He forwarded me an email he claimed was from Andrew and asked me to consider him a "negotiator". He also said he Andrew didn't know he was sending it to me, he didn't want Andrew to know...blah blah blah.<br /><br />I emailed it to you just so you have it for your records. Would you like me to post the PDF Online?<br /><br />And yes, there are many ways you can trace an IP down to a very small geographic radius-- particularly those that are logged from a post. I think you can also do it sometimes with email. Given your online experience, I find it hard to believe that you claim you don't know how to do that.<br /><br />And I did apologize several times for that one post. I won't apologize for anything OTHER than that one post.<br /><br />Anyway-- I'll settle for whatever the outcome is. I'm done with you and folks like you.<br /><br />SEYAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8614376202473604721.post-55196065174386231472012-09-14T17:11:32.432-07:002012-09-14T17:11:32.432-07:00This comment has been removed by the author.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8614376202473604721.post-38345951647273722692012-09-14T16:58:27.362-07:002012-09-14T16:58:27.362-07:00This comment has been removed by the author.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8614376202473604721.post-92105052551960443092012-09-14T16:57:22.098-07:002012-09-14T16:57:22.098-07:00This comment has been removed by the author.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8614376202473604721.post-66026747889597111652012-09-14T16:53:54.224-07:002012-09-14T16:53:54.224-07:00Plus, I resent his claim that I smoked him out due...Plus, I resent his claim that I smoked him out due to some kind of technological sleight of hand.

One of the first ideas the Magic Cafe had for dealing with me was reporting me for child pornography. Based on what? Nothing, it was just an idea they had to shut me up. So being accused of being inappropriate with children is a timeless strategy in the toolbox of people too dumb or uncreative to actually create a compelling argument against you.<br /><br />So how did I handle it when it happened to me? I wouldn't stand for it. I refused to be falsely accused of abusing children. So what did I do? I went out a fucked me as many kids as I could get my hands on. Ohh, those tight little fannies! (Hey, I said I refused to be FALSELY accused of abusing children).<br /><br />Finally, here's a piece of advice for anyone writing about magic: Steven Youell is such a black-hole of charisma that even ARGUMENTS with him come across as completely dull and unreadable. You might as well post an argument between you and a lamp-post. Avoid him. <br /><br />Andyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03141093204615299624noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8614376202473604721.post-21478858949162846652012-09-13T04:25:19.649-07:002012-09-13T04:25:19.649-07:00I wonder if the blog was removed by the anonymous ...I wonder if the blog was removed by the anonymous author or if Google actually intervened to take it down after receiving notice?<br /><br />Under UK law the position is rather complex but the starting point is that, not only authors or editors, but also "secondary publishers" who make the information available to the public, such as website hosts or operators of website forums, can all be held liable for online defamation. <br /><br />In this example the blog's content is liable under applicable local laws where the host serves the content - for example in the USA Section 230(c) of the Communications Decency Act fundamentally states that Internet services like Google.com, Blogger and many of Google’s other services are republishers and not the publisher of that content. Therefore, these sites are not held liable for any allegedly defamatory, offensive or harassing content published on the site. That is not the case in the following countries - Argentina, Australia, Austria, Belgium, Brazil, Canada, Czech Republic, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hong Kong, Hungary, India, Ireland, Israel, Italy, Japan, Mexico, Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Portugal, Romania, Singapore, Slovakia, South Korea, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Taiwan and the United Kingdom, who all have their own laws and definitions of both libel and slander.<br /><br /><br />+1 for Andrew's return. His critique and insight were invaluable. It's rare we have deep thinkers in magic, for him to be hounded out in such a tawdry way. The small-minded, power struggles that dog the magic world are what keeps us from being considered an art form. Every time it looks like a performer ascends through innovation and creativity there is a rabble of detractors ready to drag them back into the world of Dippy Duck's and glittery "Chinese" boxes...<br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16287480452267533402noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8614376202473604721.post-6304047689921390482012-09-12T22:59:52.962-07:002012-09-12T22:59:52.962-07:00Mad respect for Andrew, on so many levels.Mad respect for Andrew, on so many levels.J.T.S.https://www.blogger.com/profile/02907865701258410828noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8614376202473604721.post-16255719686714409132012-09-12T21:58:17.590-07:002012-09-12T21:58:17.590-07:00Andrew is a fine writer... on magic or any subject...Andrew is a fine writer... on magic or any subject.

That thing with you being sick and Steve Brooks asking the community to buy your stuff to support you did really happen. It was a global pm by Steven Brooks.
