Wow. It's really, actually gotten to this point, guys. I have to make a second journal regarding The-Cynical-Unicorn's drama because I reached the character limit on my previous entry. Well, I guess I can't afford to waste any space on idle chit-chat, so let's get right into the latest update.

I had to replace most screencaps and live links from PT1 with archived pages because TCU has taken it upon herself to try and cover up evidence of her wrongdoings by hiding comments that made her look guilty or hypocritical. Good thing the Internet never forgets! I also updated and added archives in various sections of the last journal as I've discovered more of her baseless accusations, like that I threatened to make an ED article about her or uploaded nude pictures to her account. Additionally, I've archived this entire saga on my personal offsite blog.*

Today's update comes on the heels of me receiving another note early this morning from someone who used to watch TCU and didn't appreciate being suddenly dragged into her drama. Out of respect for their wishes to remain anonymous and their willingness to come forward, I will not reveal their identity. The note I received is as follows, verbatim with the exception of [alteration] of some names:

I thought at first she was a nice person and great artist, so I watched her and faved her art, but got her note and believed her and ignored any drama for the future. But then talked to Musa, saw her drawing, found your page about tcu and now bullshit central is where I landed in.

I'm blocking her, I'm severely disappointed in her and she needs to grow the fuck up.

Please don't put me in the middle of this, but if you have to, I'd prefer to be anonymous, especially away from her.

Anyway, this is the exact same note she sent to me. I hope it helps.

Hello!

There's something I need to tell you. I didn't want to drag more people into this, but there are a group of obsessive trolls on here who have been stalking me all over DA and monitoring my actions (even though my activity is hidden), and in the past, they’ve contacted my watchers in the hopes of spreading rumors, all because they disagree with my views about how to manage wild horses. I just wanted to let you know in case they contact you to turn you against me. If anyone starts spreading rumors about me, directs you to a hate journal about me that they refer to as “the real story,” or anything of the like, I recommend blocking them. Don’t reply no matter what they say. They’re just trolls. Don’t try to publicly defend me or they will target you. I have a friend who has been slandered and harassed by these girls for about 7 years (I’ve only been a target for about 1 year), and she says that they’ve bullied lots and lots of people into leaving Deviantart and other websites. So far, only three of their victims have remained standing: myself, my friend, and one other person I don’t know. This resulted in the trolls obsessing over us.

The first girl (who is probably the most dangerous and has actually had a few scuffles with the law for cyberstalking) generally refers to me right out in the open (she mentions me by name and provides links to my account in her hate journal about me.) Another one has 5 or 7 deviations (that I know of) aimed directly at me to make fun and bully me, and an entire folder in her gallery devoted solely to hate art towards me. She calls me immature names like "corn girl," "lying little brat," "sh**head," “Lolcow,” and the like, and her newest tactic is to make hate art that depicts me as a mound of feces with a unicorn horn, eyeballs, and a speech bubble which usually contains some twisted version of something I said. For example: she has one that says "Well in MY opinion, hunting is bad," and uses it to imply that I think all hunting is bad ecologically, which is actually not at all what I said. If you want links to examples of these deviations, I can provide them. I’d just prefer to leave these two stalkers anonymous for now. You’ll recognize their hate art if they ever try to get your attention. In the past, when I’ve told people who they are, the girls always found out somehow and all heck broke loose.

Again, it's not your fault. They’re just a bunch of online creeps. I don't recommend talking to either of them without a proxy server or a VPN because they have IP loggers that can identify your location and link it to your username, but if you do choose to talk to them, please, please be VERY careful! They are extremely manipulative and clever, and are fabulous writers. They know exactly what to say to get people wrapped around their fingers. If they try to spread lies about me or slander me, please report it to the DA staff right away (that’s what the staff told me to do) and don’t reply no matter what the girls say.

If you want a list of all the things they’ve done (that I know of), here you go:

1) They’ve been stalking me for about a year now, and have been stalking my friend [Yerdian] for almost 7 years. The girl who makes the poop drawings has visited my page over 133 times in one month alone! They’ve done things like this to many people in the past. They have a particular vendetta against wolves and horses, and they’ve been known to send photos of themselves holding guns (they’re hunters) and dead animals (wolves in particular) to animal-lovers in order to intimidate them. Creepy, no? They deny it, but my friend [Yerdian] has quotes. To discredit [Yerdian], they’ve fabricated a sob story about how [Yerdian] drove one of them to be sick all the time and got an eating disorder and other nonsense. However, [Yerdian] has an official court report and is working on a book with more proof than you could ever want that everything these two girls say about her (and me) is nothing but lies.

2) They support violence towards animals. I’m not talking about eating meat or hunting for food anything like that, I’m talking about actual, hard core violence. When an animal needs to be managed, they ignore any and all humane management options and instead opt for solely the ones that involve killing. I’ve seen them and her friends on multiple occasions joking about killing horses, wolves, and rabbits, and in one comment I came across in a journal one of them wrote and submitted to a Mustang group I’m a part of, the girl openly said she would take pleasure in shooting horses if she were allowed to shoot them.

3) They spread lies. As you can see in their deviations, they publically name me and my friend [Yerdian] by name, provide links to our accounts, and spread lies about how I’m supposedly “hiding the truth,” or sending notes to everyone who favorites my artwork, and other craziness. One of them has had a “notice” connected to a hate journal about me on her page for almost a year, and every so often, she updates it with more lies. She is extremely clever and knows exactly what to say to get people wrapped around her finger. She’s turned my own friends against me before. She can manipulate almost anyone to do what she wants. In her hate journal, she uses her IP logger to claim that I am the same account as several other people, which is also the same tactic she used with [Yerdian]. StatCounter (the logger she uses) lets you label IP addresses as whatever you want them to be, so it’s very easy to falsely label several IP address as one person, or vice versa, take a screenshot, and then claim two people are the same person. In the hate journal, the girl also used screenshots of hateful comments made by random people (all deactivated users who can no longer prove her wrong), and claims that [Yerdian] said those things. She claims that [Yerdian] is a rape apologist, a heterophobe (she used to claim [Yerdian] was a homophobe, funny how things change, huh?), and other nasty things. The hate journal is full of links that don’t work, Google searches that reveal nothing, etc., etc. In the comments of the hate journal about me, one member (one of their followers) calls me a “homophobe,” and that I should go to “super hell,” whatever that is.

4) They join groups and submit artwork to groups in order to block evade and taunt members that they dislike. I’ve had to leave two groups because of this, so I’ve decided to just warn all groups that I’m a part of ahead of time just in case they try to submit their hate art. These girls have submitted pictures of dead horses, horses being gutted by wolves, etc., to groups that I’m a member of in the hopes that I’ll see them.

5) They hack. [Yerdian] was hacked by them several times both on DA and on other websites. They use a software called RainbowCrack to decipher passwords. Unfortunately, I don’t fully understand how RainbowCrack works, so I don’t know how to explain it in any more detail. I’m not very techy-savvy… They also occasionally use Honeypot (a backdoor Trojan Horse) on people they especially hate, such as [Yerdian]. I have been able to avoid these Trojan horses because I don’t follow any links they’ve sent me or posted in groups for me to find. Honeypot Trojans work by infecting your device and sending everything you do straight to their device(s). [Yerdian]’s laptop completely crashed within a week of being infected by these girls.

6) They release personal information. In the comments of the one girl’s hate journal about me, both of them released the name of the university where I work. [Yerdian] says that a few years ago, one of these girls released her HOME ADDRESS and encouraged people to go harass her, which resulted in men showing up at her doorstep offering to rape her. That was when [Yerdian] finally got the police involved, a court letter was sent to the girl ordering her to stop. She and the other girl haven’t stopped completely, as you can see, but they have toned it down a few notches.

7) They are receiving special treatment from the DeviantArt staff. When I reported all this to the DA staff, the staff replied that it would not be considered personally identifiable or against the rules for these girls to release the name and address of the place where I work, my legal name, AND a photo of my likeness. Essentially, the staff refuses to help no matter what these girls do.

I’m not sure what else to do other than just warn you that because they’ve done it in the past and I just recently caught them doing it again, they may try to spread their lies to you to turn you against me. It sounds stupid, but it’s the honest truth.

Thank you for reading, and don’t worry! If you ignore them, they’ll ignore you, too.

Same shit, different day. There are a few new talking points here that warrant addressing, however. My sincerest thanks to the person who sent me this so that I can better fight TCU's rumor mongering. Let's get started.

"I don't recommend talking to either of them without a proxy server or a VPN because they have IP loggers that can identify your location and link it to your username..."

She thinks that VPN's and proxies can mask her phone and computer's unique footprints, but without the right tools, they can't. I can easily tell when she's visiting me through an indirect connection. Just thought I'd put that out there for everyone under the false impression that proxies and VPN's are the be-all-end-all tools of Internet privacy. But, wait! It gets better!

"The girl who makes the poop drawings has visited my page over 133 times in one month alone!"

And she says this because she uses... wait for it... AN IP LOGGER. Specifically, StatCounter, the same one I use, the same one she has relentlessly railed against in the past. I knew she'd eventually succumb to her hypocritical nature and get StatCounter. She has the log set to invisible tracking, but nothing is truly invisible within the code of a public-facing page. Internet 101, folks: right-click anywhere on her userpage, click View Page Source, Ctrl+F "StatCounter", and it's at the end of her "About Me" description, just above the "Interests" section. Searching Inspect Element for "StatCounter" will also pull it up. At least for now. Until she tries to hide evidence of that, too. I'll keep screenshots on my blog just in case. Laughing my ass off!

"In the past, when I’ve told people who they are, the girls always found out somehow and all heck broke loose."

I'm starting to think TCU legitimately lacks a sense of self-awareness. It's the Streisand Effect. We find out because she tells people about us and their natural curiosity leads them to us. And when they find out that she's a damn liar, whether of their own accord or after reaching out to us, she pretends she's all surprised that people "turn" on her. The evolution of opinion coincides with the discovery of facts. To stagnate in a point of view you know can be debunked is a disgraceful display of willful ignorance. People aren't "turning" on her; they're enlightening themselves by seeking the information she refused to provide in an effort to besmirch our good names. If she just stopped talking about us, people would stop coming to us.

"...they’ve been known to send photos of themselves holding guns (they’re hunters) and dead animals (wolves in particular) to animal-lovers in order to intimidate them."

I addressed this in the last journal, but I have to address it again because she's now accusing multiple people of this, presumably me and sulfide. She couldn't prove it in my case, and she can't prove it anywhere else.

"...they’ve fabricated a sob story about how [Yerdian] drove one of them to be sick all the time and got an eating disorder and other nonsense."

So, how many of you remember when I was chronicling my healing process after my car accident in 2012? Remember how my doctor recommended that I take up yoga to relieve the pain in my back and prevent the formation of scar tissue? And remember when Yerdian made a stamp* about "ahimsa" and used it as a platform to rail against me for practicing yoga because I don't adhere to the same lifestyle she does? Yeah, that's what TCU is starting to sound like. Nevermind the fact that anxiety-related eating disorders are actually extremely common, I'm just a fuckin' liar, I guess? If she knew anything about the effects of anxiety on the human body, specifically the stomach, she wouldn't have room to call it "nonsense." But I don't have to explain my suffering to anyone, especially not her. I shared that intimate and painful tidbit of my life because it's relevant to the point of how dangerous and vile Yerdian is as a human being. I don't make fun of TCU for her learning disorder or accuse her of lying about it, so I don't know where the fuck she gets off making light of my health.

"They support violence towards animals. I’m not talking about eating meat or hunting for food anything like that, I’m talking about actual, hard core violence. When an animal needs to be managed, they ignore any and all humane management options and instead opt for solely the ones that involve killing."

On a good day, non-lethal management is like putting a band-aid over a cancerous tumor. Looks helpful on the surface and doesn't actually do anything. Lethal management is removal of the tumor and the application of chemo to prevent further infection. It works. The emotional fallacy that this effective approach is "violence" is absurd. Violence against animals isn't a quick bullet to the head, heart, or lungs. Violence against animals is the willful intent to damn them to the slow, agonizing fate of starvation with their "hands-off" approach to management.

"I’ve seen them and her friends on multiple occasions joking about killing horses, wolves, and rabbits..."

How you know someone is grasping for ways to make you look bad: They take an obviously facetious comment out of context after you made fun of them for saying your friends were in a cult centered around you, which implies animal sacrifice. She set the joke up, so why is she offended that we ran with it? In any case, the Cult of Tipsy is still seeking new applicants. We wear pink on Wednesdays and margaritas are served at each meeting. Please see the picture below for details regarding sacrificial membership requirements.

"...one of them ... openly said she would take pleasure in shooting horses if she were allowed to shoot them."

Except that's not what Sulf actually said. He's mentioned his love for horses previously, so this is more of that trademark animal rights "if you don't love animals like I do, you don't love them at all" garbage.

"...they ... spread lies about how I’m supposedly “hiding the truth,” or sending notes to everyone who favorites my artwork..."

Is she serious? Like, did she really just say this? This is literally everything she's doing and it's been proven a thousand times over, and I just... omg, no, I'm gonna let this one speak for itself, guys. We've reached delusional factor five.

"...the girl also used screenshots of hateful comments made by random people (all deactivated users who can no longer prove her wrong), and claims that [Yerdian] said those things."

They're live links, not screenshots. At this point, I'm starting to feel bad for TCU. Either she hasn't confronted Yerdian about her past, or Yerdian has lied to her and said that the accounts responsible for those atrocious comments about gay people and rape victims didn't belong to her. Yerdian went to great lengths to hide any connection she had to those accounts, but it really isn't hard for newcomers to the drama to figure it out if they know where to look. Not to mention, I can point them in the right direction if they're so inclined to dig. Old timers like me, my friends, and a great many of my acquaintances, though, we were around to see it, and we know what she did. TCU is just another one of Yerdian's suckers.

"She claims that [Yerdian] is a rape apologist..."

"Well... when you dress like a slut and go to places full of these cheap 1-night-stand people then yes, the victim is simply asking for it." That is what rape apology looks like. And Romaniya was absolutely, 100% Yerdian's account.

She claims that [Yerdian] is a ... heterophobe (she used to claim [Yerdian] was a homophobe, funny how things change, huh?)

Except that's not what I said. I didn't use the term "homophobe" because it implies fear, and I'm certain she was never "afraid" of gay people. I said she made "heterosexist" remarks. Refer back to PT1. Heterosexism is discrimination or prejudice against homosexuals based on the assumption that heterosexuality is the "normal" sexual orientation and therefore superior. Easy mistake to make if you're an ignoramus. Shrug

"The hate journal is full of links that don’t work, Google searches that reveal nothing, etc., etc."

Et cetera is a cop-out. Lay out your grievances in full or put an "and" in place of that comma before "Google," because you've run out of accusations to make. I've gone through my journal to ensure that my links lead to live pages or archived pages. Nothing 404'd.

And as far as Google goes, TCU used the PT1 link to the Google search results of all the places I found her talking about me and sifted through them to hide her old comments. She's replaced them with new ones where she's exchanged the term "FelisTipsy" for "F" or "FT" so that it won't show up in a search. Check it out for yourself with this before and after. I've preserved my Google search results* so she can't deny what she's done.

"In the comments of the hate journal about me, one member (one of their followers) calls me a “homophobe,” and that I should go to “super hell,” whatever that is."

Everything is always about her, isn't it? Decanii's comment was directed at Yerdian.

"They join groups and submit artwork to groups in order to block evade and taunt members that they dislike."

Again with the unwarranted self-importance. Being in the same group as someone else, especially controversy-based groups, isn't a personal slight. And it certainly doesn't fit the definition of "block evasion."

"Honeypot Trojans work by infecting your device and sending everything you do straight to their device(s)."

I decided I'm actually going to learn what a "honeypot" is today, because it obviously doesn't mean what they think it means, and I'd like to know so I can better combat this accusation. Here's what I've found, courtesy of Techopedia:

"A honeypot is a decoy computer system for trapping hackers or tracking unconventional or new hacking methods. Honeypots are designed to purposely engage and deceive hackers and identify malicious activities performed over the Internet. Multiple honeypots can be set on a network to form a honeynet.

There are many advantages to honeypots. The main one is the ease with which they are employed. Another advantage is that although honeypots seek small amounts of hacker information, the information is considered highly valuable for studying and uncovering hackers' motivations.

Honeypot systems are not perfect, however. They contain the usual technology risks such as firewall penetration, broken encryption methods and failure to detect attacks. In addition, honeypots are unable to detect attacks against systems that are not honeypot systems.

There are two different kinds of honeypots. They are classified based on their deployment method:

Production Honeypot: Used by companies and corporations for the purpose of researching the motives of hackers as well as diverting and mitigating the risk of attacks on the overall network.
Research Honeypot: Used by nonprofit organizations and educational institutions for the sole purpose of researching the motives and tactics of the hacker community for targeting different networks.

Honeypots are not always designed to identify hackers. Honeypot developers are often more interested in getting into the minds of hackers, which then permits them to design more secure systems, as well as to educate other professionals about the lessons learned through their efforts. Overall, honeypots are considered an effective method to track hacker behavior and heighten the effectiveness of computer security tools."

For further reading, check out The Honeypot Sting: Hacking the Hackers and Ethical Hacking and Countermeasures. I think it's pretty obvious now that honeypots are tools used by the good guys. Learn something new every day, folks. I am a dummy!

"In the comments of the one girl’s hate journal about me, both of them released the name of the university where I work."

Except we didn't. And she made it public information on her Facebook, anyway. And, wait a minute, are we still falsely labeling visits, or are they accurate? It can't be both.

"[Yerdian] says that a few years ago, one of these girls released her HOME ADDRESS and encouraged people to go harass her, which resulted in men showing up at her doorstep offering to rape her."

Keywords: "Yerdian says." She either can't or won't prove these accusations. Her home address was public information attached to her purchase of numerous website domains that she opted not to hide. She had the option to hide that information and chose not to. Other people stumbling upon sensitive information that's already public-facing, reasonably accessible, or a matter of public record isn't stalking. It's not other peoples' responsibility to ignore information; it's yours to hide it if you want it hidden. And in any case, I never encouraged people to interact with her. I have always maintained that people should stay away from her and TCU, because I think they're both psychotic pathological liars.

"Offering to rape." Uh, I'm pretty sure rapists don't ask first. That's why they're called "rapists." It's interesting how her language regarding this talking point changed so drastically to include such a charged word. If this were the case all along, and that's quite a serious matter, why didn't she use that term from the start?

"That was when [Yerdian] finally got the police involved, a court letter was sent to the girl ordering her to stop."

I've never received such a notice. And they can't prove otherwise, so whatever.

"They are receiving special treatment from the DeviantArt staff. When I reported all this to the DA staff, the staff replied that it would not be considered personally identifiable or against the rules for these girls to release the name and address of the place where I work, my legal name, AND a photo of my likeness."

That's because it isn't. Nor have we done any of these things. If you lived halfway around the world and I told you the name of my employer, that wouldn't tell you who I am. If someone posted a photo of my "likeness" (which means that it's not you but bears striking similarity to you in appearance, but I think she actually means if someone posted a picture "of" her), that wouldn't tell you who I am. But if you intentionally leave your full legal name plastered across your entire page like TCU does, that will tell me who you are. You can't bitch about people knowing your name when you provide it for them.

While we're on this subject, she's turned this issue into a reason for her to climb up on a soapbox about how the admins supposedly don't do their jobs. At a time when a former paid staff member just got done saying "you can not enact any change by starting petitions or "demanding justice" because that isn't going to influence the people in charge, all it will do is make you bitter and make them dislike you," she created a journal to use as a makeshift "petition" regarding alleged DeviantART staff inaction. I'd call that digging your own hole, but hey, I've been here for almost seven years, what do I know? The journal boasts a not-so-impressive collection of short stories, mostly from herself, that severely lack impartiality and proof that their Help Desk tickets actually warranted action. She's apparently threatening to sue the DeviantART company for closing her tickets? I dunno, I'm hearing bits and pieces about it, but it sounds hilarious.

I never imagined this pitiful parade of Internet sissy-fighting would go as far as it has, but it has, and I'm sincerely sorry to all of you who would rather I upload my art than have to fight these absurd accusations. Thanks again for hanging in there with me, and stay safe! Peace

UPDATE VI, JULY 13, 2016: I had to replace most screencaps and live links with archived pages because TCU has taken it upon herself to try and cover up evidence of her wrongdoings by hiding comments that made her look guilty or hypocritical. Good thing the Internet never forgets! I also updated and added archives in various sections as I've discovered more of her baseless accusations, like that I threatened to make an ED article about her or uploaded nude pictures to her account. Additionally, I've archived this entire saga on my personal offsite blog.*

Upon trying to amend this journal with a new update, it would appear I've reached the character limit for this journal. Here is part two!

ORIGINAL POST, AUGUST 23, 2015: It is with great hesitance and even greater caution that I publish this journal, but I feel I have few options left given the level of viciousness to which this situation has escalated. In my nearly seven years on DeviantART, only two individuals were ever acrimonious and vindictive enough to drive me to writing a journal. Today makes three. And I've held my tongue long enough. I'm in the middle of sickness and a family crisis, and I frankly have no patience left for this garbage Internet drama, so I'm putting it to rest.

It's no secret that I've made a lot of enemies for standing by the facts and, by extension, my friends. In a world where many people allow their emotions to cloud their judgement, science doesn't make me a lot of friends. But those who have found me through related conflict have proven to be some of the most reliable and dear friends I've ever made, some of which I've had the great privilege of meeting in real life! So many of you faithfully stuck with me through the BHB incident and I'm now asking you to bear with me through this. Since the beginning of August 2015, Lipizzaner-Kgirl, now known as The-Cynical-Unicorn, (referred to henceforth as TCU) has been using her time on DeviantART to spread malicious rumors about me nonstop in order to damage my standing in the community, even going after my friends and watchers. Thus far, her fear mongering has had a minimal effect, but I feel that given the severity of the allegations against me, it would be wise to finally speak up in my own defense. For all TCU's claims that she was "above" slandering my name publicly, she did it anyway and is still doing it. I'm allowed a response in kind with the exception that I will tell the truth and offer evidence of my claims.

The issue first began when sulfide approached TCU on one of her "info"graphics about feral horses. If you know anything about Sulfide, you know that he has a nose for sniffing out bullshit, especially as it relates to wildlife conservation. Needless to say, he served up TCU on a silver platter, but TCU had no intention of "losing" a debate to anyone and blocked Sulfide instead of continuing what began as a civil exchange of ideas. In response to her cowardly censoring, Sulfide uploaded a stamp regarding the topic they'd been debating, dismantling and debunking TCU's arguments entirely. Thus began her personal vendetta. TCU made two stamps in response, but this wasn't enough for her. She handles criticism of her opinions very poorly. She resorted to spamming the profiles of people who commented on Sulfide's stamp, shamelessly using their pages to advertise one of her "rebuttal" stamps and attacking Sulfide personally to try and turn people against him, claiming she wanted people to hear "the whole story." (Remember this quote!)

We knew she was watching every comment Sulfide made, every comment others made on his stamps, and God only knows what else. We intended to prove the severity and frequency of her stalking behavior, and the lengths she would go to keep attacking Sulfide by baiting her out of the shield she created for herself when she blocked him. Sulfide left a comment on his own stamp warning future commentators that TCU would likely try to contact them with the aforementioned spam comment and ad hominem attacks. The bait worked. A brand new account called SulphuricThunder, created on July 28, responded to the warning. Seeing that the account "joined today!"* and that the account's very first activity* was jumping right into TCU's conflict, Sulfide blocked it. After this, TCU finally unblocked Sulfide to continue contacting him. We began to suspect the SulphuricThunder account was TCU's sockpuppet account for block-evading, which, per the site rules, would be considered harassment. You're not allowed to keep contacting someone after they've blocked you on any other account you have.

This is where I came in. I've been using a web traffic monitoring tool on my DeviantART profile page since 2012 called StatCounter. It collects visitor information such as IP addresses, cities, countries, service providers, browsers, and operating systems. Only I can see it. I'm able to match the information in the log with the visits recorded by the Visitors widget offered by DeviantART, and thus identify people every time they visit. If I don't label the visitor within about two weeks, their information expires and is no longer available to me. In summation, I only keep the information I think I'll need. I originally installed it to keep tabs on a certain person who made a habit of harassing me a long time ago, but it proved to be so useful that I kept it. Since then, I've used my IP logger to help the staff catch at least three ban-evaders and two block-evaders. This has always been and will always be its primary purpose, and I've always been open about its presence on my page. I take harassment very seriously and report it to the Help Desk when it is called for. Though TCU had previously made attempts to drag my name through the mud, I finally entered the fray to help my friend.

The SulphuricThunder account visited my profile page. Initially, the account's activity was public, and so, I was able to match the visit in the dA widget with that of the visiting data in my log. The next step was getting TCU to visit my profile page. A third party sent her a note with a very unique link to my profile, a unique link that later showed up in my IP logger. The IP addresses for TCU and ST were exactly the same. The moment we called her out on this, she went into damage control mode, claiming that the ST account was just her cousin and the the account's activity was immediately hidden. When you've been around as long as I have, you've heard the "it was my cousin" line several times, usually in an attempt to alleviate embarrassment caused by doing something stupid. If this were true, it would be even more repugnant than if she'd done it herself. This would mean that she deliberately got her family involved, that she used them to further a conflict they had no part in. Either way, such behavior is despicable, spiteful, and obsessive.

Around this time, I suspect TCU sent in a ticket to the Help Desk about me showing people that she was using two accounts to harass Sulfide. Based on her own words, I'm guessing the staff dismissed her ticket. When she didn't get the result she wanted, she blamed their lack of action on me being a paying member of DeviantART, even going so far as to insinuate that I've bribed the staff. I could have a paid seven year membership, but if her claims had any ounce of truth to them, I'd be suspended or banned now. But, as you can see, I'm not. Not getting her way only sent her into an increasingly feverish tantrum.

One trademark of a narcissist is an extreme reaction to criticism, something I believe TCU has displayed vehemently through this entire sequence of events. I believe she sent this note out to her 200+ watchers, who most likely had no idea that she had even gotten into an argument with someone. More recently, she's blamed me for chain scam notes she received, scaring people through notes about that as well. She even encouraged all these people to flood the Help Desk with tickets about me because hers didn't succeed, which is also against the rules. But it doesn't even stop there. She sent similar notes to people who own groups, requesting that they use the groups platform to spread her slander further. TCU was determined to make sure that the harassment never ends.

Someone who received one of these notes, who has requested anonymity, publicly approached me with questions. This prompted TCU, who was still stalking Sulfide's stamp comments, to send her another note. The person forwarded me what TCU said to them and explained that TCU was offended that they dared to seek the whole story (remember that quote?). Ironic, right? Most people like to call this "do as I say, not as I do." TCU holds others to standards she won’t hold herself to, and that she became upset by this was incredibly suspicious. It screams "guilt."

As a result of TCU's guerrilla slander tactics, I’ve been a target of her followers' harassment and I've had a slew of journals written about me with a copypaste of her note. Thus far, my friends and I have been able to talk maybe seventeen people into removing their journals, but a few still remain of the ones we’ve been able to find, like this one, which doesn't have working links anymore because its predecessor was deleted.

I sent an inquiry into the Help Desk regarding whether or not my actions, TCU's ultracrepidarian smear campaign, or these journals crossed any administrative boundaries. In doing so, the staff have vindicated me of any wrongdoings. They’ve also confirmed that the people promoting the message in these journals, including TCU herself, don't understand what IP addresses are and how they work. In other words, she feigned victimization and manufactured panic for sympathy. And for all of TCU's kicking and screaming that the staff have sided with her, she has yet to provide any proof. I, however, will share the outcome of my ticket:

Her latest bid to get people to believe her is by taking screenshots of the Danasoft IP address sign on my profile page to attempt to "prove" that the accounts belong to two different people. What I find so interesting about this is that she has accused me of "fabricating" my screenshots, and all the while, she expects everyone to believe that hers are 100% truthful. The fact is that all she would have to do to provide a different IP address on another visit is disconnect her phone from a WiFi connection, travel a few miles up the road, use a proxy, or have a friend send a screenshot of their IP address as it appears on the sign. Worse still, she's suspiciously decided to change her mind about claiming the second account belongs to her cousin. It now allegedly belongs to a "friend." And they weren't at a "family reunion" as was initially claimed,* but rather, visiting for a "holiday." Her original story* has changed so many times, I'm not sure how she expects to convince me, or anyone else for that matter, that she's not lying.

On the subject of changing stories… When she finally figured out that her original gripe about the IP logger didn't mean diddly squat to the staff, she then tried to zero in on the only piece of information made available by the screenshot of my IP log: the city she was in. This is the last thing she has to cling to in her effort to make me look bad, and is currently her primary talking point. Unfortunately for her, she has made conflicting claims that my log's information is inaccurate, therefore negating her own allegations of "doxing." So much for that, right? To top it all off, DeviantART itself doesn't consider city names to be personally identifiable information. If I had released her postal address, however, that would be a serious violation of the rules. But I didn't. And here we are.

My friends and I know what kind of person I am. That's what matters to me. TCU, however, has proven herself a fantastic liar and emotional manipulator, and an old pro at pretending to be a victim. She has only forced this situation to escalate to this point because she's bitter that someone exposed her, when all she had to do was admit that she was wrong and walk away. Literally almost no one knew about the original spat between her and Sulfide until she began trying to rally people against him. She tried to humiliate someone else and her plan rightfully backfired.

To those of you who will comment here, I warn you that she and/or her friends will contact you, they will lie to you, and they will try to turn you against me any way they know how. TCU will attempt to inject doubt. Deception is her craft. Find confidence in the fact that she has not once come forward with any irrefutable evidence of her grandiose claims. This is a case of literally only her words versus thorough documentation. TCU has stated that she wants us to "let it go" and that she wants to "get on with her life." With as eager as she is to spread rumors, she must not want it that badly. One shouldn't smack a hornet's nest and wonder why they got stung.

I'm here to share my art, some opinions, and make friends. Nothing more, nothing less. But I will never back down from defending my friends from people who would harass them as TCU has, and I will use every tool at my disposal to cripple their efforts.

My request of you, reader, is simple: Always question what you're told and find your own conclusion. I've had the pleasure of making delightful conversation with a few people as a result of this conflict, people TCU originally intended to turn against me, and I'm grateful to them for their open-mindedness and courage to ask questions. That said, I'm willing and able to answer any and all questions you have about me, IP loggers, DeviantART policy, or any other related topics. No holds barred. To those of you visiting me as a result of TCU's vicious messages, please, don’t be afraid to visit my page or talk to me. I welcome the opportunity to make even more life-changing friends through conflict. Heart

And to TCU, who I know will read this, I'm not leaving you without an exit. I will remove this journal, the notice on my profile, and revoke public access to the comment where I've called you out for using two accounts under the following conditions:

Publicly apologize to me and Sulfide for your lies about us, and publicly admit that you do not understand how IP addresses work or what they represent
Delete/hide any and all references, named or not, to myself in all of your public-facing submissions to DeviantART (eg., deviation descriptions, journals, comments), and refrain from making mention of me in the future
Request the deletion of the journals you encouraged others to write about me

I'm not asking you to do anything you can't do. I've spoken my piece. The ball is in your court now, but given your history, I don't expect you to take any corrective action.

Stay safe and stay alert, friends! Peace

PREVIOUS UPDATES

UPDATE I, AUGUST 24, 2015: TCU has vowed that for every comment defending me against her outlandish accusations, she will donate 50¢ to The Cloud Foundation, an animal organization akin to the HSUS in that it squanders most of its money on promotional material and doesn't do much good. She is more than free to waste her money, but from this bastion of negativity, I'd like to propose a more positive counter-challenge!

Comment here with your favorite endangered animal and you will automatically be entered into a raffle. Every comment represents $1 that can be donated to one of three organizations: Protect the Harvest, The Wildlife Society, and the Society for Range Management. These organizations all support biological diversity and proper wildlife management in the United States. If your number is drawn for the raffle, you will decide which organization the money goes to. Floating

UPDATE II, AUGUST 26?, 2015: The raffle will be held on Tuesday, September 1st! Claim your chance to enter while you still can! If you would like to pledge some of your own money in addition to the $1 I'll be donating on your behalf, please let me know and I'll update the pledge total.

UPDATE IV, APRIL 7, 2016: Nothing major has happened since the last update until last night, but to catch some of you up, Lipizzaner-Kgirl changed her username to The-Cynical-Unicorn, shut down what we've suspected was her sockpuppet account, and appears to have deleted the libelous journal she wrote about me, but it hasn't stopped her from secretly spreading lies in the safety of notes. Unfortunately for her, not everyone who enjoys her art is okay with her rumor-mongering. Late last night, I received an interesting note* from someone who recently added some of TCU's art to their favorites.

The very first thing that came out of my mouth when I finished reading was "prove it!" It's mind-boggling, the astounding claims that she makes without providing so much as a single shred of evidence. The detractors she's fallen in with are guilty of the very same. Allow me to break down the lies in this note, as well as (re?)acquaint you with the company she's recently been surrounding herself with, including You-Know-Who. Oh, yeah. The monstrosity is back. And she hasn't changed a bit.

"...her newest tactic is to contact people who favorite my artwork/writing and try to turn them against me by spreading lies about how I'm telling "rumors" about her."

I've never initiated contact with anyone who fav'd her work. I've only ever become involved if I've been noted or I've received a notification via the Mentions feature. I work 40+ hours every week, I'm trying to catch up on my illustrations for my story and write my story, and I'm moving in two days. Free time has been very scarce for the past several months, and hunting down every person interested in her uploads isn't in my schedule, nor has it ever been. If people like her art, great, good for her and good for them. I'm not interested in taking anyone down or seeing anyone here fail. I only want the truth to come to light.

"She thinks everything I write is about her... Just lately, there was someone who hacked my account (I don't know who), but when I wrote a status about it to let my watchers know, she blew up, saying that I was a "lying little brat.""

Let me first emphasize that TCU has made no effort to separate mine and Sulfide's words/actions or lack thereof. She's speaking of us as if we're the same person, so this note is a mixture of things either Sulf has or hasn't said/done, and things I have or haven't said/done. And secondly, this isn't the first time she's cried "HACKER!" Last time, she blamed it on me. Back on topic, Sulf called her a "lying little brat" right here, where she once again dragged me and Sulf into something that had absolutely nothing to do with us.

"All this started because she and her followers dislike animal-lovers."

Spoken like a true Yerdian. We don't "love" animals exactly the way she does, so we must not love them at all, right? Whatever helps her sleep at night.

"She's had a "notice" about me on her page for over 6 months which contains my username and a link to my account so that people can come harass me."

She has to know by now that I maintain the notice on my page about her precisely because she pulls this kind of shit. I have a right to defend my reputation against disparaging rumors, and make no mistake, they are absolutely, by definition, rumors. No rumors, no notice. It's very simple.

"When I changed my username, one of my friends told me that she updated the notice that same day, which means she’s been visiting my page on a daily basis."

Let me clue all of you in on a little something DeviantART implemented when they introduced the username change feature. Usernames mentioned in widgets, journals, and deviations will change to match a changed username the next time they are updated. Permit me a demonstration of the notice in question.

This is a snippet of the raw HTML of my Bulletin widget where the notice is posted as it is currently:

This is the notice in the widget once I've saved it:

(Ignore the little llama there, it's a FireFox add-on that helps me spread llama love!) Her old username shows up as her new one. I never had to update the HTML because the site redirects it automatically. I don't know when she changed her username. What I do know is that I use that widget to advertise my giveaways and when I removed the last giveaway bulletin, it changed to reflect the change she made to her username. Same thing happened to my journal when I updated the skin. If you've changed your username or know someone who has, try it out sometime. Type an old username with an @ symbol in front of it and hit the Preview button. Don't tell her, though, I'm getting a kick out of her paranoia.

But, hey, thanks for letting me know you send people to my page, TCU. It reminds me of cheating couples that go to the Steve Wilkos show. Love that show. Usually when a person adamantly accuses the other person of cheating, it turns out they're only accusing them because they're guilty of that behavior. See below...

"I even made a new account to get away from her, and her spies found that account within 24 hours and began taunting me on it."

Spies, lmfao. And meanwhile, the people she sends to "check in" on me are her "friends." I've previously mentioned her deliberate choice of words when it comes to the people surrounding me, and it appears my point still stands. Anyway, here she's referring to her very short-lived account The-Painted-Unicorn, which I blocked immediately so that she couldn't pull another block evasion stunt like the one that started this whole mess. She'd already been found out by then because she did a shoddy job of hiding who she was. Like, really shoddy, you guys.

"I can't mention her username publicly... I also don't want to stoop to her level by posting her username..."

Really? Are? You? 100% Certain? A Google search says you have. Going back and hiding your comments like this and this, then commenting again and just replacing our usernames with acronyms isn't going to absolve you of any guilt.

"She has made her friends send me notes telling me to never talk about wild horses ever again, and has even threatened to contact all of my watchers."

Oh, so they're finally "friends?" Lmfao, and still no evidence. Roll-call of everyone me or Sulf have ever "sent" to tell her never to talk about horses. Sound off in the comments!

"I made the mistake of trying to warn the DA community... I asked a few people to write journals... That was gossip on my part..."

Bless her heart, she finally admits she did something wrong. Too bad it's not for the right reason.

"Her friend/partner in crime even joined a horse group I was a part of just to post anti-horse writings and pictures of dead horses."

Partner in crime, lmfao. Sulf created a few horse-related things and submitted them to BLM-Mustangs, a very small, inactive group. Considering the things Sulf made were about BLM Mustangs, they were group appropriate. There are no rules against them, nor have they been removed from the group's gallery. And, naturally, Sulf didn't submit any pictures of dead horses. He submitted a stamp discussing the horse crisis that features a horse skeleton, but the way TCU talks about it makes it sound like Sulf was posting gore. Chalk that up as another lie in her smear campaign.

"She has an IP logger... (she used it to find out and publish where I work)..."

Wrong again. I'll tell you the places I do know she frequents thanks to my IP logger: Her house and school. Where she works is anyone's guess.

"...as well as [bypass] DA's security protocols."

This would've earned me an instant ban, and yet, the staff have already assured me that my log violates no site rules.

"...this is no ordinary IP logger."

She's right; it isn't ordinary. It's incredible! Anyone can get one from StatCounter! In fact, to everyone reading this, I highly suggest you to install one on your page. It's absolutely free, outrageously simple, and completely harmless to you and anyone who visits your page. They even have instructions specifically tailored to installing for DeviantART. A few lines of HTML code and BOOM, instant logging!

"It can bypass most security settings on browsers to geo-locate us."

I like her wording here, as if geolocation is something to be feared. The only people with something to fear are up to no good. IP addresses cannot provide an exact location, only a general area. An IP address is automatically provided to the party/parties whose page(s) you are accessing. Whether or not they can see it depends on if they have the proper tools, like StatCounter for instance. There are no browser security settings outside of browser-embedded proxies to bypass, and even then, regardless of what sort of proxy is used, a visit will still provide the proxy's IP address. IP addresses aren't an optional feature when accessing the Internet.

"She is also of the habit to falsely label the IP’s of various visitors to her page, take screenshots of the false labels..."

Why the hell would I do that? That would only serve to confuse me and prevent me from keeping track of visits from problem users like her. I'm not stupid enough to sabotage a log I've been maintaining since 2012. She's just mad I found out she was snooping* on my page while she was at school. The .edu sTLD and her Facebook gave it away.

Wait a minute. She said the log accurately pinpointed her workplace. Which is it? Am I falsely labeling IP addresses, or are they correct?

"I literally have not been to any of her pages in months."

Not without hiding behind a proxy, she hasn't. Plenty of proxy visits between me and Sulf's logs.

"However, the DA staff refuses to do anything about it, which is very strange. The staff even said that even if she were to publish the place where I work, my legal name, and a photo of me, that they still wouldn’t consider that personally identifiable information."

Calling major bullshit on this one because it's happened to me and my husband before and the DeviantART staff acted promptly to remove the information from view. Her new friend, Yerdian, should've told her that, considering she's the one who did it. I find it ironic that someone who so loudly decries "doxing" would become friends with the one of the worst violators. Not to mention, her full legal name is plastered all over her page, is the URL of her website, and is used as her image watermarks.

"More information here: [link retracted]"

I've removed this link because it's a confusing journal written by an outside agitator looking for his fifteen minutes of e-fame. We'll call him Birdbrain. This kid is nothing like TCU and Yerdian. He's one of those fresh-out-of-high-school, I-know-everything politically-obsessed types who's been at Sulf's throat for a while now. The only other background information I know of is that he's a socialist whose gallery is full of copyright infringing memes he rehashed to make them about other people because he can't adequately articulate his ideas. He and TCU recently got in contact and he made that journal about this situation which essentially parrots the lies TCU told.

"My friend [Yerdian] was even hacked by this girl and has been harassed by her (both on and off DA) for over 6 years."

Enter You-Know-Who. For those of you who are unfamiliar with her, or those of you who only vaguely remember her, consider this a crash course.

She was a thorn in the side of the DeviantART community for several years known as Galaxu/Giata, Yerdian, Romaniya, Daisyvalentine, and Legua, among other short-lived handles and sockpuppet accounts. She's back under a new alias and she's up to her old tricks again. To summarize her life very briefly, she's a militant vegan (and I do mean militant), said plenty of het–er–o–sex–ist things, said racist things in addition to partaking in blackface,* said disgusting things about rape victims, said ableist things about people with eating disorders who can't go vegan, encourages others to kill themselves, and approves of death threats against those who don't agree with her. Generally, I believe she's an all-around horrible human being and I don't think you have to imagine why we could never get along. You can read a ton more by using this, and clicking the top link.

As far as the history between me and Yerdian, she's been harassing me for almost as long as I've been on DeviantART. Her disdain for me started when I began making rebuttal stamps to her radical animal rights stamps (where have we heard that before?). She teamed up with a wolf activist on DeviantART and plotted in secret to have me, Sulf, our friends, and indeed all of Anti-Wolf banned solely because we disagreed with her. In 2012, her DeviantART account was compromised by an unknown person and the contents of her notes where she discussed these things were later uploaded to 4chan. She blamed the entire incident on me despite having no proof that I'd allegedly committed a federal offense against her. Of course, she ran to the staff with her claims and they didn't buy it either. That's about the time she supposedly swore off DeviantART for good, but here we are.

During the period of time between then and now, a lot of things happened to me that I haven't been open about. She found my home address, information that I've never attached to any social media, WhoIs sites, or shared publicly. She deliberately dug for that information so that she could try to destroy my life. Not unlike TCU, Yerdian tried to garner sympathy from anyone who would listen and took every opportunity she could to libel me. Additionally, she sent a mountain of anon hate to me on Tumblr (which I knew came from her thanks to my IP logger). She even created an unflattering caricature of me for use in her vegan propaganda comic (I'll touch on this later), which she has profited from, and has plans to write an entire book about me. It's obsession to the extreme.

People sometimes sent me notes and asked me how I managed to stay so strong, but the truth is that I was in a really bad way. Her incessant harassment lead me to develop, for lack of a better term, an eating disorder. Stress caused constant nausea, which, in turn, made me fear eating. I had to over-medicate just to be able to sleep (don't ever do that, it will damage your organs). I lost an unhealthy amount of weight and slipped into depression, and there were several instances where I considered ending my life because of her.

It's not a period of my life I like to discuss or revisit, and I'm fine now, but you deserve to know what kind of person we're dealing with. Yerdian was vicious and relentless. She knew it and she was proud of it. I only suffered privately so that she wouldn't be able to enjoy it, because that's the kind of person she is. I'm saying something now because I need all of you to understand that this isn't a joke. She has gone after her own family in the past for the pettiest of slights against her. I believe there is something actually seriously wrong with her. She doesn't seem to understand boundaries, she doesn't seem to understand common decency, she doesn't seem to know how to let go. The only things she appears to understand are inflicting pain and causing immense distress to those she targets. If you want me to link all of her known accounts to you so that you can block her (DeviantART, Facebook, Tumblr, etc.), or if you need advice on safeguarding your personal information from people like her, click here to send me a note and I will gladly do so. I want you to be able to protect yourself the way I wish I had known how to.

"The girl uses a hacking software called RainbowCrack which “guesses” your password."

Today is the first I've ever heard of such a thing, and I have to say, I'd be impressed by anyone who could understand all this jargon. The fuck is a hash? A hashtag, orrr…? I feel like Hillary Clinton. "Wipe my hard drive? What, like, with a cloth or something?" Lmfao. But that's actually not what happened. At least, not according to Yerdian all those years ago. If I recall correctly, she claimed the staff told her that someone guessed her password reset question, which is how they would've gained access to the account.

And while we're talking about RainbowCrack, seems TCU is insinuating that I'm the person who allegedly posted "nudes" of her that no one saw and that she can't prove were ever posted. Idiot.

"When one of the girl's proxy stalkers hunted [Yerdian] down in real life, she was forced to get the police involved and had to move in with a friend!"

I have two e-friends in Europe, but they don't live anywhere remotely close to her, and they both think she's absolutely crazy, soooo... hey, where's that evidence?

"This girl posted online that [Yerdian] was a "whore" (please pardon the language), which resulted in men showing up at her doorstep offering to do… things."

The worst name I've probably ever called her is "bitch," or maybe even "cunt," but you know what they say about the shoe fitting. It would be really stupid to call a virgin a "whore," which is probably why I haven't. In any case, that's a really wild accusation and I'm noticing a distinct lack of evidence, so we'll call this one another lie.

"She also went on to create an entire Encyclopedia Dramatica page for the sole purpose of bullying [Yerdian]."

Wrong. King-Rodney made it. That's never been a secret. TCU is also claiming that I threatened to make an ED article about her, but immediately admitted to not knowing where the alleged threat was made. AKA, lying.

"...this girl hacked her account and destroyed it."

No evidence. Never been proven. I believe the staff told her they couldn't find out who did it.

"This girl also has a vendetta against wolves (claiming that anyone who likes wolves is a “wolfaboo” or whatnot), and, according to [Yerdian], has bullied many wolf artists to the point where they have left DA."

This trope is so played out. I've said a million times that liking wolves doesn't make someone a wolfaboo. If that were the case, I'd be a wolfaboo. And, if anything, I helped wolf artists who were being bullied. I was the founder of Unseen-Wolf-Artists for a long time, so that was practically part of the job. I also helped to bridge the gap of understanding between Anti-Wolf and its detractors as the owner of a major wolf-related group, and it helped me make a lot of the friends I still have to this day. Get outta here with that weak shit, ya'll.

"She even sent photos of herself holding guns (she’s a hunter) and wearing a wolf’s head that she shot to a young man who liked wolves in order to intimidate him."

Wrong, wrong, wrongwrongwrong, oh my God, WRONG. You moron, you weren't even around to see any of the photos of myself that I posted to my account, but you'll eat up everything a complete stranger says about me so long as it confirms your whacked-out predisposition. Let me learn ya'll a thing: I had a couple DevID photos that I really liked that I had to remove as a result of Yerdian's compulsive stalking and harassment.

I had to set up a photoshoot for the first one, so they were really nice, tasteful photos. I picked three to upload here. They were all photos of me in a forest, wearing a wolf-skin hat that I purchased from NaturePunk, who got it from a second-hand shop that received it from native hunters in Canada (I have the fucking CITES papers, don't try this shit with me), and then had reshaped by lupagreenwolf. I loved him so much and he was one of the most beautiful animals I'd ever laid eyes on. My watchers helped me name him, and we decided on Ulfric. A powerful name for a mighty animal, and I was kind of on a Skyrim binge even back then (Stormcloaks 4 lyfe, fuck the empire). A friend even made art of me wearing him. Yerdian took my persona and inserted it into her vegan propaganda comics in the form of a strawman character whose name very closely resembled my own. She had to trace over Ulfric's face from the photo because she can't draw worth a shit. After that, I had little choice but to remove the photo to prevent any further harassment from people who followed her. But that's where the "wolf head" part of TCU's claim comes from.

The second photo was one my then-boyfriend took of me shooting an AR-15 while we were at a shooting range with a friend who had just come home from serving overseas in the Marines. I liked it enough to make it my ID and it received a lot of positive feedback. It was on my front page. It didn't have to be "sent" for anyone to see it, and I wouldn't send it to people I didn't like because they'd have nothing nice to say about me anyway. And that's where the "holding guns" part comes from.

However, I've never taken a photo of me wearing Ulfric and holding "guns" at the same time. And neither of them can prove otherwise. So, again, bogus.

"It's very strange and quite scary, and the worst part is I can't tell anyone publicly because she'll come down on me like a ton of bricks."

This sentence right here sounds like an admission of guilt. Damn right I'll come down on her, because I deserve the opportunity to defend myself from cretinous gossipers. She wants to deprive me of that opportunity by sneaking around like the snake she is, but so long as she insists on dragging this out, I won't relent.

"...report her note or comment to the staff. They’ll probably ignore it, but the more information they have about what she’s doing, the better."

Here she is, yet again advocating that people flood the Help Desk with reports she admits are fruitless. I've said it before, but I'll say it again: Flooding the Help Desk and encouraging others to do so is against the site rules. The staff already dismissed all the tickets against me and she's pissed that none of them resulted in punishment. Here's a tip: Report things to the Help Desk if someone is breaking the rules.

"She has been known to use honeypot viruses."

My hubby works in IT and he had a long, hard laugh when I repeated this quote to him, lol. I've seen Yerdian use this line and I still don't know what it means. I've Googled it and nothing relating to viruses comes up. It pulls up a clip from The Interview and some IT language on Wikipedia that sounds like the Internet equivalent of baiting a criminal into committing a crime? I dunno, you be the judge.

"...if you leave her alone, she'll probably leave you alone."

DING DING DING DING! WE HAVE A WINNER! All she has to do is leave this bullshit alone and stop lying, and it all goes away. But we all know she's incapable of doing such a thing, which is why we're here all these months later. Facepalm

"Thanks again for the favorite..."

Does she send this trash to everyone who faves her uploads? Dragging total strangers into her nonsense? How pathetic.

It's funny how harassing someone can bring together even the most diametrically opposed people. Yerdian is a militant vegan and animal rights armchair activist. TCU is a conservative who claims to be against animal rights. Birdbrain is a socialist who has actively engaged Yerdian and displayed an avid dislike of her and animal rights. And I'm 99% sure he laughed about her dead rabbits on her page in the past when he associated himself with Anti-Wolf, and we chewed his sorry ass out for being a dick. I might be confusing him for someone else, but given that he was, like, 13 when it happened, I'm pretty sure it was him.

Anyway. If TCU wants to align herself with a bitter, almost 30 year-old bigot and an angsty, socialist cuck, both of whom have nothing better to do than harass people, I say let her. It removes any semblance of credibility she may have had. The only thing these three have going for them is their Internet life, which is why they're putting so much stock in drama. Since 2012, I bought a new car, got married, started my own business, and my husband and I are now looking into purchasing a house. I don't have the time or energy to devote to conjuring up all the bullshit these losers do, and anyone gullible enough to believe them isn't welcome here anyway, so thanks to them for sorting out the unthinking rumor-mongers from the people intelligent enough to question what they're told.

You guys have been an amazing support system through all this nonsense, and I really, truly appreciate all of you. Thanks again for reading, and stay safe!

UPDATE V, JUNE 13, 2016: I've been forwarded yet another note* TCU sent out, this time from several admins of a group I used to be founder for, Unseen-Wolf-Artists, who are among those I would call friends. And the claims TCU makes in this note are just as astounding as any she's made previously. She now claims that a picture of a horse being eaten by a wolf is a death threat against her. With her playing last fiddle to a terrorist attack, she needs to ramp up her efforts to garner sympathy, I guess. I'll be breaking down the contents of the note below in an interview with Musa-the-Guardian and sulfide regarding the drawings in question:

<da:bigthumb id="598434042"/>

Musa-the-Guardian has drawn a violent picture that depicts her "fursona" of me being ripped apart by wolves. The "deformed horse" is Musa-the-Guardian's fursona of me (see sulfide's deviation "It's All Just Hypothetical" for another example). The potato is their representation of my research and writings. When they don't like something science says, they call it (or the person saying it) a potato. You can visit sulfide's ID page for an example of this.

Musa made sure to submit these drawings to groups where I would see them. While the picture itself is not illegal, it is unmistakable what they are telling me: they want to me die. THIS DRAWING IS A DEATH THREAT.

ME: What made you want to draw Harsh Reality? What was the purpose of drawing it?
MUSA: I wanted to test my abilities and depict a hunting scene involving wolves. Wolves are brutal hunters and wouldn't care if their prey was disemboweled while struggling. I draw gory stuff from time to time. The majority of them aren't vent art. However, because TCU slandered you and Sulf, and told innocent bystanders that you two were stalkers, I had to vent a bit. Seeing that she makes claims about wild horses, I made the prey a horse. That horse doesn't represent her, and it's not her character like she claimed; the markings and size are different.
ME: So, you calling it a "deformed horse" isn't a slight against her, as she's insinuating? It's just a description of an artistic mistake?
MUSA: Yes, I was dumb enough to not scale the animals' size beforehand, making the horse too small. Calling it deformed is much easier, though now I feel it's just a cop-out.
ME: Does the potato actually represent anything?
MUSA: No. Originally, it was just the horse, but then I got bored. I sometimes deviate from my original ideas. I did a bit of reading and found out potatoes aren't safe for horses, so it's just a horse that likes to steal food from a farmer.
ME: Did you deliberately submit this picture to groups TCU is in with the intent of her seeing them?
MUSA: No, Sulfide submitted it to groups for me since I'm only in Anti-Wolf. I'm too lazy/don't even know half of those groups, anyway.

Musa-the-Guardian has also drawn a picture that's sole purpose is to bully [Birdbrain], [Yerdian], and myself. She draws us in an antagonistic position against FelisTipsy, sulfide, and herself. The rabbit represents [Yerdian], the unicorn represents me, and the emu represents [Birdbrain]. The green cat represents FelisTipsy, the striped hyena represents sulfide, and the brown wolfdog represents Musa-the-Guardian.

This is very clearly an attempt to start a fight. Sulfide and herself even talk about how they want a fight in the comments, and they joke about how we made the "mistake" of choosing prey animals as our "fursonas." ...the idea of predators vs. prey has very strong implications and I think you can figure out what they are.

ME: It's pretty obvious to anyone in the know who these characters are. TCU claims your intention is to start a fight and seems to insinuate that this is an extension of the alleged death threats. What was your intention with this picture?
MUSA: It's another vent piece. I was sick and tired of the continued slander and attempts to damage your reputations. It's fine if she doesn't agree with our views, but to flat-out slander my friends, or any innocent person with fake proof is something I will NOT stand for.
ME: She said you're trying to "start a fight," and cites this chain of comments as proof. Can you clarify for the folks in the idiot seats what you meant?
MUSA: I said that based on the animals' facial expressions: The dog is obviously snarling and barking while keeping her ears forward, which is not a sign of fear aggression. The unicorn's ears are back, a sign of annoyance and displeasure in horses. The others you can tell for yourself that they're mad/pissed off. However, it's also hinting on what's going on inside the circle.

...sulfide has also used your group as an avenue to spread hate art about me. In this comic, she takes a conversation from months ago, clips out the parts she doesn’t like, changes the wording, gives me an ugly “fursona,” removes most of my dialogue, and, all in all, twists the entire situation to make me out to be an idiot. Her overall message is very easy to see through and debunk, and is also scientifically flawed anyway, but that’s beside the point.

She talks about my “sh***y version,” but I don’t have anything based around this conversation. I have lots of writings about horses, but they’re not about her.

ME: I noticed TCU neglected to link to the conversation she's referring to. Would you happen to have a link to it?
SULF: No. Here's how this started: Musa and TCU were going back and forth in notes. Their long-winded conversation* inspired TCU to make a comic claiming its contents were what I said, which, as you can tell, is nowhere near true to the actual conversation that took place with not me, but Musa. She always bitches about people "twisting her words" and then turns around and completely misconstrues what was said for her shitty strawman comic. And she claims that comic isn't about me, but she saw my Facebook profile picture and it's obvious that she modeled her strawman toon after that picture.
Bullet; Green

ME: Kind of indecorous for her to call the horse ugly, don't you think? It just looks like a normal horse to me. I'd say Musa did a fantastic job.
Bullet; Blue

MUSA: While I'll admit that I don't draw horses often, she could help me improve by giving me helpful critiques, not being flat-out rude.
Bullet; Purple

SULF: She shouldn't criticize others when her artwork is god-awful.

I've reported all these images, but I'd appreciate it if you could remove them from the group gallery. I just wanted to let you know since you're an admin in this group. Feel free to tell the other admins. Thank you for your time and I'm so sorry this is happening!

And tell the other admins, she did.* And I quote, from the backroom of Unseen-Wolf-Artists:
Admin 1: "Hey guys, I recently got a note from a deviant called The-Cynical-Unicorn regarding deviations in our gallery. Like some of the deviants listed in the "Problematic Deviants" thread, she has been known for harassment across multiple accounts and painting herself the victim. If you receive a note from her, let me know, but do not engage. Her motives go far deeper than just a couple deviations in our gallery."
Admin 2: "I get that. I got a note too. I told her to send a note to the group and not to individual admins. She is definitely a troublemaker herself >->"

She even goes so far as to call one of my friends a murderer.

I would love to know the source for this and which of her friends it is. No proof, as usual.

If they try to spread lies about me or slander me by contacting you, please report it to the DA staff right away...

The amount of cognitive dissonance in this sentence is amazing. 'Report them if they contact you about me,' screamed the person sending unsolicited, bullshit walls of text to people she doesn't know in an attempt to slander me and my friends.

No surprises here, once again. I just feel that my friends deserve a platform to tell the truth, just as much as I do. TCU should consider doing her research into who my friends are and who I'm connected with so she doesn't keep sending people notes that end up reaching me. She once said I had spies everywhere, and today, I embraced that description. I'm the Kremlin of DeviantART. TCU, familiarize yourself with my KGB agents. None of your bullshit will go un-debunked.
