Tavia, I do not, nor did I ever, believe that you were masquerading as "Fiona Moore."
It is true that this could indeed be detrimental to her career. One would think that she has a vested interest, then, in "outing" the culprit. I expect to be hearing from her, under the circumstances. Especially since the "culprit," whoever they may be, has apparently "hacked" her university access as well as her yahoo, deja and who knows what other accounts.
I wonder why this person or persons unknown went to such great lengths to attack me and my partner and my websites, for such a great length of time, and in all of that time on the Lyst they *never*, until we discovered the Fiona connection ourselves (quite by accident, I might add), claimed to know Fiona or to be connected to Fiona in any way. It seems to me that if you are setting out to get someone like Fiona in trouble and to hack their accounts, that you would claim to BE them, not someone else such as "Jenny Kaye". I mean, we might never have even discovered a connection to Fiona which makes such a deception rather meaningless. It's strange to me, too, that they never perpetuated any internet sabotage against Fiona's own website, etc. Furthermore, they seem to have quite an interest and knowledge of Blakes 7, B7 fandom, slash, and fans... of course, they keep getting many of their facts laughably wrong, but the fact remains that they obviously are familiar with Blakes 7, the people in it, and the people on this list. Which certainly does not point to a random hacker.
In any case, I'm sure that the police authorities and the Oxford authorities will be able to sort everything out. I do have the originating IP addresses and copies of all of the posts made by "Fiona", "Jenny", and "Shane." I'm sure that Fiona will want to join me in this quest to hunt down and prosecute the guilty party or parties. Someone obviously thought this was a funny joke. I'm not laughing and I don't think Oxford or the police will laugh, either.
