Permanently barring Robin van Dien aka JeffKilos
Posted: Thu Jun 24, 2021 5:41 pm
I want to post here what I'm doing so everyone understood.
A "new" forum participant a week ago named Robin van Dien. JSAD and I discussed almost at once that he was former JeffKilos who had been thrown off the board and permanently barred. He came back under another name, begged forgiveness, and asked that we also unblock his home IP address. (It took my performing surgery on the data base to do this.)
"Robin," born April 29, 2000, at 2:27 AM PDT, Santa Clara, CA and living in recent years in Cory, NC (as he posted the data openly on the site) has demanded an enormous amount of attention in the last week. I've put close to two workdays of time into answering his sometimes nagging questions, and for one main reason: Every question answered on this site is available for other people (often many hundreds of people) to read and learn from. I don't do this to provide free astrology services - I do this to create a live teaching environment wherein every minute I spend responding is potentially in the service of many hundreds of people and of Sidereal astrology in general that we never know but who come by to read.
"Robin" posted earlier that he was posting his last question - one about his brother's health. I didn't have time to answer this before leaving work, but made a mental note to look at it when I got home. I now see that in the last hour "Robin" has deleted the content of all of his posts (but not the posts themselves which exist as 82 empty husks interwoven with probably a dozen hours of answers).
In doing this, I consider he stole from all of you. He stole from me AND you because I could have spent that time analyzing behavior patterns in the last few angular planets or Moon signs I have to finalize and write about before I can move into the larger project of my large, final book on Sidereal astrology. He stole from you because the record of him and his chart - freely offered and posted by him here - is gone, rather than serving as permanent astrological instruction.
I will now delete his account, delete all of his posts that I can, and then go back and spend more time surgically cleaning up the site which he has left in a mess. It's heartbreaking and angering. I am blocking all of his ways into the site that I can find and, if he appears again and I learn it is he, I will remove him again and give him no more chances.
I will, however, keep his birth data and city where he lives posted above since he posted them freely and openly on this site. At least these may serve as astrological instruction to those who take time to examine the data.
I'm tempted to say no more Aries Suns are allowed on this site - so many of them have brought such conflict and destruction. Besides Robin van Dien / JeffKilos, we've had to deal with the destructive rage, arguments, and general trouble of Contrarian, coolcoolwcr, Uncle Aries, and more. I won't do this, of course, because there has been the occasional exception - but perhaps you will see why I would even consider it.
OK, enough explain. I'm off to clean up the mess.
