The Great Witch Hunt of 2022
About The Hunt
On the night of Friday, April 22, 2022, during routine maintenance, the cringe detectors onboard HMAS Deer Poiple went into overdrive. It seemed someone had forgotten to replace the batteries for a while. Klaxons blared, warning lights flashed.
The noise was deafening.
The Tipping Point
A Facebook page which contravened all sense of morals and ethics was called out, and then mysteriously disappeared moments later, leading the admin team to conclude that the party responsible for its creation, was most likely present, or relaying information to them.
Prime Suspects
Investigations pointed strongly towards Captain Cringe and/or Karen of Canberra as the perpetrators/instigators.
A long and drawn out history of attempted interaction and obsession with the target of the page was questioned, an excellent opportunity for reflection and accountability, which was instead met with blame shifting, whataboutism and provably false claims of total innocence in any of the matters at hand. Aside from the page in question, alternate accounts were denied, documented interactions between those accounts and the target were denied, past behaviours were minimised or denied altogether, leaving any sense of credibility or opportunity for rational discussion at the door.
Whether or not they were responsible for the creation of the page would ultimately prove to be a moot point, as it was merely the catalyst for a long overdue discussion about their place in the community.
The Fallout
The ban hammer was eventually raised and fell upon the heads of Cringe and Karen, the self proclaimed "Power Couple" of Canberran truth and justice. Dissent was raised by a small, yet very vocal minority, upon whos heads the ban hammer would also ultimately fall, after an hour or so of circular logic and nonsense, made clear that there would be no rational discussion with them either.
The Aftermath
As the bans upon the pair were permanent, but the bans upon their supporters temporary, some would return, to whine ad nauseum about the situation. Eventually, they would be removed, after the deep state mole over in the Cringe/Karen Discord sent over some screenshots during the great unhinged Karen tweet fiesta of April 26-28 - showing them funnelling info across to fuel the tweets, along with both the doxxing of one of the admins, and an ongoing attempted doxxing operation against another with whom they had taken umbrage for pointing out simple basic facts.
Very moral, much ethics.
The End
Over at HMAS Deer Poiple, there was some consternation regarding the decision to remove the pair. Most of this centered around "evidence" of the wrongdoings. It should be noted, that staff onboard that ship have no obligation to provide anyone present an explanation, and are free to run their ship how they see fit.
Onlookers were rightly confused, because the situation was not handled cleanly. Assumptions were made that the removal of the pair was solely due to the Facebook page, but that just isn't the case.
Aside from questions regarding the page, Captain Cringe was asked directly, whether he had ever used the alt accounts "Terry Wrist", "Dale Denton", or "Duane Dibbley", and whether or not he had communicated with Mark Strauss, his wife Kim Strauss, or Amanda Sheedy, using any of those alt accounts. These questions led to strenuous denials.
What follows, are screenshots from various social medias, showing that those strenuous denials, were entirely false.
We draw lines, and some of those lines include messing with peoples family and doxxing.
