This isn't the Pentagon....
I wasn't talking about Pentagon-level either. It's your typical basic IT department - 1 person.

I understand where u are coming from but I understand where others are coming from.
I still do care for him but what if he wasnt real..that all of his stories and everything was fake. That means I and others care for someone who isnt even real in the first place. That is probably why some people are quick to bury him while others may take longer to adjust. It is taking me longer but I think I will eventually bury him whoever he was.
If he was really who he was and didnt do this then we will either find out or not.
Like many said, this whole thing really sucks big time. I cant let it get to me where it starts to affect me in my personal life. How I am handling it is I have to grieve again and try to move on. Others may handle is differently.
I dont care, he has lied to many of us, and this is the worst one I have ever seem. I don't give a fuck about this sadfuck ever know.
Thank you, that'll be all.
There is no evidence that jillio was ever involved in this hoax. And she has things to do rl. We were wondering about her and then she resurfaced earlier today BEFORE mrs.bucket's post. She had no power last night so she wasn't able to post. As far as I can tell, she appears to be a very genuine and honest person. She does have a way of angering people as she herself will admit. The whole thing just happened to be bad timing. Even shrinks can get fooled.
As the mods have noted. the evidence points to a single person byrdie/whoeverthehellheis and there doesn't appear to be anyone else involved in this mess.
Perhaps you don't like her but it's bad to accuse someone without evidence.
Okaayy...
It's not "many" of us, it's all of us the whole community that he had lied to.
Exactly, Shel. This hit really close to home for me. He claimed to have gotten sick from a wound infection. Something I nearly died of myself four years ago. Then, we hear he "died"; only to turn a few days later to learn he faked it all.
We all feel like we've been sucker punched. I did because of my own experience; which was quite real. I know some are calling for forgiveness, but it's going to be awhile before I can really let this go and I may never forgive him.
You are correct. I think that we are all grieving for who we thought Byrdie was, and it turns out that was a very different person from who he turned out to be.

I'm having a real hard time with this,I trusted him I thought he was a friend, we talk in PM a few times,we exchange Christmas cards.I cry my eyes out when I thought he died.I have a hard time trusting people on the internet.It will take me a long time to get over this if I ever do.

This just re-enforces why I am such a cynical bastard. It also re-enforces why you should not trust people in chat rooms or on-line forums unless you really know them. And knowing them means much more than just discussions in an on-line forum. Geeze! What a load of shit!After a very long mod meeting with Alex we have come to some conclusions.
Over the last week we have seen posts from Squirt who is Byrdies alleged nephew. He may have a nephew or may not but we have found that the IP address for his nephew over this week are that in the same as Byrdies.
I first questioned what was going on when I read the Obituary. I took some writing classes and one thing we did was write them. It wasn't written correctly and believe me when I say I felt terrible for even checking this out, but I did anyway. I went and looked at the IP addresses of Squirt and Byrdie and they matched. Down to the email sign ups and even date of birth. Which could have been explained easily. I went through all of them in my head. Maybe Byrdie signed his nephew up etc...
I went to a fellow mod and presented my story but we wanted to wait it out, because believe me I would have felt terrible if I were wrong. So I kind of dropped it until today when "Twinkletoes" showed up. A past ex of Byrdie. Myself and 2 other mods seen the same thing.
The same IP address for Byrdie, Squirt and this new member who signed up today who is supposed to be in Wyoming.
This was a Hoax. For what reason I have no idea but you the members of AD deserve to know what "Your friend" has done.
On top of it, he tried to lie after he found out what was going on. I asked "Twinkletoes" earlier where she was from. Shortly after Byrdie was resurrected and IP addresses were being reset.
From here on out Byrdie will be banned for life let this be a sad lesson learned for all.
This thread will remain open as you all have a right to voice your opinions.
Thank you,
CBE and the rest of the Mod staff.

While I don 't care much about Brydie, I do care about the effect he has had on others who have suffered from real infections and griefed for family and friends. I am appalled at the hell he put us through.
