[QUOTE="GraphPaper Architect, post: 8705436, member: 7034739"] Hi I'd like to add, It's true NuTSR official never said, however, I wrote the press releases with Justin's approval that way because we'd hoped Jim Ward could salvage something from Giantlands even with this whole mess. Stephen Dinehart was in charge of the Giantlands account and wrote that Tweet to Meg before I came onboard. I never had access to that, or any Wonderfilled accounts. This is further corroborated by Luke Gygax on Tik Tok. [MEDIA=tiktok]6980449975389965574[/MEDIA] My reply to the question why I stayed with NOTSR so long. The simple answer is I did not know. I was working with him/them (Justin) remotely and he was very careful not reveal to me his nature until January, then I left. When I began working with NuTSR(NOTSR) LaNasa part of my initial questions of them were: 1. Who is in charge of the social media - they, Justin, Jeff, and Ernie, assured me they were not, and in fact told me it was Stephen Dinehart IV. That did turn out to be true, and while it was Stephen that was the IT and PR manager that tweeted to Meg the Sorceress and also hijacked NuTSR's URL's attempting to sell them on Twitter, it was in fact a coordinated effort between Justin, Stephen & Ernie to manage the PR. The PR and IT was turned over to me initially but then quickly reverted back to Justin making posts and me behind him with the fire extinguisher. They were inflammatory and needed much correction, but he did not make any overtly prejudice etc posts or comments, that I was aware of, while I was with them. I still don't know everything he posted. ((Edit)) I believe Kim Wincen on Twitter has records of the tweets from Stephen Dinehart and WFD accounts stating that Dinehart claims ownership and responsibility for the TSR.Games URL's, accounts, and tried to sell them on Twitter. 2. I specifically asked (Justin & Ernie) if any of the allegations of bigotry, prejudice, and other heinous ideals were true, and I was assured they were not. I was assured that they were in fact inclusive and that "anyone/everyone is welcome at their tables". In conversations with Justin we did not discuss the issues after this initial assurance I received from Justin, Ernie and Jeff. Justin also did not attempt to push the agendas he is now, instead he sold me on the idea that we would be bringing back TSR alumni, which proved to be another fabrication. When I was brought to Lake Geneva by Justin, there was no discussion about it, we only talked about business or gaming. No discussion about any personal topics were had. Ernie, Donna & Jeff were wonderful and gracious hosts to me, and I had a fantastic time at Victoria Con meeting Mike Carr and much more. There was nothing to indicate any problems, and all discussions were about business and gaming with them. Slowly that changed after I came home, Justin's comments in person and posts became more and more erratic. He and I had many discussions and arguments regarding the things he was posting and their meaning until finally in January he made himself clear to me, and I resigned. It is not in my nature to go in public and make statements, and you are the first to ask me with genuine sincerity so thank you for giving me this opportunity to make things quite clear as Don already has in his video, which I will be responding to in kind. It is unpleasant to have to do things like this, but I look at this as a much needed opportunity to clear out bad apples, just like the reporting on Satine and Jamison's behavior so we can rid our community of people that are causing harm. Thank You for asking Waibeir. [/QUOTE]
