Here’s a recap of what occured:

Post 1
J7s first report
Post 2
Follow up
Post 3
Only reference related to comments from original hip thread

I go over these post again and again and again.  I try to find some wording in them which attacks Housequake.com.... can’t find them.  I look for some sarcastic or ’nah-nah’ statement which should have provoked a response... can’t find that either.  I try to find the relevance to posting a link to a blog serving some other purpose rather than posting ’actual news’.... and I simply can not find it either. 

But I do find these statements...

"Good to see him around again! (Doesn’t mean though there was no hip op at all.)"... Parade, 1st posting from a mod later quoted by another mod Vc61.

"...because we all know that a bentley is infinitely more sexy than a hoverround or a cane."... sarcastic remark from Sevennynine referencing the blog article.

"Hey jseven,
Did you get permission to post that fan pic on your website drfunkenberry.com? You being Dr. Funkenberry explains also why the story is written as it is"... from Parade

"LOL!! Yeah right, must be true if you post this on your own website."... from vc61

Both made comments even if true showed no respect J7’s right to privacy... not to reveal ’private’ information which this most certainly would be.  Even if this was his blog.. as the alleged ’ghost writer’ he has a right to his privacy which a couple mods around here ignored more than once.

Note J7 had made no responses past the ones linked at the top to this point

"Boohoo boohoo. If Jseven had just written a neutral report and hadn’t brought up the hip story again we wouldn’t have brought it up again. Jseven keeps trying to prove that it didn’t happen. And personally I don’t like it if you bring up a report from ’just another website’ which [b]seems[/b] to be your own website. I can start a blog too and make a total different story. Prince was seen at Harvelles and that is a fact for me. Concerning the hip story I still believe the sources HQ has."... once again Parade and this post speaks volumes.. since J7 never brought up the hip story again in the first place... THE MODS DID!!!

I myself added to the conversation providing information about hip surgeries because I thought it may have been true... while also asking for civility.  Also by now... dozens of other posters the saw same thing... the moderators were defending an attack which was never made.

But this is the ones which really got me from Catelo... I’m not going to quote in their entirety... but the links are here...

"Do you think HQ (and the team of mods) are credible?That is all: there you have the answer. You can believe us or not. But our background is there to check.You are free of course to ask the same questions about others too." Link to post

"If anybody is here to get information with an open, objective attitude: try to actually read what has been posted, then make your own opinion. The situation is quite clear."Link to post

Thier you have it... a play by play recant of what happened. Not all mods added to this... but the ones who did.. were the cause, fuel and primary instigators of the situation.  Countless members tried to point out what was going on but the mods in question... dismissed what was being said... continued making attacks until ..well... they discovered the only sources which were wrong... was thiers.

So... Turnitup.. my questions to you (or any other mod who wishes to address it) are simple (or maybe not)... does it really matter whether J7 owns drfunkenberry.com or not since all he did was use it in reference to report on something which accually ’did’ take place?  Because seriously... I could understand your point if he linked to an article discussing an event which never occured... or at the least somewhere in his post or on the blog actually made reference to the hip surgery.  But he never did.  The closest response he made which had ’any’ relevance was...

"All I tried 2 do was help out the site n simply say it was not true. I was not trying 2 protect any1 or cover up anything. All I tried 2 do was help out."

I fail to see any attacks vs. this site or it’s moderators coming from J7.  Nor did there exist any such post in the ’now missing’ original hip thread.  Yet some of you attacked his credibilty.  You keep saying you were defending your own... but defending it from what..?  Becasue he never attacked it.. he simply told the truth  !Yet the most you can say is that he clouded an issue... which was clear to him to begin with... by reporting on a Prince sighting which he has done with regularity for a very long time...because he linked to a blog with a couple pictures?  Furthermore... and I beleive as fans and as members of this community who had to watch this unprovoked assualt on one man’s integrety which proved to be unfounded......... Where is the Proof of the one aspect you are still holding onto?  Where is the proof linking J7 to drfunkenberry.com?

Becasuse.. I’ll tell you... I’m not some internet guru per say... but I’m far from a net idiot as well.  I’ve looked all over that site... as well as checked the registration of the domain name on ’Whosit’... and... I found nothing linking that site directly to J7.  I’m curious as I sure many now are... are you getting your intell once more from a ’reliable source’ or do you have concrete proof to the matter?  And even though J7 has not publically asked for one himself... by proxy ’we’ who tried to point out to specific Mods that thier actions were uncalled for... and had to bare witness to the assualt on J7s credibilty and character as well as our own based on this issue... would like to see a public apology which transcends simply pointing the finger at your ’source’ and still pointing at finger at J7 basically saying, "If he didn’t link to that blog...".

You are still shielding yourself from blame in this situation by blaming your source and still trying to discredit J7s credibilty with this ’irrelevant’ Dr.funckberry blog crap. ie Like my 12 year old son who got an F in English... you’re making excuses.

I find it odd that you who used a misleading photo to ’enhance’ a reported story by you which ultimatelty turned out to be false.... now point the finger of blame to your ’source’ and to J7 for linking to a blog which stated a true event... whether he wrote it or not... as justification of washing your hands and offering no public apologies... to J7 and to your members whom you attacked over this issue.
