Over the past two days, multiple accounts in this space have publicly named me, misrepresented private conversations, and speculated about who I am or who I'm connected to. Yesterday, following one of those public exchanges, I received a fraudulent message submitted through a real organization's contact form, using my substack name and email, containing fabricated and damaging personal claims about me.

I've preserved everything and reported it to the appropriate authorities.

I'm saying this publicly because I think people should know what's actually happening in this space right now, beyond the public disagreements you can see. This isn't a personality conflict. It's a pattern, and it's escalating.

I'm continuing my reporting. I'm also taking my own safety seriously, and I'd encourage anyone doing this kind of work to do the same.
