All my friends who are members of the David Icke forum: As you can tell from my status update, Sean has been caught and admitted after the evidence was presented, that he has read the private message exchanges of moderators on the forum, which is illegal, and a massive violation of privacy.
All the mods who stood up to him on this are being kicked, and a couple have resigned, and more are leaving and considering it. In order to reduce the notice to members of the forum they have started blocking the ability of former mods to post but leaving title “Senior User” to make it appear as though we are simply not posting.
Your private messages are not safe nor have they ever been, however it is a violation of the forum guidelines for me to openly say this on the forum. Instead I have had to create a thread explaining some things without being critical of moderation, or even slightly bending any forum guideline… please read it while they allow it to remain up:

It was a pleasure to have been a mod on the forum for all of you for over a year, and I worked very hard to make it a fair place with positive energy where people had freedom to speak. I wasn’t perfect, but I truly tried to do a good job for all of you while I was there.
It is my and a few of the former mod’s hopes that David and DI Books will take notice of what is going on and step in and do something to salvage the forum.
Limelady, Logic_Bomb, Pinkfrued, Shodan, Gilly, Strt, and myself (Darketernal) all stood up to Sean on this matter with others perhaps soon to follow. I thought all of you should know who stood their ground for your right to privacy, and that the members of the forum should know the truth.
~Love Jason.

A lot of my Jewish friends refuse to post on the forum and several previously very active forum members who were raised Jewish felt that the forum was becoming a hate forum and left it over time. I personally find racism repugnant. I feel that from my dealings with them and their definitions of what is and isn’t racism that both Sean and Krakhead harbor at least some personal dislike of Jews.
I and several other mods met in private and felt that allowing so much anti-semtic material and holocaust denial on the forum in the name of “free speech” was making us feel like we were moderating a hate site, not a site based around love. I even stopped actively moderating for a few months because of the bad taste this left in my mouth, and I personally got into with Sean over the issue a few times.
We signed up to mod the DI forum, not Stormfront
