I read your journal and I didn't completely understand what was going on. After reading through people's comments I found a link to the page on ED, and to me it was pretty apparent to me someone was trying to harass you and damage your reputation on dA. I immediately felt I had to respond on your behalf.

It's not important to me what happened between you and the other party which led to this; that business is between you. But, to me, it is offensive that someone would create such a page on Encyclopedia Dramatica merely to get back at you. It's immature, and unfair to everyone who's been referred to that site who isn't able to analyze it critically -- deducing whether the statements and interpretations are true or not. (And, as far as I'm concerned, the author immediately destroys his or her own credibility by resorting to ad hominem attacks, insults, and other such fallacies.) Whoever bought into whatever was said about you should question what they've read. Claims, proposals, and interpretations about anyone or anything cannot be proven to be true until both sides of the story are told and solid evidence is provided (images fetched from the internet doesn't count as evidence).

I'm surprised/disgusted at someone responding in that way to your recent fight/argument - using a public space to attack your image on dA. This is an online community for artistic expression and development, and although others should be allowed to express their criticism towards another's style/approach in art, it should be conducted with respect and honesty.

With respect to deviantART as a webservice and community, I support your efforts to share your artwork with us. For those who have/are/or are planning to slander your image, I urge them to read dA's TERMS OF SERVICE agreement -- something which everyone who has commented has agreed to when signing up. Drawing from the section which applies...

19. Conduct

c. to upload, post, or otherwise transmit any material that infringes any copyright, trade mark, patent or other intellectual property right or any moral right or artist's right of any third party including, but not limited to, deviantART;

Final comment:
LinktheWolf has the ability to report this violation to the dA staff. He'd be an extremely nice person if he chooses not to. To the violators of this agreement: think about what you do before posting such negative comments, people. Keep dA a positive and constructive community for artists. Please.

Thank you,

I feel for you, man. Those bastards at ED are quite a tasteless bunch...

ED always has been and most likely always will be a home for troublemakers. Best of luck.

This is just sickening. They provided absolutely no proof that you did these things. All they did was post some fucking disgusting images of a cat being abused, with ABSOLUTELY NO EVIDENCE in these photos pointing to you being the perpetrator. And somehow, every fucking sheep on the internet immediately assumed that because it was on Encyclopedia Dramatica, they MUST know something that proves you are the person behind this. It's a manipulation of people's emotions to destroy you, just because you have made a different lifestyle choice in your decision to portray yourself as a "furry".

Words cannot express how sorry I am for you.

Funny, but tasteless.

Please don't kill me for saying this, but Uncyclopedia is 1000000x funnier than ED will ever be.

I won't kill ya. I haven't gone through Uncyclopedia, kept for one page on Wikipedia and how it is a copy of Uncyclopedia. It was pretty funny.

Hahahaa, you act like you did something heroic.
"Here's the simple truth. I toed it with /i/ and anonymous. I blatantly operated against them. To little effect/avail, I admit, but I did it, and what's more, I did it alone."

I don't hate you for what ED says. I just think you're a self-loving faggot. Bless you.

And I don't think a lot of the people genuinely think you did the cat mutilation. But it's flipping funny to blame you.
