The photo below was recently sent to my 12 year old son.
It's ok to have a problem with me. But why involve childeren? This is not something adults do.
This hunt is supposed to fill us with joy, with wonder, with compassion for our fellow man. But sometimes, it fills a small number of hunters with rage. With hate. With bile.
Hunters who stop focusing on the Secret, and start focusing on each other.
Some of those hunters place blame on me. They call me a g*tekeeper. They say that I can ban people from working on the Secret. That I control this puzzle.
It's true. I am a g*tekeeper.
But not to the Seccret.
The Secret is just a book. Anyone is free to buy the book and work on this puzzle however they see fit.
I am a g*te keeper to a series of tools, a Facebook group, a Subreddit, and a Discord channel.
To use those tools you have to follow one very specific rule.
Be kind to one another.
Those who are not kind lose access to those tools.
The fact that those people feel our tools are the most integral part of the Secret as a whole, is a great testiment to what this community has created together.
I have always made myself an umbrella for attacks. Which is one of the many reason so much of the community has stuck by me.
If someone is harrassing other members, that person gets banned, and no mention of the specifics of the harassment will ever occure. The person banned will attack me for banning them and I will never offer a specific explination publically. I do not throw the harassed members under the bus. I take the heat.
If a mod has to ban or silence someone from a group, they say I did it. It's one of our official mod rules. I take the heat. Always have, always will.
This allows others to enjoy the time they spend working on the Secret, without worrying about trolls trying to ruin their time.
Lately a small number of banned users have decided to organize. Shortly before this message was sent to my son, another one sent a message to my step daughter.
I can't imagine that was a coincidence.
Thankfully she is wise enough to block private messages from creepy old men.
I'm bringing all this to light to let the community know whats going on, and place some responsibility in your hands.
The Secret is at a crossroads which will determine its legacy. Will it be remembered as a community of people working together to solve what might be the greatest puzzle of all time?
Or will it be remembered as the puzzle a couple of people burnt to the ground with drama and bu****it?
The choice is yours.
I'm posting this message publically so that you all will get a taste of what I deal with.
Once my oblig*tions are complete, I am going to take a nice long vacation from this hunt. Certain people have sucked any ammount of joy I had for this hunt away from me.
I've alwas tried my best to give free and unlimited access to as much as I could, to everyone who enjoys this hunt.
I know most of you appreciate that. Please know that I appreciate all of the time I have spent working with all of you.
I did not make this community, you did.
Now it's up to you to create it's future.
