== Welcome to [[WikiFur:Administrators]]! ==

I thought you might want to do the next move requiring deletion yourself. You might find the extra tabs help with those pesky vandals, too. Check the link above for further information - and welcome aboard! --[[User:GreenReaper|GreenReaper]]([[User talk:GreenReaper|talk]]) 22:18, 10 June 2008 (UTC)

Welcome to the Administrators list, Tori! I think your inclusion is a very good choice by GreenReaper - I'm sure everyone here has noticed for some time the effort you've been putting into the wiki. (Though if you're spending more time I guess we'll '''never''' see another episode of "Furry Guru". Meh. ;P ) --[[User:Higgs Raccoon|Higgs Raccoon]] 22:28, 10 June 2008 (UTC)

I promised you a picture for cleaning up my tiny stub of an article... and yeah. It's totally creepy :3 [http://sapincher.com/images/forrobomilk.jpg Image]--[[Special:Contributions/74.131.51.129|Sapincher]] 23:04, 12 July 2008 (UTC)

== Please Remove Sibe Page ==

I feel that this article, unlike any others on this site is extremely mean spirited and personal.

I would request that my page be protected and excluded. Thank you.

== Please Remove Articuno Page ==

I'd like the page about me to be excluded, thanks.
--[[User:Articuno|Articuno]] 09:36, 30 December 2008 (UTC)
: The article has been excluded. The page still exists, however is now empty and uneditable; this is to prevent people from recreating the article. {{:User:Robomilk/sig}} 15:54, 30 December 2008 (UTC)

== Regarding 68.7.4.87 ==

Hiya! I noticed that you blocked 68.7.4.87 and left a Don't Vandalize message on their talk page, in response to their edit to the ED page. However, if you look at the history for that page, they're not the one who vandalized it, they were trying to revert the vandalism of the anonymous user before them (74.53.26.178). They only caught one of the instances of the malicious edit, but the one they removed was the first one added by 74.53.26.178 (the rest were in a separate edit), so I figured that person didn't see the others.

Just thought I'd bring this to your attention; I'm not sure that 68.7.4.87 deserves a week-long block and a Don't Vandalize message. --[[User:Softpaw|Natasha Softpaw]] 22:04, 18 January 2009 (UTC)
: So he did, apologies! I guess I was influenced by your edit summary (''Reverting all anonymous edits'') and didn't pay too much attention when bagging and tagging the folks. Been unblocked and the DV removed now. {{:User:Robomilk/sig}} 06:47, 19 January 2009 (UTC)

::Ahh, sorry about that. It was easier to just overwrite the article with a previous version than to go through and fix each instance of vandalism (the ones that this anonymous user missed), and I wasn't really sure what to call that. --[[User:Softpaw|Natasha Softpaw]] 06:56, 19 January 2009 (UTC)

==Unexclusion==

Hi there,

In answer to your message, yes, my name does come from the supermachine seen in the ''[[wikipedia:Thunderbirds (TV series)|Thunderbirds]]'' episode ''Path of Destruction''. I first used it on my [[Wikipedia]] account when I came over here, as I hadn't created a fursona at that point, although I do now have a fursona, which is [[Mac O'Damia]] if you're curious. --[[User:Crablogger|Crablogger]] 05:08, 15 August 2009 (UTC)

As it's impossible to leave Spirou a message on his Talk page, and requests for review are being ignored on the article's talk pages, I'll once again point out the [[Forum:Popping_%28Under_revision%29 | draft page]] is now ready for review. —[[User:Xydexx|Xydexx]] 14:54, 21 September 2009 (UTC)

== Request For Review ==
Once again, the [[Popping]] [[Forum:Popping_%28Under_revision%29 | draft page]] is ready for review. In the continued interest of not wasting everyone's time, it'd be really peachy if one of the Admins could finally resolve this long-neglected issue no later than October 24 2009, 11:59 PM EDT —[[User:Xydexx|Xydexx]] 19:35, 17 October 2009 (UTC)

== Please exclude my page ==
Please remove http://en.wikifur.com/wiki/Onta
The user http://en.wikifur.com/wiki/User:Sniffindahouse intends to use it as a way to extend his little grudge match with me and openly attacks me on his FA (http://www.furaffinity.net/user/SniffHeinkel/)

I have no intention of seeing this wiki be used the same way ED is used thanks. {{unsignedIP|67.204.8.172}}

== Exclusion ==

Please exclude/remove my WikiFur page, [[Kubur]], I have already blanket it and wish it to be removed entirely as I feel I have no need or necessity to have one. In all honestly, it was a mistake. Thanks for reading.

== JaxHusky ==

We currently have a topic open on JaxHusky on the [[WikiFur:Noticeboard]]. Please feel free to add your opinions and observations. --[[User:Mwalimu|mwalimu]] 04:30, 1 December 2010 (UTC)

== RBW 2011 ==

Hiya...

Quick question re the removal of RBW 2011 from the 'upcoming events' template - the boat party is still going ahead, not the con - does the template only include conventions ? [[User:Bezel|Bezel]] 10:54, 2 February 2011 (UTC)
: In retrospect, it's probably best to leave it on. Sorry, I was just quickly running through the edits and didn't think it through. {{:User:AlexanderGrey/sig}} 10:57, 2 February 2011 (UTC)

'''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 that of a [[Siberian Husky]], the [[dog]] breed from which he derived his name.

== Controversy ==

==== Trolling and wares ====

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 [[:Category:Artists|furry artists]] from 2001 through 2006, that has permanently cemented his current reputation with the fandom with this subsequent actions.

==== Bans ====

He also has the dubious unique honor of having been banned by at a major and some minor [[convention]]s - [[Further Confusion]]. 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]] 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>

The comic ''[[West Corner Of the Park (comic)|West Corner of the Park]]'' has depicted Sibe as a giant slug,<ref>http://www.graphxpress.com/cgi-bin/wcotp.cgi?date=20060319</ref><ref>http://www.graphxpress.com/cgi-bin/wcotp.cgi?date=20011110</ref><ref>http://www.graphxpress.com/cgi-bin/wcotp.cgi?date=20020107</ref> although this includes an element of artistic license.

==== Timeline ====

[[Image:Sibe.jpg|right|thumb|Sibe: "Big snugly husky dog that luvs everyone. <3"]]
*'''9 December 1995''': Sibe arrested for Domestic Violence Assault in the Fourth Degree against his father. He was sentenced to three months probation, 16 hours community service (time served), and lost his right to possess firearms in Washington State. Terms of his probation include not engaging in unwanted physical contact with family members and others, typical conditions for a juvenile convicted of Assault in the Fourth Degree.
*'''6 March 1996''': Sibe is again arrested for DV-Assault 4 against his father. The hearing was delayed due to him being checked into a psychiatric institution in the state of Idaho. It is currently unknown how long he was in the institution. A warrant was issued for his arrest for failure to appear and was valid for almost 18 months until he filed for quashing the warrant on his 18th birthday for the juvenile court's lack of jurisdiction. The King County Prosecutor's office declined to prosecute him in adult court for that incident and the case was dismissed.
*'''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.
*'''6 March 2001''': He is arrested for violating ORS (short for Oregon Revised Statute) 166.370, possession of a loaded firearm in a public building, specifically Herald College in Portland, OR. He possessed a shotgun on the grounds of an educational institution in his duffel bag, which is illegal unless you fall into one of the exceptions in the statute. He is given pre-trial intervention/diversion, and later the charges were dismissed.
[[Image:PafSibeBadge.jpg|right|thumb|Sibe, by [[Chris Goodwin]]]]
*'''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.
*'''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.
*'''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).
*'''May 2002''': A warrant is issued for the arrest of Sibe for failure to appear in court in Issaquah, Washington in regards to his reckless driving charge. This was not taken care of until September 2004.
*'''3 May 2002''': A hearing is held in regards to possible release. His attorney identifies Sibe as having significant psychiatric problems, including being diagnosed as having bipolar disorder by two different psychiatrists in his youth. Disciplinary problems include: Fighting, flooding his cell with water causing $1500 worth of damage, failing to follow directions of jail deputies. As a result of his disciplinary problems, he was put under lock-down. Judge Beckman orders the jail to allow a psychiatrist into the jail for his psychiatric care.
*'''5 December 2002''': Sibe is sentenced to 36 months of probation plus time served, and is ordered to obey all laws, restricted internet usage, and to not use drugs, among other provisions.
*'''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.
*'''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.
*'''November 2004''': Sibe moves to Bellevue, Washington from Portland, Oregon and did not notify his probation judge.
*'''6 December 2004''': Sibe is sentenced to 1 year of probation by the King County District Court for his reckless driving case from 2001.
*'''28 December 2004''': After being unable to find Sibe's current address due to lack of notification of his move to Washington State in late November 2004, and failing to appear to a probation hearing due to a report of illegal activities by the [[Wikipedia:Federal Bureau of Investigation|FBI]], Judge Douglas Beckman of the Multnomah County Circuit Court issues a warrant for Sibe's arrest with no bail allowed. The warrant was not extraditable outside of Oregon.
*'''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.
*'''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>
*'''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''.
*'''September 2005''': Sibe moves back to Portland, Oregon from Bellevue, Washington. He does not notify his probation judge in Washington of his new address in Oregon. In this month his Oregon warrant was also updated to extraditable from Washington, Idaho, and Western Montana as part of a change in policy in regards dealing with felony offenses against persons in Oregon, due to the ability of criminals previous to this to run to Washington and evade capture.
*'''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]]]]
*'''5 February 2006''': Sibe was booked into Multnomah County (Oregon) Justice Center by officers of the [http://www.portlandonline.com/police/?&c=29708 Portland Police Bureau] for the warrant issued on 28 December 2004. As he now had a fixed address (Multnomah County Justice Center), he was process-served for various lawsuits and orders of protection. Despite speculation on various sites that the "DV-Coercion" notation in the booking log indicated that he committed a new domestic violence offense, particularly against his mate Bound Wolf, the real reason why Multnomah County Sheriff's noted the DV-Coercion in his booking file was due to the charge that he was convicted of in 2002 in exchange for his plea of no contest. This is standard in the booking process to note the convictions of a person who is serving jail time for a probation violation. It was not a new charge.
*'''14 February 2006''': Sibe's Greatest Journal was deleted, though not by Sibe since he was still in custody at the time. It was not suspended by Greatest Journal.
*'''17 February 2006''': A hearing for violation of probation is convened at 9:30AM at Multnomah County Circuit Courthouse. Judge Douglas Beckman presiding. Sibe stipulates to evading the warrant for his arrest and continued to abscond, use of internet outside of Judge Beckman's authorization, and stipulation to the use of marijuana, as well as traffic violations. Judge Beckman, during the defense attorney's statements about Sibe's accomplishments of having a job for nearly a year. His computer is ordered seized and turned over to the Federal Bureau of Investigation for forensic examination. The hearing is held over until 7 March 2006 for hearing. Sibe offers up a Compaq laptop as his personal computer.
*'''7 March 2006''': Due to Sibe's misrepresenting to the court that his Compaq laptop was his only personal computer (the FBI forensics examiners determined that the computer was a "brick," "ancient", and had only been used three times since 2003 for dial up usage), along with the stipulations to his violations of probation, he receives a 6 month jail sentence for the probation violations, plus 3 years' parole. His 30 days held at the Multnomah County (Oregon) Justice Center thus far does not count as time served toward this sentence due primarily to his misrepresentation to the court.
*'''23 March 2006''': An email is sent from [http://www.vinelink.com VINElink] victim notification services that he was released from Oregon Department of Corrections. However, he is still in Multnomah County Jail until 3 September 2006 according to Multnomah County Jail Custody Records, and his other entries into VINElink indicate that he is still in the custody of Multnomah County Jail. A search through [http://www.inmatereleases.org/ Multnomah County Jail Inmate Early Releases Database] indicates that he has not been released, either.
*'''1 September 2006''': Sibe is released from jail and put under the supervision of the Oregon Department of Corrections for a period of 3 years. The slightly early release is due to the calculated release date not being on a government business day.
*'''12 May 2007''': Sibe announces that a warrant for his arrest has been issued, as he has avoided seeing his probation officer due to continued failures to pass a [[Wikipedia:urinalysis|urinalysis]] since the prior September.<ref>''[http://www.greatestjournal.com/users/evilsibe/112095.html Warrant for my arrest], Sibe (12 May 2007)</ref> He suggests that he is likely to do "a little time in county", and offers to post his address so people can write to him in jail. He is listed as an absconder from community supervision on VINElink.<ref name="VINElink">[http://www.vinelink.com/ VINElink offender detail] (search Oregon for Ross Reddick), accessed 19 August 2007</ref>
*'''28 May 2007''': Sibe is permanently banned from the [[FurAffinity]]'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.{cite}
*'''18 August 2007''': Sibe is taken into custody under the previous warrant, and enters the [http://www.norcor.co.wasco.or.us/ Northern Oregon Regional Correctional Facilities] (NORCOR).<ref name="VINElink" />

*'''?? August 2007''': Sibe is released again from jail into the general population. He resumes his duties as a Lulz.net moderator.
*'''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.

Evil Sibe

Sibe: Lawsuit tiem

[[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 that of a [[Siberian Husky]], the [[dog]] breed from which he derived his name.

== Controversy ==

==== Trolling and wares ====

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 [[:Category:Artists|furry artists]] from 2001 through 2006, that has permanently cemented his current reputation with the fandom with this subsequent actions.

==== Bans ====

He also has the dubious unique honor of having been banned by at a major and some minor [[convention]]s - [[Further Confusion]]. 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]] 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>

The comic ''[[West Corner Of the Park (comic)|West Corner of the Park]]'' has depicted Sibe as a giant slug,<ref>http://www.graphxpress.com/cgi-bin/wcotp.cgi?date=20060319</ref><ref>http://www.graphxpress.com/cgi-bin/wcotp.cgi?date=20011110</ref><ref>http://www.graphxpress.com/cgi-bin/wcotp.cgi?date=20020107</ref> although this includes an element of artistic license.

==== Timeline ====

[[Image:Sibe.jpg|right|thumb|Sibe: "Big snugly husky dog that luvs everyone. <3"]]
*'''9 December 1995''': Sibe arrested for Domestic Violence Assault in the Fourth Degree against his father. He was sentenced to three months probation, 16 hours community service (time served), and lost his right to possess firearms in Washington State. Terms of his probation include not engaging in unwanted physical contact with family members and others, typical conditions for a juvenile convicted of Assault in the Fourth Degree.
*'''6 March 1996''': Sibe is again arrested for DV-Assault 4 against his father. The hearing was delayed due to him being checked into a psychiatric institution in the state of Idaho. It is currently unknown how long he was in the institution. A warrant was issued for his arrest for failure to appear and was valid for almost 18 months until he filed for quashing the warrant on his 18th birthday for the juvenile court's lack of jurisdiction. The King County Prosecutor's office declined to prosecute him in adult court for that incident and the case was dismissed.
*'''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.
*'''6 March 2001''': He is arrested for violating ORS (short for Oregon Revised Statute) 166.370, possession of a loaded firearm in a public building, specifically Herald College in Portland, OR. He possessed a shotgun on the grounds of an educational institution in his duffel bag, which is illegal unless you fall into one of the exceptions in the statute. He is given pre-trial intervention/diversion, and later the charges were dismissed.
[[Image:PafSibeBadge.jpg|right|thumb|Sibe, by [[Chris Goodwin]]]]
*'''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.
*'''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.
*'''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).
*'''May 2002''': A warrant is issued for the arrest of Sibe for failure to appear in court in Issaquah, Washington in regards to his reckless driving charge. This was not taken care of until September 2004.
*'''3 May 2002''': A hearing is held in regards to possible release. His attorney identifies Sibe as having significant psychiatric problems, including being diagnosed as having bipolar disorder by two different psychiatrists in his youth. Disciplinary problems include: Fighting, flooding his cell with water causing $1500 worth of damage, failing to follow directions of jail deputies. As a result of his disciplinary problems, he was put under lock-down. Judge Beckman orders the jail to allow a psychiatrist into the jail for his psychiatric care.
*'''5 December 2002''': Sibe is sentenced to 36 months of probation plus time served, and is ordered to obey all laws, restricted internet usage, and to not use drugs, among other provisions.
*'''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.
*'''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.
*'''November 2004''': Sibe moves to Bellevue, Washington from Portland, Oregon and did not notify his probation judge.
*'''6 December 2004''': Sibe is sentenced to 1 year of probation by the King County District Court for his reckless driving case from 2001.
*'''28 December 2004''': After being unable to find Sibe's current address due to lack of notification of his move to Washington State in late November 2004, and failing to appear to a probation hearing due to a report of illegal activities by the [[Wikipedia:Federal Bureau of Investigation|FBI]], Judge Douglas Beckman of the Multnomah County Circuit Court issues a warrant for Sibe's arrest with no bail allowed. The warrant was not extraditable outside of Oregon.
*'''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.
*'''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>
*'''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''.
*'''September 2005''': Sibe moves back to Portland, Oregon from Bellevue, Washington. He does not notify his probation judge in Washington of his new address in Oregon. In this month his Oregon warrant was also updated to extraditable from Washington, Idaho, and Western Montana as part of a change in policy in regards dealing with felony offenses against persons in Oregon, due to the ability of criminals previous to this to run to Washington and evade capture.
*'''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]]]]
*'''5 February 2006''': Sibe was booked into Multnomah County (Oregon) Justice Center by officers of the [http://www.portlandonline.com/police/?&c=29708 Portland Police Bureau] for the warrant issued on 28 December 2004. As he now had a fixed address (Multnomah County Justice Center), he was process-served for various lawsuits and orders of protection. Despite speculation on various sites that the "DV-Coercion" notation in the booking log indicated that he committed a new domestic violence offense, particularly against his mate Bound Wolf, the real reason why Multnomah County Sheriff's noted the DV-Coercion in his booking file was due to the charge that he was convicted of in 2002 in exchange for his plea of no contest. This is standard in the booking process to note the convictions of a person who is serving jail time for a probation violation. It was not a new charge.
*'''14 February 2006''': Sibe's Greatest Journal was deleted, though not by Sibe since he was still in custody at the time. It was not suspended by Greatest Journal.
*'''17 February 2006''': A hearing for violation of probation is convened at 9:30AM at Multnomah County Circuit Courthouse. Judge Douglas Beckman presiding. Sibe stipulates to evading the warrant for his arrest and continued to abscond, use of internet outside of Judge Beckman's authorization, and stipulation to the use of marijuana, as well as traffic violations. Judge Beckman, during the defense attorney's statements about Sibe's accomplishments of having a job for nearly a year. His computer is ordered seized and turned over to the Federal Bureau of Investigation for forensic examination. The hearing is held over until 7 March 2006 for hearing. Sibe offers up a Compaq laptop as his personal computer.
*'''7 March 2006''': Due to Sibe's misrepresenting to the court that his Compaq laptop was his only personal computer (the FBI forensics examiners determined that the computer was a "brick," "ancient", and had only been used three times since 2003 for dial up usage), along with the stipulations to his violations of probation, he receives a 6 month jail sentence for the probation violations, plus 3 years' parole. His 30 days held at the Multnomah County (Oregon) Justice Center thus far does not count as time served toward this sentence due primarily to his misrepresentation to the court.
*'''23 March 2006''': An email is sent from [http://www.vinelink.com VINElink] victim notification services that he was released from Oregon Department of Corrections. However, he is still in Multnomah County Jail until 3 September 2006 according to Multnomah County Jail Custody Records, and his other entries into VINElink indicate that he is still in the custody of Multnomah County Jail. A search through [http://www.inmatereleases.org/ Multnomah County Jail Inmate Early Releases Database] indicates that he has not been released, either.
*'''1 September 2006''': Sibe is released from jail and put under the supervision of the Oregon Department of Corrections for a period of 3 years. The slightly early release is due to the calculated release date not being on a government business day.
*'''12 May 2007''': Sibe announces that a warrant for his arrest has been issued, as he has avoided seeing his probation officer due to continued failures to pass a [[Wikipedia:urinalysis|urinalysis]] since the prior September.<ref>''[http://www.greatestjournal.com/users/evilsibe/112095.html Warrant for my arrest], Sibe (12 May 2007)</ref> He suggests that he is likely to do "a little time in county", and offers to post his address so people can write to him in jail.

*'''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]].

==== Timeline ====

[[Image:Sibe.jpg|right|thumb|Sibe: "Big snugly husky dog that luvs everyone. <3"]]
*'''9 December 1995''': Sibe arrested for Domestic Violence Assault in the Fourth Degree against his father. He was sentenced to three months probation, 16 hours community service (time served), and lost his right to possess firearms in Washington State. Terms of his probation include not engaging in unwanted physical contact with family members and others, typical conditions for a juvenile convicted of Assault in the Fourth Degree.
*'''6 March 1996''': Sibe is again arrested for DV-Assault 4 against his father. The hearing was delayed due to him being checked into a psychiatric institution in the state of Idaho. It is currently unknown how long he was in the institution. A warrant was issued for his arrest for failure to appear and was valid for almost 18 months until he filed for quashing the warrant on his 18th birthday for the juvenile court's lack of jurisdiction. The King County Prosecutor's office declined to prosecute him in adult court for that incident and the case was dismissed.
*'''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.
*'''6 March 2001''': After Sibe had already lost the right to possess firearms in the state of Washington, he is arrested for violating ORS (short for Oregon Revised Statute) 166.370, possession of a loaded firearm in a public building, specifically Herald College in Portland, OR. He possessed a shotgun on the grounds of an educational institution in his duffel bag, which is illegal unless you fall into one of the exceptions in the statute. He is given pre-trial intervention/diversion, where if he had not been arrested for any further crimes, his charge would have been dismissed.
[[Image:PafSibeBadge.jpg|right|thumb|Sibe, by [[Chris Goodwin]]]]
*'''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.
*'''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.
*'''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).
*'''May 2002''': A warrant is issued for the arrest of Sibe for failure to appear in court in Issaquah, Washington in regards to his reckless driving charge. This was not taken care of until September 2004.
*'''3 May 2002''': A hearing is held in regards to possible release. His attorney identifies Sibe as having significant psychiatric problems, including being diagnosed as having bipolar disorder by two different psychiatrists in his youth. Disciplinary problems include: Fighting, flooding his cell with water causing $1500 worth of damage, failing to follow directions of jail deputies. As a result of his disciplinary problems, he was put under lock-down. Judge Beckman orders the jail to allow a psychiatrist into the jail for his psychiatric care.
*'''5 December 2002''': Sibe is sentenced to 36 months of probation plus time served, and is ordered to obey all laws, restricted internet usage, and to not use drugs, among other provisions.
*'''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.
*'''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.
*'''November 2004''': Sibe moves to Bellevue, Washington from Portland, Oregon and did not notify his probation judge.
*'''6 December 2004''': Sibe is sentenced to 1 year of probation by the King County District Court for his reckless driving case from 2001.
*'''28 December 2004''': After being unable to find Sibe's current address due to lack of notification of his move to Washington State in late November 2004, and failing to appear to a probation hearing due to a report of illegal activities by the [[Wikipedia:Federal Bureau of Investigation|FBI]], Judge Douglas Beckman of the Multnomah County Circuit Court issues a warrant for Sibe's arrest with no bail allowed. The warrant was not extraditable outside of Oregon.
*'''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.
*'''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>
*'''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''.
*'''September 2005''': Sibe moves back to Portland, Oregon from Bellevue, Washington. He does not notify his probation judge in Washington of his new address in Oregon. In this month his Oregon warrant was also updated to extraditable from Washington, Idaho, and Western Montana as part of a change in policy in regards dealing with felony offenses against persons in Oregon, due to the ability of criminals previous to this to run to Washington and evade capture.
*'''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]]]]
*'''5 February 2006''': Sibe was booked into Multnomah County (Oregon) Justice Center by officers of the [http://www.portlandonline.com/police/?&c=29708 Portland Police Bureau] for the warrant issued on 28 December 2004. As he now had a fixed address (Multnomah County Justice Center), he was process-served for various lawsuits and orders of protection. Despite speculation on various sites that the "DV-Coercion" notation in the booking log indicated that he committed a new domestic violence offense, particularly against his mate Bound Wolf, the real reason why Multnomah County Sheriff's noted the DV-Coercion in his booking file was due to the charge that he was convicted of in 2002 in exchange for his plea of no contest. This is standard in the booking process to note the convictions of a person who is serving jail time for a probation violation. It was not a new charge.
*'''14 February 2006''': Sibe's Greatest Journal was deleted, though not by Sibe since he was still in custody at the time. It was not suspended by Greatest Journal.
*'''17 February 2006''': A hearing for violation of probation is convened at 9:30AM at Multnomah County Circuit Courthouse. Judge Douglas Beckman presiding. Sibe stipulates to evading the warrant for his arrest and continued to abscond, use of internet outside of Judge Beckman's authorization, and stipulation to the use of marijuana, as well as traffic violations. Judge Beckman, during the defense attorney's statements about Sibe's accomplishments of having a job for nearly a year. His computer is ordered seized and turned over to the Federal Bureau of Investigation for forensic examination. The hearing is held over until 7 March 2006 for hearing. Sibe offers up a Compaq laptop as his personal computer.
*'''7 March 2006''': Due to Sibe's misrepresenting to the court that his Compaq laptop was his only personal computer (the FBI forensics examiners determined that the computer was a "brick," "ancient", and had only been used three times since 2003 for dial up usage), along with the stipulations to his violations of probation, he receives a 6 month jail sentence for the probation violations, plus 3 years' parole. His 30 days held at the Multnomah County (Oregon) Justice Center thus far does not count as time served toward this sentence due primarily to his misrepresentation to the court.
*'''23 March 2006''': An email is sent from [http://www.vinelink.com VINElink] victim notification services that he was released from Oregon Department of Corrections. However, he is still in Multnomah County Jail until 3 September 2006 according to Multnomah County Jail Custody Records, and his other entries into VINElink indicate that he is still in the custody of Multnomah County Jail. A search through [http://www.inmatereleases.org/ Multnomah County Jail Inmate Early Releases Database] indicates that he has not been released, either.
*'''1 September 2006''': Sibe is released from jail and put under the supervision of the Oregon Department of Corrections for a period of 3 years. The slightly early release is due to the calculated release date not being on a government business day.
*'''12 May 2007''': Sibe announces that a warrant for his arrest has been issued, as he has avoided seeing his probation officer due to continued failures to pass a [[Wikipedia:urinalysis|urinalysis]] since the prior September.<ref>''[http://www.greatestjournal.com/users/evilsibe/112095.html Warrant for my arrest], Sibe (12 May 2007)</ref> He suggests that he is likely to do "a little time in county", and offers to post his address so people can write to him in jail. He is listed as an absconder from community supervision on VINElink.<ref name="VINElink">[http://www.vinelink.com/ VINElink offender detail] (search Oregon for Ross Reddick), accessed 19 August 2007</ref>
*'''28 May 2007''': Sibe is permanently banned from the [[FurAffinity]]'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.{cite}
*'''18 August 2007''': Sibe is taken into custody under the previous warrant, and enters the [http://www.norcor.co.wasco.or.us/ Northern Oregon Regional Correctional Facilities] (NORCOR).<ref name="VINElink" />
*'''22 August 2007''': VINElink reports that Sibe has been released from NORCOR, and is back in the custody of the Multnomah County Sheriff's Office.<ref name="VINElink" />
*'''?? August 2007''': Sibe is released again from jail into the general population. He resumes his duties as a Lulz.net moderator.
*'''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.

Sibe: Banned from AC

[[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 that of a [[Siberian Husky]], the [[dog]] breed from which he derived his name.

== Controversy ==

==== Trolling and wares ====

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 [[:Category:Artists|furry artists]] from 2001 through 2006, that has permanently cemented his current reputation with the fandom with this subsequent actions.

==== Bans ====

He also has the dubious unique honor of having been banned by at a major and some minor [[convention]]s - [[Further Confusion]]. 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]] 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>

The comic ''[[West Corner Of the Park (comic)|West Corner of the Park]]'' has depicted Sibe as a giant slug,<ref>http://www.graphxpress.com/cgi-bin/wcotp.cgi?date=20060319</ref><ref>http://www.graphxpress.com/cgi-bin/wcotp.cgi?date=20011110</ref><ref>http://www.graphxpress.com/cgi-bin/wcotp.cgi?date=20020107</ref> although this includes an element of artistic license.

*'''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.
*'''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.
*'''November 2004''': Sibe moves to Bellevue, Washington from Portland, Oregon and did not notify his probation judge.
*'''6 December 2004''': Sibe is sentenced to 1 year of probation by the King County District Court for his reckless driving case from 2001.
*'''28 December 2004''': After being unable to find Sibe's current address due to lack of notification of his move to Washington State in late November 2004, and failing to appear to a probation hearing due to a report of illegal activities by the [[Wikipedia:Federal Bureau of Investigation|FBI]], Judge Douglas Beckman of the Multnomah County Circuit Court issues a warrant for Sibe's arrest with no bail allowed. The warrant was not extraditable outside of Oregon.
*'''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.
*'''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.

*'''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''.
*'''September 2005''': Sibe moves back to Portland, Oregon from Bellevue, Washington. He does not notify his probation judge in Washington of his new address in Oregon. In this month his Oregon warrant was also updated to extraditable from Washington, Idaho, and Western Montana as part of a change in policy in regards dealing with felony offenses against persons in Oregon, due to the ability of criminals previous to this to run to Washington and evade capture.
*'''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]]]]
*'''5 February 2006''': Sibe was booked into Multnomah County (Oregon) Justice Center by officers of the [http://www.portlandonline.com/police/?&c=29708 Portland Police Bureau] for the warrant issued on 28 December 2004. As he now had a fixed address (Multnomah County Justice Center), he was process-served for various lawsuits and orders of protection. Despite speculation on various sites that the "DV-Coercion" notation in the booking log indicated that he committed a new domestic violence offense, particularly against his mate Bound Wolf, the real reason why Multnomah County Sheriff's noted the DV-Coercion in his booking file was due to the charge that he was convicted of in 2002 in exchange for his plea of no contest. This is standard in the booking process to note the convictions of a person who is serving jail time for a probation violation. It was not a new charge.
*'''14 February 2006''': Sibe's Greatest Journal was deleted, though not by Sibe since he was still in custody at the time. It was not suspended by Greatest Journal.
*'''17 February 2006''': A hearing for violation of probation is convened at 9:30AM at Multnomah County Circuit Courthouse. Judge Douglas Beckman presiding. Sibe stipulates to evading the warrant for his arrest and continued to abscond, use of internet outside of Judge Beckman's authorization, and stipulation to the use of marijuana, as well as traffic violations. Judge Beckman, during the defense attorney's statements about Sibe's accomplishments of having a job for nearly a year, brought up the issue of police reports filed for sexual abuse and misconduct by four different persons, including the father of a 2 year old girl who accused Sibe of sexually abusing his daughter. The father of the 2 year old was deported and as a result the case was dropped due to the lack of witnesses (the daughter was removed from the country by ICE with her father). His computer is ordered seized and turned over to the Federal Bureau of Investigation for forensic examination. The hearing is held over until 7 March 2006 for hearing. Sibe offers up a Compaq laptop as his personal computer.
*'''7 March 2006''': Due to Sibe's misrepresenting to the court that his Compaq laptop was his only personal computer (the FBI forensics examiners determined that the computer was a "brick," "ancient", and had only been used three times since 2003 for dial up usage), along with the stipulations to his violations of probation, he receives a 6 month jail sentence for the probation violations, plus 3 years' parole. His 30 days held at the Multnomah County (Oregon) Justice Center thus far does not count as time served toward this sentence due primarily to his misrepresentation to the court.
*'''23 March 2006''': An email is sent from [http://www.vinelink.com VINElink] victim notification services that he was released from Oregon Department of Corrections. However, he is still in Multnomah County Jail until 3 September 2006 according to Multnomah County Jail Custody Records, and his other entries into VINElink indicate that he is still in the custody of Multnomah County Jail. A search through [http://www.inmatereleases.org/ Multnomah County Jail Inmate Early Releases Database] indicates that he has not been released, either.
*'''1 September 2006''': Sibe is released from jail and put under the supervision of the Oregon Department of Corrections for a period of 3 years. The slightly early release is due to the calculated release date not being on a government business day.
*'''12 May 2007''': Sibe announces that a warrant for his arrest has been issued, as he has avoided seeing his probation officer due to continued failures to pass a [[Wikipedia:urinalysis|urinalysis]] since the prior September.<ref>''[http://www.greatestjournal.com/users/evilsibe/112095.html Warrant for my arrest], Sibe (12 May 2007)</ref> He suggests that he is likely to do "a little time in county", and offers to post his address so people can write to him in jail.

Evil Sibe

2008-06-07T17:27:06Z

Sibe: Repetive use of real name is great for google, no so great for an article about a furry. The furname should be used when appropriate.

[[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 that of a [[Siberian Husky]], the [[dog]] breed from which he derived his name.

== Controversy ==

==== Trolling and wares ====

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 [[:Category:Artists|furry artists]] from 2001 through 2006, that has permanently cemented his current reputation with the fandom with this subsequent actions.

==== Bans ====

He also has the dubious unique honor of having been banned by at a major and some minor [[convention]]s - [[Further Confusion]]. 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]] 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>

The comic ''[[West Corner Of the Park (comic)|West Corner of the Park]]'' has depicted Sibe as a giant slug,<ref>http://www.graphxpress.com/cgi-bin/wcotp.cgi?date=20060319</ref><ref>http://www.graphxpress.com/cgi-bin/wcotp.cgi?date=20011110</ref><ref>http://www.graphxpress.com/cgi-bin/wcotp.cgi?date=20020107</ref> although this includes an element of artistic license.

==== Timeline ====

[[Image:Sibe.jpg|right|thumb|Sibe: "Big snugly husky dog that luvs everyone. <3"]]
*'''9 December 1995''': Sibe arrested for Domestic Violence Assault in the Fourth Degree against his father. He was sentenced to three months probation, 16 hours community service (time served), and lost his right to possess firearms in Washington State. Terms of his probation include not engaging in unwanted physical contact with family members and others, typical conditions for a juvenile convicted of Assault in the Fourth Degree.
*'''6 March 1996''': Sibe is again arrested for DV-Assault 4 against his father. The hearing was delayed due to him being checked into a psychiatric institution in the state of Idaho. It is currently unknown how long he was in the institution. A warrant was issued for his arrest for failure to appear and was valid for almost 18 months until he filed for quashing the warrant on his 18th birthday for the juvenile court's lack of jurisdiction. The King County Prosecutor's office declined to prosecute him in adult court for that incident and the case was dismissed.
*'''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.
*'''6 March 2001''': After Sibe had already lost the right to possess firearms in the state of Washington, he is arrested for violating ORS (short for Oregon Revised Statute) 166.370, possession of a loaded firearm in a public building, specifically Herald College in Portland, OR. He possessed a shotgun on the grounds of an educational institution in his duffel bag, which is illegal unless you fall into one of the exceptions in the statute. He is given pre-trial intervention/diversion, where if he had not been arrested for any further crimes, his charge would have been dismissed.
[[Image:PafSibeBadge.jpg|right|thumb|Sibe, by [[Chris Goodwin]]]]
*'''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.
*'''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.
*'''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).
*'''May 2002''': A warrant is issued for the arrest of Sibe for failure to appear in court in Issaquah, Washington in regards to his reckless driving charge. This was not taken care of until September 2004.
*'''3 May 2002''': A hearing is held in regards to possible release. His attorney identifies Sibe as having significant psychiatric problems, including being diagnosed as having bipolar disorder by two different psychiatrists in his youth. Disciplinary problems include: Fighting, flooding his cell with water causing $1500 worth of damage, failing to follow directions of jail deputies. As a result of his disciplinary problems, he was put under lock-down. Judge Beckman orders the jail to allow a psychiatrist into the jail for his psychiatric care.
*'''5 December 2002''': Sibe is sentenced to 36 months of probation plus time served, and is ordered to obey all laws, restricted internet usage, and to not use drugs, among other provisions.
*'''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.
*'''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.
*'''November 2004''': Sibe moves to Bellevue, Washington from Portland, Oregon and did not notify his probation judge.
*'''6 December 2004''': Sibe is sentenced to 1 year of probation by the King County District Court for his reckless driving case from 2001.
*'''28 December 2004''': After being unable to find Sibe's current address due to lack of notification of his move to Washington State in late November 2004, and failing to appear to a probation hearing due to a report of illegal activities by the [[Wikipedia:Federal Bureau of Investigation|FBI]], Judge Douglas Beckman of the Multnomah County Circuit Court issues a warrant for Sibe's arrest with no bail allowed. The warrant was not extraditable outside of Oregon.
*'''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.
*'''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.

*'''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''.
*'''September 2005''': Sibe moves back to Portland, Oregon from Bellevue, Washington. He does not notify his probation judge in Washington of his new address in Oregon. In this month his Oregon warrant was also updated to extraditable from Washington, Idaho, and Western Montana as part of a change in policy in regards dealing with felony offenses against persons in Oregon, due to the ability of criminals previous to this to run to Washington and evade capture.
*'''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]]]]
*'''5 February 2006''': Sibe was booked into Multnomah County (Oregon) Justice Center by officers of the [http://www.portlandonline.com/police/?&c=29708 Portland Police Bureau] for the warrant issued on 28 December 2004. As he now had a fixed address (Multnomah County Justice Center), he was process-served for various lawsuits and orders of protection. Despite speculation on various sites that the "DV-Coercion" notation in the booking log indicated that he committed a new domestic violence offense, particularly against his mate Bound Wolf, the real reason why Multnomah County Sheriff's noted the DV-Coercion in his booking file was due to the charge that he was convicted of in 2002 in exchange for his plea of no contest. This is standard in the booking process to note the convictions of a person who is serving jail time for a probation violation. It was not a new charge.
*'''14 February 2006''': Sibe's Greatest Journal was deleted, though not by Sibe since he was still in custody at the time. It was not suspended by Greatest Journal.
*'''17 February 2006''': A hearing for violation of probation is convened at 9:30AM at Multnomah County Circuit Courthouse. Judge Douglas Beckman presiding. Sibe stipulates to evading the warrant for his arrest and continued to abscond, use of internet outside of Judge Beckman's authorization, and stipulation to the use of marijuana, as well as traffic violations. Judge Beckman, during the defense attorney's statements about Sibe's accomplishments of having a job for nearly a year, brought up the issue of police reports filed for sexual abuse and misconduct by four different persons, including the father of a 2 year old girl who accused Sibe of sexually abusing his daughter. The father of the 2 year old was deported and as a result the case was dropped due to the lack of witnesses (the daughter was removed from the country by ICE with her father). His computer is ordered seized and turned over to the Federal Bureau of Investigation for forensic examination. The hearing is held over until 7 March 2006 for hearing. Sibe offers up a Compaq laptop as his personal computer.
*'''7 March 2006''': Due to Sibe's misrepresenting to the court that his Compaq laptop was his only personal computer (the FBI forensics examiners determined that the computer was a "brick," "ancient", and had only been used three times since 2003 for dial up usage), along with the stipulations to his violations of probation, he receives a 6 month jail sentence for the probation violations, plus 3 years' parole. His 30 days held at the Multnomah County (Oregon) Justice Center thus far does not count as time served toward this sentence due primarily to his misrepresentation to the court.
*'''23 March 2006''': An email is sent from [http://www.vinelink.com VINElink] victim notification services that he was released from Oregon Department of Corrections.

A search through [http://www.inmatereleases.org/ Multnomah County Jail Inmate Early Releases Database] indicates that he has not been released, either.

Evil Sibe

2008-06-07T17:24:37Z

Sibe:

[[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 that of a [[Siberian Husky]], the [[dog]] breed from which he derived his name.

== Controversy ==

==== Trolling and wares ====

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 [[:Category:Artists|furry artists]] from 2001 through 2006, that has permanently cemented his current reputation with the fandom with this subsequent actions.

==== Bans ====

He also has the dubious unique honor of having been banned by at a major and some minor [[convention]]s - [[Further Confusion]]. 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]] 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>

The comic ''[[West Corner Of the Park (comic)|West Corner of the Park]]'' has depicted Sibe as a giant slug,<ref>http://www.graphxpress.com/cgi-bin/wcotp.cgi?date=20060319</ref><ref>http://www.graphxpress.com/cgi-bin/wcotp.cgi?date=20011110</ref><ref>http://www.graphxpress.com/cgi-bin/wcotp.cgi?date=20020107</ref> although this includes an element of artistic license.

==== Timeline ====

[[Image:Sibe.jpg|right|thumb|Sibe: "Big snugly husky dog that luvs everyone. <3"]]
*'''9 December 1995''': Sibe arrested for Domestic Violence Assault in the Fourth Degree against his father. He was sentenced to three months probation, 16 hours community service (time served), and lost his right to possess firearms in Washington State. Terms of his probation include not engaging in unwanted physical contact with family members and others, typical conditions for a juvenile convicted of Assault in the Fourth Degree.
*'''6 March 1996''': Sibe is again arrested for DV-Assault 4 against his father. The hearing was delayed due to him being checked into a psychiatric institution in the state of Idaho. It is currently unknown how long he was in the institution. A warrant was issued for his arrest for failure to appear and was valid for almost 18 months until he filed for quashing the warrant on his 18th birthday for the juvenile court's lack of jurisdiction. The King County Prosecutor's office declined to prosecute him in adult court for that incident and the case was dismissed.
*'''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.
*'''6 March 2001''': After Sibe had already lost the right to possess firearms in the state of Washington, he is arrested for violating ORS (short for Oregon Revised Statute) 166.370, possession of a loaded firearm in a public building, specifically Herald College in Portland, OR. He possessed a shotgun on the grounds of an educational institution in his duffel bag, which is illegal unless you fall into one of the exceptions in the statute. He is given pre-trial intervention/diversion, where if he had not been arrested for any further crimes, his charge would have been dismissed.
[[Image:PafSibeBadge.jpg|right|thumb|Sibe, by [[Chris Goodwin]]]]
*'''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.
*'''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.
*'''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).
*'''May 2002''': A warrant is issued for the arrest of Sibe for failure to appear in court in Issaquah, Washington in regards to his reckless driving charge. This was not taken care of until September 2004.
*'''3 May 2002''': A hearing is held in regards to possible release. His attorney identifies Sibe as having significant psychiatric problems, including being diagnosed as having bipolar disorder by two different psychiatrists in his youth. Disciplinary problems include: Fighting, flooding his cell with water causing $1500 worth of damage, failing to follow directions of jail deputies. As a result of his disciplinary problems, he was put under lock-down. Judge Beckman orders the jail to allow a psychiatrist into the jail for his psychiatric care.
*'''5 December 2002''': Sibe is sentenced to 36 months of probation plus time served, and is ordered to obey all laws, restricted internet usage, and to not use drugs, among other provisions.
*'''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 Ross Reddick 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.
*'''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.
*'''November 2004''': Sibe moves to Bellevue, Washington from Portland, Oregon and did not notify his probation judge.
*'''6 December 2004''': Sibe is sentenced to 1 year of probation by the King County District Court for his reckless driving case from 2001.
*'''28 December 2004''': After being unable to find Sibe's current address due to lack of notification of his move to Washington State in late November 2004, and failing to appear to a probation hearing due to a report of illegal activities by the [[Wikipedia:Federal Bureau of Investigation|FBI]], Judge Douglas Beckman of the Multnomah County Circuit Court issues a warrant for Sibe's arrest with no bail allowed. The warrant was not extraditable outside of Oregon.
*'''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.
*'''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>
*'''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''.
*'''September 2005''': Sibe moves back to Portland, Oregon from Bellevue, Washington. He does not notify his probation judge in Washington of his new address in Oregon. In this month his Oregon warrant was also updated to extraditable from Washington, Idaho, and Western Montana as part of a change in policy in regards dealing with felony offenses against persons in Oregon, due to the ability of criminals previous to this to run to Washington and evade capture.
*'''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]]]]
*'''5 February 2006''': Sibe was booked into Multnomah County (Oregon) Justice Center by officers of the [http://www.portlandonline.com/police/?&c=29708 Portland Police Bureau] for the warrant issued on 28 December 2004. As he now had a fixed address (Multnomah County Justice Center), he was process-served for various lawsuits and orders of protection. Despite speculation on various sites that the "DV-Coercion" notation in the booking log indicated that he committed a new domestic violence offense, particularly against his mate Bound Wolf, the real reason why Multnomah County Sheriff's noted the DV-Coercion in his booking file was due to the charge that he was convicted of in 2002 in exchange for his plea of no contest. This is standard in the booking process to note the convictions of a person who is serving jail time for a probation violation. It was not a new charge.
*'''14 February 2006''': Sibe's Greatest Journal was deleted, though not by Sibe since he was still in custody at the time. It was not suspended by Greatest Journal.
*'''17 February 2006''': A hearing for violation of probation is convened at 9:30AM at Multnomah County Circuit Courthouse. Judge Douglas Beckman presiding. Sibe stipulates to evading the warrant for his arrest and continued to abscond, use of internet outside of Judge Beckman's authorization, and stipulation to the use of marijuana, as well as traffic violations. Judge Beckman, during the defense attorney's statements about Sibe's accomplishments of having a job for nearly a year, brought up the issue of police reports filed for sexual abuse and misconduct by four different persons, including the father of a 2 year old girl who accused Sibe of sexually abusing his daughter. The father of the 2 year old was deported and as a result the case was dropped due to the lack of witnesses (the daughter was removed from the country by ICE with her father). His computer is ordered seized and turned over to the Federal Bureau of Investigation for forensic examination. The hearing is held over until 7 March 2006 for hearing. Sibe offers up a Compaq laptop as his personal computer.
*'''7 March 2006''': Due to Sibe's misrepresenting to the court that his Compaq laptop was his only personal computer (the FBI forensics examiners determined that the computer was a "brick," "ancient", and had only been used three times since 2003 for dial up usage), along with the stipulations to his violations of probation, he receives a 6 month jail sentence for the probation violations, plus 3 years' parole. His 30 days held at the Multnomah County (Oregon) Justice Center thus far does not count as time served toward this sentence due primarily to his misrepresentation to the court.
*'''23 March 2006''': An email is sent from [http://www.vinelink.com VINElink] victim notification services that he was released from Oregon Department of Corrections. However, he is still in Multnomah County Jail until 3 September 2006 according to Multnomah County Jail Custody Records, and his other entries into VINElink indicate that he is still in the custody of Multnomah County Jail.

Evil Sibe

2008-06-07T17:21:58Z

Sibe: My greatest journal website was never a part of my discovery in any legal case. GreyCoyote's speculation can be found in many of his insane rants. Speculation is not a "timeline fact"

[[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 that of a [[Siberian Husky]], the [[dog]] breed from which he derived his name.

== Controversy ==

==== Trolling and wares ====

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 [[:Category:Artists|furry artists]] from 2001 through 2006, that has permanently cemented his current reputation with the fandom with this subsequent actions.

==== Bans ====

He also has the dubious unique honor of having been banned by at a major and some minor [[convention]]s - [[Further Confusion]]. 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]] 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>

==== Timeline ====

[[Image:Sibe.jpg|right|thumb|Sibe: "Big snugly husky dog that luvs everyone. <3"]]
*'''9 December 1995''': Sibe arrested for Domestic Violence Assault in the Fourth Degree against his father. He was sentenced to three months probation, 16 hours community service (time served), and lost his right to possess firearms in Washington State. Terms of his probation include not engaging in unwanted physical contact with family members and others, typical conditions for a juvenile convicted of Assault in the Fourth Degree.
*'''6 March 1996''': Sibe is again arrested for DV-Assault 4 against his father. The hearing was delayed due to him being checked into a psychiatric institution in the state of Idaho. It is currently unknown how long he was in the institution. A warrant was issued for his arrest for failure to appear and was valid for almost 18 months until he filed for quashing the warrant on his 18th birthday for the juvenile court's lack of jurisdiction. The King County Prosecutor's office declined to prosecute him in adult court for that incident and the case was dismissed.
*'''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.
*'''6 March 2001''': After Sibe had already lost the right to possess firearms in the state of Washington, he is arrested for violating ORS (short for Oregon Revised Statute) 166.370, possession of a loaded firearm in a public building, specifically Herald College in Portland, OR. He possessed a shotgun on the grounds of an educational institution in his duffel bag, which is illegal unless you fall into one of the exceptions in the statute. He is given pre-trial intervention/diversion, where if he had not been arrested for any further crimes, his charge would have been dismissed.
[[Image:PafSibeBadge.jpg|right|thumb|Sibe, by [[Chris Goodwin]]]]
*'''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.
*'''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.
*'''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).
*'''May 2002''': A warrant is issued for the arrest of Sibe for failure to appear in court in Issaquah, Washington in regards to his reckless driving charge. This was not taken care of until September 2004.
*'''3 May 2002''': A hearing is held in regards to possible release. His attorney identifies Sibe as having significant psychiatric problems, including being diagnosed as having bipolar disorder by two different psychiatrists in his youth. Disciplinary problems include: Fighting, flooding his cell with water causing $1500 worth of damage, failing to follow directions of jail deputies. As a result of his disciplinary problems, he was put under lock-down. Judge Beckman orders the jail to allow a psychiatrist into the jail for his psychiatric care.
*'''5 December 2002''': Sibe is sentenced to 36 months of probation plus time served, and is ordered to obey all laws, restricted internet usage, and to not use drugs, among other provisions.
*'''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 Ross Reddick 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.
*'''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.
*'''November 2004''': Sibe moves to Bellevue, Washington from Portland, Oregon and did not notify his probation judge.
*'''6 December 2004''': Sibe is sentenced to 1 year of probation by the King County District Court for his reckless driving case from 2001.
*'''28 December 2004''': After being unable to find Sibe's current address due to lack of notification of his move to Washington State in late November 2004, and failing to appear to a probation hearing due to a report of illegal activities by the [[Wikipedia:Federal Bureau of Investigation|FBI]], Judge Douglas Beckman of the Multnomah County Circuit Court issues a warrant for Sibe's arrest with no bail allowed. The warrant was not extraditable outside of Oregon.
*'''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.
*'''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>
*'''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''.
*'''September 2005''': Sibe moves back to Portland, Oregon from Bellevue, Washington. He does not notify his probation judge in Washington of his new address in Oregon. In this month his Oregon warrant was also updated to extraditable from Washington, Idaho, and Western Montana as part of a change in policy in regards dealing with felony offenses against persons in Oregon, due to the ability of criminals previous to this to run to Washington and evade capture.
*'''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]]]]
*'''5 February 2006''': Sibe was booked into Multnomah County (Oregon) Justice Center by officers of the [http://www.portlandonline.com/police/?&c=29708 Portland Police Bureau] for the warrant issued on 28 December 2004. As he now had a fixed address (Multnomah County Justice Center), he was process-served for various lawsuits and orders of protection. Despite speculation on various sites that the "DV-Coercion" notation in the booking log indicated that he committed a new domestic violence offense, particularly against his mate Bound Wolf, the real reason why Multnomah County Sheriff's noted the DV-Coercion in his booking file was due to the charge that he was convicted of in 2002 in exchange for his plea of no contest. Whether this was intentional or an error on their part is unknown.
*'''14 February 2006''': Sibe's Greatest Journal was deleted, though not by Sibe since he was still in custody at the time. It was not suspended by Greatest Journal.
*'''17 February 2006''': A hearing for violation of probation is convened at 9:30AM at Multnomah County Circuit Courthouse. Judge Douglas Beckman presiding. Sibe stipulates to evading the warrant for his arrest and continued to abscond, use of internet outside of Judge Beckman's authorization, and stipulation to the use of marijuana, as well as traffic violations. Judge Beckman, during the defense attorney's statements about Sibe's accomplishments of having a job for nearly a year, brought up the issue of police reports filed for sexual abuse and misconduct by four different persons, including the father of a 2 year old girl who accused Sibe of sexually abusing his daughter. The father of the 2 year old was deported and as a result the case was dropped due to the lack of witnesses (the daughter was removed from the country by ICE with her father). His computer is ordered seized and turned over to the Federal Bureau of Investigation for forensic examination. The hearing is held over until 7 March 2006 for hearing. Sibe offers up a Compaq laptop as his personal computer.
*'''7 March 2006''': Due to Sibe's misrepresenting to the court that his Compaq laptop was his only personal computer (the FBI forensics examiners determined that the computer was a "brick," "ancient", and had only been used three times since 2003 for dial up usage), along with the stipulations to his violations of probation, he receives a 6 month jail sentence for the probation violations, plus 3 years' parole. His 30 days held at the Multnomah County (Oregon) Justice Center thus far does not count as time served toward this sentence due primarily to his misrepresentation to the court.
*'''23 March 2006''': An email is sent from [http://www.vinelink.com VINElink] victim notification services that he was released from Oregon Department of Corrections. However, he is still in Multnomah County Jail until 3 September 2006 according to Multnomah County Jail Custody Records, and his other entries into VINElink indicate that he is still in the custody of Multnomah County Jail. A search through [http://www.inmatereleases.org/ Multnomah County Jail Inmate Early Releases Database] indicates that he has not been released, either.
*'''1 September 2006''': Sibe is released from jail and put under the supervision of the Oregon Department of Corrections for a period of 3 years. The slightly early release is due to the calculated release date not being on a government business day.
*'''12 May 2007''': Sibe announces that a warrant for his arrest has been issued, as he has avoided seeing his probation officer due to continued failures to pass a [[Wikipedia:urinalysis|urinalysis]] since the prior September.<ref>''[http://www.greatestjournal.com/users/evilsibe/112095.html Warrant for my arrest], Sibe (12 May 2007)</ref> He suggests that he is likely to do "a little time in county", and offers to post his address so people can write to him in jail.

*'''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.{cite}

*'''6 March 2001''': After Sibe had already lost the right to possess firearms in the state of Washington, he is arrested for violating ORS (short for Oregon Revised Statute) 166.370, possession of a loaded firearm in a public building, specifically Herald College in Portland, OR. He possessed a shotgun on the grounds of an educational institution in his duffel bag, which is illegal unless you fall into one of the exceptions in the statute. He is given pre-trial intervention/diversion, where if he had not been arrested for any further crimes, his charge would have been dismissed.
[[Image:PafSibeBadge.jpg|right|thumb|Sibe, by [[Chris Goodwin]]]]
*'''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.
*'''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.
*'''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).
*'''May 2002''': A warrant is issued for the arrest of Sibe for failure to appear in court in Issaquah, Washington in regards to his reckless driving charge. This was not taken care of until September 2004.
*'''3 May 2002''': A hearing is held in regards to possible release. His attorney identifies Sibe as having significant psychiatric problems, including being diagnosed as having bipolar disorder by two different psychiatrists in his youth. Disciplinary problems include: Fighting, flooding his cell with water causing $1500 worth of damage, failing to follow directions of jail deputies. As a result of his disciplinary problems, he was put under lock-down. Judge Beckman orders the jail to allow a psychiatrist into the jail for his psychiatric care.
*'''5 December 2002''': Sibe is sentenced to 36 months of probation plus time served, and is ordered to obey all laws, restricted internet usage, and to not use drugs, among other provisions.
*'''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 Ross Reddick 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.
*'''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.
*'''November 2004''': Sibe moves to Bellevue, Washington from Portland, Oregon and did not notify his probation judge.
*'''6 December 2004''': Sibe is sentenced to 1 year of probation by the King County District Court for his reckless driving case from 2001.
*'''28 December 2004''': After being unable to find Sibe's current address due to lack of notification of his move to Washington State in late November 2004, and failing to appear to a probation hearing due to a report of illegal activities by the [[Wikipedia:Federal Bureau of Investigation|FBI]], Judge Douglas Beckman of the Multnomah County Circuit Court issues a warrant for Sibe's arrest with no bail allowed. The warrant was not extraditable outside of Oregon.
*'''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.
*'''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>
*'''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''.
*'''September 2005''': Sibe moves back to Portland, Oregon from Bellevue, Washington. He does not notify his probation judge in Washington of his new address in Oregon. In this month his Oregon warrant was also updated to extraditable from Washington, Idaho, and Western Montana as part of a change in policy in regards dealing with felony offenses against persons in Oregon, due to the ability of criminals previous to this to run to Washington and evade capture.
*'''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]]]]
*'''5 February 2006''': Sibe was booked into Multnomah County (Oregon) Justice Center by officers of the [http://www.portlandonline.com/police/?&c=29708 Portland Police Bureau] for the warrant issued on 28 December 2004. As he now had a fixed address (Multnomah County Justice Center), he was process-served for various lawsuits and orders of protection. Despite speculation on various sites that the "DV-Coercion" notation in the booking log indicated that he committed a new domestic violence offense, particularly against his mate Bound Wolf, the real reason why Multnomah County Sheriff's noted the DV-Coercion in his booking file was due to the charge that he was convicted of in 2002 in exchange for his plea of no contest. Whether this was intentional or an error on their part is unknown.
*'''14 February 2006''': Sibe's Greatest Journal was deleted, though not by Sibe since he was still in custody at the time. It was not suspended by Greatest Journal, which leads to speculation of possible evidence tampering.
*'''17 February 2006''': A hearing for violation of probation is convened at 9:30AM at Multnomah County Circuit Courthouse. Judge Douglas Beckman presiding. Sibe stipulates to evading the warrant for his arrest and continued to abscond, use of internet outside of Judge Beckman's authorization, and stipulation to the use of marijuana, as well as traffic violations. Judge Beckman, during the defense attorney's statements about Sibe's accomplishments of having a job for nearly a year, brought up the issue of police reports filed for sexual abuse and misconduct by four different persons, including the father of a 2 year old girl who accused Sibe of sexually abusing his daughter. The father of the 2 year old was deported and as a result the case was dropped due to the lack of witnesses (the daughter was removed from the country by ICE with her father). His computer is ordered seized and turned over to the Federal Bureau of Investigation for forensic examination. The hearing is held over until 7 March 2006 for hearing. Sibe offers up a Compaq laptop as his personal computer.
*'''7 March 2006''': Due to Sibe's misrepresenting to the court that his Compaq laptop was his only personal computer (the FBI forensics examiners determined that the computer was a "brick," "ancient", and had only been used three times since 2003 for dial up usage), along with the stipulations to his violations of probation, he receives a 6 month jail sentence for the probation violations, plus 3 years' parole. His 30 days held at the Multnomah County (Oregon) Justice Center thus far does not count as time served toward this sentence due primarily to his misrepresentation to the court.
*'''23 March 2006''': An email is sent from [http://www.vinelink.com VINElink] victim notification services that he was released from Oregon Department of Corrections. However, he is still in Multnomah County Jail until 3 September 2006 according to Multnomah County Jail Custody Records, and his other entries into VINElink indicate that he is still in the custody of Multnomah County Jail. A search through [http://www.inmatereleases.org/ Multnomah County Jail Inmate Early Releases Database] indicates that he has not been released, either.
*'''1 September 2006''': Sibe is released from jail and put under the supervision of the Oregon Department of Corrections for a period of 3 years. The slightly early release is due to the calculated release date not being on a government business day.
*'''12 May 2007''': Sibe announces that a warrant for his arrest has been issued, as he has avoided seeing his probation officer due to continued failures to pass a [[Wikipedia:urinalysis|urinalysis]] since the prior September.<ref>''[http://www.greatestjournal.com/users/evilsibe/112095.html Warrant for my arrest], Sibe (12 May 2007)</ref> He suggests that he is likely to do "a little time in county", and offers to post his address so people can write to him in jail.

*'''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.{cite}
*'''18 August 2007''': Sibe is taken into custody under the previous warrant, and enters the [http://www.norcor.co.wasco.or.us/ Northern Oregon Regional Correctional Facilities] (NORCOR).<ref name="VINElink" />

:Thanks for the tip. --[[User:GreenReaper|GreenReaper]]([[User talk:GreenReaper|talk]]) 07:57, 15 February 2007 (UTC)

== Traffic incidents ==

On the Controversy timeline, there are a few instances that are hard to make a case for their inclusion, but the traffic ones (deleted per now, may be re-instituted if I can make the case,) is more of a personal matter: People have them everyday, most don't reflect on the type of person they are, and, these are really not furry connected (even if trying to tie it to his state of mind.) I had made the case about it a while back, and opinions pro/con are welcome on the removal decision.

While at it, what's the status on his warrant arrest?,... Ongoing, dropped, fake?,... Aaand, the "reference" section needs a major clean-up shake-down (dead links, format, attach reference to the pertinent paragraphs, etc,...) [[User:Spirou|Spirou]] 07:34, 11 June 2007 (UTC)

== August arrest ==

Quick note: sibe was arrested today(8-18-07) on that outstanding warrant. it is unknown how long he will be held for. ~snowy

:[http://www.vinelink.com/offender/detail.jsp?siteID=38000&offenderSID=35726756 Confirmed in VINElink]. Oh well. Hope he can find something productive to do there. --[[User:GreenReaper|GreenReaper]]([[User talk:GreenReaper|talk]]) 05:03, 19 August 2007 (UTC)

theres a typo btw. its august 18 2007 not august 19 2008. ~snowy.

its okay. ill try to keep updated when we hear more. we'll most likely go see him as soon as possible and see whats up. ~snowy
:p.s. it still says 2008.

==FurJAM ban==
Just trying to establish the exact sequence of events about the e-mail ban sent to Sibe...

According to AussieHusky (organiser of FurJAM) this e-mail was actually sent to another fur, Timon_b.

Aussie, when you say "he then forwarded it to Sibe", do you know for certain it was Timon who forwarded the mail? Could Timon have shown it to someone else, and they then forwarded it to Sibe?

Also, at what point did Sibe's name get on the ban? Did Timon change it, or did Sibe? --[[User:Higgs Raccoon|Higgs Raccoon]] 16:17, 22 August 2007 (UTC)

Timon: Sibe Rocks! {{Unsigned|202.7.166.166}}

== Sibe's out! ==

According to VINElink, he was released yesterday.

http://www.vinelink.com/vinelink/detailsAction.do?siteId=38000&agency=25&id=648342&searchType=offender

:Just in time for his birthday, too! Seems everyone has their birthday this 18th (mine's one day after). --[[User:GreenReaper|GreenReaper]]([[User talk:GreenReaper|talk]]) 20:29, 15 September 2007 (UTC)

::Interesting. Mine was yesterday. --[[User:Mwalimu|mwalimu]] 15:23, 17 September 2007 (UTC)

== Sibe's Out Confirmed! ==

He's recently updated his greatest journal, posting a new pic. {{unsigned|Smallfry90}}

== Request for removal or reworking from subject ==

Sibe has again requested removal of this article. He feels that (somewhat paraphrased):
* It incorrectly represents his character, highlighting negative points over positive
* The timeline-based presentation of events is not conductive to balanced coverage
* The mention of crimes for which he was not convicted is inappropriate, as is the inclusion of his real name
* The current effect of the article on his person is inappropriate relative to the amount of harm that he has and is causing the fandom
* WikiFur's standard of inclusion/exclusion is being unfairly applied (e.g. "Do I have a different standard then [[Lance Rund]]? If so, why?")

I would like to know what information the community feels is essential at this point, whether they feel the above complaints are reasonable, and if so, how to solve them. I would be interested in edits to this article - either minor or significant - that improve it from the respect of these comments while keeping any information considered essential to the furry fandom in place. --[[User:GreenReaper|GreenReaper]]([[User talk:GreenReaper|talk]]) 06:39, 13 November 2007 (UTC)

:The more things change, the more they [http://furry.wikia.com/wiki/Talk:Sibe/Archive3 stay the same]. His (still ongoing as of this date) habit of uploading artist copyrighted art to image boards and servers, specially PirateBay's image board (where it's guarantee for those works to be there forever,) doesn't do squat to prove a desire of change. ''"He feels that It incorrectly represents his character, highlighting negative points over positive,"''... Well, when you have more negative points than positive... =/

:''"The current effect of the article on his person is inappropriate relative to the amount of harm that he has and is causing the fandom,"''... I dare-say that there's a lot of people, artists and comic/illustration websites/companies that have a different view about this; Plus "You reap what you sow,..." "Don't shit were you eat,..." etc...

:''"WikiFur's standard of inclusion/exclusion is being unfairly applied (e.g. "Do I have a different standard then [[Lance Rund]]? If so, why?")."''... Lance Rund has not pursued a continuing pattern of detrimental acts to individuals or companies in the fandom =/

:Is there information or data that could be edited out?. Yes, and I did take some of that out myself (like the traffic violations,)... Can more be edited out, again yes, there's alot of negative data that is indeed borderline furry related, and the article as a whole is in dire need of a once over (his revolving-door jail experiences, are we going to add all of them if he continues to do so?.)

:But, as for asking for some consideration, [http://furry.wikia.com/wiki/Talk:Sibe/Archive3 we already fell for that one before] - [[User:Spirou|Spirou]] 07:32, 13 November 2007 (UTC)

::...That said, future behavior/actions could very well put him on a position of reason that warrants removal of said personal info. It's up to the individual - [[User:Spirou|Spirou]] 08:19, 13 November 2007 (UTC)

::: I'd like to point out that within the last month, I have received multiple unsolicited invites from Sibe to various social networking sites, at least one of which was of an adult nature. Make of that what you will. --[[User:Dmuth|Douglas Muth]] 15:48, 13 November 2007 (UTC)

::So because the dude is a bad dude, he doesn't deserve the same respect of privacy that other's request nor the same levels of standards that others have? While the guy is a menace to artists who attempt to sell their artwork, certainly, that doesn't necessarily mean we should run his name through the dirt. Kanye West's mother recently died, and because he "butchered" a Daft Punk song, a few people say it was because of Karma. I don't necessarily think that's fair to Kanye.

::Wikipedia concepts aren't supposed to play judge and jury, regardless of the weasel-words and arguments that are sprinkled throughout articles. And neither is WikiFur. We seem to accept that some artists, as infamous or famous as they are in the fandom, deserve some amounts of respect for their privacy, but for what reason? They're public figures, are they not? Sibe, similarly, is a public figure as well, but with a different level of infamy.

::Arguably, it's a steeper hill to climb for him to request his article be taken down considering that he is Boogeyman #1 in this fandom, but I think it'd be fair to at least consider his request, and not simply write it off as "Sibe is a jerk, I'm not going to listen to what he has to say." [[User:Verix|Verix]] 20:35, 13 November 2007 (UTC)

:::We do have standards. But the standard is not the decision whether or not to exclude someone; it is the ''process'' by which we decide whether or not to exclude someone. This process need not end up at the same result for every person (indeed, if it does, it is simply a rule, not a process), but it should come to the same result given similar situations. And this does indeed happen.

:::If you look at the cases where personal exclusion has been denied in part or in whole, you can see several quite strong patterns - whether or not a person's actions constituted an actual crime in part or in whole, whether or not it was a one-off event or something that has gone on for years, and in some cases whether they had taken steps to redeem themselves. The point of exclusion is that the community generally feels that personal privacy should trump public interest. In these cases, they feel the opposite.

:::As for judging that public interest - well, yes, we '''do''' have to do just that. If not us, who else? The point of this website is to serve the furry fandom as a whole. Nobody appointed us, but this is our website, so it's up to us together to decide what's on it, and to define how we come to such decisions. Wikipedia does make similar decisions, albeit under the header of notability, and wrestles with the same problems. You might think they would put up anything that is published by a verifiable source, but it actually ends up with a system rather similar to ours.

:::I think you are wrong to single out artists as beneficiaries of this process, because I can think of at least two cases where exclusion was denied to artists (due to art theft and fraud, respectively). It may be true that artists are more likely to ''request'' exclusion, but that's a different matter.

:::Making a general rule is the easy way out, and I'd be fine with that if everyone agreed with it. However, this is not the case - there are some people who think that WikiFur should allow everyone complete exclusion, some who think we should not allow any exclusion, and some (seemingly the majority) who can go either way depending on the situation. It is impossible to please everyone all the time, but allowing the community to decide who should not be eligible for exclusion and exactly what that implies in each individual situation has worked out well enough so far. --[[User:GreenReaper|GreenReaper]]([[User talk:GreenReaper|talk]]) 23:59, 13 November 2007 (UTC)

::::The reason I include the artists is mostly of personal observation and opinion of the social workings of the furry fandom, really. Artists and creators are the main reason this fandom exists, so obviously they get placed on a higher totem than anyone else. So, naturally, they tend to benefit the most from... well, essentially anything the fandom has to offer! But when an artist is found to have stolen something-- traced, art-theft, things of that nature (especially when it comes to '''other''' furry artists)-- their place on the totem is essentially taken down, once the rumors (be they fact or fiction) spread throughout our small interconnected network. And, rightfully so, they lose whatever respect they've earned.

::::So, naturally, I drift in that direction, because the fandom as a whole has a natural social bias toward artists and benefiting them. Which is why I brought it up. I still feel artists who are respected in this regard benefit from the system simply because they are the main resource of this fandom, but I'm an extreme social skeptic and pessimist, and that's not what we're debating here. :)

::::From what I gather, then, there's no way this page is going to be taken down, not necessarily because Sibe is a public figure, and not necessarily because he is simply requesting this page be taken down, but because it serves the public interest for there to be information about him. Which is a debate I've been raging for years (regarding how much of a demonic figure Sibe is), so I'm not really going to go into it because I don't want to bother going into it again, since no one seems to change their minds or opinions on the dude anyhow.

::::Sibe's usual representation is to portray him as a criminal waiting in the shadows at any moment to either pound the living hell out of someone or sexually abuse them or something like that. While he certainly doesn't have the criminal court record to back up the fact that he ''isn't'', I think many who have observed Sibe's treatment over the years will agree that the majority of his records are blown completely out of proportion.

::::With this in mind, I think we should look more carefully at how we treat this issue, considering that our role isn't necessarily to be an objective source of information, but rather one that curtails to the public interest. So we're more of a journalist institution than an encyclopedic one.

::::Therefore, considering how hot-button the issue of Sibe is, I think we should be extremely careful about how the information is portrayed. The public wants to drag Sibe's name through the mud, and I think the history surrounding him proves this. And many will spread rumors about him just because people dislike him. So at the very least, I believe we should try to make the page as informative as possible without simply saying things that he's possibly done or things people have heard that he's done (like, for example, the child-touching thing). Hersey has no place in the encyclopedia or in journalism.

::::So many words. Wiki debates are weird. [[User:Verix|Verix]] 01:21, 14 November 2007 (UTC)

:::::Our aim is to be a source of objective information on matters that are in the public interest as it pertains to furry fandom. I do not think these two goals are in conflict. What is in the public interest is debatable, but even if we do not exclude a person we should still aim to cover them as neutrally as possible, as you describe.

:::::As for hearsay, that's one thing. Actual charges are something different, and something that journalistic sources are quite willing to report (though most reputable publications would avoid implying that a person was guilty until they were convicted). --[[User:GreenReaper|GreenReaper]]([[User talk:GreenReaper|talk]]) 01:36, 14 November 2007 (UTC)

== Open editing? ==

Why isnt this article open for editing? {{unsignedIP|24.21.140.138|03:21, 20 November 2007}}

Hmm, it should be open,... No, edit its set for admins and registered users only right now. You can create an account easily by accessing this [http://furry.wikia.com/index.php?title=Special:Userlogin&type=signup page] - [[User:Spirou|Spirou]] 08:07, 20 November 2007 (UTC)

:The article itself has sadly been a target for vandalism in the past. Such as page blanking, word replacement, replacing the entire page with garbage, the subject of the article turning vandal despite previous consensus against removal of information, and so on. So to help protect against such, we locked out anonymous edits on this article.

:We're in the middle of a new review about Sibe's most recent request for the page to have info clipped out or blanked. Its a very long discussion that I can't make heads or tails of right now. ^^; I don't know how it'll come out in the end.

:If you want to edit the article you have a few options. One of these options is to post the information you want to add or remove here and discuss why you think it needs to be added/removed.

:Have a nice day and happy editing! --[[User:Markus|Markus]]([[User talk:Markus|talk]]) 08:25, 20 November 2007 (UTC)

== Request for removal or reworking from subject (part deux) ==

Reverted Sibe's edits as we haven't have had a consensus regarding this article. We should put to rest the continuing queries about how much of the information currently present needs rewording/reworking/tweaking, etc... (a massive cleanup wouldn't hurt either,)... [[User:Spirou|Spirou]] 07:03, 8 December 2007 (UTC)

:I don't see any logic to removing the subject's real name, as there hardly seems to be a separation of fan and RL identity, and he has uploaded a photograph of himself. I'm inclined to think unrelated offences should be summarized down or cut, in the same sort of way as i'm for summarizing down or cutting long lists of jobs or school accomplishments; they don't seem particularly relevant to a description about a-person-in-the-context-of-furry, nor particularly interesting to random readers. -- [[User:Sine|Sine]] 18:51, 8 December 2007 (UTC)

Hi, Sibe here. Im going to delete the timeline and actually write an article that includes all the elements of the timeline.

==Sibe Bans==

I have removed the ban information from Euroference, as well as the time stipulation from " -- from 2002" . I had someone tell me I'm a rumormonger what not, and I used Wikifur for information, and I found this information to be unsourced. Please either source the material or do not post it. Remember that no matter the negativity of the person in question, the goal of wikia sites is to maintain NPOV as much as possible. Thanks! [[User:Redcard|Redcard]] 08:23, 25 December 2007 (UTC)

:Random note - the information about Eurofurence was added by [[User:145.253.192.98|145.253.192.98]] (a German IP), however this user has not made any other edits that would establish their identity for sourcing. --[[User:GreenReaper|GreenReaper]]([[User talk:GreenReaper|talk]]) 17:18, 25 December 2007 (UTC)

As was told to me by another fur who works security at major conventions, Sibe is favmous for "declaring he's been banned from various events." The timeline you have is actually incomplete in that regard, but a lot of it is kept behind the scenes. Also, he has been known to use proxies to manuever his identity and make it appear like he is somewhere else for the purpose of increasing his "story." I don't think he was banned from EF. I think that's just him "Sibeing" us. [[User:71.228.202.200|71.228.202.200]] 02:34, 26 December 2007 (UTC)

Above is me. [[User:Redcard|Redcard]] 02:35, 26 December 2007 (UTC)

== Why am I banned for 24 hours? ==

Why am I not allowed to add information to the timeline? Why am I not allowed to clarify the sentance structure in the timeline. The rape allegations are pertinent, as well as the information about when i went to anthrocon in 99.

I know that its takes away from the tone of "hit article on sibe" but Im more of a multifaceted person then a rap sheet.

I would like not to be banned when I add true things to the article.

Isnt that what this is supposed to be about? Actual events.

Or is this just a sibe hitjob? Either way, Id love to know.

:The page was locked - as noted in the history. If you had been banned, it would not have been possible for you to edit ''this'' page either.
:In general, pages should only be locked when other attempts at communication are not working, or in the case of actual vandalism (and not mere content disputes). The purpose is to bring parties to discussion here, on the talk page, where a consensus about what information should be in the article can be hammered out between parties. Arguing in revert edit summaries tends to be counterproductive. --[[User:GreenReaper|GreenReaper]]([[User talk:GreenReaper|talk]]) 23:55, 23 January 2008 (UTC)

== Use of references in debates about facts ==

The presence of multiple {{tl|fact}} tags do not make "undisputed facts" seem very convincing. Obviously, someone ''does'' consider them questionable, or at least in need of substantiation. If quoting facts and statements from a report, please add a reference. Web-accessible ones are preferable, but failing that a reference to a paper document that others have some means of accessing is fine.

I am aware that there is other information in this article that could be similarly criticized. WikiFur generally allows original research as long as no editing parties have issues with its current presentation. If they '''do''', then the editor with the problem with it should remove it (having done a quick check of other references where it may have been mentioned in case they can be used - multiple lines can be tied to a single reference, see the VINElink example). It is up to the party claiming a fact's correctness to provide references, if and when they replace it; otherwise, its presence should not be enforced.

This is best done in cases where the truth is being fabricated or misrepresented - removing information that you ''know'' to be true and a fair representation tends to lead to it being referenced, as we have seen before. --[[User:GreenReaper|GreenReaper]]([[User talk:GreenReaper|talk]]) 23:55, 23 January 2008 (UTC)

--------------
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.

Evil Sibe

2008-06-07T17:07:00Z

Sibe: No evidence. Guy who made the claim was a tweaker.

[[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 that of a [[Siberian Husky]], the [[dog]] breed from which he derived his name.

== Controversy ==

==== Trolling and wares ====

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 [[:Category:Artists|furry artists]] from 2001 through 2006, that has permanently cemented his current reputation with the fandom with this subsequent actions.

==== Bans ====

He also has the dubious unique honor of having been banned by at a major and some minor [[convention]]s - [[Further Confusion]]. 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]] 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>

The comic ''[[West Corner Of the Park (comic)|West Corner of the Park]]'' has depicted Sibe as a giant slug,<ref>http://www.graphxpress.com/cgi-bin/wcotp.cgi?date=20060319</ref><ref>http://www.graphxpress.com/cgi-bin/wcotp.cgi?date=20011110</ref><ref>http://www.graphxpress.com/cgi-bin/wcotp.cgi?date=20020107</ref> although this includes an element of artistic license.

==== Timeline ====

[[Image:Sibe.jpg|right|thumb|Sibe: "Big snugly husky dog that luvs everyone. <3"]]
*'''9 December 1995''': Sibe arrested for Assault in the Fourth Degree against his father. He was sentenced to three months probation, 16 hours community service (time served), and lost his right to possess firearms in Washington State. Terms of his probation include not engaging in unwanted physical contact with family members and others, typical conditions for a juvenile convicted of Assault in the Fourth Degree.
*'''6 March 1996''': Sibe is again arrested for DV-Assault 4 against his father. The hearing was delayed due to him being checked into a psychiatric institution in the state of Idaho. It is currently unknown how long he was in the institution. A warrant was issued for his arrest for failure to appear and was valid for almost 18 months until he filed for quashing the warrant on his 18th birthday for the juvenile court's lack of jurisdiction. The King County Prosecutor's office declined to prosecute him in adult court for that incident and the case was dismissed.
*'''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 concerning 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.
*'''6 March 2001''': After Sibe had already lost the right to possess firearms in the state of Washington, he is arrested for violating ORS (short for Oregon Revised Statute) 166.370, possession of a loaded firearm in a public building, specifically Herald College in Portland, OR. He possessed a shotgun on the grounds of an educational institution in his duffel bag, which is illegal unless you fall into one of the exceptions in the statute. He is given pre-trial intervention/diversion, where if he had not been arrested for any further crimes, his charge would have been dismissed.
[[Image:PafSibeBadge.jpg|right|thumb|Sibe, by [[Chris Goodwin]]]]
*'''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.
*'''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 on [[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.
*'''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).
*'''May 2002''': A warrant is issued for the arrest of Sibe for failure to appear in court in Issaquah, Washington concerning his reckless driving charge. This was not taken care of until September 2004.
*'''3 May 2002''': A hearing is held in regards to possible release. His attorney identifies Sibe as having significant psychiatric problems, including being diagnosed as having bipolar disorder by two different psychiatrists in his youth. Disciplinary problems include: Fighting, flooding his cell with water causing $1500 worth of damage, failing to follow directions of jail deputies. As a result of his disciplinary problems, he was put under lock-down. Judge Beckman orders the jail to allow a psychiatrist into the jail for his psychiatric care.
*'''5 December 2002''': Sibe is sentenced to 36 months of probation plus time served, and is ordered to obey all laws, restricted internet usage, and to not use drugs, among other provisions.
*'''7 November 2003''': [[Gray Coyote]] files a "sexual assault" report with police against Sibe,{{fact}} and recruits a few local furries to file sexual assault reports as well.{{fact}} Police find no merit in his accusation, partly due to his relative size and weight, and partly because in his report he made no attempt to stop Sibe's advances, merely claiming that Sibe was "dominant and aggressive."{{fact}}
*'''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.
*'''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.
*'''November 2004''': Sibe moves to Bellevue, Washington from Portland, Oregon and did not notify his probation judge.
*'''6 December 2004''': Sibe is sentenced to 1 year of probation by the King County District Court for his reckless driving case from 2001.
*'''28 December 2004''': After being unable to find Sibe's current address due to lack of notification of his move to Washington State in late November 2004, and failing to appear to a probation hearing due to a report of illegal activities by the [[Wikipedia:Federal Bureau of Investigation|FBI]], Judge Douglas Beckman of the Multnomah County Circuit Court issues a warrant for Sibe's arrest with no bail allowed. The warrant was not extraditable outside of Oregon.
*'''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.
*'''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.chibilinnet.net/lolinternet/munchies_problem.mp3 [[Wikipedia:MP3|MP3]] of the conversation between Sibe and Munchie] (Link updated May 31 2008)</ref>
*'''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''.
*'''September 2005''': Sibe moves back to Portland, Oregon from Bellevue, Washington. He does not notify his probation judge in Washington of his new address in Oregon. In this month his Oregon warrant was also updated to extraditable from Washington, Idaho, and Western Montana as part of a change in policy in regards dealing with felony offenses against persons in Oregon, due to the ability of criminals previous to this to run to Washington and evade capture.
*'''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]]]]
*'''5 February 2006''': Sibe was booked into Multnomah County (Oregon) Justice Center by officers of the [http://www.portlandonline.com/police/?&c=29708 Portland Police Bureau] for the warrant issued on 28 December 2004. As he now had a fixed address (Multnomah County Justice Center), he was process-served for various lawsuits and orders of protection. Despite speculation on various sites that the "DV-Coercion" notation in the booking log indicated that he committed a new domestic violence offense, particularly against his mate Bound Wolf, the real reason why Multnomah County Sheriff's noted the DV-Coercion in his booking file was due to the charge that he was convicted of in 2002 in exchange for his plea of no contest. Whether this was intentional or an error on their part is unknown.
*'''14 February 2006''': Sibe's Greatest Journal was deleted, though not by Sibe since he was still in custody at the time. It was not suspended by Greatest Journal.
*'''17 February 2006''': A hearing for violation of probation is convened at 9:30AM at Multnomah County Circuit Courthouse. Judge Douglas Beckman presiding. Sibe stipulates to evading the warrant for his arrest and continued to abscond, use of internet outside of Judge Beckman's authorization, and stipulation to the use of marijuana, as well as traffic violations. Judge Beckman, during the defense attorney's statements about Sibe's accomplishments of having a job for nearly a year, brought up the issue of police reports filed for sexual abuse and misconduct by four different persons, including the father of a 2 year old girl who accused Sibe of sexually abusing his daughter. The father of the 2 year old was deported and as a result the case was dropped due to the lack of witnesses or evidence (the daughter was removed from the country by ICE with her father). His claim that he touched his daughter in broad daylight in the parking lot in front of his apartment while getting groceries out of his car were the claims of a methamphetamine addled mind. His computer is ordered seized and turned over to the Federal Bureau of Investigation for forensic examination. The hearing is held over until 7 March 2006 for hearing. Sibe offers up a Compaq laptop as his personal computer.
*'''7 March 2006''': Due to Sibe's misrepresenting to the court that his Compaq laptop was his only personal computer (the FBI forensics examiners determined that the computer was a "brick," "ancient", and had only been used three times since 2003 for dial up usage), along with the stipulations to his violations of probation, he receives a 6 month jail sentence for the probation violations, plus 3 years' parole. His 30 days held at the Multnomah County (Oregon) Justice Center thus far does not count as time served toward this sentence due primarily to his misrepresentation to the court.
*'''23 March 2006''': An email is sent from [http://www.vinelink.com VINElink] victim notification services that he was released from Oregon Department of Corrections. However, he is still in Multnomah County Jail until 3 September 2006 according to Multnomah County Jail Custody Records, and his other entries into VINElink indicate that he is still in the custody of Multnomah County Jail. A search through [http://www.inmatereleases.org/ Multnomah County Jail Inmate Early Releases Database] indicates that he has not been released, either.
*'''12 May 2007''': Sibe announces that a warrant for his arrest has been issued, as he has avoided seeing his probation officer due to continued failures to pass a [[Wikipedia:urinalysis|urinalysis]] since the prior September.<ref>''[http://www.greatestjournal.com/users/evilsibe/112095.html Warrant for my arrest], Sibe (12 May 2007)</ref> He suggests that he is likely to do "a little time in county", and offers to post his address so people can write to him in jail.

Evil Sibe

2008-06-07T17:01:16Z

Sibe: This is patently false.

[[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 that of a [[Siberian Husky]], the [[dog]] breed from which he derived his name.

== Controversy ==

==== Trolling and wares ====

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 [[:Category:Artists|furry artists]] from 2001 through 2006, that has permanently cemented his current reputation with the fandom with this subsequent actions.

==== Bans ====

He also has the dubious unique honor of having been banned by at a major and some minor [[convention]]s - [[Further Confusion]]. 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]] 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>

The comic ''[[West Corner Of the Park (comic)|West Corner of the Park]]'' has depicted Sibe as a giant slug,<ref>http://www.graphxpress.com/cgi-bin/wcotp.cgi?date=20060319</ref><ref>http://www.graphxpress.com/cgi-bin/wcotp.cgi?date=20011110</ref><ref>http://www.graphxpress.com/cgi-bin/wcotp.cgi?date=20020107</ref> although this includes an element of artistic license.

==== Timeline ====

[[Image:Sibe.jpg|right|thumb|Sibe: "Big snugly husky dog that luvs everyone. <3"]]
*'''9 December 1995''': Sibe arrested for Assault in the Fourth Degree against his father. He was sentenced to three months probation, 16 hours community service (time served), and lost his right to possess firearms in Washington State. Terms of his probation include not engaging in unwanted physical contact with family members and others, typical conditions for a juvenile convicted of Assault in the Fourth Degree.
*'''6 March 1996''': Sibe is again arrested for DV-Assault 4 against his father. The hearing was delayed due to him being checked into a psychiatric institution in the state of Idaho. It is currently unknown how long he was in the institution. A warrant was issued for his arrest for failure to appear and was valid for almost 18 months until he filed for quashing the warrant on his 18th birthday for the juvenile court's lack of jurisdiction. The King County Prosecutor's office declined to prosecute him in adult court for that incident and the case was dismissed.
*'''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 concerning 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.
*'''6 March 2001''': After Sibe had already lost the right to possess firearms in the state of Washington, he is arrested for violating ORS (short for Oregon Revised Statute) 166.370, possession of a loaded firearm in a public building, specifically Herald College in Portland, OR. He possessed a shotgun on the grounds of an educational institution in his duffel bag, which is illegal unless you fall into one of the exceptions in the statute. He is given pre-trial intervention/diversion, where if he had not been arrested for any further crimes, his charge would have been dismissed.
[[Image:PafSibeBadge.jpg|right|thumb|Sibe, by [[Chris Goodwin]]]]
*'''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.
*'''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 on [[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.
*'''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).
*'''May 2002''': A warrant is issued for the arrest of Sibe for failure to appear in court in Issaquah, Washington concerning his reckless driving charge. This was not taken care of until September 2004.
*'''3 May 2002''': A hearing is held in regards to possible release. His attorney identifies Sibe as having significant psychiatric problems, including being diagnosed as having bipolar disorder by two different psychiatrists in his youth. Disciplinary problems include: Fighting, flooding his cell with water causing $1500 worth of damage, failing to follow directions of jail deputies. As a result of his disciplinary problems, he was put under lock-down. Judge Beckman orders the jail to allow a psychiatrist into the jail for his psychiatric care.
*'''5 December 2002''': Sibe is sentenced to 36 months of probation plus time served, and is ordered to obey all laws, restricted internet usage, and to not use drugs, among other provisions.
*'''7 November 2003''': [[Gray Coyote]] files a "sexual assault" report with police against Sibe,{{fact}} and recruits a few local furries to file sexual assault reports as well.{{fact}} Police find no merit in his accusation, partly due to his relative size and weight, and partly because in his report he made no attempt to stop Sibe's advances, merely claiming that Sibe was "dominant and aggressive."{{fact}}
*'''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.
*'''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.
*'''November 2004''': Sibe moves to Bellevue, Washington from Portland, Oregon and did not notify his probation judge.
*'''6 December 2004''': Sibe is sentenced to 1 year of probation by the King County District Court for his reckless driving case from 2001.
*'''28 December 2004''': After being unable to find Sibe's current address due to lack of notification of his move to Washington State in late November 2004, and failing to appear to a probation hearing due to a report of illegal activities by the [[Wikipedia:Federal Bureau of Investigation|FBI]], Judge Douglas Beckman of the Multnomah County Circuit Court issues a warrant for Sibe's arrest with no bail allowed. The warrant was not extraditable outside of Oregon.
*'''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.
*'''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.chibilinnet.net/lolinternet/munchies_problem.mp3 [[Wikipedia:MP3|MP3]] of the conversation between Sibe and Munchie] (Link updated May 31 2008)</ref>
*'''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''.
*'''September 2005''': Sibe moves back to Portland, Oregon from Bellevue, Washington. He does not notify his probation judge in Washington of his new address in Oregon. In this month his Oregon warrant was also updated to extraditable from Washington, Idaho, and Western Montana as part of a change in policy in regards dealing with felony offenses against persons in Oregon, due to the ability of criminals previous to this to run to Washington and evade capture.
*'''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]]]]
*'''5 February 2006''': Sibe was booked into Multnomah County (Oregon) Justice Center by officers of the [http://www.portlandonline.com/police/?&c=29708 Portland Police Bureau] for the warrant issued on 28 December 2004. As he now had a fixed address (Multnomah County Justice Center), he was process-served for various lawsuits and orders of protection. Despite speculation on various sites that the "DV-Coercion" notation in the booking log indicated that he committed a new domestic violence offense, particularly against his mate Bound Wolf, the real reason why Multnomah County Sheriff's noted the DV-Coercion in his booking file was due to the charge that he was convicted of in 2002 in exchange for his plea of no contest. Whether this was intentional or an error on their part is unknown.
*'''14 February 2006''': Sibe's Greatest Journal was deleted, though not by Sibe since he was still in custody at the time. It was not suspended by Greatest Journal.
*'''17 February 2006''': A hearing for violation of probation is convened at 9:30AM at Multnomah County Circuit Courthouse. Judge Douglas Beckman presiding. Sibe stipulates to evading the warrant for his arrest and continued to abscond, use of internet outside of Judge Beckman's authorization, and stipulation to the use of marijuana, as well as traffic violations. Judge Beckman, during the defense attorney's statements about Sibe's accomplishments of having a job for nearly a year, brought up the issue of police reports filed for sexual abuse and misconduct by four different persons, including the father of a 2 year old girl who accused Sibe of sexually abusing his daughter. The father of the 2 year old was deported and as a result the case was dropped due to the lack of witnesses (the daughter was removed from the country by ICE with her father). His computer is ordered seized and turned over to the Federal Bureau of Investigation for forensic examination. The hearing is held over until 7 March 2006 for hearing. Sibe offers up a Compaq laptop as his personal computer.
*'''7 March 2006''': Due to Sibe's misrepresenting to the court that his Compaq laptop was his only personal computer (the FBI forensics examiners determined that the computer was a "brick," "ancient", and had only been used three times since 2003 for dial up usage), along with the stipulations to his violations of probation, he receives a 6 month jail sentence for the probation violations, plus 3 years' parole. His 30 days held at the Multnomah County (Oregon) Justice Center thus far does not count as time served toward this sentence due primarily to his misrepresentation to the court.
*'''23 March 2006''': An email is sent from [http://www.vinelink.com VINElink] victim notification services that he was released from Oregon Department of Corrections. However, he is still in Multnomah County Jail until 3 September 2006 according to Multnomah County Jail Custody Records, and his other entries into VINElink indicate that he is still in the custody of Multnomah County Jail. A search through [http://www.inmatereleases.org/ Multnomah County Jail Inmate Early Releases Database] indicates that he has not been released, either.
*'''12 May 2007''': Sibe announces that a warrant for his arrest has been issued, as he has avoided seeing his probation officer due to continued failures to pass a [[Wikipedia:urinalysis|urinalysis]] since the prior September.<ref>''[http://www.greatestjournal.com/users/evilsibe/112095.html Warrant for my arrest], Sibe (12 May 2007)</ref> He suggests that he is likely to do "a little time in county", and offers to post his address so people can write to him in jail.

'''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 that of a [[Siberian Husky]], the [[dog]] breed from which he derived his name.

Sibe attends Anthrocon 99 on a shoestring budget. Raps with silfur. Buys 90 bucks worth of porn from James hardiman. Asked wookie "Is it just line art and cheezy photoshop tricks?" And then he pulled out some oil painting. His e-penis is huge. He got to help change Mathias Blackwolfs tire. Went to some furries house and watched that skuck chick bone herself with that plushie dildo thingy . She came like *Gallons* and literally like 8 furries just watched. It was like.. wow.... And apparently sibe kept the rag that she came all over as a souvenir. Pretty gross huh? Anyway, sibe also hung out with some dude who took him down to a fur friendly copy store so I could get some full color laser copies of my 90 dollar investment :) He got copies of all his investment as well. Sibe got really drunk and hung out in a wife beater. He was tickled non-consensually by all five members of his room until he almost peed. Didn't buy a sibe badge from anyone. He apparently had a blast though.

== Controversy ==

==== Trolling and wares ====

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 [[:Category:Artists|furry artists]] from 2001 through 2006, that has permanently cemented his current reputation with the fandom with this subsequent actions.

==== Bans ====

He also has the dubious unique honor of having been banned by at a major and some minor [[convention]]s - [[Further Confusion]]. 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]] 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>

The comic ''[[West Corner Of the Park (comic)|West Corner of the Park]]'' has depicted Sibe as a giant slug,<ref>http://www.graphxpress.com/cgi-bin/wcotp.cgi?date=20060319</ref><ref>http://www.graphxpress.com/cgi-bin/wcotp.cgi?date=20011110</ref><ref>http://www.graphxpress.com/cgi-bin/wcotp.cgi?date=20020107</ref> although this includes an element of artistic license.

==== Timeline ====

[[Image:Sibe.jpg|right|thumb|Sibe: "Big snugly husky dog that luvs everyone. <3"]]
*'''9 December 1995''': Sibe arrested for Assault in the Fourth Degree against his father. He was sentenced to three months probation, 16 hours community service (time served), and lost his right to possess firearms in Washington State. Terms of his probation include not engaging in unwanted physical contact with family members and others, typical conditions for a juvenile convicted of Assault in the Fourth Degree.
*'''6 March 1996''': Sibe is again arrested for DV-Assault 4 against his father. The hearing was delayed due to him being checked into a psychiatric institution in the state of Idaho. It is currently unknown how long he was in the institution. A warrant was issued for his arrest for failure to appear and was valid for almost 18 months until he filed for quashing the warrant on his 18th birthday for the juvenile court's lack of jurisdiction. The King County Prosecutor's office declined to prosecute him in adult court for that incident and the case was dismissed.
*'''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 concerning 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.
*'''6 March 2001''': After Sibe had already lost the right to possess firearms in the state of Washington, he is arrested for violating ORS (short for Oregon Revised Statute) 166.370, possession of a loaded firearm in a public building, specifically Herald College in Portland, OR. He possessed a shotgun on the grounds of an educational institution in his duffel bag, which is illegal unless you fall into one of the exceptions in the statute. He is given pre-trial intervention/diversion, where if he had not been arrested for any further crimes, his charge would have been dismissed.
[[Image:PafSibeBadge.jpg|right|thumb|Sibe, by [[Chris Goodwin]]]]
*'''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.
*'''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 on [[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.
*'''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).
*'''May 2002''': A warrant is issued for the arrest of Sibe for failure to appear in court in Issaquah, Washington concerning his reckless driving charge. This was not taken care of until September 2004.
*'''3 May 2002''': A hearing is held in regards to possible release. His attorney identifies Sibe as having significant psychiatric problems, including being diagnosed as having bipolar disorder by two different psychiatrists in his youth. Disciplinary problems include: Fighting, flooding his cell with water causing $1500 worth of damage, failing to follow directions of jail deputies. As a result of his disciplinary problems, he was put under lock-down. Judge Beckman orders the jail to allow a psychiatrist into the jail for his psychiatric care.
*'''5 December 2002''': Sibe is sentenced to 36 months of probation plus time served, and is ordered to obey all laws, restricted internet usage, and to not use drugs, among other provisions.
*'''7 November 2003''': [[Lonnie Allen Wilson]] aka http://graycoyote.livejournal.com/ files a "sexual assault" report with police against Sibe and recruits a few local furries to file sexual assault reports as well..{{fact}} Police find no merit on the accusation due to the fact that Lonnie was a 7 foot tall 400 lb man, and in his report he made no attempt to stop Sibe's sexual advances, he just claimed he was "Dominant and aggressive."{{fact}}
*'''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 Ross Reddick 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.
*'''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.
*'''November 2004''': Sibe moves to Bellevue, Washington from Portland, Oregon and did not notify his probation judge.
*'''6 December 2004''': Sibe is sentenced to 1 year of probation by the King County District Court for his reckless driving case from 2001.
*'''28 December 2004''': After being unable to find Sibe's current address due to lack of notification of his move to Washington State in late November 2004, and failing to appear to a probation hearing due to a report of illegal activities by the [[Wikipedia:Federal Bureau of Investigation|FBI]], Judge Douglas Beckman of the Multnomah County Circuit Court issues a warrant for Sibe's arrest with no bail allowed. The warrant was not extraditable outside of Oregon.
*'''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.
*'''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>
*'''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''.
*'''September 2005''': Sibe moves back to Portland, Oregon from Bellevue, Washington. He does not notify his probation judge in Washington of his new address in Oregon. In this month his Oregon warrant was also updated to extraditable from Washington, Idaho, and Western Montana as part of a change in policy in regards dealing with felony offenses against persons in Oregon, due to the ability of criminals previous to this to run to Washington and evade capture.
*'''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]]]]
*'''5 February 2006''': Sibe was booked into Multnomah County (Oregon) Justice Center by officers of the [http://www.portlandonline.com/police/?&c=29708 Portland Police Bureau] for the warrant issued on 28 December 2004. As he now had a fixed address (Multnomah County Justice Center), he was process-served for various lawsuits and orders of protection. Despite speculation on various sites that the "DV-Coercion" notation in the booking log indicated that he committed a new domestic violence offense, particularly against his mate Bound Wolf, the real reason why Multnomah County Sheriff's noted the DV-Coercion in his booking file was due to the charge that he was convicted of in 2002 in exchange for his plea of no contest. Whether this was intentional or an error on their part is unknown.
*'''14 February 2006''': Sibe's Greatest Journal was deleted, though not by Sibe since he was still in custody at the time. It was not suspended by Greatest Journal.
*'''17 February 2006''': A hearing for violation of probation is convened at 9:30AM at Multnomah County Circuit Courthouse. Judge Douglas Beckman presiding. Sibe stipulates to evading the warrant for his arrest and continued to abscond, use of internet outside of Judge Beckman's authorization, and stipulation to the use of marijuana, as well as traffic violations. Judge Beckman, during the defense attorney's statements about Sibe's accomplishments of having a job for nearly a year, brought up the issue of police reports filed for sexual abuse and misconduct by four different persons, including the father of a 2 year old girl who accused Sibe of sexually abusing his daughter. The father of the 2 year old was deported and as a result the case was dropped due to the lack of witnesses (the daughter was removed from the country by ICE with her father). His computer is ordered seized and turned over to the Federal Bureau of Investigation for forensic examination. The hearing is held over until 7 March 2006 for hearing. Sibe offers up a Compaq laptop as his personal computer.
*'''7 March 2006''': Due to Sibe's misrepresenting to the court that his Compaq laptop was his only personal computer (the FBI forensics examiners determined that the computer was a "brick," "ancient", and had only been used three times since 2003 for dial up usage), along with the stipulations to his violations of probation, he receives a 6 month jail sentence for the probation violations, plus 3 years' parole. His 30 days held at the Multnomah County (Oregon) Justice Center thus far does not count as time served toward this sentence due primarily to his misrepresentation to the court.
*'''23 March 2006''': An email is sent from [http://www.vinelink.com VINElink] victim notification services that he was released from Oregon Department of Corrections. However, he is still in Multnomah County Jail until 3 September 2006 according to Multnomah County Jail Custody Records, and his other entries into VINElink indicate that he is still in the custody of Multnomah County Jail. A search through [http://www.inmatereleases.org/ Multnomah County Jail Inmate Early Releases Database] indicates that he has not been released, either.
*'''1 September 2006''': Sibe is released from jail and put under the supervision of the Oregon Department of Corrections for a period of 3 years. The slightly early release is due to the calculated release date not being on a government business day.
*'''12 May 2007''': Sibe announces that a warrant for his arrest has been issued, as he has avoided seeing his probation officer due to continued failures to pass a [[Wikipedia:urinalysis|urinalysis]] since the prior September.<ref>''[http://www.greatestjournal.com/users/evilsibe/112095.html Warrant for my arrest], Sibe (12 May 2007)</ref> He suggests that he is likely to do "a little time in county", and offers to post his address so people can write to him in jail. He is listed as an absconder from community supervision on VINElink.<ref name="VINElink">[http://www.vinelink.com/ VINElink offender detail] (search Oregon for Ross Reddick), accessed 19 August 2007</ref>
*'''28 May 2007''': Sibe is permanently banned from the [[FurAffinity]]'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.{cite}
*'''18 August 2007''': Sibe is taken into custody under the previous warrant, and enters the [http://www.norcor.co.wasco.or.us/ Northern Oregon Regional Correctional Facilities] (NORCOR).<ref name="VINElink" />
*'''22 August 2007''': VINElink reports that Sibe has been released from NORCOR, and is back in the custody of the Multnomah County Sheriff's Office.<ref name="VINElink" />
*'''?? August 2007''': Sibe is released again from jail into the general population. He resumes his duties as a Lulz.net moderator.

Sibe: Adding to the graycoyote timeline piece.

[[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 that of a [[Siberian Husky]], the [[dog]] breed from which he derived his name.

Sibe attends Anthrocon 99 on a shoestring budget. Raps with silfur. Buys 90 bucks worth of porn from James hardiman. Asked wookie "Is it just line art and cheezy photoshop tricks?" And then he pulled out some oil painting. His e-penis is huge. He got to help change Mathias Blackwolfs tire. Went to some furries house and watched that skuck chick bone herself with that plushie dildo thingy . She came like *Gallons* and literally like 8 furries just watched. It was like.. wow.... And apparently sibe kept the rag that she came all over as a souvenir. Pretty gross huh? Anyway, sibe also hung out with some dude who took him down to a fur friendly copy store so I could get some full color laser copies of my 90 dollar investment :) He got copies of all his investment as well. Sibe got really drunk and hung out in a wife beater. He was tickled non-consensually by all five members of his room until he almost peed. Didn't buy a sibe badge from anyone. He apparently had a blast though.

*'''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.
*'''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 on [[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.
*'''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).
*'''May 2002''': A warrant is issued for the arrest of Sibe for failure to appear in court in Issaquah, Washington concerning his reckless driving charge. This was not taken care of until September 2004.
*'''3 May 2002''': A hearing is held in regards to possible release. His attorney identifies Sibe as having significant psychiatric problems, including being diagnosed as having bipolar disorder by two different psychiatrists in his youth. Disciplinary problems include: Fighting, flooding his cell with water causing $1500 worth of damage, failing to follow directions of jail deputies. As a result of his disciplinary problems, he was put under lock-down. Judge Beckman orders the jail to allow a psychiatrist into the jail for his psychiatric care.
*'''5 December 2002''': Sibe is sentenced to 36 months of probation plus time served, and is ordered to obey all laws, restricted internet usage, and to not use drugs, among other provisions.
*'''7 November 2003''': [[Lonnie Allen Wilson]] aka http://graycoyote.livejournal.com/ files a "sexual assault" report with police against Sibe and recruits a few local furries to file sexual assault reports as well..{{fact}} Police find no merit on the accusation due to the fact that Lonnie was a 7 foot tall 400 lb man, and in his report he made no attempt to stop Sibe's sexual advances, he just claimed he was "Dominant and aggressive."{{fact}}
*'''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 Ross Reddick 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.
*'''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.
*'''November 2004''': Sibe moves to Bellevue, Washington from Portland, Oregon and did not notify his probation judge.
*'''6 December 2004''': Sibe is sentenced to 1 year of probation by the King County District Court for his reckless driving case from 2001.
*'''28 December 2004''': After being unable to find Sibe's current address due to lack of notification of his move to Washington State in late November 2004, and failing to appear to a probation hearing due to a report of illegal activities by the [[Wikipedia:Federal Bureau of Investigation|FBI]], Judge Douglas Beckman of the Multnomah County Circuit Court issues a warrant for Sibe's arrest with no bail allowed. The warrant was not extraditable outside of Oregon.
*'''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.
*'''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>
*'''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''.
*'''September 2005''': Sibe moves back to Portland, Oregon from Bellevue, Washington. He does not notify his probation judge in Washington of his new address in Oregon. In this month his Oregon warrant was also updated to extraditable from Washington, Idaho, and Western Montana as part of a change in policy in regards dealing with felony offenses against persons in Oregon, due to the ability of criminals previous to this to run to Washington and evade capture.
*'''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]]]]
*'''5 February 2006''': Sibe was booked into Multnomah County (Oregon) Justice Center by officers of the [http://www.portlandonline.com/police/?&c=29708 Portland Police Bureau] for the warrant issued on 28 December 2004. As he now had a fixed address (Multnomah County Justice Center), he was process-served for various lawsuits and orders of protection. Despite speculation on various sites that the "DV-Coercion" notation in the booking log indicated that he committed a new domestic violence offense, particularly against his mate Bound Wolf, the real reason why Multnomah County Sheriff's noted the DV-Coercion in his booking file was due to the charge that he was convicted of in 2002 in exchange for his plea of no contest. Whether this was intentional or an error on their part is unknown.
*'''14 February 2006''': Sibe's Greatest Journal was deleted, though not by Sibe since he was still in custody at the time. It was not suspended by Greatest Journal.
*'''17 February 2006''': A hearing for violation of probation is convened at 9:30AM at Multnomah County Circuit Courthouse. Judge Douglas Beckman presiding. Sibe stipulates to evading the warrant for his arrest and continued to abscond, use of internet outside of Judge Beckman's authorization, and stipulation to the use of marijuana, as well as traffic violations. Judge Beckman, during the defense attorney's statements about Sibe's accomplishments of having a job for nearly a year, brought up the issue of police reports filed for sexual abuse and misconduct by four different persons, including the father of a 2 year old girl who accused Sibe of sexually abusing his daughter. The father of the 2 year old was deported and as a result the case was dropped due to the lack of witnesses (the daughter was removed from the country by ICE with her father). His computer is ordered seized and turned over to the Federal Bureau of Investigation for forensic examination. The hearing is held over until 7 March 2006 for hearing. Sibe offers up a Compaq laptop as his personal computer.
*'''7 March 2006''': Due to Sibe's misrepresenting to the court that his Compaq laptop was his only personal computer (the FBI forensics examiners determined that the computer was a "brick," "ancient", and had only been used three times since 2003 for dial up usage), along with the stipulations to his violations of probation, he receives a 6 month jail sentence for the probation violations, plus 3 years' parole. His 30 days held at the Multnomah County (Oregon) Justice Center thus far does not count as time served toward this sentence due primarily to his misrepresentation to the court.
*'''23 March 2006''': An email is sent from [http://www.vinelink.com VINElink] victim notification services that he was released from Oregon Department of Corrections. However, he is still in Multnomah County Jail until 3 September 2006 according to Multnomah County Jail Custody Records, and his other entries into VINElink indicate that he is still in the custody of Multnomah County Jail. A search through [http://www.inmatereleases.org/ Multnomah County Jail Inmate Early Releases Database] indicates that he has not been released, either.
*'''1 September 2006''': Sibe is released from jail and put under the supervision of the Oregon Department of Corrections for a period of 3 years. The slightly early release is due to the calculated release date not being on a government business day.
*'''12 May 2007''': Sibe announces that a warrant for his arrest has been issued, as he has avoided seeing his probation officer due to continued failures to pass a [[Wikipedia:urinalysis|urinalysis]] since the prior September.<ref>''[http://www.greatestjournal.com/users/evilsibe/112095.html Warrant for my arrest], Sibe (12 May 2007)</ref> He suggests that he is likely to do "a little time in county", and offers to post his address so people can write to him in jail. He is listed as an absconder from community supervision on VINElink.<ref name="VINElink">[http://www.vinelink.com/ VINElink offender detail] (search Oregon for Ross Reddick), accessed 19 August 2007</ref>
*'''28 May 2007''': Sibe is permanently banned from the [[FurAffinity]]'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.{cite}
*'''18 August 2007''': Sibe is taken into custody under the previous warrant, and enters the [http://www.norcor.co.wasco.or.us/ Northern Oregon Regional Correctional Facilities] (NORCOR).<ref name="VINElink" />
*'''22 August 2007''': VINElink reports that Sibe has been released from NORCOR, and is back in the custody of the Multnomah County Sheriff's Office.<ref name="VINElink" />
*'''?? August 2007''': Sibe is released again from jail into the general population. He resumes his duties as a Lulz.net moderator.

Sibe: reverting my edits again. I am ADDING and CLARIFYING and addting TRUTH to the article. Please stop reverting the truth spirou.

[[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 that of a [[Siberian Husky]], the [[dog]] breed from which he derived his name.

== Controversy ==

==== Trolling and wares ====

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 [[:Category:Artists|furry artists]] from 2001 through 2006, that has permanently cemented his current reputation with the fandom with this subsequent actions.

==== Bans ====

He also has the dubious unique honor of having been banned by at a major and some minor [[convention]]s - [[Further Confusion]]. 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]] 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>

The comic ''[[West Corner Of the Park (comic)|West Corner of the Park]]'' has depicted Sibe as a giant slug,<ref>http://www.graphxpress.com/cgi-bin/wcotp.cgi?date=20060319</ref><ref>http://www.graphxpress.com/cgi-bin/wcotp.cgi?date=20011110</ref><ref>http://www.graphxpress.com/cgi-bin/wcotp.cgi?date=20020107</ref> although this includes an element of artistic license.

==== Timeline ====

[[Image:Sibe.jpg|right|thumb|Sibe: "Big snugly husky dog that luvs everyone. <3"]]
*'''9 December 1995''': Sibe arrested for Assault in the Fourth Degree against his father. He was sentenced to three months probation, 16 hours community service (time served), and lost his right to possess firearms in Washington State. Terms of his probation include not engaging in unwanted physical contact with family members and others, typical conditions for a juvinile convicted of Assault in the Fourth Degree.
*'''6 March 1996''': Sibe is again arrested for DV-Assault 4 against his father. The hearing was delayed due to him being checked into a psychiatric institution in the state of Idaho. It is currently unknown how long he was in the institution. A warrant was issued for his arrest for failure to appear and was valid for almost 18 months until he filed for quashing the warrant on his 18th birthday for the juvenile court's lack of jurisdiction. The King County Prosecutor's office declined to prosecute him in adult court for that incident and the case was dismissed.
*'''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.
*'''1-3 July, 1999'': Sibe attends Anthrocon 99 on a shoestring budget. Raps with silfur. Buys 90 bucks worth of porn from James hardiman. Asked wookie "Is it just line art and cheezy photoshop tricks?" And then he pulled out some oil painting. His e-penis is huge. He got to help change Mathias Blackwolfs tire. Went to some furries house and watched that skuck chick bone herself with that plushie dildo thingy . She came like *Gallons* and literally like 8 furries just watched. It was like.. wow.... And apparently sibe kept the rag that she came all over as a souviner. Pretty gross huh? Anyways, sibe also hung out with some dude who took him down to a fur friendly copy store so i could get some full color laser copies of my 90 dollar investment :) He got copies of all his investment as well. Sibe got really drunk and hung out in a wife beater. He was tickled non-consentually by all five members of his room until he almost peed. Didnt buy a sibe badge from anyone. He apparently had a blast though.
*'''6 March 2001''': After Sibe had already lost the right to possess firearms in the state of Washington, he is arrested for violating ORS (short for Oregon Revised Statute) 166.370, possession of a loaded firearm in a public building, specifically Herald College in Portland, OR. He possessed a shotgun on the grounds of an educational institution in his duffel bag, which is illegal unless you fall into one of the exceptions in the statute. He is given pre-trial intervention/diversion, where if he had not been arrested for any further crimes, his charge would have been dismissed.
[[Image:PafSibeBadge.jpg|right|thumb|Sibe, by [[Chris Goodwin]]]]
*'''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.
*'''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.
*'''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).
*'''May 2002''': A warrant is issued for the arrest of Sibe for failure to appear in court in Issaquah, Washington in regards to his reckless driving charge. This was not taken care of until September 2004.
*'''3 May 2002''': A hearing is held in regards to possible release. His attorney identifies Sibe as having significant psychiatric problems, including being diagnosed as having bipolar disorder by two different psychiatrists in his youth. Disciplinary problems include: Fighting, flooding his cell with water causing $1500 worth of damage, failing to follow directions of jail deputies. As a result of his disciplinary problems, he was put under lock-down. Judge Beckman orders the jail to allow a psychiatrist into the jail for his psychiatric care.
*'''5 December 2002''': Sibe is sentenced to 36 months of probation plus time served, and is ordered to obey all laws, restricted internet usage, and to not use drugs, among other provisions.
*'''7 November 2003''': Lonnie Allen Wilson (aka http://graycoyote.livejournal.com/) Makes a false rape report to a police officer. After giving the statement to the officer, the officer concludes that it was "rough gay sex" and not forcible rape. Meanwhile Lonnie Wilson is recruiting other furries to bring a group rape suit against sibe, attemting to ruin his sexual credibility in the hypersexual world of the furry fandom.
*'''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 Ross Reddick 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.
*'''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.
*'''November 2004''': Sibe moves to Bellevue, Washington from Portland, Oregon and did not notify his probation judge.
*'''6 December 2004''': Sibe is sentenced to 1 year of probation by the King County District Court for his reckless driving case from 2001.
*'''28 December 2004''': After being unable to find Sibe's current address due to lack of notification of his move to Washington State in late November 2004, and failing to appear to a probation hearing due to a report of illegal activities by the [[Wikipedia:Federal Bureau of Investigation|FBI]], Judge Douglas Beckman of the Multnomah County Circuit Court issues a warrant for Sibe's arrest with no bail allowed. The warrant was not extraditable outside of Oregon.
*'''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.
*'''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>
*'''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''.
*'''September 2005''': Sibe moves back to Portland, Oregon from Bellevue, Washington. He does not notify his probation judge in Washington of his new address in Oregon. In this month his Oregon warrant was also updated to extraditable from Washington, Idaho, and Western Montana as part of a change in policy in regards dealing with felony offenses against persons in Oregon, due to the ability of criminals previous to this to run to Washington and evade capture.
*'''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]]]]
*'''5 February 2006''': Sibe was booked into Multnomah County (Oregon) Justice Center by officers of the [http://www.portlandonline.com/police/?&c=29708 Portland Police Bureau] for the warrant issued on 28 December 2004. As he now had a fixed address (Multnomah County Justice Center), he was process-served for various lawsuits and orders of protection. Despite speculation on various sites that the "DV-Coercion" notation in the booking log indicated that he committed a new domestic violence offense, particularly against his mate Bound Wolf, the real reason why Multnomah County Sheriff's noted the DV-Coercion in his booking file was due to the charge that he was convicted of in 2002 in exchange for his plea of no contest. Whether this was intentional or an error on their part is unknown.
*'''14 February 2006''': Sibe's Greatest Journal was deleted, though not by Sibe since he was still in custody at the time. It was not suspended by Greatest Journal.
*'''17 February 2006''': A hearing for violation of probation is convened at 9:30AM at Multnomah County Circuit Courthouse. Judge Douglas Beckman presiding. Sibe stipulates to evading the warrant for his arrest and continued to abscond, use of internet outside of Judge Beckman's authorization, and stipulation to the use of marijuana, as well as traffic violations. Judge Beckman, during the defense attorney's statements about Sibe's accomplishments of having a job for nearly a year, brought up the issue of police reports filed for sexual abuse and misconduct by four different persons, including the father of a 2 year old girl who accused Sibe of sexually abusing his daughter. The father of the 2 year old was deported and as a result the case was dropped due to the lack of witnesses (the daughter was removed from the country by ICE with her father). His computer is ordered seized and turned over to the Federal Bureau of Investigation for forensic examination. The hearing is held over until 7 March 2006 for hearing. Sibe offers up a Compaq laptop as his personal computer.
*'''7 March 2006''': Due to Sibe's misrepresenting to the court that his Compaq laptop was his only personal computer (the FBI forensics examiners determined that the computer was a "brick," "ancient", and had only been used three times since 2003 for dial up usage), along with the stipulations to his violations of probation, he receives a 6 month jail sentence for the probation violations, plus 3 years' parole. His 30 days held at the Multnomah County (Oregon) Justice Center thus far does not count as time served toward this sentence due primarily to his misrepresentation to the court.
*'''23 March 2006''': An email is sent from [http://www.vinelink.com VINElink] victim notification services that he was released from Oregon Department of Corrections. However, he is still in Multnomah County Jail until 3 September 2006 according to Multnomah County Jail Custody Records, and his other entries into VINElink indicate that he is still in the custody of Multnomah County Jail. A search through [http://www.inmatereleases.org/ Multnomah County Jail Inmate Early Releases Database] indicates that he has not been released, either.
*'''1 September 2006''': Sibe is released from jail and put under the supervision of the Oregon Department of Corrections for a period of 3 years. The slightly early release is due to the calculated release date not being on a government business day.
*'''12 May 2007''': Sibe announces that a warrant for his arrest has been issued, as he has avoided seeing his probation officer due to continued failures to pass a [[Wikipedia:urinalysis|urinalysis]] since the prior September.<ref>''[http://www.greatestjournal.com/users/evilsibe/112095.html Warrant for my arrest], Sibe (12 May 2007)</ref> He suggests that he is likely to do "a little time in county", and offers to post his address so people can write to him in jail.

*'''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]].

[[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 that of a [[Siberian Husky]], the [[dog]] breed from which he derived his name.

==== Trolling and wares ====

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 [[:Category:Artists|furry artists]] from 2001 through 2006, that has permanently cemented his current reputation with the fandom with this subsequent actions.

==== Bans ====

He also has the dubious unique honor of having been banned by at a major and some minor [[convention]]s - [[Further Confusion]]. 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]] 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>

The comic ''[[West Corner Of the Park (comic)|West Corner of the Park]]'' has depicted Sibe as a giant slug,<ref>http://www.graphxpress.com/cgi-bin/wcotp.cgi?date=20060319</ref><ref>http://www.graphxpress.com/cgi-bin/wcotp.cgi?date=20011110</ref><ref>http://www.graphxpress.com/cgi-bin/wcotp.cgi?date=20020107</ref> although this includes an element of artistic license.

==== Timeline ====

[[Image:Sibe.jpg|right|thumb|Sibe: "Big snugly husky dog that luvs everyone. <3"]]
*'''9 December 1995''': Sibe arrested for Assault in the Fourth Degree against his father. He was sentenced to three months probation, 16 hours community service (time served), and lost his right to possess firearms in Washington State. Terms of his probation include not engaging in unwanted physical contact with family members and others, typical conditions for a juvinile convicted of Assault in the Fourth Degree.
*'''6 March 1996''': Sibe is again arrested for DV-Assault 4 against his father. The hearing was delayed due to him being checked into a psychiatric institution in the state of Idaho. It is currently unknown how long he was in the institution. A warrant was issued for his arrest for failure to appear and was valid for almost 18 months until he filed for quashing the warrant on his 18th birthday for the juvenile court's lack of jurisdiction. The King County Prosecutor's office declined to prosecute him in adult court for that incident and the case was dismissed.
*'''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.
*'''1-3 July, 1999'': Sibe attends Anthrocon 99 on a shoestring budget. Raps with silfur. Buys 90 bucks worth of porn from James hardiman. Asked wookie "Is it just line art and cheezy photoshop tricks?" And then he pulled out some oil painting. His e-penis is huge. He got to help change Mathias Blackwolfs tire. Went to some furries house and watched that skuck chick bone herself with that plushie dildo thingy . She came like *Gallons* and literally like 8 furries just watched. It was like.. wow.... And apparently sibe kept the rag that she came all over as a souviner. Pretty gross huh? Anyways, sibe also hung out with some dude who took him down to a fur friendly copy store so i could get some full color laser copies of my 90 dollar investment :) He got copies of all his investment as well. Sibe got really drunk and hung out in a wife beater. He was tickled non-consentually by all five members of his room until he almost peed. Didnt buy a sibe badge from anyone. He apparently had a blast though.
*'''6 March 2001''': After Sibe had already lost the right to possess firearms in the state of Washington, he is arrested for violating ORS (short for Oregon Revised Statute) 166.370, possession of a loaded firearm in a public building, specifically Herald College in Portland, OR. He possessed a shotgun on the grounds of an educational institution in his duffel bag, which is illegal unless you fall into one of the exceptions in the statute. He is given pre-trial intervention/diversion, where if he had not been arrested for any further crimes, his charge would have been dismissed.
[[Image:PafSibeBadge.jpg|right|thumb|Sibe, by [[Chris Goodwin]]]]
*'''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.
*'''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.
*'''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).
*'''May 2002''': A warrant is issued for the arrest of Sibe for failure to appear in court in Issaquah, Washington in regards to his reckless driving charge. This was not taken care of until September 2004.
*'''3 May 2002''': A hearing is held in regards to possible release. His attorney identifies Sibe as having significant psychiatric problems, including being diagnosed as having bipolar disorder by two different psychiatrists in his youth. Disciplinary problems include: Fighting, flooding his cell with water causing $1500 worth of damage, failing to follow directions of jail deputies. As a result of his disciplinary problems, he was put under lock-down. Judge Beckman orders the jail to allow a psychiatrist into the jail for his psychiatric care.
*'''5 December 2002''': Sibe is sentenced to 36 months of probation plus time served, and is ordered to obey all laws, restricted internet usage, and to not use drugs, among other provisions.
*'''7 November 2003''': Lonnie Allen Wilson (aka http://graycoyote.livejournal.com/) Makes a false rape report to a police officer. After giving the statement to the officer, the officer concludes that it was "rough gay sex" and not forcible rape. Meanwhile Lonnie Wilson is recruiting other furries to bring a group rape suit against sibe, attemting to ruin his sexual credibility in the hypersexual world of the furry fandom.
*'''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 Ross Reddick 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.
*'''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.
*'''November 2004''': Sibe moves to Bellevue, Washington from Portland, Oregon and did not notify his probation judge.
*'''6 December 2004''': Sibe is sentenced to 1 year of probation by the King County District Court for his reckless driving case from 2001.
*'''28 December 2004''': After being unable to find Sibe's current address due to lack of notification of his move to Washington State in late November 2004, and failing to appear to a probation hearing due to a report of illegal activities by the [[Wikipedia:Federal Bureau of Investigation|FBI]], Judge Douglas Beckman of the Multnomah County Circuit Court issues a warrant for Sibe's arrest with no bail allowed. The warrant was not extraditable outside of Oregon.
*'''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.
*'''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.

*'''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''.
*'''September 2005''': Sibe moves back to Portland, Oregon from Bellevue, Washington. He does not notify his probation judge in Washington of his new address in Oregon. In this month his Oregon warrant was also updated to extraditable from Washington, Idaho, and Western Montana as part of a change in policy in regards dealing with felony offenses against persons in Oregon, due to the ability of criminals previous to this to run to Washington and evade capture.
*'''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]]]]
*'''5 February 2006''': Sibe was booked into Multnomah County (Oregon) Justice Center by officers of the [http://www.portlandonline.com/police/?&c=29708 Portland Police Bureau] for the warrant issued on 28 December 2004. As he now had a fixed address (Multnomah County Justice Center), he was process-served for various lawsuits and orders of protection. Despite speculation on various sites that the "DV-Coercion" notation in the booking log indicated that he committed a new domestic violence offense, particularly against his mate Bound Wolf, the real reason why Multnomah County Sheriff's noted the DV-Coercion in his booking file was due to the charge that he was convicted of in 2002 in exchange for his plea of no contest. Whether this was intentional or an error on their part is unknown.
*'''14 February 2006''': Sibe's Greatest Journal was deleted, though not by Sibe since he was still in custody at the time. It was not suspended by Greatest Journal.
*'''17 February 2006''': A hearing for violation of probation is convened at 9:30AM at Multnomah County Circuit Courthouse. Judge Douglas Beckman presiding. Sibe stipulates to evading the warrant for his arrest and continued to abscond, use of internet outside of Judge Beckman's authorization, and stipulation to the use of marijuana, as well as traffic violations. Judge Beckman, during the defense attorney's statements about Sibe's accomplishments of having a job for nearly a year, brought up the issue of police reports filed for sexual abuse and misconduct by four different persons, including the father of a 2 year old girl who accused Sibe of sexually abusing his daughter. The father of the 2 year old was deported and as a result the case was dropped due to the lack of witnesses (the daughter was removed from the country by ICE with her father). His computer is ordered seized and turned over to the Federal Bureau of Investigation for forensic examination. The hearing is held over until 7 March 2006 for hearing. Sibe offers up a Compaq laptop as his personal computer.
*'''7 March 2006''': Due to Sibe's misrepresenting to the court that his Compaq laptop was his only personal computer (the FBI forensics examiners determined that the computer was a "brick," "ancient", and had only been used three times since 2003 for dial up usage), along with the stipulations to his violations of probation, he receives a 6 month jail sentence for the probation violations, plus 3 years' parole. His 30 days held at the Multnomah County (Oregon) Justice Center thus far does not count as time served toward this sentence due primarily to his misrepresentation to the court.
*'''23 March 2006''': An email is sent from [http://www.vinelink.com VINElink] victim notification services that he was released from Oregon Department of Corrections. However, he is still in Multnomah County Jail until 3 September 2006 according to Multnomah County Jail Custody Records, and his other entries into VINElink indicate that he is still in the custody of Multnomah County Jail. A search through [http://www.inmatereleases.org/ Multnomah County Jail Inmate Early Releases Database] indicates that he has not been released, either.
*'''1 September 2006''': Sibe is released from jail and put under the supervision of the Oregon Department of Corrections for a period of 3 years. The slightly early release is due to the calculated release date not being on a government business day.
*'''12 May 2007''': Sibe announces that a warrant for his arrest has been issued, as he has avoided seeing his probation officer due to continued failures to pass a [[Wikipedia:urinalysis|urinalysis]] since the prior September.<ref>''[http://www.greatestjournal.com/users/evilsibe/112095.html Warrant for my arrest], Sibe (12 May 2007)</ref> He suggests that he is likely to do "a little time in county", and offers to post his address so people can write to him in jail. He is listed as an absconder from community supervision on VINElink.<ref name="VINElink">[http://www.vinelink.com/ VINElink offender detail] (search Oregon for Ross Reddick), accessed 19 August 2007</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.{cite}

== Berios ==

Did you mean to leave [[Berios]] blank? Or should it be protected-excluded? --[[User:Rat|Rat]] 20:11, 12 September 2007 (UTC)
:Protected-excluded, but Safari is not formating the post right. It shows as intended on preview, but not when I save it. If you could fix it I would appreciate it [[User:Spirou|Spirou]] 23:39, 12 September 2007 (UTC)
::The user contacted me via IM and asked that his paged be removed, and that the link between his RL name and fursona/character be broken. I deleted the [[Berios]] page and protected-excluded his RL name. I'm not sure what the precedent is for this but as long as the link isn't immediately obvious I think we will have satisfied the request. [[User:Simba B|Simba B]] 20:37, 12 September 2007 (UTC)
:::Understood, But "Berios" (the name,) is a bit linked to the history of fandom, and deleting it outright would red-link possible present/future entries connections (attendances, contributions, etc...). That's why I undeleted it, killed the redirect to the person's name, and tried to "protect-excluded" (emphasis on "tried".)
:::Should be fined as long as his RL name is not connected to this alias in any article. [[User:Spirou|Spirou]] 23:39, 12 September 2007 (UTC)

== Vorderman Post ==

Hi Spirou Can i please have some clarification if a factual event that happned at EF13 warents a post on wikifur. As southpaw is pretty adiment that it is not witin guidelines for Wikifur (Sorry My first article so its going to be a mess!)

Reasons that i think it deserved a post was that around 80% of the con actualy was into it at one point. The dance floor errupting and a few of the orginazers such as cheetah and uncle kage got in on the act. A lot of furrs have since asked "what was it all about" {{unsigned|WolfieUk|20:34, 12 September 2007 (UTC)}}

:No problem. As it stands, the entry is about a very localized, spur of the moment, event that, all thought occurring in a furry convention and propagated by furs, it (at this time,) doesn't stand out, or being furry common enough, to warrant it's own entry (vs something like [[Krystal can't enjoy her sandwich]], which, all though quick and new, it crossed all layers of furry fandom very quickly in a popular fashion with a lot of people, enough to be noteworthy.)

:It could be, instead of putting up to discuss its appropriateness as a standalone Wikifur article, merged as a section on the [[Eurofurence 13]] article, as Rat has already suggested to do [[User:Spirou|Spirou]] 23:39, 12 September 2007 (UTC)

== Homestead? ==

Back in 2005 [http://furry.wikia.com/index.php?title=Whelpday&diff=20079&oldid=14810 one of your additions to Whelpday included “The Homestead”]. Was that Homestead a role-play section of alt.lifestyle.furry or the Homestead LJ? --[[User:EarthFurst|EarthFurst]] 22:20, 19 September 2007 (UTC)

The "Homestead" as [[Alt.lifestyle.furry|ALF]] is referred as sometimes =) [[User:Spirou|Spirou]] 04:40, 20 September 2007 (UTC)

== User:74.15.21.167 ==

After reviewing the [[Special:Contributions/74.15.21.167|recent edits]] by this anonymous user, it is not obvious to me like they were acts of vandalism/bad faith. Questionable, perhaps, but possibly worthy of further discussion before taking action against this user. Are you familiar enough with the subject matter of the articles edited to be able to say otherwise? --[[User:Mwalimu|mwalimu]] 18:07, 8 October 2007 (UTC)

:No, it wasn't actually the initial edits that made me reverse the changes, but the final two touches of taking out the contributor template ("uh?, why?",) and the little tweak on the Road Rover article (cute.) Not precisely nice final touches to try to seriously assert your prior arguments/edits [[User:Spirou|Spirou]] 18:23, 8 October 2007 (UTC)

== Wiki-style Disagreement ==

I prefer dictionary-tabbing out segments versus making sub-segments, especially when the topics covered are short enough that they could be covered in a bulleted list (not to mention it causes that ugly Table Of Contents to show up, which is really unnecessary when we're discussing many short definitions). I consider it more 'wiki-like' in making sure the content is not obscured by needless details, and in this case your changes are the equivalent of a ten-pound parcel for a ten-ounce cargo.

I would really rather you leave my edits in that regard alone. I don't mind content being corrected, but the 'many small segments' appearance really bothers me, unless you intend on expanding each of the segments in [[How To Be a Furry]] out into sizable enough portions to be worth the alteration fairly soon. [[User:Jigsaw Forte|Jigsaw Forte]] 03:40, 9 October 2007 (UTC)

:Actually, it has nothing to do with the type of edit you prefer, instead of more on the formatting that Wikifur generally uses ([[Help:Furry_Book_of_Style]].) Not ribbing, or trying to get your goat, or, simply, "f**** with you," really, just following old formatting rules, which there are a few I also feel should be changed to be more pleasing looking. If you feel the type of format you're using could help enhance articles, please, do put the discussion forth =)

:In the mean time, no malice was intended with the formatting of the article [[User:Spirou|Spirou]] 03:50, 9 October 2007 (UTC)

== Revert ==

Why did you revert [http://furry.wikia.com/index.php?title=DrGamez&diff=166253&oldid=166215 this]? It's not really nice to have lots of unsourced rumors on an article about a real person. [[User:Hendrik18|Hendrik18]] 16:20, 14 October 2007 (UTC)

:Such list was not taken out, even when its user made edits to [http://furry.wikia.com/index.php?title=DrGamez&direction=next&oldid=64175 it], which either means that (A) they were written by him or (B) he didn't have a problem with them. That's why the revert,...

:But, looking at it again, even if the reasons listed above are correct, this kind of fluff writing belongs in the contributor's user page, which does have the same [http://furry.wikia.com/wiki/User:DrGamez list] anyways, so re-reverting to your edit after all [[User:Spirou|Spirou]] 22:13, 14 October 2007 (UTC)

== My personal page ==

I respectfully request the future link 'Vampire' not be included (hence my removing it upon its addition the first time) as Queen Vampire is my title and my vampire mythos varies greatly from most the common ones found. They are a part of my history and those of my offspring. I do not want them lumped into the typical vampire definition. Please allow that removal. I also wonder why you have insisted on a future link regarding my home. It has no reason to be listed at all, and I do not want it listed now or in the future.

Yours sincerely,
Lady Tabyathe Foxhampton

:Wikipedia links are provided more information interesting information to potential reader to peruse, and it doesn't have to be really related, but if the biology, lore and history of your species is quite distinct from the established vampyr/vampire mythology, I will make sure it is not linked now, or in future edits.

:As for [[Fox Manor]], being a Wiki devoted to anything furry related, any information, names, or locales are open to be expanded into future articles to provide, once again, a more broader, varied and informative view of Furry. If you don't wish to expand on this matter/subject, I can delete the link format at your request [[User:Spirou|Spirou]] 04:05, 27 October 2007 (UTC)

==Yo==
Consider this me contacting you personally, since I can't find an email. This is [[Colley]]. I don't want my personal information on my wikifur page. Please remove it.
You have access to my livejournal if you need to contact me and verify this.{{unsigned|12.219.171.207}}

== Why do you want [[Colley]] to be harassed? ==

I can't think of any other reason why you'd disregard [http://colley.livejournal.com/479346.html his own statements about what he approves on his page] but insist on putting his real name there against his wishes and subsequently protecting it. That's rather hostile of you.

:His real name will be removed [[User:Spirou|Spirou]] 04:30, 29 October 2007 (UTC)

:: Please also remove my name from drewkitty. If you insist on being tedious, please E-mail drewkitty@gmail.com and I will verify the removal. Otherwise I complain to other admins. 3 November 2007

::: The tone of your comment is unnecessary. --[[User:GreenReaper|GreenReaper]]([[User talk:GreenReaper|talk]]) 01:19, 4 November 2007 (UTC)

:If he wanted his edits to be taken seriously, he should have made them under his own name and not have mixed them in with other edits adding stupidity to the page - no matter how much he "approves" of such edits. It is not reasonable to expect administrators to proactively check people's LiveJournals before reverting such nonsense. --[[User:GreenReaper|GreenReaper]]([[User talk:GreenReaper|talk]]) 01:19, 4 November 2007 (UTC)

== I need help ==

Excuse me Mr. Spirou, why are all the external article of the [[Butch]] series requesting to be merged, I would agree that this would be a good idea for this, but the Butch article isn't made to have all the information on it, it's made to be a directional page for the other articles, not all he information is there and it's incomplete. - [[User:McBowser|McBowser]] 02:18, 29 October 2007 (UTC)

:Most webcomic articles have all the information that's currently fragmented across Wikifur under one entry (Comic, premise, characters, locations,...) In the current state, a reader would need to make several article jumps instead of finding all related information under one heading.

:As for length, currently all the articles related to this comic are under the "stub" size, so they could easily be assimilated under one entry. [[Sequential Art]] is an example of how to format a webcomic article for this Wiki - [[User:Spirou|Spirou]] 04:19, 30 October 2007 (UTC)

::But i did that because, i didn't get any kind of replys when made the last comment, and the only time when i did get a response is after i deleted the tags. i took off the merge tab because, the articles they arn't finished and all the informatin hasn't been placed there yet, i went to most of the articles here that talked about web-comics and the reason they merged together is becase there doesn't seem to be that much information on it, it just lloks a few paragraphs telling the main idea and some synopsis notes. - [[User:McBowser|McBowser]] 04:52, 30 October 2007 (UTC)

== drewkitty ==

I hate to be rude. You can see clearly in my user page that I prefer to separate my personal and professional life. Just so we're clear: http://drewkitty.livejournal.com/238637.html

You provide me with an E-mail address and I will send you a message to that effect. I note that *you* are anonymous. I note further in your user talk page that you have been slow to respond to other reasonable requests to delete real names.

Don't motivate me to break your anonymity or to involve other admins. -- drewkitty 3 November 2007 {{unsigned|drewkitty}}

:Please do not threaten our administrators when you are asking us to do you a favour. We are willing to work with you on information that you consider personal as long as you are willing to work with us. A confrontational tone is not necessary or helpful.

:Also, a clarification - a user page is "your page", while [[Drewkitty]] is "the page about you". This might seem like quibbling over terms, but the difference is important, as you can see from, say, [[User:Colley]] and [[Colley]]. --[[User:GreenReaper|GreenReaper]]([[User talk:GreenReaper|talk]]) 01:29, 4 November 2007 (UTC)

== 205.211.159.44 ==

I think a month block without any warnings first is a bit too harsh for this IP address.

When I was at MFF I heard complaints about the security person from multiple people(though I wasn't affected and didn't hear any specifics), so there may or may not be a grain of truth in the complaint. As written, the article wasn't acceptable, so I don't mind scrapping it and having them start over. --[[User:Rat|Rat]] 19:15, 26 November 2007 (UTC)

:All right, will throttle back blocking to warning. All though using Wikifur as a personal public venting medium, or creating a (fake/POV) article for the sole purpose of maligning somebody (deserved or not) doesn't precisely look like to be a "warning" only case - [[User:Spirou|Spirou]] 22:46, 26 November 2007 (UTC)

:Hi; If the data entered is fitting to a Wikifur article, in can remain as such in there, and you can have a little bit of entertainment with it too (we are not "100% cut and dry, by the book" Wiki.)

:...does not fit in the controversy timeline, a timeline I thought you wanted shortened accurately, not muddled longer with nonsense - [[User:Spirou|Spirou]] 07:34, 19 January 2008 (UTC)

== Hey ! You! Toughguy! ==

The article is supposed to be about me, not just controversy surrounding me. Just because some jackoff put "controversy" in bullet dosent mean that the article needs to be a hit job from then on. I am making the article more accurate, which I believe was supposed to be the point of wikifur. Right? Or is the point just to make me look as bad as possible.

== Question ==

Do you believe that the Sibe article is a balanced accurate article about me as a person?

Perhaps you believe that I 'deserve" a hit article because of my actions?

Is that the same reason that I am not allowed to ask for my article to be locked and blanked like Murrlin?

Murrlin also had problems with furry admins and was banned from furry networks, as was I.

Im not sure if his real name and criminal record was known, but why would he get to blank and lock his article,

but I cant ? ALso, why is any positive information that I add to the article grounds to ban me for 24 hours?

Whats really going on here Spirou? What are your motivations here?

==== Timeline ====

[[Image:Sibe.jpg|right|thumb|Sibe: "Big snugly husky dog that luvs everyone. <3"]]
*'''9 December 1995''': Sibe arrested for Assault in the Fourth Degree against his father. He was sentenced to three months probation, 16 hours community service (time served), and lost his right to possess firearms in Washington State. Terms of his probation include not engaging in unwanted physical contact with family members and others, typical conditions for a juvinile convicted of Assault in the Fourth Degree.
*'''6 March 1996''': Sibe is again arrested for DV-Assault 4 against his father. The hearing was delayed due to him being checked into a psychiatric institution in the state of Idaho. It is currently unknown how long he was in the institution. A warrant was issued for his arrest for failure to appear and was valid for almost 18 months until he filed for quashing the warrant on his 18th birthday for the juvenile court's lack of jurisdiction. The King County Prosecutor's office declined to prosecute him in adult court for that incident and the case was dismissed.
*'''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.
*'''1-3 July, 1999'': Sibe attends Anthrocon 99 on a shoestring budget. Raps with silfur. Buys 90 bucks worth of porn from James hardiman. Asked wookie "Is it just line art and cheezy photoshop tricks?" And then he pulled out some oil painting. His e-penis is huge. He got to help change Mathias Blackwolfs tire. Went to some furries house and watched that skuck chick bone herself with that plushie dildo thingy . She came like *Gallons* and literally like 8 furries just watched. It was like.. wow.... And apparently sibe kept the rag that she came all over as a souviner. Pretty gross huh? Anyways, sibe also hung out with some dude who took him down to a fur friendly copy store so i could get some full color laser copies of my 90 dollar investment :) He got copies of all his investment as well. Sibe got really drunk and hung out in a wife beater. He was tickled non-consentually by all five members of his room until he almost peed. Didnt buy a sibe badge from anyone. He apparently had a blast though.
*'''6 March 2001''': After Sibe had already lost the right to possess firearms in the state of Washington, he is arrested for violating ORS (short for Oregon Revised Statute) 166.370, possession of a loaded firearm in a public building, specifically Herald College in Portland, OR. He possessed a shotgun on the grounds of an educational institution in his duffel bag, which is illegal unless you fall into one of the exceptions in the statute. He is given pre-trial intervention/diversion, where if he had not been arrested for any further crimes, his charge would have been dismissed.
[[Image:PafSibeBadge.jpg|right|thumb|Sibe, by [[Chris Goodwin]]]]
*'''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.
*'''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.
*'''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).
*'''May 2002''': A warrant is issued for the arrest of Sibe for failure to appear in court in Issaquah, Washington in regards to his reckless driving charge. This was not taken care of until September 2004.
*'''3 May 2002''': A hearing is held in regards to possible release. His attorney identifies Sibe as having significant psychiatric problems, including being diagnosed as having bipolar disorder by two different psychiatrists in his youth. Disciplinary problems include: Fighting, flooding his cell with water causing $1500 worth of damage, failing to follow directions of jail deputies. As a result of his disciplinary problems, he was put under lock-down. Judge Beckman orders the jail to allow a psychiatrist into the jail for his psychiatric care.
*'''5 December 2002''': Sibe is sentenced to 36 months of probation plus time served, and is ordered to obey all laws, restricted internet usage, and to not use drugs, among other provisions.
*'''7 November 2003''': Lonnie Wilson (aka lokithegreycoyote) Makes a false rape report to a police officer. After giving the statement to the officer, the officer concludes that it was "rough gay sex" and not forcible rape. Meanwhile Lonnie Wilson is recruiting other furries to bring a group rape suit against sibe, attemting to ruin his sexual credibility in the hypersexual world of the furry fandom.
*'''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 Ross Reddick 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.
*'''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.
*'''November 2004''': Sibe moves to Bellevue, Washington from Portland, Oregon and did not notify his probation judge.
*'''6 December 2004''': Sibe is sentenced to 1 year of probation by the King County District Court for his reckless driving case from 2001.
*'''28 December 2004''': After being unable to find Sibe's current address due to lack of notification of his move to Washington State in late November 2004, and failing to appear to a probation hearing due to a report of illegal activities by the [[Wikipedia:Federal Bureau of Investigation|FBI]], Judge Douglas Beckman of the Multnomah County Circuit Court issues a warrant for Sibe's arrest with no bail allowed. The warrant was not extraditable outside of Oregon.
*'''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.
*'''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>
*'''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''.
*'''September 2005''': Sibe moves back to Portland, Oregon from Bellevue, Washington. He does not notify his probation judge in Washington of his new address in Oregon. In this month his Oregon warrant was also updated to extraditable from Washington, Idaho, and Western Montana as part of a change in policy in regards dealing with felony offenses against persons in Oregon, due to the ability of criminals previous to this to run to Washington and evade capture.
*'''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]]]]
*'''5 February 2006''': Sibe was booked into Multnomah County (Oregon) Justice Center by officers of the [http://www.portlandonline.com/police/?&c=29708 Portland Police Bureau] for the warrant issued on 28 December 2004. As he now had a fixed address (Multnomah County Justice Center), he was process-served for various lawsuits and orders of protection. Despite speculation on various sites that the "DV-Coercion" notation in the booking log indicated that he committed a new domestic violence offense, particularly against his mate Bound Wolf, the real reason why Multnomah County Sheriff's noted the DV-Coercion in his booking file was due to the charge that he was convicted of in 2002 in exchange for his plea of no contest. Whether this was intentional or an error on their part is unknown.
*'''14 February 2006''': Sibe's Greatest Journal was deleted, though not by Sibe since he was still in custody at the time. It was not suspended by Greatest Journal.
*'''17 February 2006''': A hearing for violation of probation is convened at 9:30AM at Multnomah County Circuit Courthouse. Judge Douglas Beckman presiding. Sibe stipulates to evading the warrant for his arrest and continued to abscond, use of internet outside of Judge Beckman's authorization, and stipulation to the use of marijuana, as well as traffic violations. Judge Beckman, during the defense attorney's statements about Sibe's accomplishments of having a job for nearly a year, brought up the issue of police reports filed for sexual abuse and misconduct by four different persons, including the father of a 2 year old girl who accused Sibe of sexually abusing his daughter. The father of the 2 year old was deported and as a result the case was dropped due to the lack of witnesses (the daughter was removed from the country by ICE with her father). His computer is ordered seized and turned over to the Federal Bureau of Investigation for forensic examination. The hearing is held over until 7 March 2006 for hearing. Sibe offers up a Compaq laptop as his personal computer.
*'''7 March 2006''': Due to Sibe's misrepresenting to the court that his Compaq laptop was his only personal computer (the FBI forensics examiners determined that the computer was a "brick," "ancient", and had only been used three times since 2003 for dial up usage), along with the stipulations to his violations of probation, he receives a 6 month jail sentence for the probation violations, plus 3 years' parole. His 30 days held at the Multnomah County (Oregon) Justice Center thus far does not count as time served toward this sentence due primarily to his misrepresentation to the court.
*'''23 March 2006''': An email is sent from [http://www.vinelink.com VINElink] victim notification services that he was released from Oregon Department of Corrections. However, he is still in Multnomah County Jail until 3 September 2006 according to Multnomah County Jail Custody Records, and his other entries into VINElink indicate that he is still in the custody of Multnomah County Jail. A search through [http://www.inmatereleases.org/ Multnomah County Jail Inmate Early Releases Database] indicates that he has not been released, either.
*'''1 September 2006''': Sibe is released from jail and put under the supervision of the Oregon Department of Corrections for a period of 3 years. The slightly early release is due to the calculated release date not being on a government business day.
*'''12 May 2007''': Sibe announces that a warrant for his arrest has been issued, as he has avoided seeing his probation officer due to continued failures to pass a [[Wikipedia:urinalysis|urinalysis]] since the prior September.<ref>''[http://www.greatestjournal.com/users/evilsibe/112095.html Warrant for my arrest], Sibe (12 May 2007)</ref> He suggests that he is likely to do "a little time in county", and offers to post his address so people can write to him in jail.

*'''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.{cite}
*'''18 August 2007''': Sibe is taken into custody under the previous warrant, and enters the [http://www.norcor.co.wasco.or.us/ Northern Oregon Regional Correctional Facilities] (NORCOR).<ref name="VINElink" />

*'''6 March 1996''': Sibe is again arrested for DV-Assault 4 against his father. The hearing was delayed due to him being checked into a psychiatric institution in the state of Idaho. It is currently unknown how long he was in the institution. A warrant was issued for his arrest for failure to appear and was valid for almost 18 months until he filed for quashing the warrant on his 18th birthday for the juvenile court's lack of jurisdiction. The King County Prosecutor's office declined to prosecute him in adult court for that incident and the case was dismissed.
*'''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.
*'''1-3 July, 1999'': Sibe attends Anthrocon 99 on a shoestring budget. Raps with silfur. Buys 90 bucks worth of porn from James hardiman. Asked wookie "Is it just line art and cheezy photoshop tricks?" And then he pulled out some oil painting. His e-penis is huge. He got to help change Mathias Blackwolfs tire. Went to some furries house and watched that skuck chick bone herself with that plushie dildo thingy . She came like *Gallons* and literally like 8 furries just watched. It was like.. wow.... And apparently sibe kept the rag that she came all over as a souviner. Pretty gross huh? Anyways, sibe also hung out with some dude who took him down to a fur friendly copy store so i could get some full color laser copies of my 90 dollar investment :) He got copies of all his investment as well. Sibe got really drunk and hung out in a wife beater. He was tickled non-consentually by all five members of his room until he almost peed. Didnt buy a sibe badge from anyone. He apparently had a blast though.
*'''6 March 2001''': After Sibe had already lost the right to possess firearms in the state of Washington, he is arrested for violating ORS (short for Oregon Revised Statute) 166.370, possession of a loaded firearm in a public building, specifically Herald College in Portland, OR. He possessed a shotgun on the grounds of an educational institution in his duffel bag, which is illegal unless you fall into one of the exceptions in the statute. He is given pre-trial intervention/diversion, where if he had not been arrested for any further crimes, his charge would have been dismissed.
[[Image:PafSibeBadge.jpg|right|thumb|Sibe, by [[Chris Goodwin]]]]
*'''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.
*'''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.
*'''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).
*'''May 2002''': A warrant is issued for the arrest of Sibe for failure to appear in court in Issaquah, Washington in regards to his reckless driving charge. This was not taken care of until September 2004.
*'''3 May 2002''': A hearing is held in regards to possible release. His attorney identifies Sibe as having significant psychiatric problems, including being diagnosed as having bipolar disorder by two different psychiatrists in his youth. Disciplinary problems include: Fighting, flooding his cell with water causing $1500 worth of damage, failing to follow directions of jail deputies. As a result of his disciplinary problems, he was put under lock-down. Judge Beckman orders the jail to allow a psychiatrist into the jail for his psychiatric care.
*'''5 December 2002''': Sibe is sentenced to 36 months of probation plus time served, and is ordered to obey all laws, restricted internet usage, and to not use drugs, among other provisions.
*'''7 November 2003''': Lonnie Wilson (aka lokithegreycoyote) Makes a false rape report to a police officer. After giving the statement to the officer, the officer concludes that it was "rough gay sex" and not forcible rape. Meanwhile Lonnie Wilson is recruiting other furries to bring a group rape suit against sibe, attemting to ruin his sexual credibility in the hypersexual world of the furry fandom.
*'''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 Ross Reddick 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.
*'''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.
*'''November 2004''': Sibe moves to Bellevue, Washington from Portland, Oregon and did not notify his probation judge.
*'''6 December 2004''': Sibe is sentenced to 1 year of probation by the King County District Court for his reckless driving case from 2001.
*'''28 December 2004''': After being unable to find Sibe's current address due to lack of notification of his move to Washington State in late November 2004, and failing to appear to a probation hearing due to a report of illegal activities by the [[Wikipedia:Federal Bureau of Investigation|FBI]], Judge Douglas Beckman of the Multnomah County Circuit Court issues a warrant for Sibe's arrest with no bail allowed. The warrant was not extraditable outside of Oregon.
*'''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.
*'''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>
*'''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''.
*'''September 2005''': Sibe moves back to Portland, Oregon from Bellevue, Washington. He does not notify his probation judge in Washington of his new address in Oregon. In this month his Oregon warrant was also updated to extraditable from Washington, Idaho, and Western Montana as part of a change in policy in regards dealing with felony offenses against persons in Oregon, due to the ability of criminals previous to this to run to Washington and evade capture.
*'''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]]]]
*'''5 February 2006''': Sibe was booked into Multnomah County (Oregon) Justice Center by officers of the [http://www.portlandonline.com/police/?&c=29708 Portland Police Bureau] for the warrant issued on 28 December 2004. As he now had a fixed address (Multnomah County Justice Center), he was process-served for various lawsuits and orders of protection. Despite speculation on various sites that the "DV-Coercion" notation in the booking log indicated that he committed a new domestic violence offense, particularly against his mate Bound Wolf, the real reason why Multnomah County Sheriff's noted the DV-Coercion in his booking file was due to the charge that he was convicted of in 2002 in exchange for his plea of no contest. Whether this was intentional or an error on their part is unknown.
*'''14 February 2006''': Sibe's Greatest Journal was deleted, though not by Sibe since he was still in custody at the time. It was not suspended by Greatest Journal.
*'''17 February 2006''': A hearing for violation of probation is convened at 9:30AM at Multnomah County Circuit Courthouse. Judge Douglas Beckman presiding. Sibe stipulates to evading the warrant for his arrest and continued to abscond, use of internet outside of Judge Beckman's authorization, and stipulation to the use of marijuana, as well as traffic violations. Judge Beckman, during the defense attorney's statements about Sibe's accomplishments of having a job for nearly a year, brought up the issue of police reports filed for sexual abuse and misconduct by four different persons, including the father of a 2 year old girl who accused Sibe of sexually abusing his daughter. The father of the 2 year old was deported and as a result the case was dropped due to the lack of witnesses (the daughter was removed from the country by ICE with her father). His computer is ordered seized and turned over to the Federal Bureau of Investigation for forensic examination. The hearing is held over until 7 March 2006 for hearing. Sibe offers up a Compaq laptop as his personal computer.
*'''7 March 2006''': Due to Sibe's misrepresenting to the court that his Compaq laptop was his only personal computer (the FBI forensics examiners determined that the computer was a "brick," "ancient", and had only been used three times since 2003 for dial up usage), along with the stipulations to his violations of probation, he receives a 6 month jail sentence for the probation violations, plus 3 years' parole. His 30 days held at the Multnomah County (Oregon) Justice Center thus far does not count as time served toward this sentence due primarily to his misrepresentation to the court.
*'''23 March 2006''': An email is sent from [http://www.vinelink.com VINElink] victim notification services that he was released from Oregon Department of Corrections. However, he is still in Multnomah County Jail until 3 September 2006 according to Multnomah County Jail Custody Records, and his other entries into VINElink indicate that he is still in the custody of Multnomah County Jail. A search through [http://www.inmatereleases.org/ Multnomah County Jail Inmate Early Releases Database] indicates that he has not been released, either.
*'''1 September 2006''': Sibe is released from jail and put under the supervision of the Oregon Department of Corrections for a period of 3 years. The slightly early release is due to the calculated release date not being on a government business day.
*'''12 May 2007''': Sibe announces that a warrant for his arrest has been issued, as he has avoided seeing his probation officer due to continued failures to pass a [[Wikipedia:urinalysis|urinalysis]] since the prior September.<ref>''[http://www.greatestjournal.com/users/evilsibe/112095.html Warrant for my arrest], Sibe (12 May 2007)</ref> He suggests that he is likely to do "a little time in county", and offers to post his address so people can write to him in jail.

*'''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.{cite}
*'''18 August 2007''': Sibe is taken into custody under the previous warrant, and enters the [http://www.norcor.co.wasco.or.us/ Northern Oregon Regional Correctional Facilities] (NORCOR).<ref name="VINElink" />

== RBW event status ==

:''Regarding [[User talk:Foxberance#Convention vs. party vs. event]]''

As the main organizer for both the 2007 and 2008 RBW conventions i would like to point out that we ARE a convention.

We have in fact a number of specific tracks for fursuiting, spiritual Furs, art, and general entertainment. We also are based at two location. The 'Party' aspect being held on the boat on the Saturday evening along with the more traditional programming being held at the main venue throughout Saturday and Sunday. 2007 and 2008 have specific affiliated hotels to the convention. RBW as of 1st July will be a registered UK charity and LLP As myself (Foxb) and Rapido as the chairmen.

For 2008 we are holding the event at a major and yet to be disclosed venue in London across 4 days. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by [[User:Foxberance|Foxberance]] ([[User talk:Foxberance|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Foxberance|contribs]]) {{{2|}}}.

:I'd like to see what other people think of this, so I'll bring it up as a question on the [[Talk:Red Blue & White|appropriate talk page]]. I would note that there is no mention of a hotel on your website, and in fact the only thing it says about accommodation is that it is not provided as part of the registration. The term "track" is also generally used to refer to several things happening simultaneously in different locations rather than one after the other. --[[User:GreenReaper|GreenReaper]]([[User talk:GreenReaper|talk]]) 07:38, 18 June 2007 (UTC)

==Newspaper Articles==
Hi GR. Just writing wondering if you can clarify the way articles on newspaper pieces should look?

Sine has gone and removed the italicization of the title from two entries I put in today: [[Lions and Tigers and Bears, Oh My‎]], [[March of the Furries]]. (I'd originally copied the format from an earlier article about a Denver Westword piece: [[Let's Pretend We're Bunny Rabbits]].)

Is Sine's way correct? (It seems to be, I think Sine is using an accepted style, but I thought I'd double-check before spending time going through the list of Media Coverage articles and standardizing them all - there are few in there that italicize the title).

Also, some articles on newspaper/magazine columns have the "(year) events" category whilst others don't. What's the correct thing here?
-- [[User:Higgs Raccoon|Higgs Raccoon]] 20:56, 20 June 2007 (UTC)

:I would generally agree with this. The titles of newspaper articles are typically encased in quotes if there is a need to offset them from the text. Given that they are already bolded (being the title of the page) this is probably not necessary. We would italicize the name of the publication.

:It's tempting to suggest that we should use [[:Category:News by date]] for this, but it's probably a good idea to keep the two concepts separate. We do have the [[Timeline of media coverage]] for non-furry media. I don't think the date categorization really adds much in this case, so it could be removed (they're not really an event). --[[User:GreenReaper|GreenReaper]]([[User talk:GreenReaper|talk]]) 22:03, 20 June 2007 (UTC)

Sorry for that, It's more for effect, anyways, down to buisness.

And I know exactly who (I cannot say his name due to privacy rights). I work on Halopedia mostly at my school, and as a result, I had a bonehead who watched what I was doing. He did not like me much and as a result, created a account and vandalized my page. When we booted him, he must have moved onto you page and vandalized your files. (As why your Site, He hated anything that was not gangsta or of gangster style and just ran across your site.) I regret all that has happened and hope for the best the damage was minimal(May I ask How bad The Damage Was? He usually like rape,porn and sex related "Stuff"). If you wish to contact me, Leave a message on this site, or more preferably on Halopedia on the Userpage WRAITH as I will likely forget this site and you message! Anyways I lok forward to seeing you in the future and wish you the best of Luck.

== WTF!?!? ==

You know, you've really demonstrated why I made the right choice to get the hell away from you furries.

I posted a warning about a person who vicitimized me, abused me, left me in a horrible financial situation, and even said he plans to kill someone, all of these FACTS, and you accuse me of attacking someone and delete the post, and don't even bother to contact me.

What the F*** is the matter with you?

Fine, to hell with you if you want to shield Siege, and let him continue to attack other furries. Your name will go down with a list of many others once Siege is put in jail for felony assault, fraud, domestic abuse and much more and the truth is known, the truth I am trying like hell to get out.

You can't imagine how pissed off this makes me feel. Every where I turn, there's Siege, lying, being protected, being allowed to, enabled, to abuse and possibly kill people because people like you can't have the common decency to check things out.

Why didn't I post proof? First, I didn't see a way to post images. Second, I can't legally post Siege's father's phone number. Third, I can't legally post the name of his employer so that that lie can be verified. Fourth, what the hell sense does it make for me to post the name and location of the person Siege has threatened to kill? What are you, f*ing stupid, or do you WANT to see him killed? Is that the only way you people will see the truth; or will you find some way to blame that on me too?

You know, its bad enough that Siege f*ed me over; took advantage of me, abused me, deprived me of my ability to finish college, much less survive; took away my ability to be financially independent (I'm disabled)...now I have to continue to be victimized by you, Maui, and all the other people who believe a sociopath over a victim.

I want you to do me, and yourself, and the furry community a HUGE f*ing favor. Try to imagine how I feel, what I"m going through...its quite easy, just pretend in that brain of yours, that what I said was all factual. If you can do that, if you can imagine what it was like for me, then you will understand how difficult it is to restrain myself from going totally off on you for this. {{unsignedIP|4.242.147.72}}

:What you posted was an essay, not an encyclopedia article. It was purely intended as an attack on the character of its subject and contained several unsubstantiated statements from your point of view. ''Regardless'' of whether or not it was true (something that none of us could have proved to our own satisfaction from the zero references given), it was not a good article. General policy in this case is to delete unsubstantiated attacks and stick with the bare minimum of facts that we can confirm. As none of it was referenced, the entire article was deleted (by [http://furry.wikia.com/index.php?title=Special%3ALog&type=delete&user=&page=Siegewolf another administrator], I might add - but I do agree with him).

:WikiFur is not the court of Internets justice. Nor is it our job to "check things out". If you wish to make such statements on WikiFur, it is ''your'' job to provide us with all the sources necessary to do so without risk. If there is a serious problem then you should go to the real world police and talk to them - and any action that they take will provide a series of referencable documents that can be used in the construction of an article, if necessary. If you want to make an assertion of facts that you cannot provide third-party proof for then you should do so on your personal web page or journal. This is not the place for it, any more than an issue of Encyclopedia Brittanica would be the place to announce new research or accuse someone of corruption.

:Ultimately, we do not wish to be responsible for defaming someone. Unless what you say is true, defamation is exactly what your essay is, and we're not willing to take that risk just on your word. There is a big difference between saying "Person X says this" and "we say this" - and your essay was the latter. If we say bad things about someone, we must take reasonable care to assure their accuracy, and that is why we insist on references in such cases - so that we can attribute accusations and base our own statements on verifiable facts. Without such proof, we risk opening ourselves up to legal liability for publishing statements with reckless disregard as to whether or not they are true. See the bottom of [[Sibe]] for the level of referencing that is considered appropriate. That article is not perfect in other ways, but we are at least reasonably sure that the statements within it are accurate and that we won't get sued for it. --[[User:GreenReaper|GreenReaper]]([[User talk:GreenReaper|talk]]) 07:42, 1 July 2007 (UTC)

::::I must admit that I do not know Blondefoxy/[[Lucky Coyote|Lucky]] personally, and indeed I did not know that was another name of hers.

==Question from RVDDP2501/possible new article==

Hey GreenReaper, listen, I'm sorry to bother you. I just found out on the internet about some new comic book from Image Comics called "The Astounding Wolf-Man", there is a rather small page about it on wikipedia.org. my question is should there be an article about it here as well, I've never asked about making a page here about something on wikipedia before so I'm not sure about my place here in asking this question or if there is even a need to make one, I just thought I'd ask considering the subject matter of the comic since it deals with well a werewolf. I hope I haven't bothered you with my (hopefully not a stupid) question, ok then, see ya and I look forward to your question - [[User:RVDDP2501|RVDDP2501]] 01:57, 4 July 2007 (UTC)

:Tricky question. I'm not sure there is a need, since it doesn't really seem all that furry to me. I could be wrong, but it seems to be more of a classical werewolf/vampire/creatures of the night thing. A reviewer [http://www.ifanboy.com/archive/weblog/ifanboy_preview.html didn't think much of it] on its giveaway in [[Wikipedia:Free Comic Book Day|Free Comic Book Day]]. Here's some [http://www.comicbookresources.com/news/newsitem.cgi?id=11010 pictures from issue 2]. I'd personally give it a few more issues to see if it turns out to have any kind of a lasting impact, or starts to go beyond the "oh me, oh my, I'm a werewolf, I have super powers to do good and/or evil" genre. But that's just me. --[[User:GreenReaper|GreenReaper]]([[User talk:GreenReaper|talk]]) 03:17, 4 July 2007 (UTC)

== Wikipedia Extinctioners Page ==

Hey GreenReaper, I was wondering if I could ask your opinion or help on the Wikipedia Extinctioners page. The Page had a second deletion debate and survived but in the process, all links to the Wikifur page were removed, I was wondering what can be done, can a link to the main page be put back in the external links section? there was this huge wikifur link removal thing which I only heard bits and pieces about which I think was envolved with the links being removed. I would really like to put back the link since the wikifur article has much better coverage on the topic but I just don't know if doing so would restart the removal process or threaten my membership with wikipedia. What do you think I should do? Oh, here is the link to the question posted by Labfox - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Extinctioners#Wikifur_Link - [[User:RVDDP2501|RVDDP2501]] 21:26, 6 July 2007 (UTC)

== Request from RVDDP2501 (New Category) ==

Hey GreenReaper, I'm sorry to bother you but I was wondering if you maybe able to do something for me, I was wondering if you could create a new category for the extinctioners characters, specifically those who have appeared/debuted in a side comic called "Artic Blue" in the Extinctioners universe. The characters who have or will appear are the [[Extinctioners#Fem_Fatales|Fem Fatales]], [[The Cerberus Brothers]], [[Vincent Blackphox]], [[Reggy Bryghttail]] and a few others who will come later. You can view these comics at the extinctioners website or on Shawntae's art pages at deviantart.com or furaffinity.net. So I guess the name of the category would be called Artic Blue comic characters or something along those lines, thank you and once again, I'm sorry to bother you with this, see ya :) - [[User:RVDDP2501|RVDDP2501]] 13:46, 8 August 2007 (UTC)

Just re-posting what I put in the talk section of that page, in case you didnt check: It's not personal drama any more than the "Krystal Meme". Trust me, this has effected a LOT of furaffinity members. I added it because I thought people out of the know needed a place to find out what was going on without having to wait for the monstrous page to load, or hear about it from biased, or angered sources. It has already reached LiveJournal and EncyclopediaDramatica, a place I doubt one can find unbiased furry news.

== "See also" Re: "How To Be a Furry" ==

"''It is a WikiFur article''". Yes, but don't we follow that "See also"s links should be reserved to "related" Wikifur articles?; In this case, [[Crush! Yiff! Destroy!]], [[LOLfurries]] and [[Furfags.com]] are "related" due to their purpose and function; on the [[Drama]] article, [[Fursecution]] and [[Schadenfreude]] are "related" on the "See also" for their meaning and intent; On the [[Anthropomorphic]] article, etc, etc,..

Right now, [[How To Be a Furry]] is the odd man out on a "See also" that lists related web sites with this type of content, hence the "See also"s directs to '''related''' Wikifur/Wikipedia/Wiki articles and entries only''. Didn't say it was not a Wikifur article, just that needed to be "related." [[User:Spirou|Spirou]] 03:03, 9 October 2007 (UTC)

: I placed [[How To Be a Furry]] under CYD's "See Also:" because CYD hosts the main online version of the article, and it's a satire article about furry drama and the [[furry fandom]] in general, which is certainly in CYD's domain. If CYD thought the work fit their motives enough to be hosted on their site, then that's related enough to CYD for my tastes. [[User:Jigsaw Forte|Jigsaw Forte]] 03:29, 9 October 2007 (UTC)

::CYD hosts a plethora a articles, images and miscellany in the vein of "How To Be a Furry."

== Strange layout issue ==

Hi GreenReaper,
I've just been tinkering with the [[Furfire]] article which for some very odd and unusual reason was causing the entire Wiki CSS layout to collapse in a rather horrible way (See [http://users.bigpond.net.au/coles/Data/strangelayout.png image]). The strange thing is that it only seems that it only affected the most recent revision of the article despite there being the same markup in the article. (I originally noticed something wrong with [http://furry.wikia.com/index.php?title=Furfire&oldid=167083 rev. 167083] but when I look at it in the history the layout appears to be just fine.

The bit of markup that I believe to be possibly suspect is:

<code><nowiki><div style="float:right">__TOC__</div></nowiki></code>

Once I removed this it appeared to come good. Does this make any sense to you why this would happen? I even dropped over to IE7 just in case my version of Firefox was on the fritz, but it persisted there too.

It looks like it's fixed now - but I still feel that that was really quite odd. -[[User:Composingliger|Composingliger]] 14:39, 19 October 2007 (UTC)

:This is due to a problem with the cached version of such pages when edited by either anonymous users or users with the wikiwyg system turned on, which incorporates additional markup into the page. The root cause is that it encloses things in a span and half of the div is within the span. I had hoped they would have fixed this by now, but it appears not. --[[User:GreenReaper|GreenReaper]]([[User talk:GreenReaper|talk]]) 15:16, 19 October 2007 (UTC)
::Alright, in that case I guess there's not all that much more that can be done that hasn't already been fixed. Thanks for the clarification. -[[User:Composingliger|Composingliger]] 15:31, 19 October 2007 (UTC)

== Hi! ==

Uhm hiya. I'm new here to this Wiki, but I have been a furry for a while, and I'm kind of clueless when it comes to Wikis. How do I start off? ^^;

[[User:Toshiro Kitteh|Toshiro Kitteh]] 17:21, 12 November 2007 (UTC)

:Hi there, Toshiro! Probably the best way is to have a look at the [[help]], including our [[WikiFur:Policies and guidelines|policies and guidelines]], and then read some of the [[WikiFur:Featured articles/Complete|featured articles]] (not just the summaries) to get a good idea of the sort of material that makes a good article. You can click Edit on any of these pages to see how they were put together.
:After that, consider making a few edits to an article yourself. Some people start by trying to write an article about themselves in the third person (i.e. [[Toshiro Kitteh]]), but it is by no means a requirement. You might just want to use your [[User:Toshiro Kitteh|user page]] to describe yourself more personally - or you might not want to write about yourself at all, but something that interests you.

== Dalhusky the dog here. ==

Hello, GreenReaper. It has been about three years since I wrote that "Furry Irony" post.
At this moment, I am somewhat of a different person now than I was when I posted that article. I cannot easily explain what I mean by that. I am a very complicated person.
----
But what I am trying to say is that I have been blown away by the fact that so many people like to hate and bash people like me for being aroused by a cartoon picture or a real animal. I have certain [[Zoophilia|likings]] that even many furries detest. I also bailed out of a troll war on YouTube and canceled my MaxSnowDog account in hopes of removing some terrible baggage recently due to my trying to tell people about my beliefs with regards to [[zoophilia]] and getting threats along with a very stupid E.D. article about me. Maybe we could talk together sometime because I would rather chat than post because of the way I'm feeling currently.

== Sarafina ==

Hello.

I would like to request for removal of http://furry.wikia.com/wiki/Image:Sarafina.jpg as being a personal offensive hoax submitted by some hater. This is not my photo! :( Also i would like to ask you to remove http://furry.wikia.com/wiki/Image:SaffyWowMeSm.jpg as is was a beta-version of some early art posted without my permission thus violating the copyright law. Also the history of http://furry.wikia.com/wiki/Sarafina_(artist) contains a hoax personal information(real name and adress) that is highly offensive to me. Please, purge it from data base. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by [[User:Sarafina(the artist)|Sarafina(the artist)]] ([[User talk:Sarafina(the artist)|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Sarafina(the artist)|contribs]]) {{{2|}}}.

For one thing, real Sarafina does not speak English well enough to know the words "hoax", "purge" and "violating" (real Russian would use the words "lie", "delete" and "break" -- these are the words we are taught in schools for the respective verbs.) As sich, I'm gonna protect that page for the time being since somebody seem to be trying to peck on it. -- [[User:Wesha|Wesha]] 16:01, 29 November 2007 (UTC)

==Furry sexuality survey==
Hi there.

I was wanting to report a story on WikiFur News, but seeing as how I am one of the people involved with the story, I do not believe I am able to under WikiFur rules.

The story in question is that I have organised a survey to look into furry sexuality - the first survey to look pacificly into this topic. It is reported in ''[http://robomilk.sirkain.net/ft/4/sexuality_survey/ The Furtean Times]''. So far, over 100 people have answered the survey, and granted, a few issues have been brought up. If you want to write up the story or ask me questions about it, please ask me.

How do you mess with the colors/shading on a wiki table? I proposed something like that for [[Talk:Homosexuality|this page]]. [[User:Boingo|Boingo]] 07:49, 27 December 2007 (UTC)

:Same as on a normal HTML table, except that there are certain limitations to prevent problems (most notably, you can't set an image as a background unless you do so via sitewide CSS). Probably what you would find most useful is the background-color style. Have a look at any HTML tutorial out there and you should find some tips on HTML tables that you can put to use here. You might also find [http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Help:Table Help:Table] useful. --[[User:GreenReaper|GreenReaper]]([[User talk:GreenReaper|talk]]) 08:05, 27 December 2007 (UTC)

== RBW ==
Having resolved the previous 2 issues, I've come across another which would be the table that's now in the main [[RBW]] article, that lists 2006-8 and the GoH and staff. Although there are now staff and GoH pages, the links in the table are still directing to the edit section of the categories and I can't figure why. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by [[User:Axle|Axle]] ([[User talk:Axle|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Axle|contribs]]) {{{2|}}}.
:It takes a moment for the wiki software to fully update the links - to prevent locking, it does not do so immediately, but defers such actions to spread across page accesses. It is blue now. If in the future you see such problems, try adding ?action=purge to the URL (or &action=purge if a ? is already in the URL). --[[User:GreenReaper|GreenReaper]]([[User talk:GreenReaper|talk]]) 23:59, 28 December 2007 (UTC)
::Was just popping back to mention that I may have jumped the gun somewhat, but thanks again for taking the time to respond to my misguided queries.

== These might be stupid questions... ==

but I still would like to ask:

*Is it always unacceptable to add a link to [[[encyclopedia dramatica]] to a page (Looking something like this: <nowiki>[http://encyclopediadramatica.com/Aeris A satrical take on the 'Mary Sue' phenomenon]</nowiki>), or does it depend on the circumstances?
*What's the policy on using someone's real, birth-cirtificate listed name in their biographical article?
*What's the policy on using real life pictures in biographical articles?
*Since they're so short and they don't really have any prospects for more content, shouldn't the articles '[[bisexual]]' and '[[heterosexual]]' be merged into '[[homosexual]]' to create '[[sexual preference]]'?
[[User:Boingo|Boingo]] 05:03, 29 December 2007 (UTC)
:All content decisions are made on a case by case basis. However, ED rarely makes a good link, due to its habit of putting a highly negative spin on any subject that it covers (except for those which result in the glorification of drama). Its editors are also quite willing to make things up if doing so results in "lulz". For these reasons and others, linking to ED is strongly discouraged, and I would advise you to treat anything you find there with caution. For the specific example you give, there seems no reason not to just use an interwiki link to Wikipedia, which has a perfectly good article on the topic. We would not need to have a separate article as it is not a furry topic.
:Our policy with birth names is to look at whether or not that name is being concealed in any way. For example, many artists actually go by their real names. Others use fan names alongside their real names. Still others make no mention of their real names, even on the websites containing their work. In the latter case, the use of the real name (if you know it) is probably not appropriate. Real names will usually be removed on request from the subject.
:The same thing goes for real life pictures. If you know, or have reason to believe that someone would not want their picture on WikiFur, it is probably best not to put it here. On the other hand, many people do not mind, and it can be a useful means of identification.
:Don't really have an opinion on the last. If you think doing so would make a better encyclopedia, you should do so. --[[User:GreenReaper|GreenReaper]]([[User talk:GreenReaper|talk]]) 06:24, 29 December 2007 (UTC)

::I made the changes. I'd like to ask you some things about the '[[sexual preference]]' page.
*I wrote a snippet saying that some people think that sexual orientation is an artificial construct and does not really exist. But I don't know of any furries advocating that position besides the one person that I linked.
*I altered the colors on the table so it has the holistic, ying-yang style of intermixed pink and blue. I tried to lighten the colors a lot compared to my first try at it. How does it look now?
*I wrote a section saying that a cordial split exists among Christian furs between those who believe homosexuality is immoral and those who disagree. Is this accurate? Or do all (or nearly all) of the Christian furries accept homosexuality? The only anti-gay-marriage furry that I know of is [[Prince Jeremy]].*
*I'd like to find citations for the theories saying ''since having a [[non-furry]] significant other and raising children may result in a fan having less time and money to devote to the fandom, gays are over-represented because they are less likely to be raising children'' and ''Others guess that gays are not over-represented, but that they are simply much more likely to be open about their sexual orientation among their fellow fans than they are in other areas of their life.''
*One other theory is that the demographics of the fandom is reasonably close to the general population. It just happens that people who become furries (a 'coming out' of sorts) become more exposed to alternate lifestyles (which might result in a paralell 'coming out'). I considered adding this to the article, but I didn't because it seems overly speculative.

<nowiki>*</nowiki>Based on his infamous "you all belong in concentration camps" comment. [[User:Boingo|Boingo]] 23:44, 31 December 2007 (UTC)

:I have made [http://furry.wikia.com/index.php?title=Sexual_preference&diff=177377&oldid=177376 further edits]. Some general points:
:*If you are intending to move one page to another title, use the Move tab at the top rather than cut and pasting. Doing the latter breaks the edit history, and deprives others of the credit for their prior edits, which is required for [[WikiFur:Copyrights|GFDL]] compliance.
:*Link to Wikipedia by using <nowiki>[[Wikipedia:Article name|text to display]]</nowiki>.
:*Per the [[WikiFur:Furry Book of Style|style guide]], only the first word of titles should be capitalized unless the word would normally be capitalized (like a name).
:*Use a spellchecker. :-) If you use a [http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-beta.html recent beta of Firefox] it will have one built in.
:To answer your questions:
:*The table looks fine to me.
:*I suspect there are some who are less than enthused about it, but I do not know for sure. You could always ask the community of Christian furs (or see if the question has been asked already). Jeremy would be an outlier for most purposes.
:*I'm not sure you can really get a citation for that, but you could give examples of involvement in such activities. For example, very significant proportions of the leadership at [[convention]]s and other furry events are gay, including key members of (at least) [[List of conventions by attendance|the top five event by attendance]], as well as the larger ones overseas. I should note that leadership in this area is not exclusive - as far as I know, there is no "anti-breeder" bias - but if you look closely it is a very clear trend. It might be because gay community members are more interested in organizing communal events. I don't know.
:*Possible. I think the current situation is a combination of this effect and others. Again, more research is required. --[[User:GreenReaper|GreenReaper]]([[User talk:GreenReaper|talk]]) 21:31, 1 January 2008 (UTC)

== Editing/Deleting account name ==

Hey there GreenReaper =D I've got a question for yah =P

Is it possible on Wikis to edit your name after it's been registered? I don't just mean a nickname or 'Real Name' on the preferences page, but the one used to log in and the title of a User Page.

I'd like to know because I want to revamp my fusona, and thought it would be a bit selfish to create a whole new account as well as one I wouldn't use anymore.

Big thanks if it's possible =) [[User:Listeel|Aetherfax]] 15:50, 12 January 2008 (UTC)

:Unfortunately, Wikia does not offer such a "rename" function (partly due to complication involved with updating all 3000+ wikis with a new name). It is probably best to just go ahead and make the registration, then move the old user page to the new one, using the Move tab - or if there was not one, just use a #REDIRECT. Make sure to update the page about you, too. :-) --[[User:GreenReaper|GreenReaper]]([[User talk:GreenReaper|talk]]) 16:51, 12 January 2008 (UTC)

== Comics and webcomics ==

Hi again. I don't think you remember me, but that isn't important now.
I have a couple of questions (sorry my horrible english). I've saw here furry webcomics being show.
My questions:

1. There are specific rules for publish information for a webcomic?
2. What it needs a webcomic for being considered "furry"? I ask this because in [[VG Cats]], even if the main characters are 2 furry cats, the comic isn't furry.

Why I ask this? Because I have a webcomic. The main character is a fuzzy furry creature, but even if she uses its furry enchant for charming everyone this webcomic is ambiented in the "real world".

And the other thing: A webcomic, must to be in english for being here? Because the comic is in spanish (my naive language).

Thanks for the time for answering those questions :) --[[Usuario:DragonTrainer|<big>D</big>ragon<big>T</big>rainer]] - Flamewars [[User_talk:DragonTrainer| here]], please. 12:42, 14 January 2008 (UTC)

:Hi DragonTrainer! Apologies for the delay, I've been a bit busy at work recently.
:There is no requirement for comics to be in English - indeed, we are quite interested in hearing about such things in other languages. The language of the comic should be noted on the article. Similarly, it is not a requirement for events to take place in a completely furry world - a comic dealing with the actions of a single furry character or group of characters is fine.
:As for the information - ideally the things we write on WikiFur are facts that could be taken from the website about the comic, or from other sources. If the comic is in Spanish, then it is fine for that information to be in Spanish there, as long as your summary of it on WikiFur is in English. --[[User:GreenReaper|GreenReaper]]([[User talk:GreenReaper|talk]]) 04:55, 15 January 2008 (UTC)

== Vorderman Post ==

Hi Spirou Can i please have some clarification if a factual event that happned at EF13 warents a post on wikifur. As southpaw is pretty adiment that it is not witin guidelines for Wikifur (Sorry My first article so its going to be a mess!)

Reasons that i think it deserved a post was that around 80% of the con actualy was into it at one point. The dance floor errupting and a few of the orginazers such as cheetah and uncle kage got in on the act. A lot of furrs have since asked "what was it all about" {{unsigned|WolfieUk|20:34, 12 September 2007 (UTC)}}

:No problem. As it stands, the entry is about a very localized, spur of the moment, event that, all thought occurring in a furry convention and propagated by furs, it (at this time,) doesn't stand out, or being furry common enough, to warrant it's own entry (vs something like [[Krystal can't enjoy her sandwich]], which, all though quick and new, it crossed all layers of furry fandom very quickly in a popular fashion with a lot of people, enough to be noteworthy.)

:It could be, instead of putting up to discuss its appropriateness as a standalone Wikifur article, merged as a section on the [[Eurofurence 13]] article, as Rat has already suggested to do [[User:Spirou|Spirou]] 23:39, 12 September 2007 (UTC)

After reviewing the [[Special:Contributions/74.15.21.167|recent edits]] by this anonymous user, it is not obvious to me like they were acts of vandalism/bad faith. Questionable, perhaps, but possibly worthy of further discussion before taking action against this user. Are you familiar enough with the subject matter of the articles edited to be able to say otherwise? --[[User:Mwalimu|mwalimu]] 18:07, 8 October 2007 (UTC)

:No, it wasn't actually the initial edits that made me reverse the changes, but the final two touches of taking out the contributor template ("uh?, why?",) and the little tweak on the Road Rover article (cute.) Not precisely nice final touches to try to seriously assert your prior arguments/edits [[User:Spirou|Spirou]] 18:23, 8 October 2007 (UTC)

== Wiki-style Disagreement ==

I prefer dictionary-tabbing out segments versus making sub-segments, especially when the topics covered are short enough that they could be covered in a bulleted list (not to mention it causes that ugly Table Of Contents to show up, which is really unnecessary when we're discussing many short definitions). I consider it more 'wiki-like' in making sure the content is not obscured by needless details, and in this case your changes are the equivalent of a ten-pound parcel for a ten-ounce cargo.

I would really rather you leave my edits in that regard alone. I don't mind content being corrected, but the 'many small segments' appearance really bothers me, unless you intend on expanding each of the segments in [[How To Be a Furry]] out into sizable enough portions to be worth the alteration fairly soon. [[User:Jigsaw Forte|Jigsaw Forte]] 03:40, 9 October 2007 (UTC)

:Actually, it has nothing to do with the type of edit you prefer, instead of more on the formatting that Wikifur generally uses ([[Help:Furry_Book_of_Style]].) Not ribbing, or trying to get your goat, or, simply, "f**** with you," really, just following old formatting rules, which there are a few I also feel should be changed to be more pleasing looking. If you feel the type of format you're using could help enhance articles, please, do put the discussion forth =)

:In the mean time, no malice was intended with the formatting of the article [[User:Spirou|Spirou]] 03:50, 9 October 2007 (UTC)

== Revert ==

Why did you revert [http://furry.wikia.com/index.php?title=DrGamez&diff=166253&oldid=166215 this]? It's not really nice to have lots of unsourced rumors on an article about a real person. [[User:Hendrik18|Hendrik18]] 16:20, 14 October 2007 (UTC)

:Such list was not taken out, even when its user made edits to [http://furry.wikia.com/index.php?title=DrGamez&direction=next&oldid=64175 it], which either means that (A) they were written by him or (B) he didn't have a problem with them. That's why the revert,...

:But, looking at it again, even if the reasons listed above are correct, this kind of fluff writing belongs in the contributor's user page, which does have the same [http://furry.wikia.com/wiki/User:DrGamez list] anyways, so re-reverting to your edit after all [[User:Spirou|Spirou]] 22:13, 14 October 2007 (UTC)

I respectfully request the future link 'Vampire' not be included (hence my removing it upon its addition the first time) as Queen Vampire is my title and my vampire mythos varies greatly from most the common ones found.

I think a month block without any warnings first is a bit too harsh for this IP address.

When I was at MFF I heard complaints about the security person from multiple people(though I wasn't affected and didn't hear any specifics), so there may or may not be a grain of truth in the complaint. As written, the article wasn't acceptable, so I don't mind scrapping it and having them start over. --[[User:Rat|Rat]] 19:15, 26 November 2007 (UTC)

Sibe:

[[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 that of a [[Siberian Husky]], the [[dog]] breed from which he derived his name.

== Controversy ==

==== Trolling and wares ====

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 [[:Category:Artists|furry artists]] from 2001 through 2006, that has permanently cemented his current reputation with the fandom with this subsequent actions.

==== Bans ====

He also has the dubious unique honor of having been banned by at a major and some minor [[convention]]s - [[Further Confusion]]. 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]] 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>

The comic ''[[West Corner Of the Park (comic)|West Corner of the Park]]'' has depicted Sibe as a giant slug,<ref>http://www.graphxpress.com/cgi-bin/wcotp.cgi?date=20060319</ref><ref>http://www.graphxpress.com/cgi-bin/wcotp.cgi?date=20011110</ref><ref>http://www.graphxpress.com/cgi-bin/wcotp.cgi?date=20020107</ref> although this includes an element of artistic license.

==== Timeline ====

[[Image:Sibe.jpg|right|thumb|Sibe: "Big snugly husky dog that luvs everyone. <3"]]
*'''9 December 1995''': Sibe arrested for Assault in the Fourth Degree against his father. He was sentenced to three months probation, 16 hours community service (time served), and lost his right to possess firearms in Washington State. Terms of his probation include not engaging in unwanted physical contact with family members and others, typical conditions for a juvinile convicted of Assault in the Fourth Degree.
*'''6 March 1996''': Sibe is again arrested for DV-Assault 4 against his father. The hearing was delayed due to him being checked into a psychiatric institution in the state of Idaho. It is currently unknown how long he was in the institution. A warrant was issued for his arrest for failure to appear and was valid for almost 18 months until he filed for quashing the warrant on his 18th birthday for the juvenile court's lack of jurisdiction. The King County Prosecutor's office declined to prosecute him in adult court for that incident and the case was dismissed.
*'''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.
*'''1-3 July, 1999'': Sibe attends Anthrocon 99 on a shoestring budget. Raps with silfur. Buys 90 bucks worth of porn from James hardiman. Asked wookie "Is it just line art and cheezy photoshop tricks?" And then he pulled out some oil painting. His e-penis is huge. He got to help change Mathias Blackwolfs tire. Went to some furries house and watched that skuck chick bone herself with that plushie dildo thingy . She came like *Gallons* and literally like 8 furries just watched. It was like.. wow.... And apparently sibe kept the rag that she came all over as a souviner. Pretty gross huh? Anyways, sibe also hung out with some dude who took him down to a fur friendly copy store so i could get some full color laser copies of my 90 dollar investment :) He got copies of all his investment as well. Sibe got really drunk and hung out in a wife beater. He was tickled non-consentually by all five members of his room until he almost peed. Didnt buy a sibe badge from anyone. Had a blast tho!
*'''6 March 2001''': After Sibe had already lost the right to possess firearms in the state of Washington, he is arrested for violating ORS (short for Oregon Revised Statute) 166.370, possession of a loaded firearm in a public building, specifically Herald College in Portland, OR. He possessed a shotgun on the grounds of an educational institution in his duffel bag, which is illegal unless you fall into one of the exceptions in the statute. He is given pre-trial intervention/diversion, where if he had not been arrested for any further crimes, his charge would have been dismissed.
[[Image:PafSibeBadge.jpg|right|thumb|Sibe, by [[Chris Goodwin]]]]
*'''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.
*'''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.
*'''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).
*'''May 2002''': A warrant is issued for the arrest of Sibe for failure to appear in court in Issaquah, Washington in regards to his reckless driving charge. This was not taken care of until September 2004.
*'''3 May 2002''': A hearing is held in regards to possible release. His attorney identifies Sibe as having significant psychiatric problems, including being diagnosed as having bipolar disorder by two different psychiatrists in his youth. Disciplinary problems include: Fighting, flooding his cell with water causing $1500 worth of damage, failing to follow directions of jail deputies. As a result of his disciplinary problems, he was put under lock-down. Judge Beckman orders the jail to allow a psychiatrist into the jail for his psychiatric care.
*'''5 December 2002''': Sibe is sentenced to 36 months of probation plus time served, and is ordered to obey all laws, restricted internet usage, and to not use drugs, among other provisions.
*'''7 November 2003''': Lonnie Wilson (aka lokithegreycoyote) Makes a false rape report to a police officer. After giving the statement to the officer, the officer concludes that it was "rough gay sex" and not forcible rape. Meanwhile Lonnie Wilson is recruiting other furries to bring a group rape suit against sibe, attemting to ruin his sexual credibility in the hypersexual world of the furry fandom.
*'''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 Ross Reddick 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.
*'''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.
*'''November 2004''': Sibe moves to Bellevue, Washington from Portland, Oregon and did not notify his probation judge.
*'''6 December 2004''': Sibe is sentenced to 1 year of probation by the King County District Court for his reckless driving case from 2001.
*'''28 December 2004''': After being unable to find Sibe's current address due to lack of notification of his move to Washington State in late November 2004, and failing to appear to a probation hearing due to a report of illegal activities by the [[Wikipedia:Federal Bureau of Investigation|FBI]], Judge Douglas Beckman of the Multnomah County Circuit Court issues a warrant for Sibe's arrest with no bail allowed. The warrant was not extraditable outside of Oregon.
*'''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.
*'''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>
*'''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''.
*'''September 2005''': Sibe moves back to Portland, Oregon from Bellevue, Washington. He does not notify his probation judge in Washington of his new address in Oregon. In this month his Oregon warrant was also updated to extraditable from Washington, Idaho, and Western Montana as part of a change in policy in regards dealing with felony offenses against persons in Oregon, due to the ability of criminals previous to this to run to Washington and evade capture.
*'''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]]]]
*'''5 February 2006''': Sibe was booked into Multnomah County (Oregon) Justice Center by officers of the [http://www.portlandonline.com/police/?&c=29708 Portland Police Bureau] for the warrant issued on 28 December 2004. As he now had a fixed address (Multnomah County Justice Center), he was process-served for various lawsuits and orders of protection. Despite speculation on various sites that the "DV-Coercion" notation in the booking log indicated that he committed a new domestic violence offense, particularly against his mate Bound Wolf, the real reason why Multnomah County Sheriff's noted the DV-Coercion in his booking file was due to the charge that he was convicted of in 2002 in exchange for his plea of no contest. Whether this was intentional or an error on their part is unknown.
*'''14 February 2006''': Sibe's Greatest Journal was deleted, though not by Sibe since he was still in custody at the time. It was not suspended by Greatest Journal.
*'''17 February 2006''': A hearing for violation of probation is convened at 9:30AM at Multnomah County Circuit Courthouse. Judge Douglas Beckman presiding. Sibe stipulates to evading the warrant for his arrest and continued to abscond, use of internet outside of Judge Beckman's authorization, and stipulation to the use of marijuana, as well as traffic violations. Judge Beckman, during the defense attorney's statements about Sibe's accomplishments of having a job for nearly a year, brought up the issue of police reports filed for sexual abuse and misconduct by four different persons, including the father of a 2 year old girl who accused Sibe of sexually abusing his daughter. The father of the 2 year old was deported and as a result the case was dropped due to the lack of witnesses (the daughter was removed from the country by ICE with her father). His computer is ordered seized and turned over to the Federal Bureau of Investigation for forensic examination. The hearing is held over until 7 March 2006 for hearing. Sibe offers up a Compaq laptop as his personal computer.
*'''7 March 2006''': Due to Sibe's misrepresenting to the court that his Compaq laptop was his only personal computer (the FBI forensics examiners determined that the computer was a "brick," "ancient", and had only been used three times since 2003 for dial up usage), along with the stipulations to his violations of probation, he receives a 6 month jail sentence for the probation violations, plus 3 years' parole. His 30 days held at the Multnomah County (Oregon) Justice Center thus far does not count as time served toward this sentence due primarily to his misrepresentation to the court.
*'''23 March 2006''': An email is sent from [http://www.vinelink.com VINElink] victim notification services that he was released from Oregon Department of Corrections. However, he is still in Multnomah County Jail until 3 September 2006 according to Multnomah County Jail Custody Records, and his other entries into VINElink indicate that he is still in the custody of Multnomah County Jail. A search through [http://www.inmatereleases.org/ Multnomah County Jail Inmate Early Releases Database] indicates that he has not been released, either.
*'''1 September 2006''': Sibe is released from jail and put under the supervision of the Oregon Department of Corrections for a period of 3 years. The slightly early release is due to the calculated release date not being on a government business day.
*'''12 May 2007''': Sibe announces that a warrant for his arrest has been issued, as he has avoided seeing his probation officer due to continued failures to pass a [[Wikipedia:urinalysis|urinalysis]] since the prior September.<ref>''[http://www.greatestjournal.com/users/evilsibe/112095.html Warrant for my arrest], Sibe (12 May 2007)</ref> He suggests that he is likely to do "a little time in county", and offers to post his address so people can write to him in jail. He is listed as an absconder from community supervision on VINElink.<ref name="VINElink">[http://www.vinelink.com/ VINElink offender detail] (search Oregon for Ross Reddick), accessed 19 August 2007</ref>
*'''28 May 2007''': Sibe is permanently banned from the [[FurAffinity]]'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.{cite}

Evil Sibe

2008-01-19T07:15:55Z

Sibe: Clarified, speculative.

[[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 that of a [[Siberian Husky]], the [[dog]] breed from which he derived his name.

== Controversy ==

==== Trolling and wares ====

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 [[:Category:Artists|furry artists]] from 2001 through 2006, that has permanently cemented his current reputation with the fandom with this subsequent actions.

==== Bans ====

He also has the dubious unique honor of having been banned by at a major and some minor [[convention]]s - [[Further Confusion]]. 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]] 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>

The comic ''[[West Corner Of the Park (comic)|West Corner of the Park]]'' has depicted Sibe as a giant slug,<ref>http://www.graphxpress.com/cgi-bin/wcotp.cgi?date=20060319</ref><ref>http://www.graphxpress.com/cgi-bin/wcotp.cgi?date=20011110</ref><ref>http://www.graphxpress.com/cgi-bin/wcotp.cgi?date=20020107</ref> although this includes an element of artistic license.

==== Timeline ====

[[Image:Sibe.jpg|right|thumb|Sibe: "Big snugly husky dog that luvs everyone. <3"]]
*'''9 December 1995''': Sibe arrested for Domestic Violence Assault in the Fourth Degree against his father. He was sentenced to three months probation, 16 hours community service (time served), and lost his right to possess firearms in Washington State. Terms of his probation include not engaging in unwanted physical contact with family members and others.
*'''6 March 1996''': Sibe is again arrested for DV-Assault 4 against his father. The hearing was delayed due to him being checked into a psychiatric institution in the state of Idaho. It is currently unknown how long he was in the institution. A warrant was issued for his arrest for failure to appear and was valid for almost 18 months until he filed for quashing the warrant on his 18th birthday for the juvenile court's lack of jurisdiction. The King County Prosecutor's office declined to prosecute him in adult court for that incident and the case was dismissed.
*'''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.
*'''1-3 July, 1999'': Sibe attends Anthrocon 99 on a shoestring budget. Raps with silfur. Buys 90 bucks worth of porn from James hardiman. Asked wookie "Is it just line art and cheezy photoshop tricks?" And then he pulled out some oil painting. His e-penis is huge. He got to help change Mathias Blackwolfs tire. Went to some furries house and watched that skuck chick bone herself with that plushie dildo thingy . She came like *Gallons* and literally like 8 furries just watched. It was like.. wow.... And apparently sibe kept the rag that she came all over as a souviner. Pretty gross huh? Anyways, sibe also hung out with some dude who took him down to a fur friendly copy store so i could get some full color laser copies of my 90 dollar investment :) He got copies of all his investment as well. Sibe got really drunk and hung out in a wife beater. He was tickled non-consentually by all five members of his room until he almost peed. Didnt buy a sibe badge from anyone. Had a blast tho!
*'''6 March 2001''': After Sibe had already lost the right to possess firearms in the state of Washington, he is arrested for violating ORS (short for Oregon Revised Statute) 166.370, possession of a loaded firearm in a public building, specifically Herald College in Portland, OR. He possessed a shotgun on the grounds of an educational institution in his duffel bag, which is illegal unless you fall into one of the exceptions in the statute. He is given pre-trial intervention/diversion, where if he had not been arrested for any further crimes, his charge would have been dismissed.
[[Image:PafSibeBadge.jpg|right|thumb|Sibe, by [[Chris Goodwin]]]]
*'''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.
*'''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.
*'''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).
*'''May 2002''': A warrant is issued for the arrest of Sibe for failure to appear in court in Issaquah, Washington in regards to his reckless driving charge. This was not taken care of until September 2004.
*'''3 May 2002''': A hearing is held in regards to possible release. His attorney identifies Sibe as having significant psychiatric problems, including being diagnosed as having bipolar disorder by two different psychiatrists in his youth. Disciplinary problems include: Fighting, flooding his cell with water causing $1500 worth of damage, failing to follow directions of jail deputies. As a result of his disciplinary problems, he was put under lock-down. Judge Beckman orders the jail to allow a psychiatrist into the jail for his psychiatric care.
*'''5 December 2002''': Sibe is sentenced to 36 months of probation plus time served, and is ordered to obey all laws, restricted internet usage, and to not use drugs, among other provisions.
*'''7 November 2003''': Lonnie Wilson (aka lokithegreycoyote) Makes a false rape report to a police officer. After giving the statement to the officer, the officer concludes that it was "rough gay sex" and not forcible rape. Meanwhile Lonnie Wilson is recruiting other furries to bring a group rape suit against sibe, attemting to ruin his sexual credibility in the hypersexual world of the furry fandom.
*'''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 Ross Reddick 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.
*'''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.
*'''November 2004''': Sibe moves to Bellevue, Washington from Portland, Oregon and did not notify his probation judge.
*'''6 December 2004''': Sibe is sentenced to 1 year of probation by the King County District Court for his reckless driving case from 2001.
*'''28 December 2004''': After being unable to find Sibe's current address due to lack of notification of his move to Washington State in late November 2004, and failing to appear to a probation hearing due to a report of illegal activities by the [[Wikipedia:Federal Bureau of Investigation|FBI]], Judge Douglas Beckman of the Multnomah County Circuit Court issues a warrant for Sibe's arrest with no bail allowed. The warrant was not extraditable outside of Oregon.
*'''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.
*'''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>
*'''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''.
*'''September 2005''': Sibe moves back to Portland, Oregon from Bellevue, Washington. He does not notify his probation judge in Washington of his new address in Oregon. In this month his Oregon warrant was also updated to extraditable from Washington, Idaho, and Western Montana as part of a change in policy in regards dealing with felony offenses against persons in Oregon, due to the ability of criminals previous to this to run to Washington and evade capture.
*'''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]]]]
*'''5 February 2006''': Sibe was booked into Multnomah County (Oregon) Justice Center by officers of the [http://www.portlandonline.com/police/?&c=29708 Portland Police Bureau] for the warrant issued on 28 December 2004. As he now had a fixed address (Multnomah County Justice Center), he was process-served for various lawsuits and orders of protection. Despite speculation on various sites that the "DV-Coercion" notation in the booking log indicated that he committed a new domestic violence offense, particularly against his mate Bound Wolf, the real reason why Multnomah County Sheriff's noted the DV-Coercion in his booking file was due to the charge that he was convicted of in 2002 in exchange for his plea of no contest. Whether this was intentional or an error on their part is unknown.
*'''14 February 2006''': Sibe's Greatest Journal was deleted, though not by Sibe since he was still in custody at the time. It was not suspended by Greatest Journal.
*'''17 February 2006''': A hearing for violation of probation is convened at 9:30AM at Multnomah County Circuit Courthouse. Judge Douglas Beckman presiding. Sibe stipulates to evading the warrant for his arrest and continued to abscond, use of internet outside of Judge Beckman's authorization, and stipulation to the use of marijuana, as well as traffic violations. Judge Beckman, during the defense attorney's statements about Sibe's accomplishments of having a job for nearly a year, brought up the issue of police reports filed for sexual abuse and misconduct by four different persons, including the father of a 2 year old girl who accused Sibe of sexually abusing his daughter. The father of the 2 year old was deported and as a result the case was dropped due to the lack of witnesses (the daughter was removed from the country by ICE with her father). His computer is ordered seized and turned over to the Federal Bureau of Investigation for forensic examination. The hearing is held over until 7 March 2006 for hearing. Sibe offers up a Compaq laptop as his personal computer.
*'''7 March 2006''': Due to Sibe's misrepresenting to the court that his Compaq laptop was his only personal computer (the FBI forensics examiners determined that the computer was a "brick," "ancient", and had only been used three times since 2003 for dial up usage), along with the stipulations to his violations of probation, he receives a 6 month jail sentence for the probation violations, plus 3 years' parole. His 30 days held at the Multnomah County (Oregon) Justice Center thus far does not count as time served toward this sentence due primarily to his misrepresentation to the court.
*'''23 March 2006''': An email is sent from [http://www.vinelink.com VINElink] victim notification services that he was released from Oregon Department of Corrections. However, he is still in Multnomah County Jail until 3 September 2006 according to Multnomah County Jail Custody Records, and his other entries into VINElink indicate that he is still in the custody of Multnomah County Jail. A search through [http://www.inmatereleases.org/ Multnomah County Jail Inmate Early Releases Database] indicates that he has not been released, either.
*'''1 September 2006''': Sibe is released from jail and put under the supervision of the Oregon Department of Corrections for a period of 3 years. The slightly early release is due to the calculated release date not being on a government business day.
*'''12 May 2007''': Sibe announces that a warrant for his arrest has been issued, as he has avoided seeing his probation officer due to continued failures to pass a [[Wikipedia:urinalysis|urinalysis]] since the prior September.<ref>''[http://www.greatestjournal.com/users/evilsibe/112095.html Warrant for my arrest], Sibe (12 May 2007)</ref> He suggests that he is likely to do "a little time in county", and offers to post his address so people can write to him in jail.

'''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 that of a [[Siberian Husky]], the [[dog]] breed from which he derived his name.

== Controversy ==

==== Trolling and wares ====

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 [[:Category:Artists|furry artists]] from 2001 through 2006, that has permanently cemented his current reputation with the fandom with this subsequent actions.

==== Bans ====

He also has the dubious unique honor of having been banned by at a major and some minor [[convention]]s - [[Further Confusion]]. 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]] 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>

The comic ''[[West Corner Of the Park (comic)|West Corner of the Park]]'' has depicted Sibe as a giant slug,<ref>http://www.graphxpress.com/cgi-bin/wcotp.cgi?date=20060319</ref><ref>http://www.graphxpress.com/cgi-bin/wcotp.cgi?date=20011110</ref><ref>http://www.graphxpress.com/cgi-bin/wcotp.cgi?date=20020107</ref> although this includes an element of artistic license.

==== Timeline ====

[[Image:Sibe.jpg|right|thumb|Sibe: "Big snugly husky dog that luvs everyone. <3"]]
*'''9 December 1995''': Sibe arrested for Domestic Violence Assault in the Fourth Degree against his father. He was sentenced to three months probation, 16 hours community service (time served), and lost his right to possess firearms in Washington State. Terms of his probation include not engaging in unwanted physical contact with family members and others.
*'''6 March 1996''': Sibe is again arrested for DV-Assault 4 against his father. The hearing was delayed due to him being checked into a psychiatric institution in the state of Idaho. It is currently unknown how long he was in the institution. A warrant was issued for his arrest for failure to appear and was valid for almost 18 months until he filed for quashing the warrant on his 18th birthday for the juvenile court's lack of jurisdiction. The King County Prosecutor's office declined to prosecute him in adult court for that incident and the case was dismissed.
*'''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.
*'''1-3 July, 1999'': Sibe attends Anthrocon 99 on a shoestring budget. Raps with silfur. Buys 90 bucks worth of porn from James hardiman. Asked wookie "Is it just line art and cheezy photoshop tricks?" And then he pulled out some oil painting. His e-penis is huge. He got to help change Mathias Blackwolfs tire. Went to some furries house and watched that skuck chick bone herself with that plushie dildo thingy . She came like *Gallons* and literally like 8 furries just watched. It was like.. wow.... And apparently sibe kept the rag that she came all over as a souviner. Pretty gross huh? Anyways, sibe also hung out with some dude who took him down to a fur friendly copy store so i could get some full color laser copies of my 90 dollar investment :) He got copies of all his investment as well. Sibe got really drunk and hung out in a wife beater. He was tickled non-consentually by all five members of his room until he almost peed. Didnt buy a sibe badge from anyone. Had a blast tho!
*'''6 March 2001''': After Sibe had already lost the right to possess firearms in the state of Washington, he is arrested for violating ORS (short for Oregon Revised Statute) 166.370, possession of a loaded firearm in a public building, specifically Herald College in Portland, OR. He possessed a shotgun on the grounds of an educational institution in his duffel bag, which is illegal unless you fall into one of the exceptions in the statute. He is given pre-trial intervention/diversion, where if he had not been arrested for any further crimes, his charge would have been dismissed.
[[Image:PafSibeBadge.jpg|right|thumb|Sibe, by [[Chris Goodwin]]]]
*'''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.
*'''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.
*'''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).
*'''May 2002''': A warrant is issued for the arrest of Sibe for failure to appear in court in Issaquah, Washington in regards to his reckless driving charge. This was not taken care of until September 2004.
*'''3 May 2002''': A hearing is held in regards to possible release. His attorney identifies Sibe as having significant psychiatric problems, including being diagnosed as having bipolar disorder by two different psychiatrists in his youth. Disciplinary problems include: Fighting, flooding his cell with water causing $1500 worth of damage, failing to follow directions of jail deputies. As a result of his disciplinary problems, he was put under lock-down. Judge Beckman orders the jail to allow a psychiatrist into the jail for his psychiatric care.
*'''5 December 2002''': Sibe is sentenced to 36 months of probation plus time served, and is ordered to obey all laws, restricted internet usage, and to not use drugs, among other provisions.
*'''7 November 2003''': Lonnie Wilson (aka lokithegreycoyote) Makes a false rape report to a police officer. After giving the statement to the officer, the officer concludes that it was "rough gay sex" and not forcible rape. Meanwhile Lonnie Wilson is recruiting other furries to bring a group rape suit against sibe, attemting to ruin his sexual credibility in the hypersexual world of the furry fandom.
*'''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 Ross Reddick 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.
*'''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.
*'''November 2004''': Sibe moves to Bellevue, Washington from Portland, Oregon and did not notify his probation judge.
*'''6 December 2004''': Sibe is sentenced to 1 year of probation by the King County District Court for his reckless driving case from 2001.
*'''28 December 2004''': After being unable to find Sibe's current address due to lack of notification of his move to Washington State in late November 2004, and failing to appear to a probation hearing due to a report of illegal activities by the [[Wikipedia:Federal Bureau of Investigation|FBI]], Judge Douglas Beckman of the Multnomah County Circuit Court issues a warrant for Sibe's arrest with no bail allowed. The warrant was not extraditable outside of Oregon.
*'''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.
*'''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>
*'''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''.
*'''September 2005''': Sibe moves back to Portland, Oregon from Bellevue, Washington. He does not notify his probation judge in Washington of his new address in Oregon. In this month his Oregon warrant was also updated to extraditable from Washington, Idaho, and Western Montana as part of a change in policy in regards dealing with felony offenses against persons in Oregon, due to the ability of criminals previous to this to run to Washington and evade capture.
*'''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]]]]
*'''5 February 2006''': Sibe was booked into Multnomah County (Oregon) Justice Center by officers of the [http://www.portlandonline.com/police/?&c=29708 Portland Police Bureau] for the warrant issued on 28 December 2004. As he now had a fixed address (Multnomah County Justice Center), he was process-served for various lawsuits and orders of protection. Despite speculation on various sites that the "DV-Coercion" notation in the booking log indicated that he committed a new domestic violence offense, particularly against his mate Bound Wolf, the real reason why Multnomah County Sheriff's noted the DV-Coercion in his booking file was due to the charge that he was convicted of in 2002 in exchange for his plea of no contest. Whether this was intentional or an error on their part is unknown.
*'''14 February 2006''': Sibe's Greatest Journal was deleted, though not by Sibe since he was still in custody at the time. It was not suspended by Greatest Journal, which leads to speculation of possible evidence tampering.
*'''17 February 2006''': A hearing for violation of probation is convened at 9:30AM at Multnomah County Circuit Courthouse. Judge Douglas Beckman presiding. Sibe stipulates to evading the warrant for his arrest and continued to abscond, use of internet outside of Judge Beckman's authorization, and stipulation to the use of marijuana, as well as traffic violations. Judge Beckman, during the defense attorney's statements about Sibe's accomplishments of having a job for nearly a year, brought up the issue of police reports filed for sexual abuse and misconduct by four different persons, including the father of a 2 year old girl who accused Sibe of sexually abusing his daughter. The father of the 2 year old was deported and as a result the case was dropped due to the lack of witnesses (the daughter was removed from the country by ICE with her father). His computer is ordered seized and turned over to the Federal Bureau of Investigation for forensic examination. The hearing is held over until 7 March 2006 for hearing. Sibe offers up a Compaq laptop as his personal computer.
*'''7 March 2006''': Due to Sibe's misrepresenting to the court that his Compaq laptop was his only personal computer (the FBI forensics examiners determined that the computer was a "brick," "ancient", and had only been used three times since 2003 for dial up usage), along with the stipulations to his violations of probation, he receives a 6 month jail sentence for the probation violations, plus 3 years' parole. His 30 days held at the Multnomah County (Oregon) Justice Center thus far does not count as time served toward this sentence due primarily to his misrepresentation to the court.
*'''23 March 2006''': An email is sent from [http://www.vinelink.com VINElink] victim notification services that he was released from Oregon Department of Corrections. However, he is still in Multnomah County Jail until 3 September 2006 according to Multnomah County Jail Custody Records, and his other entries into VINElink indicate that he is still in the custody of Multnomah County Jail. A search through [http://www.inmatereleases.org/ Multnomah County Jail Inmate Early Releases Database] indicates that he has not been released, either.
*'''1 September 2006''': Sibe is released from jail and put under the supervision of the Oregon Department of Corrections for a period of 3 years. The slightly early release is due to the calculated release date not being on a government business day.
*'''12 May 2007''': Sibe announces that a warrant for his arrest has been issued, as he has avoided seeing his probation officer due to continued failures to pass a [[Wikipedia:urinalysis|urinalysis]] since the prior September.<ref>''[http://www.greatestjournal.com/users/evilsibe/112095.html Warrant for my arrest], Sibe (12 May 2007)</ref> He suggests that he is likely to do "a little time in county", and offers to post his address so people can write to him in jail. He is listed as an absconder from community supervision on VINElink.<ref name="VINElink">[http://www.vinelink.com/ VINElink offender detail] (search Oregon for Ross Reddick), accessed 19 August 2007</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.{cite}
*'''18 August 2007''': Sibe is taken into custody under the previous warrant, and enters the [http://www.norcor.co.wasco.or.us/ Northern Oregon Regional Correctional Facilities] (NORCOR).<ref name="VINElink" />
*'''22 August 2007''': VINElink reports that Sibe has been released from NORCOR, and is back in the custody of the Multnomah County Sheriff's Office.<ref name="VINElink" />
*'''?? August 2007''': Sibe is released again from jail into the general population. He resumes his duties as a Lulz.net moderator.

*'''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).
*'''May 2002''': A warrant is issued for the arrest of Sibe for failure to appear in court in Issaquah, Washington in regards to his reckless driving charge. This was not taken care of until September 2004.
*'''3 May 2002''': A hearing is held in regards to possible release. His attorney identifies Sibe as having significant psychiatric problems, including being diagnosed as having bipolar disorder by two different psychiatrists in his youth. Disciplinary problems include: Fighting, flooding his cell with water causing $1500 worth of damage, failing to follow directions of jail deputies. As a result of his disciplinary problems, he was put under lock-down. Judge Beckman orders the jail to allow a psychiatrist into the jail for his psychiatric care.
*'''5 December 2002''': Sibe is sentenced to 36 months of probation plus time served, and is ordered to obey all laws, restricted internet usage, and to not use drugs, among other provisions.
*'''7 November 2003''': Lonnie Wilson (aka lokithegreycoyote) Makes a false rape report to a police officer. After giving the statement to the officer, the officer concludes that it was "rough gay sex" and not forcible rape. Meanwhile Lonnie Wilson is recruiting other furries to bring a group rape suit against sibe, attemting to ruin his sexual credibility in the hypersexual world of the furry fandom.
*'''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 Ross Reddick 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.
*'''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.
*'''November 2004''': Sibe moves to Bellevue, Washington from Portland, Oregon and did not notify his probation judge.
*'''6 December 2004''': Sibe is sentenced to 1 year of probation by the King County District Court for his reckless driving case from 2001.
*'''28 December 2004''': After being unable to find Sibe's current address due to lack of notification of his move to Washington State in late November 2004, and failing to appear to a probation hearing due to a report of illegal activities by the [[Wikipedia:Federal Bureau of Investigation|FBI]], Judge Douglas Beckman of the Multnomah County Circuit Court issues a warrant for Sibe's arrest with no bail allowed. The warrant was not extraditable outside of Oregon.
*'''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.
*'''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.

*'''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''.
*'''September 2005''': Sibe moves back to Portland, Oregon from Bellevue, Washington. He does not notify his probation judge in Washington of his new address in Oregon. In this month his Oregon warrant was also updated to extraditable from Washington, Idaho, and Western Montana as part of a change in policy in regards dealing with felony offenses against persons in Oregon, due to the ability of criminals previous to this to run to Washington and evade capture.
*'''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]]]]
*'''5 February 2006''': Sibe was booked into Multnomah County (Oregon) Justice Center by officers of the [http://www.portlandonline.com/police/?&c=29708 Portland Police Bureau] for the warrant issued on 28 December 2004. As he now had a fixed address (Multnomah County Justice Center), he was process-served for various lawsuits and orders of protection. Despite speculation on various sites that the "DV-Coercion" notation in the booking log indicated that he committed a new domestic violence offense, particularly against his mate Bound Wolf, the real reason why Multnomah County Sheriff's noted the DV-Coercion in his booking file was due to the charge that he was convicted of in 2002 in exchange for his plea of no contest. Whether this was intentional or an error on their part is unknown.
*'''14 February 2006''': Sibe's Greatest Journal was deleted, though not by Sibe since he was still in custody at the time. It was not suspended by Greatest Journal, which leads to speculation of possible evidence tampering.
*'''17 February 2006''': A hearing for violation of probation is convened at 9:30AM at Multnomah County Circuit Courthouse. Judge Douglas Beckman presiding. Sibe stipulates to evading the warrant for his arrest and continued to abscond, use of internet outside of Judge Beckman's authorization, and stipulation to the use of marijuana, as well as traffic violations. Judge Beckman, during the defense attorney's statements about Sibe's accomplishments of having a job for nearly a year, brought up the issue of police reports filed for sexual abuse and misconduct by four different persons, including the father of a 2 year old girl who accused Sibe of sexually abusing his daughter. The father of the 2 year old was deported and as a result the case was dropped due to the lack of witnesses (the daughter was removed from the country by ICE with her father). His computer is ordered seized and turned over to the Federal Bureau of Investigation for forensic examination. The hearing is held over until 7 March 2006 for hearing. Sibe offers up a Compaq laptop as his personal computer.
*'''7 March 2006''': Due to Sibe's misrepresenting to the court that his Compaq laptop was his only personal computer (the FBI forensics examiners determined that the computer was a "brick," "ancient", and had only been used three times since 2003 for dial up usage), along with the stipulations to his violations of probation, he receives a 6 month jail sentence for the probation violations, plus 3 years' parole. His 30 days held at the Multnomah County (Oregon) Justice Center thus far does not count as time served toward this sentence due primarily to his misrepresentation to the court.
*'''23 March 2006''': An email is sent from [http://www.vinelink.com VINElink] victim notification services that he was released from Oregon Department of Corrections. However, he is still in Multnomah County Jail until 3 September 2006 according to Multnomah County Jail Custody Records, and his other entries into VINElink indicate that he is still in the custody of Multnomah County Jail. A search through [http://www.inmatereleases.org/ Multnomah County Jail Inmate Early Releases Database] indicates that he has not been released, either.
*'''1 September 2006''': Sibe is released from jail and put under the supervision of the Oregon Department of Corrections for a period of 3 years. The slightly early release is due to the calculated release date not being on a government business day.
*'''12 May 2007''': Sibe announces that a warrant for his arrest has been issued, as he has avoided seeing his probation officer due to continued failures to pass a [[Wikipedia:urinalysis|urinalysis]] since the prior September.<ref>''[http://www.greatestjournal.com/users/evilsibe/112095.html Warrant for my arrest], Sibe (12 May 2007)</ref> He suggests that he is likely to do "a little time in county", and offers to post his address so people can write to him in jail. He is listed as an absconder from community supervision on VINElink.<ref name="VINElink">[http://www.vinelink.com/ VINElink offender detail] (search Oregon for Ross Reddick), accessed 19 August 2007</ref>
*'''28 May 2007''': Sibe is permanently banned from the [[FurAffinity]]'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.{cite}
*'''18 August 2007''': Sibe is taken into custody under the previous warrant, and enters the [http://www.norcor.co.wasco.or.us/ Northern Oregon Regional Correctional Facilities] (NORCOR).<ref name="VINElink" />
*'''22 August 2007''': VINElink reports that Sibe has been released from NORCOR, and is back in the custody of the Multnomah County Sheriff's Office.<ref name="VINElink" />
*'''?? August 2007''': Sibe is released again from jail into the general population. He resumes his duties as a Lulz.net moderator.

[[Image:Sibe.png|right|thumb]

'''Sibe''', also known as '''EvilSibe''', or '''Sibe Roo''' on [[FurNation Worlds]] 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]], his chosen avatar is that of a [[Siberian Husky]], the [[dog]] breed from which he derived his name.
== Reputation ==

==== Trolling and wares ====

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 [[:Category:Artists|furry artists]] from 2001 through 2006, that has permanently cemented his current reputation with the fandom with this subsequent actions.

==== Bans ====

He also has the dubious unique honor of having been banned by at least two major and some minor [[convention]]s - [[Eurofurence]] and [[Further Confusion]] - since 2002. 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]] 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>

The comic ''[[West Corner Of the Park (comic)|West Corner of the Park]]'' has depicted Sibe as a giant slug,<ref>http://www.graphxpress.com/cgi-bin/wcotp.cgi?date=20060319</ref><ref>http://www.graphxpress.com/cgi-bin/wcotp.cgi?date=20011110</ref><ref>http://www.graphxpress.com/cgi-bin/wcotp.cgi?date=20020107</ref> although this includes an element of artistic license.

== Controversy timeline ==

[[Image:Sibe.jpg|right|thumb|Sibe: "Big snugly husky dog that luvs everyone. <3"]]
*'''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.
*'''6 March 2001''': After Sibe had already lost the right to possess firearms in the state of Washington, he is arrested for violating ORS (short for Oregon Revised Statute) 166.370, possession of a loaded firearm in a public building, specifically Herald College in Portland, OR. He possessed a shotgun on the grounds of an educational institution in his duffel bag, which is illegal unless you fall into one of the exceptions in the statute. He is given pre-trial intervention/diversion, where if he had not been arrested for any further crimes, his charge would have been dismissed.
[[Image:PafSibeBadge.jpg|right|thumb|Sibe, by [[Chris Goodwin]]]]
*'''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.
*'''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.
*'''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.

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).
*'''May 2002''': A warrant is issued for the arrest of Sibe for failure to appear in court in Issaquah, Washington in regards to his reckless driving charge. This was not taken care of until September 2004.

As a result of his disciplinary problems, he was put under lock-down. Judge Beckman orders the jail to allow a psychiatrist into the jail for his psychiatric care.
*'''5 December 2002''': Sibe is sentenced to 36 months of probation plus time served, and is ordered to obey all laws, restricted internet usage, and to not use drugs, among other provisions.
*'''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.

*'''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]]]]
*'''5 February 2006''': Sibe was booked into Multnomah County (Oregon) Justice Center by officers of the [http://www.portlandonline.com/police/?&c=29708 Portland Police Bureau] for the warrant issued on 28 December 2004. As he now had a fixed address (Multnomah County Justice Center), he was process-served for various lawsuits and orders of protection. Despite speculation on various sites that the "DV-Coercion" notation in the booking log indicated that he committed a new domestic violence offense, particularly against his mate Bound Wolf, the real reason why Multnomah County Sheriff's noted the DV-Coercion in his booking file was due to the charge that he was convicted of in 2002 in exchange for his plea of no contest. Whether this was intentional or an error on their part is unknown.
*'''14 February 2006''': Sibe's Greatest Journal was deleted, though not by Sibe since he was still in custody at the time. It was not suspended by Greatest Journal, which leads to speculation of possible evidence tampering.
*'''17 February 2006''': A hearing for violation of probation is convened at 9:30AM at Multnomah County Circuit Courthouse. Judge Douglas Beckman presiding. Sibe stipulates to evading the warrant for his arrest and continued to abscond, use of internet outside of Judge Beckman's authorization, and stipulation to the use of marijuana, as well as traffic violations. His computer is ordered seized and turned over to the Federal Bureau of Investigation for forensic examination. The hearing is held over until 7 March 2006 for hearing. Sibe offers up a Compaq laptop as his personal computer.
*'''7 March 2006''': Due to Sibe's misrepresenting to the court that his Compaq laptop was his only personal computer (the FBI forensics examiners determined that the computer was a "brick," "ancient", and had only been used three times since 2003 for dial up usage), along with the stipulations to his violations of probation, he receives a 6 month jail sentence for the probation violations, plus 3 years' parole. His 30 days held at the Multnomah County (Oregon) Justice Center thus far does not count as time served toward this sentence due primarily to his misrepresentation to the court.
*'''23 March 2006''': An email is sent from [http://www.vinelink.com VINElink] victim notification services that he was released from Oregon Department of Corrections.

Evil Sibe

Sibe: image updated

[[Image:Sibe.png|right|thumb]

'''Sibe''', also known as '''EvilSibe''', or '''Sibe Roo''' on [[FurNation Worlds]] 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]], his chosen avatar is that of a [[Siberian Husky]], the [[dog]] breed from which he derived his name.
[[Image:image:2003-01-10_19-12-22.JPG]]
== Reputation ==

==== Trolling and wares ====

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 [[:Category:Artists|furry artists]] from 2001 through 2006, that has permanently cemented his current reputation with the fandom with this subsequent actions.

==== Bans ====

He also has the dubious unique honor of having been banned by at least two major and some minor [[convention]]s - [[Eurofurence]] and [[Further Confusion]] - since 2002. 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]] 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>

The comic ''[[West Corner Of the Park (comic)|West Corner of the Park]]'' has depicted Sibe as a giant slug,<ref>http://www.graphxpress.com/cgi-bin/wcotp.cgi?date=20060319</ref><ref>http://www.graphxpress.com/cgi-bin/wcotp.cgi?date=20011110</ref><ref>http://www.graphxpress.com/cgi-bin/wcotp.cgi?date=20020107</ref> although this includes an element of artistic license.

== Controversy timeline ==

[[Image:Sibe.jpg|right|thumb|Sibe: "Big snugly husky dog that luvs everyone. <3"]]
*'''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.
*'''6 March 2001''': After Sibe had already lost the right to possess firearms in the state of Washington, he is arrested for violating ORS (short for Oregon Revised Statute) 166.370, possession of a loaded firearm in a public building, specifically Herald College in Portland, OR. He possessed a shotgun on the grounds of an educational institution in his duffel bag, which is illegal unless you fall into one of the exceptions in the statute. He is given pre-trial intervention/diversion, where if he had not been arrested for any further crimes, his charge would have been dismissed.
[[Image:PafSibeBadge.jpg|right|thumb|Sibe, by [[Chris Goodwin]]]]
*'''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.
*'''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.
*'''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).
*'''May 2002''': A warrant is issued for the arrest of Sibe for failure to appear in court in Issaquah, Washington in regards to his reckless driving charge. This was not taken care of until September 2004.
*'''3 May 2002''': A hearing is held in regards to possible release. His attorney identifies Sibe as having significant psychiatric problems, including being diagnosed as having bipolar disorder by two different psychiatrists in his youth. Disciplinary problems include: Fighting, flooding his cell with water causing $1500 worth of damage, failing to follow directions of jail deputies. As a result of his disciplinary problems, he was put under lock-down. Judge Beckman orders the jail to allow a psychiatrist into the jail for his psychiatric care.
*'''5 December 2002''': Sibe is sentenced to 36 months of probation plus time served, and is ordered to obey all laws, restricted internet usage, and to not use drugs, among other provisions.
*'''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 Ross Reddick 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.
*'''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.
*'''November 2004''': Sibe moves to Bellevue, Washington from Portland, Oregon and did not notify his probation judge.
*'''6 December 2004''': Sibe is sentenced to 1 year of probation by the King County District Court for his reckless driving case from 2001.
*'''28 December 2004''': After being unable to find Sibe's current address due to lack of notification of his move to Washington State in late November 2004, and failing to appear to a probation hearing due to a report of illegal activities by the [[Wikipedia:Federal Bureau of Investigation|FBI]], Judge Douglas Beckman of the Multnomah County Circuit Court issues a warrant for Sibe's arrest with no bail allowed. The warrant was not extraditable outside of Oregon.
*'''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.
*'''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>
*'''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''.
*'''September 2005''': Sibe moves back to Portland, Oregon from Bellevue, Washington. He does not notify his probation judge in Washington of his new address in Oregon. In this month his Oregon warrant was also updated to extraditable from Washington, Idaho, and Western Montana as part of a change in policy in regards dealing with felony offenses against persons in Oregon, due to the ability of criminals previous to this to run to Washington and evade capture.
*'''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]]]]
*'''5 February 2006''': Sibe was booked into Multnomah County (Oregon) Justice Center by officers of the [http://www.portlandonline.com/police/?&c=29708 Portland Police Bureau] for the warrant issued on 28 December 2004. As he now had a fixed address (Multnomah County Justice Center), he was process-served for various lawsuits and orders of protection.
