'''Older conversations have been archived. Please view the links on the right if you wish to review old threads.'''

The facts in my wikifur article are speculation, rumor and sometimes a patent character assassination, without facts or evidence. The one sided article reads like a police report, and can be summed up easily. The article is very TMI, as the obsessive GreyCoyote who tried to organize a bunch of furries to make sexual claims against me, as well as the wording of the article is designed to be degrading and belittling. I have done many good things in my life and plan on continuing to do it. I am 28 years old now and will soon be 29. I would like to be able to at some point in my life exit this fandom and move on with my life. Part of that would be asking you, Greenreaper to please reconsider your decision solely for the sake of ratings. I understand that my article gets a lot of views, and I think its great that you attempt to be unbiasd. However you must know that this reads as a "warning" for all the wrongdoings that I have done to the fandom in a way to "get back at me".

Many of the talking points are the same that were brought up by the "Kadiatcha Dancers" who harassed my family and me over the phone and email over a two year period many years ago. Would you really want to be associated with those kind of individuals? I dont believe that is what wikifur stands for, or what you stand for Greenreaper. Please, take the higher road here.

Of course the choice is yours.

== Overhaul ==

(*Frak!!!* First post bombed on first save $#@&%!,... Tl:dr version posted instead)
As it stands right now, the article is a bit of disarray. Doesn't quite read as a Wikifur article anymore and the timeline and references sections need updating/cleanup badly (a few of the reference links are dead and gone,)... Any ideas or suggestions?. May try a couple things to format it/tidied up better [[User:Spirou|Spirou]] 02:38, 9 July 2008 (UTC)

== Direction ==

Let's get a discussion here. What's the WikiFur community's plan? The main options on the spectrum are:

# Anything believed to be true.
# Anything that can be referenced
# Furry fandom-related information only
# Furry fandom-related information which is positive
# Exclusion

Which would be your preferred choice? Which one(s) would be acceptable? Do you have another idea that you think is preferable? --[[User:Rat|Rat]] 09:51, 29 July 2008 (UTC)

:#2, 3 and 4 (imho,)... On this subject, I'm uploading a page entitled [[Sibe II (temp)]]. I had it almost posted, put RL matters got on the way. TL:dr version, rebuilding the [[Sibe]] backwards, stripping it down to an article that may or not replace its current counterpart (Sysops only until basics have been laid down.)

== Typo ==

"Sibe has gained widespread infamy in the furry fandom through his uncivil demeanor towards other fandom members, and his illegal distribution of the copyrighted works of several furry artists through the early '''200s''', that has permanently cemented his current reputation with the fandom with this subsequent actions." Emphasis points it out. [[Special:Contributions/69.177.201.49|69.177.201.49]] 02:42, 17 September 2009 (UTC)
:Thanks. I fixed that and removed some verbose exposition at the same time. --[[User:GreenReaper|GreenReaper]]<sup>([[User talk:GreenReaper|talk]])</sup> 02:47, 17 September 2009 (UTC)

== Article Wiped by Sibe ==

This entire article was recently replaced with:<br>
"Sibe is no longer a furry. Please remove this article. Sibe is now 30 years old and has moved past this. "<br>
Any thoughts on whether this should be reverted, or allowed to be removed? In particular, do we know if he's shown any indication that he's changed from the past behavior that has been used in the past to justify declining requests for exclusion? Also are any of his past incidents notable enough that they should be covered as a matter of historical record (and which would make Wikifur appear to be incomplete/disingenuous if they aren't covered)? --[[User:Mwalimu|mwalimu]] 16:22, 19 August 2010 (UTC)

:Revert it. His personal feelings are no longer relevant; Sibe's actions affected many people in the fandom, and as such he became a significant part of the history of the fandom itself. Since Wikifur is an encyclopedia of the fandom, Sibe needs to have an informative article about himself.
:It's possible however that the full article could be edited. If it's true, as he claims, that he's no longer furry, then the introductory part should be put in the past tense. If he's worried about people finding out about his past actions, remove his real name. I think the rest of the article is worth keeping, since the sheer scope of everything combined is notable in itself. [[Special:Contributions/24.77.166.82|24.77.166.82]] 08:38, 25 August 2010 (UTC)

:Revert this article. Sibe is still a present figure in the Portland Oregon furry community. He even has a pounced ad[[Special:Contributions/98.246.116.86|98.246.116.86]] 04:40, 27 August 2010 (UTC)

== Slow Changes Over Time ==

:Sibe has been making very slow, minor changes to the article over time. This appears to be a strategy to avoid attracting attention, but his continued behavior within the community means that he is still a person of interest. As such, any information regarding any alias, and especially images of his real-life visage, are an important public record. If necessary, his mugshot can also be added to the article.

Jongleur: Undo revision 304238 by Sibe (Talk)

[[Image:Sibe friend.JPG|right|thumb|325px|Sibe (left) and friend]]
'''Sibe''', also known as '''EvilSibe''', or '''Sibe Roo''' on [[FurNation Worlds]] (real name: '''Ross Herbert Reddick''') is a member of the [[furry]] community who has participated in various [[Newsgroup|newsgroups]], [[Image board|image boards]], and [[Multiplayer worlds|multiplayer worlds]].

He is a moderator at [[Lulz.net]], while his chosen avatar is a [[Siberian Husky]], the [[dog]] breed from which he derived his name.

== Controversy ==

==== Trolling, wares and bans ====

Sibe gained widespread infamy in the [[furry fandom]] through his uncivil demeanor towards other fandom members, and his illegal distribution of the copyrighted works of several [[:Category:Artists|furry artists]] through the early 2000s. He has been been banned by [[Further Confusion]] and [[All Fur Fun]]. This apparently did not prevent him from continuing to attend, and allegedly, "cause more problems"<ref>http://www.furtherconfusion.org/forums/msg.php?th=482</ref> for Further Confusion and other conventions. He was present with the knowledge of con staff at [[Conifur Northwest 2004]].

Sibe has also been [[Toading|toaded]] from [[Tapestries MUCK]] on numerous occasions, initially due to harassment and advertisement of his pirated CDs, later compounded by organizing a [[Wikipedia:Distributed Denial of Service|DDoS]] on the MUCK server. According to [[WhiteWizard]], "Nobody comes close to Sibe [on toading]. Sibe is how we find out about all the new free-mail sites."<ref>http://www.fur.com/tapestries/forum/index.php?t=msg&goto=7150&rid=&S=032610e07d6e92af23206b06dc0f9525</ref>

==== Trolling ====

*'''8 September 1998''': Sibe makes his first post onto the [[alt.lifestyle.furry]] newsgroup. The posting was about the first [[Conifur]] that occurred at the SeaTac Clarion Hotel in SeaTac, Washington. Claims were made in regards to Sibe's perceived discrimination against him for not wearing enough furry related things at Conifur. The truthfulness of the postings is in dispute.
*'''19 January 1999''': Sibe makes his first post in [[alt.fan.furry]], again critical of the furry fandom for his treatment and launching attacks on furry lifestylers.
*'''3 October 2001''': [[Killen]] alleges that Sibe's disagreements with him resulted in the flooding of [[northUKfurs (IRC)|#northUKfurs]] on [[Yiffnet]] by Sibe's associates. Sibe has stated that although he has attacked other IRC channels in the past, he did not attack this one. Some instances of IRC downtime have been misattributed to Sibe in the past, for example an attack on #dragonyiff on [[FurNet (IRC)|FurNet]] that was led by [[Something Awful]] [[goon]]s.
*'''16 June 2005''': Sibe was [http://www.ljdrama.org/index.php?p=1155 featured] on ljdrama.org for "[[Sibeing]]" Munchie the kitsune after he traveled cross country to find what he thought was an older woman, who turned out to be a 14 year old boy. Sibe made a prank call with all of the parties involved.<ref>[http://www.ljdrama.org/index.php?p=1155 LJ post regarding Sibe and Munchie]</ref><ref>[http://www.squnq.com/junk/munchies_problem.mp3 [[Wikipedia:MP3|MP3]] of the conversation between Sibe and Munchie]</ref>

==== Bans ====

*'''13 September 2004''': Sibe (as EvilSibe and any other identity he will ever create for the purpose) is permanently banned from the [[Something Awful]] Forums. His ban was due to his sarcastic comments to [[Richard "Lowtax" Kyanka|LowTax]] (The Something Awful SysAdmin) during the [[Brian Sek]] and [[The Kadaitcha Dancers]] "I'm being stalked by furries" thread.
*'''18 July 2005''': Sibe (as ''evilsibe'') was suspended from LiveJournal.com for posting an image from the website thepiratebay.org which linked to the ''"fxc" encyclopedia 2004'', a [[Wikipedia:Bittorrent|torrent]] that had 9.55 gigs of [[furry art]] in it, including the works of [[Ken Sample]], [[Karabiner]], [[Grimal]], [[FoxxFire]] and many more. When he created a new journal to circumvent the suspension, he was permanently banned. He later moved to GreatestJournal.com, where his tag-line was ''sibeing the fandom one wag at a time''.
*'''28 May 2007''': Sibe is permanently banned from the [[Fur Affinity]]'s forums.<ref>[http://www.greatestjournal.com/users/evilsibe/113080.html Sibe talks about his FurAffinity ban on his Greatest Journal]</ref><ref>[http://lulz.net/furi/res/53642.html Sibe talks about his FurAffinity ban on his [[Lulz.net]]]</ref>
*'''17 August 2007''': Sibe reports that he is banned from [[FurJAM]] 2007 - possibly due to his promotion of a pirated copy of ''[[Softpaw Magazine|Softpaw]]'' #2 - despite having no intention to go to Australia for the event.<ref>''[http://www.greatestjournal.com/users/evilsibe/131616.html Banned from a con in australia]'' - Sibe (17 August 2007)</ref> This ban turned out to be fake, the e-mail being a doctored version of one the organisers of FurJAM sent to Australian fur [[Timon b]]. Who forwarded the mail to Sibe, and at what point Sibe's name appeared on it, are unclear, but Sibe's publicising of it had the effect of flooding the FurJAM forums and polls. The number of votes in the polls went from fifteen to over 100 in a period of 2 days, and as such sections of the site were closed.{{fact}}
*'''26 June 2008''': Sibe is placed on the "Omega" list at Anthrocon, effectively banning him from registering from the con. Sibe is now on a revolving ban with the two largest conventions in the country Further Confusion in California and Anthrocon in PA.{{fact}}
*'''9 May 2009''': Sibe is banned from [[All Fur Fun]] in Spokane, Washington. The reason for this ban appears to be due to him mistaking [[Lupercus]] as head of security for All Fur Fun for someone else he has had issues with in the past, and then defaming the head of security as that other person. This was done without apparent verification of the true identity of the head of security for the con. These events occurred after Tora Kiyoshi, one of the convention co-chairs, convinced other members of the AFF staff to let him attend. <ref>http://74.125.155.132/search?q=cache:o40mtOnyP4UJ:lulz.net/furi/res/570324.html+http://lulz.net/furi/res/570324.html</ref> <ref>http://forums.vivisector.org/index.php/topic,200.0.html</ref>

==== Warez ====

*'''9 November 2001''': [[Nexxus]] temporarily closed [[FurNation]], [http://www.flayrah.com/modules.php?op=modload&name=News&file=article&sid=490 allegedly] as the result of Sibe's pirating actions (which may have been based on FurNation archives). These were centered around [[yiffnetbeats (IRC)|#yiffnetbeats]] on [[Yiffnet]], where Sibe and others offered files for download. The channel was initially designed to be a furry theme MP3 sharing channel. Ironically, Nexxus' post about the channel caused a spike in traffic, with over 50 users in one night and 5GB distributed in 8 hours by one serving user.
*'''9 November 2003''': One of [fxc]'s (Furries Exchanging Comics), the furry [[wikipedia:Warez|warez]] group that Sibe founded, had a home at irc.rizon.net #furryxdcc. Shortly after this date they released their first releases, including ''[[Furnation Magazine]]'' 1-4 , [[Fred Perry]]'s folios and [[Max The Black Rabbit]]'s ''Canine Portfolio''. The group proclaimed that they were the premier group for scanning in commercial furry content. At one point there was a furry [[Wikipedia:BitTorrent|BitTorrent]] tracker up at www.f-x-c.net, which saw 3,000 individuals sign up world wide to download packs of scanned furry comics, retail art CD's and portfolios of the top [[furry artist|artists]] in the fandom.
[[Image:WhiteWolfSibeBadgeforweb.jpg|right|thumb|Sibe, by [[WhiteWolf]]]]
*'''30 August 2004''': [[Rabbit Valley|Rabco Publishing (Rabbit Valley)]] files a claim against Sibe in Waltham, MA small claims court for $2,000 in damages for replication and distribution of copyrighted material. These damages are awarded on '''14 December 2004''', and the defendant is ordered to pay a total of $2,109.70 including legal fees and interest.
*'''24 January 2005''': A warrant is issued for Sibe's arrest by the trial court of Waltham, Massachusetts for failure to appear to the payment hearing from his default judgment against him by Rabbit Valley Publishing.

==== Other (furry) ====

*'''18 March 2002''': After disagreements and a fight, Sibe forcibly took the car of a person named Brian Floyd (unaffiliated with the [[furry fandom]]) with whom he was staying, and made Brian give him access to his (Brian's) PIN number. According to the order of protection filed against Sibe to keep him away after his acts of violence against him, he then threatened Brian that he would make him disappear if he called the cops.

After Sibe left, Brian called 911. Having taken $500 from the account, Sibe went to downtown [[Wikipedia:Portland, Oregon|Portland]] to spend the cash at a gay night club and dance bar called the ''[http://www.silveradopdx.com/ Silverado]''. After spending the money at the bar, he drove to [[Wikipedia:Camas, Washington|Camas, Washington]] with one of the dancers from the bar.

At approximately 7 a.m. he was arrested for the theft of the automobile (among other charges). He spent a week in jail, was bailed out, then re-arrested when he appeared in court in Oregon. He later pleaded no contest to the Class C felony of coercion in exchange for his 5 other charges (including the 2001 shotgun arrest) getting dismissed and was sentenced to 36 months probation with credit for time served (45 days in Multnomah County Jail).

*'''9/10 September 2005''': "EvilSibe," with the opening paragraph ''"As of right now the Bellevue Police department is outside of my house serving a search warrant on my home, I cannot go anywhere and at any moment I could be arrested,'' announces the possibility of his possible imminent "arrest."

In the post, he suggests that Rabco Publishing is behind this development, takes some jabs at [[Nexxus]], and ends it by professing his love for his family, and thanks his friends for being there for him. His friends reactions is mixed, with a few believing its a prank, to those who believe it truly happening, and what can they do to help.

Its this last reaction that forces Sibe to admit that the whole thing was ''"a gag and Im allright."'' Again, reaction to this admission is mixed: from the "I knew it, Lol!," to the "How dare you deceive your friends that care for you!." For the last ones, Sibe had a simple response: ''"Fuck em if they cant take a joke then."''

*'''13 January 2006''': Sibe was verbally served with a [[Wikipedia:Restraining order|restraining order]] through [[AAE]], the parent non-profit corporation of Further Confusion, which effectively made all grounds of the Hotel hosting FC 2006 off limits to Sibe, under penalty of immediate arrest. The timing of the restraining order (starting on the 20th) was such that he was not able to contest it until 2 February 2006, well after the convention was over. The result was that he did not attend the convention, despite suggestions from others that he was present, and in contrast to previous years (in which Sibe had been banned, but still attended).
[[Image:Darknatashasibebadgelowres5km.jpg|right|thumb|Sibe, by [[Dark Natasha]]]]

*'''07 July 2008''': Sibe announced that he is going to file charges against "[[WikiFur|Wikifur]]" and [[GreenReaper]] for violating breach of privacy laws and refusing to remove fraudulent defamatory and damaging remarks about him.<ref>Paragraph entered by article user (Sibe) himself</ref>

The channel was initially designed to be a furry theme MP3 sharing channel. Ironically, Nexxus' post about the channel caused a spike in traffic, with over 50 users in one night and 5GB distributed in 8 hours by one serving user.
*'''9 November 2003''': One of [fxc]'s (Furries Exchanging Comics), the furry [[wikipedia:Warez|warez]] group that Sibe founded, had a home at irc.rizon.net #furryxdcc. Shortly after this date they released their first releases, including ''[[Furnation Magazine]]'' 1-4 , [[Fred Perry]]'s folios and [[Max The Black Rabbit]]'s ''Canine Portfolio''. The group proclaimed that they were the premier group for scanning in commercial furry content. At one point there was a furry [[Wikipedia:BitTorrent|BitTorrent]] tracker up at www.f-x-c.net, which saw 3,000 individuals sign up world wide to download packs of scanned furry comics, retail art CD's and portfolios of the top [[furry artist|artists]] in the fandom.
*'''30 August 2004''': [[Rabbit Valley|Rabco Publishing (Rabbit Valley)]] files a claim against Sibe in Waltham, MA small claims court for $2,000 in damages for replication and distribution of copyrighted material. These damages are awarded on '''14 December 2004''', and the defendant is ordered to pay a total of $2,109.70 including legal fees and interest.
*'''24 January 2005''': A warrant is issued for Sibe's arrest by the trial court of Waltham, Massachusetts for failure to appear to the payment hearing from his default judgment against him by Rabbit Valley Publishing.

*'''18 March 2002''': After disagreements and a fight, Sibe forcibly took the car of a person named Brian Floyd (unaffiliated with the [[furry fandom]]) with whom he was staying, and made Brian give him access to his (Brian's) PIN number. According to the order of protection filed against Sibe to keep him away after his acts of violence against him, he then threatened Brian that he would make him disappear if he called the cops.

After Sibe left, Brian called 911. Having taken $500 from the account, Sibe went to downtown [[Wikipedia:Portland, Oregon|Portland]] to spend the cash at a gay night club and dance bar called the ''[http://www.silveradopdx.com/ Silverado]''. After spending the money at the bar, he drove to [[Wikipedia:Camas, Washington|Camas, Washington]] with one of the dancers from the bar.

At approximately 7 a.m. he was arrested for the theft of the automobile (among other charges). He spent a week in jail, was bailed out, then re-arrested when he appeared in court in Oregon. He later pleaded no contest to the Class C felony of coercion in exchange for his 5 other charges (including the 2001 shotgun arrest) getting dismissed and was sentenced to 36 months probation with credit for time served (45 days in Multnomah County Jail).

*'''9/10 September 2005''': "EvilSibe," with the opening paragraph ''"As of right now the Bellevue Police department is outside of my house serving a search warrant on my home, I cannot go anywhere and at any moment I could be arrested,'' announces the possibility of his possible imminent "arrest."

In the post, he suggests that Rabco Publishing is behind this development, takes some jabs at [[Nexxus]], and ends it by professing his love for his family, and thanks his friends for being there for him. His friends reactions is mixed, with a few believing its a prank, to those who believe it truly happening, and what can they do to help.

Its this last reaction that forces Sibe to admit that the whole thing was ''"a gag and Im allright."'' Again, reaction to this admission is mixed: from the "I knew it, Lol!," to the "How dare you deceive your friends that care for you!." For the last ones, Sibe had a simple response: ''"Fuck em if they cant take a joke then."''

*'''13 January 2006''': Sibe was verbally served with a [[Wikipedia:Restraining order|restraining order]] through [[AAE]], the parent non-profit corporation of Further Confusion, which effectively made all grounds of the Hotel hosting FC 2006 off limits to Sibe, under penalty of immediate arrest. The timing of the restraining order (starting on the 20th) was such that he was not able to contest it until 2 February 2006, well after the convention was over. The result was that he did not attend the convention, despite suggestions from others that he was present, and in contrast to previous years (in which Sibe had been banned, but still attended).

*'''07 July 2008''': Sibe announced that he is going to file charges against "[[WikiFur|Wikifur]]" and [[GreenReaper]] for violating breach of privacy laws and refusing to remove fraudulent defamatory and damaging remarks about him.<ref>Paragraph entered by article user (Sibe) himself</ref>
