Annette Curran - folding under the inevitable.

I heard from a correspondent that Annette Curran is at this time reducing the content of her secret site. An interesting point about her actions is that she took up the site (changing the name in the process) when a former site host michellemosse fled the scene just after the not guilty verdicts were returned in the Bain case. I remember michellemosse  posting to me in the aftermath of the trial on TM that she wished she wasn't in the position of being in the debris of the failed prosecution. At least michellemosse had the good sense to opt out, perhaps she may have already realised that the 'nutters' on the team would go on, acting illegally, misusing cyber space and stalking, as Annette Curran would do. Good decision it turns out to be.

Despite there being a number of individuals such as Curran still starkly preserved on an emptying landscape, common sense prevailed and many of the former hate-siters just simply moved on or indeed fled, leaving those that continued to agitate and stalk to deflect interest from them. Another issue was particularly dealt with by those that fled: being that time changes perspectives and lessens interests in those that had the good sense to withdraw. For those remaining like Curran and Parker their problems became more obvious because as their number reduced those left were more able to be concentrated on and analysed in terms of what their full roles had been. Where Curran had once been in the background, orchestrating cyber attacks, stalking and bullying ,while keeping her hands clean, the foreground of defence and shelter was suddenly gone. Something that it appears could have occurred to michellemosse before she hit the road.

Of course the background noise remained, nobody would 'dare' take them on because they'd turn it into a 'third' trial, they were right thinking nzers and their various defeats were the result of not their own misadventure, or purpose, but because of others accidentally being listened to, or having undue influence, or because they were absolutely dumb and couldn't see the truth. Not seeing the truth seems to be a long term affliction of Curran. The truth is that she is a stalker, the truth always was that message boarders and the host were responsible for the publication. So that which Curran has published she is responsible for, the largest NZ board has admitted such liability even in the case of its users breaking board rules publishing private information, defamation and lies. So when NZ's bigges,t and most financial board owner, makes that concession and apologies, all Annie has left is freshly soiled jocks.

Long and large on Curran's site was the idea that it had been infiltrated when no doubt it had, but the biggest infiltration was by google who Annie invited into the site to cache material and put it elsewhere on the internet. I got a copy. Now that the penny might have dropped a little bit for Annie Curran she's sifting the contents of her site to remove material that has already come into the public www. Belatedly she's trying to protect herself from a flood that happened some two years ago, where people plotted false complaints and harassment campaigns gloating over the potential outcomes. If Curran needed any further first hand evidence more than michellemosses' adbrupt departure in 2009, the legal action against some of her 'members' should have hit the mark with anybody with half a brain and instinct for survival. But both of those two situations are dwarfed by Karam's comments recently that there is 'more dust to settle' and since then we have seen the disclosures by Trade Me that spell out the position clearer than a 180 page High Court Judgement could ever do. Yet still she persists fiddling. One of her 'friends' might simply warn her to shut down her site rather than turning her powerful intellect into a futile 'editing' exercise, shut down and leave an apology - then hope, realising at least that the shut down and apology, however belated, becomes a mitigating factor in her favour.
