This site provides a venue for those changed for the better to speak and commune. Gratitude and peace to all of, the shadow side as well as the light- after all, we must experience both to truly find ourselves.

However we can say that Ken's involvement was extremely indirect. We do hope to be able to tell the whole story in the near future.

If not, would you simply please say so, and explain why? Do you plan on addressing the outstanding question of how Ken Dychtwald’s name became linked to the take down of this site?

Am I happy to see you back! Now, without revealing any compromising secrets, can you tell us "What Happened"? Particularly, how was Ken Dychtwald's email address involved in the Esaleaks takedown? Keep smiling Esaleaks, t'is a good thing! Smiling, hi to “the Nine” of the Twelve intergalactic beings! Am I happy to see you back!

I support your attempt to maintain a forum for discussion. I regret that some of us feel the need to maintain anonymity, but anonymity is better than silence. Welcome back!

Like you we would be very happy to see other accounts of Staff Week proceedings published. We rely on our contributors to produce any such account, as “Super-hero mission” was. Calling that particular article “your attack on Trisha McEntee” is somewhat inaccurate, as we are only the editors. We hope to make this clearer in future publications.

Even as a general supporter of your mission, I found your attack on Trisha McEntee more polemic than usual and in fairly poor taste. I would have preferred a less personally denigrating account of staff week proceedings, and a re-posting/analysis of her video interview which, imo, largely speaks for itself. I am interested in clearing up the issue of the who and how of the site going offline, with a message indicating Ken Dychtwald as the originator of the take-down, which he has categorically denied.
