I remeber reading your stories when you first arrived you were really one of the writers who helped to get the stories section going. I as Chole did missed the whole 'tessdog inncednet' i took quite a long hiatus from this place and returned i think only a few weeks after you gone. At that time everyone was going on about it, though i couldn't work out what exactly had happened. It's nice to have it fully layed out, that way new users can learn form your experience.

1 problem, we know that you and dabear have the same IP, but because of you, we have new ways and better way to indentify users. We know every account you had. It's aite though, just don't be an idiot again, I'm sure you won't. The worst thing you can possibly do is lie to the staff, note Peter_Kay's perm ban.

I think you're doing great personally. I was not a member when this "Tessdog incident" that people still talk about sometimes happened... I had no clue what it was until reading your entry. And it does not change my opinion of you whatsoever...

Acouple of daysI reached to my fellow getdare "colleagues" to give Brownie a break... It was, in part, because I didn't want others to say whenever something happens "this reminds me of the Brownie incident...".

We must not forget that getdare is about fun & friendship, first & foremost. And EVERYONE is deserving of that attention. A "forum message board incident" should not make anyone be lesser then another...

On a personal note to you, Tess: I stiil have that PM you sent me a few months ago. I do read it, sometimes, when I feel down just to make myself smile... So you've at least done something right...
