Cabinet's Rep insisted repeatedly before...

Roavin wrote:The logs are currently classified but are available to the court upon request.


...and after submission...

Roavin wrote:
Mall wrote:How is a conversation between Ever Wandering Souls and Imki confidential and thus not subject to open disclosure to this court if the conversation is between Imki and the person who the Cabinet is refusing to disclose it to?


The issue isn't that Petitioner receives the conversation, but rather that it originated from private conversation and Imki herself has only cleared it to be shared with Cabinet, not publicly.


...that the conversation in question was confidential/necessary to be submitted privately to the court, despite me being party to it. We chose, as here -

Mal wrote:A full copy of the conversation between Ever Wandering Souls and Imkitopia has been provided to the Court in private. I see no reason why any of this conversation should be considered classified, but we are available to work with the Court to redact the logs as necessary pursuant to Article VIII, Section 2 of the Judicial Act.


...to submit it privately until such time as you returned a definitive ruling, rather than be accused of running afoul of your law, in the face of strong assertions by the Cabinet's rep that a conversation I was party to and able to pull logs from remains legally confidential. The Court's ruling hence that redaction to evidence submitted would be so total as to return a blacked out page did not really differentiate between, for example, this bit of evidence and any other material submitted concerning accusations that Cabinet's Rep refuses to even publicly specific in detail.

We'll continue to meet your rules and deadlines to the best of our ability, despite how silly it is to continue trying to defend me against allegations we're not being allowed to hear made. Looking forward to the next set of questions and rulings from The Court.

Yeah, I agree it’s silly that they’re humoring me and their democratic law, when they obviously don’t intend to even let me properly dispute anything truly of import. After all, how can I dispute any details of “you tried to overthrow the government, but we’re not telling you when you supposedly did so or with whom or anything else, just that we’re claiming you did and sending the court secret evidence.” It’s indeed farcical to act like that’s a fair trial, a fair chance to challenge a determination of hostility. It’s a joke to act like logs can’t be faked to even the server level given enough motivation, or simply taken out of context. It’s ridiculous to ignore the fact that the government of TSP has already accused me of blackmail and withdrawn that once it was proven false, made claims about TEP and TWP that are false, intentionally misconstrued conversations between me and imki despite *her* objections otherwise, and gotten basic facts about the incidents they have actually chosen to detail wrong, and then to just assume that despite all that whatever mystery evidence they’re presenting is hella legit.

But that’s not what you meant, is it?

Foreign subjects of proscriptions don’t have the right to a fair trial, so it indeed would be farcical to portray a judicial review that way. Your case isn’t a trial. In either case, TSP’s court is not adversarial.

Yes, we're extremely sorry for continually getting the name wrong, even though everyone knows what we mean.


You know, someone resigning legislator status with the words " I would like to revoke my own legislator status. Y’all make me sick" doesn't really inspire great confidence in what's going on over there. Just a thought

It was colloquial, which is why I followed with “a fair chance to challenge the determination of hostility,” borrowing some of the actual wording in the proscription act.

Call rabble rousing if you’d like, but personally I’d love to see Escade share some of the things that the grapevine tells me the administration slandered her with over the past few weeks, now that I guess there’s nothing left to lose.

Could be worded better so let me try again - there’s clearly another side to the story here, and the version I’ve heard a few takes on is generally “the clique wanted tim gone, escade refused to help with what she saw as bullying, and in being an obstacle she became a target as well. The person glen wants gone is gone, and those who stood in the way are gone. Again.” I’d love to hear it from the source though.

Everyone who overlooks the common elements that have survived several TSP toxicity purges, coups, etc, and who continue to believe those common elements when they blame others and run them out of the region yet again, has done this.

There’s a reason none of these events solve the “toxicity” issues, why those issues remain persistent despite the cyclical removal of “problem people.” The root issues are not being removed; they just lack any opposition for a while until a new one develops.

It's absurd but unsurprising to see that Escade and Tim were banned, but those on the other side of the conflict were left in place.

It's unsurprising because the same administrators who decided to ban Escade and Tim were the other side of the conflict. This is a complete sham, and while I'm not surprised to see Tsunamy and Glen-Rhodes engaged in it, I'm genuinely surprised and disappointed to see Roavin engaged in it and some others I thought I respected supporting it. Banning one side of a conflict while the other people get to continue being awful to whomever they feel like, as Glen has consistently done for years, isn't going to cure TSP's toxicity. You've swept toxicity under the rug by banning one faction. You haven't fixed it.
