This is part of the trascript from the Nancy Grace show on Headline News, CNN. This is a conversation between Nancy Grace and JIM MORET, of "INSIDE EDITION".
-------------------------------------------------------------
GRACE: He goes by the name Skulz, S-k-u-l-z.
MORET: Yeah, that`s enough to give you the creeps right there I think.
GRACE: Yeah, I mean, have you looked at it? It`s all stuff about death and dementia and tormentia. This guy, instead of going out and getting a job and working for a living, like the rest of us, is online all day making his kooky -- look at the skulls! Help me -- Jim.
MORET: I don`t know what to say, because it`s disturbing when you look at it. And it`s even more disturbing that he meets young college girls and he -- you know, you`ve got a 38-year-old man here. I don`t care how savvy a young college girl is, it`s easy to manipulate a young girl, especially when you`re 38 years old. And that reminds me of somebody who may be a predator. I`m not saying that he is, but there is enough disturbing information about this person that gives me cause for alarm.

Ok, I am SICK AND FUCKING TIRED of all Goths being maligned whenever one who is slightly intrested in any type of gothic imagry gets busted for something stupid. The mainstream press goes out of it's way to be lazy and not do it's research into who and what the gothic community is about. They don't care about the truth, they care about what sells. I fired off an e-mail tonight, went a little something like this......
To Ms. Grace
I'm writing in regards to the Taylor Behl disappearance and Ben Fawley . I am sick and tired of the Goth community being maligned by the mainstream press every time some nut does something wrong. I think we are owed an apology. You never see any headlines dealing with any of the positive things that some of us try hard to do, such as that of the Utah Gothic
http://www.gothics.org/mission.html
who do community service, not to mention all those who are in the US military and currently fighting in Iraq. Before the mainstream press decided to become interested, I posted an alert for Taylor on my blog and website. Yes, this goth and others do care and we have spread the word. I hope she is found safe. 99.9% of us are hard working, Law abiding, taxpaying, and voting adults who just want to be who we are and be left alone. Yes, we look a little strange but so did our parents back in the 60's. One bad apple comes along and somehow the media does everything it can to malign all Goths as sociopaths. I'm sick of it, it's slanderous and libelous and I am fighting back. I challenge you to do one positive story on the Gothic community and apologize on air to the gothic community at large.
Thank you

No, Sorry I didn't use my real name. Call me chickenshit if you will, I don't want to deal with bullshit at my job. Not from co-workers, but from some of the residents. I gotta pay the bills too. If you wanna drop Ms. Grace a line or read the whole transcript of the show, Go here http://www.cnn.com/CNN/Programs/nancy.grace/
Aparently there are still remnants of the empire still running around, like chickens with their heads cut off. I have no time to play with you kiddies, back to the playground. All the adults are busy talking.
Threats have been thrown around here and there. Not just at me but others. Let me just state this, I take threats aginst myself seriously. First up, you gotta find me. You can't find a Gypsy who don't wanna be found. Second, I carry a .45. I don't miss. Third, as far as sending me a curse or other bullshit, my little cottage in the deep woods is well protected. Any Questions?
As far as the "empire" goes, what empire? Now I have to wonder what's next. Which deluded fool is going to step forward to take the place of the late empress?
You can probably guess that I don't care for such matters. I'm content to stay in my stone cottage, surrounded by the fog and mists. Perhaps one day I'll leave for Ireland or Egypt. I need someplace that resembles home.
So The empress is gone......
Hmmmm, I'm not surprised. She had more than enough rope to hang herself and she did. I'm just surprised Cancer put up with her shit as long as he did. Well, he did do something about it, major kudos Cancer! She was a poor, deluded fool who apparently managed to get other deluded fools to follow her. How sad is your fucking life when your own imaginary empire is destroyed?
It seems that she decited to come on here just to piss off the "gawths", well it worked. Don't you have better, more important shit to do? Quite frankly she just sounded arrogant. Some people are aparently leaving with her, buh bye.
Now hopefully we can have some good informative discussions regarding people such as ourselves without others insulting us.

The more I look at the message boards, the more I want to put my head through a wall. It might be less painfull.
I have been doing Research on Vampires since I was a child, and seriously since I was around 14. I spent my free time in high school at the library (internet wasn't available where I was). I had to spend hours going through books.
Then when the internet was available to me, I spent hours online (keep in mind this was the mid 90's and little accurate information was available). Now there is so much info, some accurate, some not that if you want to find it you can. Just don't be a lazy bastard, google the subject.
I have enough info to publish my own book, but I will not do so. Some secrets need to be kept.
It appears that Ryu's profile has been hacked YET AGAIN. This is the 5th time.
3 lucky guesses who might be responsible........
You might ask why I give a damn, since it is not on my site. It bothers me greatly when someone who deicides (for reasons all their own) to wage war in such a way. At least have some honor about it for crying out loud. Enough of the underhanded, sneaky bullshit! Declare open war and get it on (anyone for another edition of Thunderdome? LOL) If you can't do that, just block each other and move on!
ATTACK THE ARGUMENT, NOT THE PERSON!
And if nothing else, always do so with honor.
Control your emotions and your temper, and above all, be civil to your enimies.
There is no shame in deciding not to fight a war,
especially when it's not worth the loss and casualties.
But who the hell am I?
I'm just the local Ronin,
I am servant to Isis and Kali
Stuck out in the woods, quiet and to myself
Just the way I like it.
Gotta speak your mind.
But once again
THAT WAS NOT ABOUT ANY PARTICULAR PERSON!
there were a few people who were just being disrespectful of others and that pisses me off.
I've got a couple of rants for tonight, One is this.
ALL OF THE ARROGANT SHITHEADS I'VE RUN ACROSS ON VR. Most of the people are nice as can be, but once in a blue moon you run across someone who thinks the world revolves around them. No I'm not stating any names, this is not about any specific person.
First off, if you don't believe in vampires and think that those who do are crazy, WHY THE FUCK ARE YOU ON HERE? There are plenty of goth related sites that have nothing to do with vampires, go there and be trendy to your little black heart's content. Have fun! Leave the rest of us deluded fuckers alone to do as we will.
Second, None of us has all the answers as to who and what we are. Respect differences of opinion, and if you must argue ATTACK THE ARGUMENT, NOT THE PERSON! We live in a civilized society (I'd like to think so anyways), there are ways of disagreeing and not being offensive.
There is so much disrespect being thrown around out here it's embarasing to say the least. Let's face it, 90% of the people on here are between the ages of 15-25, and living in mom and dad's basement. Some of you actually live the lifestyle, have covens or households. I applaud you for doing so, it's not easy.
The rest just seem to be gamers who just want their kicks, or people who claim to be 2000 years old or something like that.
There's more things in heaven and earth than we are meant to understand. Such is life.
If you are offended, move the fuck on! There are other profiles out there.
