"We uploaded this photo in our group in April 2018" - Not in April 2018. That person on VK posted it in April 2018. And you uploaded this photo in your group in 2017. Fact. Don’t try to provoke me, please. Maybe you re-uploaded it later. Not my problem.

"It is true that since January 2018, you have been searching pics+info by yourself" - I have been doing it even before January 2018.

"if people only want to observe our group, then they are welcome to join" - I think you are lying / downplaying, because since day one you blocked me for nothing. If you didn't, I wouldn't start posting all these photos and info.

"I sort of “revealed” my Tumblr name" - I knew who you were long before that. It wasn't a big secret.

"I think this is your latest fake Facebook account BTW, with which you have been in our group for the past two weeks: https://www.facebook.com/opal.info" - I don't know what sources you use, which make you think that this is my so-called fake page. It's definetely not my page, not my fake page, I don't know who Jil Johnson is, etc.

I posted this photo in August 2019, edited info in August (a f t er your comment) 2019, not in September 2019/October 2019/the past two weeks.

UPD (17/10/2019)

You say “it’s up to me”? Then why are you attacking me now? I didn't post any info, which firstly appeared in DMCPAV group in 2018 or 2019. You need to remember better what and when you uploaded/re-uploaded before accusing people. And I was an observer for 10 month of 2016 only in your imagination.

We both know that in 2016 I wasn’t in DMCPAV. Also we both know that “Jill Johnson” isn’t my “fake account”. What even “a number of odd things about this Facebook account Jill Johnson” you are talking about?

I've posted almost everything that took from the group in 2017.

Anyway, here’s the story.

In 2016 I was more oriented on VK communities Depeche Mode News and Dave Gahan Forums. I had no idea about your existence, till that moment when Depeche Mode News mentioned DMCPAV (here, for example: https://vk.com/wall-52768949_13000). I send a request to your group on the 1st of March 2017 (perhaps on the 28th of February). I was banned on the 1st of March 2017. I wasn’t there even for 5 seconds as I mentioned earlier. Maybe I wasn’t banned exactly by you, maybe by Andy McMinn or any of the other admins. It’s not really the case. I thought then: “Maybe my account does not meet some of your requirements? [Don’t know which… besides DM on my account was a couple of topics…] Ok.”

Later on the 25th of March 2017 Depeche Mode News posted your video: https://vk.com/wall-52768949_18438. In that moment I decided to enter DMCPAV again. I found out that there are true professionals who publish the most full and checked info. And that’s what I needed as a young fan. I needed some education on the topic (not myths, which Internet and books (partly) is full of). That’s why I’ve decided to make another “proper” account. I sent the request to DMCPAV on the 29th (28th?) of June 2017. On the 29th of June 2017 I was blocked. A couple of hours I was just an observer on the moment of the second entry. You did not find it necessary to inform me what I did wrong. You just commented with the links to my private accounts on other social networks. ??? Only after this unfair moment I reacted emotionally and posted some photos giving a credit to DMCPAV. I didn’t plan to start a blog “Today in DM History”,Because on the 29th of June 2017 I didn’t save any information - I was banned very fast (couple of hours later), lol. If I posted some dates in the period of June to August that was dates of that time concerts, which was impossible not to know. Later I edited the info of old posts with DMCPAV photos. With a help of some dates and info which I saved from your community. In 2018 I decided to correct some info of those photos which other people leaked, yes. I think it deserved to be done. In admiration of your work. I mean, I indicate the source and info, I specify that photos not one of mine or one of those who leaked them. Sometimes I don’t have enough energy or time, so I edit submission after the post was created. You know, you can edit posts on Tumblr as many times as you like.

So, in my DMCPAV story wasn’t a 10 month of observation.

The end.

You made a mistake. Or make fun of me because you know this whole story so well.

I checked your Tumblr daily because:

1. There was a precedent already [here] when you posted a couple of private accounts on social networks behind people’s backs. This is unacceptable. There wasn’t any of DMCPAV content. Of course I keep an eye on you.

2. From time to time you’ve posted interesting DM-related content, which I reblogged, when it was possible.

Your worries understandable. But this is too much.

I apologized. I admitted I was wrong. I don't steal your last money or food. I know that some info (magazines, for example) costs money, but at the same time you’ve posted them on DMTVArchives for free.

I give a credit. I indicate the sources.

Yes, I was in your group a couple of times during 2017. But not in 2016. Not in 2018. Not in 2019. Facts.

I don't have a desire to post anything DM-related anymore.

I just want to make clear that:

I haven’t made any fake Facebook accounts (since 2017) as far as I remember;

I don’t have any Excel files on my computer at all - I don’t understand how to work with them, lol;

I post very slowly, because in contradiction to Linda Meijer I’m not able to be online 24/7 and I post when I’m in the mood;

Yes, some dates I’ve found in DMCPAV Facebook group and saved them, but only some of them. Not everything that posted is taken exactly from DMCPAV. There are many other ways to find the info.

From day one I didn’t want to post anything. I’m not a public person. When I have sent the request to this group, I just wanted to have access to info/photos and videos for myself – not for sharing. Only after I was blocked twice for absolutely no reason I started to share something. Tiny bits compared to DMCPAV archive. I didn’t break any rules of the community, but they blocked me. The first time immediately after they accepted me. What have I done in 5 seconds? Jeez.

I do not arrogate the work of other people. Yes, I have shared something. I’m not the only one who did that.

Besides that I find a lot of info/photos and videos by myself.

I’m not doing it for likes/reposts/popularity. I do it for the young fans like me who:

weren’t even born in the 80s, for example (like me);

aren’t able go to the concerts and traveling with the band – and it’s not only because of money (like me);

aren’t able to buy merch or books, because they are living too far where even Visa/Mastercard/Paypal not available (like me);

who want to know everything about the band (like me);

for those, who want the most reliable info. DMCPAV is that kind of community, which could provide that. Unfortunately the community is closed. It really makes me sad that verified info, wonderful photos and videos won’t be seen by other fans.

That’s why I did what I did. I’ve made a mistake and I’m sorry. Please accept my apologies.

This is not my first fandom, btw. Before there were at least 5 serious fandoms. And in each and one of them people share rarities, facts, collect money to buy rare content (photos and videos). Why in this fandom nothing like this?

Linda Meijer and other DMCPAV admins have never personally talked to me on this topic.

I accepted the fact that I’ve been blocked a long time ago.

So I would highly appreciated if she stop witch-hunting.
