Although Clan EpiK has persisted in characterizing this page of opinion as a "hate site," their intimidating tactics do not dissuade me from stating my opinions publicly. I believe it's important to protect original content and vital to the health of the AC Community to do so. 

My conflict with EpiK has always been about simple things. As simple as this: EpiK copied a huge amount of content from my site and balked, every step of the way, at removing it. 

But EpiK doesn't want the problem to be seen in such stark terms. When people get caught doing something they're not supposed to do, they want to talk about everything except what they did: what he said, what she said, this is true, that's not true. They want to point fingers in every possible direction, except at themselves. They want to make it a long and complicated story, when really it's quite a simple story.

I am personally disgusted by the lengths Clan EpiK has gone to avoid any responsibility for their unethical behavior. I consider their actions to show the greatest disrespect not just to me, but to the rest of the AC Community. From the letters I received, I know there are many honorable members of EpiK who were just as appalled at their behavior; it's a true shame they got caught in the crossfire. I'd like to tell these fine people that I appreciate your letters and was comforted by your support. Thank you.

It's a shame also, that all the contributors to my site, and particularly to the quest section, were treated so disrespectfully by EpiK. I'd just like to take this opportunity to mention by name all my quest section contributors and to thank you from the bottom of my heart. Because without you, my site would just be another copy-cat dime-a-dozen rewrite of other people's work. 

Very special thanks to:
