ALSO made cult accusations about Panopticon specifically and the Gallifreyan Tradition Society in general!  It's almost like this is an ongoing tendency in y'all's behavior!

I don't have to take AUK or doctorwhokinfessions' word for it either; though the posts themselves are deleted now, I screencapped them beforehand, when Narvin, yet another one of the Gallifreyan Tradition Council members, admitted to running the AUK spying operation. (Sorry for the crap quality; their tumblr layout hid stuff like the time-stamp.  It was posted on 9/26/17.)

vathironarvin on tumblr posts: "Just so everyone knows - the spy was my idea, and my idea alone. Not Cass’, not HIY’s, mine. I was acting rogue with a spy because I felt hurt by all the cult accusations which are blatantly untrue, and actually quite cruel given the fact that our founder is a cult survivor.   Yes, some people are uncomfortable with GT and Gallifrey. That’s okay. Neither of them are for everyone. But don’t make it out like we’re a cult because we had positive experiences with Gallifrey, please.  I apologize for creating the spy, it was rude and uncalled for. The spy will reveal themselves in the server shortly."

Yeah, that whole business was ugly enough that Cass even managed to choke out something resembling a public apology for it--you know, sort of, kind of. I'm pretty sure Rassilon will smite them if they ever actually admit wholeheartedly to wrongdoing and accept full responsibility for it, never mind change, but who knows, maybe one day they'll surprise me.

As for not knowing what I'm going to do... yes, y'all do.  I have been as subtle as a Mack truck about what I'm going to do. I publicly stated what I was going to do: "if you want to prove you're not just a spin machine, let me go public about all the harassment campaigns I know about, including the ones Panopticon tried to get me to take part in and the one Isa took part in, and all of you, LET ME DO IT.  If you truly want to clean up your group and stop having this creepy awful reputation, you guys have to accept that you have this reputation for a very valid reason, and do the hard work of changing, not exact 'Prydonian revenge' on me." And y'all responded by disbanding within twelve hours and calling me a Gamergate troll out to get you all like the plural boogeyman.

Honestly, even with screencaps, I kinda doubt GT is truly gone, and if it is, I certainly can't claim sole credit. Even if it was plagued by scandal the entire time, GT still existed for a couple years; I refuse to believe that I could've single-handedly killed that thing with three measley blog posts. Nah, I figure either there was a bunch of other conflict going on that I know nothing about, and/or that Panopticon have taken their core followers and moved elsewhere to one of their bajillion other groups, waiting to reinvent themselves under a new screename and pull a Magnetons or something.

Man, they seem to think I am way sneakier and more powerful than I actually am.  I guess that serves the narrative better.
