re: South Korea, who are your congressmen?

In an article titled "South Korea, who are your congressmen? or, why we will have no more wargames", Ronnie James Dio Enterprises (an org), made attacks against my (and others') credibility as a citizen and congress member as follows:
"....

....
I ask you South Korea since you voted for them, who are these individuals? They were all born with in the last month. They have no shouts about anything other than "ive been elected". Some of them have NO FRIENDS. They have no newspapers, or articles, or presentations. They are not on the national forum, they have not responded to PMs by the Speaker of the National Assmebly . Some of them DONT EVEN LIVE IN eSK ANYMORE. One of them has ALREADY BEEN BANNED for multiple accounts. This isn't even an exhaustive list, just the most ridiculous."
I cannot speak for the others on the list, but the article's assertions about me are patently false.
I was born 6 months ago (which can be verified on my bio by anyone) in eSK under Theocratic rule. One of my shouts from 4 months ago is about the Theocrats leaving eSK. The last shout was from two months ago about the (IRL) sinking of a South Korean cruiser.
My friends list is short because I only add people that I genuinely identify with.
I have no articles because my last experience with them was... less rewarding than I had hoped (some of you probably remember). Anyone familiar with (IRL) SK will recognize my name and avatar and hopefully that will be enough for them to know that I am not here purely out of convenience or opportunity.
I am on the national forum, though I do not comment much because most of the debates are over ideology and I don't want to get sucked into that. I have my views, and I respect the views of others enough to let them express them openly.
I have received no PMs by the speaker of the national assembly. In fact, the only PMs that I get are for citizen requests for people that I have never interacted with (except for one congress member explaining his reasoning for a law proposal, and the occasional message from my party).
I think that it is sad that most of the politics in eSK are either ad-hominem attacks or people trying to force their will onto others, and I find this article to be particularly tasteless since it is making blanket accusations against a large number of congress members. I have proven them to be false against me, and I suspect that they are false against several others. What makes this more troubling to me is that the accuser is hiding behind the anonymity of an organization (which has no right to vote) to attack the personal credibility of congress members.

Athasnim has stepped down as Assembly speaker due to inactivity of the Congress.
Multi paranoia is rampant in eSK...the multi-hunting program is seriously the most active branch of government. I thought they put more effort into contacting members of congress, but from your story apparently not.
The accuser isn't doing a very good job of hiding by the way- it's Ranger Nietzsche.

The truth is out there.
since when is it "hiding"
Pretty sure anyone can read my comments in that article and see its me.
sometimes its just easier to keep things straight when im tabbing back and forth between several forums, ereplinks, admin contacts etc etc.
and if you want, i'll be happy to post an apology for people like SNSD. When you're combing through 40 peoples newspapers, bios, forum accounts, shouts, messages etc. you make mistakes.
Apparently it wasn't clear enough to some that it was your org, even though the donations list links the org to you.
If you're going to make accusations in the press, you should try to contact the individuals first. SNSD apparently hadn't heard from you or Athasnim, despite what you claimed. You also shouldn't have just lumped everyone together when they were quite varied in activity and age. Why sow bitterness and distrust when you could've cleared at least a few people on the list by simply sending a PM?
I haven't been contacted by Ranger or Athasnim either.
I'm active in the media and have a newspaper as well. I was on the old forum until it got deleted but the new forum won't accept me so I'm not there.
I started here in south korea as I am just a big fat Kim Yu-Na fan and thought I might find others here but mostly it's just been trolls and nasty people. There are so many personal attacks on people by members of the government, Ranger and Joseph Orair stand out as ones that do it often most. I think it sad that government always attacking citizens and not doing anything else.
SNSD Jessica has clearly spoken and I applaud her for it, as our Minister Ranger too.
To clear up some missunderstanding, the Assembly Speaker's job is not to be a baby sitter. I do not, in the normal course of things, chase after individual members each time a proposal comes up. They come together and communicate to me what we should be doing, and I express that coalescing of opinions into a single voice.
This worked during my 1st and 2nd term as Speaker, because we had majority of Assembly members who made their voices heard within the Assembly forum.
Regretably, this is not the case in this current term. That makes the job of the Assembly Speaker impossible to express the will of the Assembly.
>>I think it sad that government always attacking citizens and not doing anything else.
Your a member of the government, attacking citizens who are also members of the government, its not as if this is a mass "UBER CONSPIRACIEZ" here. It's just a coincidence that the two most outspoken people of the community worked their buts off to be in the positions they are now.
It's also just a coincidence that in the process they've turned into paranoid a**holes. No matter, they'll have completely lost their positions shortly after Japan pushes the button.
Scroll back through all your comments Yuna and you'll see why I frequently tear them apart, along with Elgrando/Kevlin.
When you start to see waves and waves of ridiculous spew coming out of the mouths of people like Luther World Bank up there and You and Elgrand, someone is bound to step in and call the BS you so delightly put forth.
When you finally grow up and stop accusing everyone of being a traitor or whatever your word of the day calendar teaches you then maybe we can start to have civil conversations. Until then, blah blah meow meow iofddjkl/;
