Dear Websleuths Members and Visitors,
Whenever a case gets a lot of media attention it can draw out people and ideas that as owner of Websleuths I only do not agree with but highly disprove of.
There is talk of some sort of "protest" in front of someone's home in regards to Kyron's case.
Let me state this as clear as I can; In no way shape or form does Websleuths have anything to do with any protest. Nor will I allow any discussion of organizing of the protest.
In stronger language let me state it makes people look ridiculous when they pull things like this.
Remember the "protesters" in front of the Anthony house? I was completely embarrassed for them. The looked like they were out of control and over the top.
For some reason whenever anything like this happens many people, including some media, suggest these things come from "Internet Crazies."
And anything that is attached to the Internet and True Crime ALWAYS gets blamed on Websleuths.
I have lost count of the time our forum has been accused of doing things to people involved in cases when in fact we had nothing to do with any of it.
The Anthony protesters is a a good example. Websleuths was accused of letting people organize on our site.
Let me address those who are reading this and are part of the protest:
In my opinion, if you decide to go protest in front of anyone's house you will end up looking like one of the "Internet crazies" people accuse you of being.
You will do nothing to advance Kyron's case. Kyron . . . Remember him?
Day in and day out I fight the stereotype of Internet Crazies when it comes to people participating in Websleuths. We are not even close to those type of people who use the Internet to get attention through ways that are inappropriate at best.
At Websleuths we strive every day to do the right thing, to do it with class and compassion for the victims.
Thank you for your time.
Sincerely,
Tricia Griffith
