Furthermore, Allison's lies in the chat have even been acknowledged by people who were there! See this thread for more, but here is my post from it, because I still feel the same about truth (and wanted to say something about that here) and because of the fact that Allison's lies in the chat were substantiated:

Murpheus wrote:

"Maybe because we got the chance to meet the human side of this evil monster called Allison. So she lied to us, we can live with that."

Murpheus later writes in that same post:

"So I guess this forum has turned into a hate-filled propaganda against Allison, who made the mistake to lie about the Corren issue and has no right to forgiveness from your part."

Edit: This edit was done because Murpheus accused me of being a liar and said that she did not say that Allison lied (she claimed that I was manipulating her statement and taking it out of context), yet Murpheus neglected to read her own post where it is quite clear that she did admit that Allison lied, twice. I DO NOT lie and I do not post things unless they are backed by facts.


You acknowledge that Allison lied to you guys in the chat. THIS is ALL that Sean was trying to say! This has been what ALL of these posts from both Sean and myself have attempted to convey. Neither Sean nor I care enough about Allison to "hate" her and we have NOT attempted to portray her as an "evil monster." All we have done is RESPOND to posts with the TRUTH. In fact, it is BECAUSE Sean responded that you know that Allison LIED. If Sean had NEVER responded and pointed out the truth, then you would NOT know this. What is so wrong with Sean being concerned about the truth? If the TRUTH about Allison makes you think that she is an "evil monster," then that is your perspective, but it was NOT the intention of either Sean or I.

This whole thing started because Sean was being a good person. He did not think it was kind for Allison (then later others BECAUSE of Allison) to use #LAM or the board to bash Corren. By the way, how did anyone in the chat know whether Corren�s statements regarding LAM were true or not? It was because Allison told everyone in the chat that Corren was a liar. Sean was concerned about Corren and did not want anyone to be so incredibly cruel to another human being, like Allison was acting towards Corren by pretending to be Corren's friend, then making fun of Corren behind her back. This is incredibly mean! I cannot believe that you guys believe all of these negative things about Sean (which are untrue!), but think it is fine to treat Corren this way, ESPECIALLY given some mitigating circumstances that Allison knows (and I tried to convey before on this board and to Deviancy), and which furthered the immediate need for Sean to get Allison to stop. After this, all that Sean tried to do was to tell the truth. Again, he could not go into all of the details of the situation (for the sakes of both Allison and Corren), and was trying to convey the truth without going into these personal details (BECAUSE he was being NICE), but you guys refused to believe him. Sean is the most HONEST person that I know and this has been ALL that this has been about, getting to the truth.

It is quite insulting that some seem to believe that either Sean or I (we are both EXCEEDINGLY busy people), would really be such petty individuals to "hate" someone like Allison, or to go to the trouble of doing any of the things some of you guys seem to think that we have done to her. In calling attention to the truth, I thought it would be a GOOD thing for everyone, even Allison! Perhaps she could have come forward and acknowledged what she did and put an end to it and moved forward in a positive way, for her own sake and that of the band. Even though a person may have some success in convincing other people that they were wronged, does not mean that the individual does not acknowledge the truth to oneself. I have always believed that nothing can make a person more miserable than knowing oneself has lied and wronged others, although perhaps I am a bit naive about the true toll that conscience takes. Perhaps Allison's life is not as happy as it could be because of some of the things that she has done and perhaps being honest and attempting to move forward positively might have been the means for her to make positive strides in her own life. The reason that Sean or I have written anything is because we actually DO care about the truth and about having a positive forum for the LAM fans. I WANT to know that the US funded Saddam Hussein for 30 years. History is important and truth is important when determining how best to make the world a better place so that we do not repeat the mistakes of the past. I want to know WHY people do what they do and I have the UTMOST respect for facts and the truth (that is WHY I am a scientist). This has NEVER been about requesting that you guys take sides because there are really no sides to take, there is just the TRUTH vs. a LIE. Perhaps Sean's fault was in believing that others care as much about the truth, other human beings, and doing the right thing as he does.
