Ethics

Let's think about the ethics of this for a moment:

- People who do not know they are being followed and observed, or only suspect they are, being followed and observed.

- People agreeing (for whatever reasons) to go along with people doing this to those they care about--I'm assuming due to manipulation.

- The number of lies that have to be told to pull this off.

- People placed in a situation where they are pretending to be someone who they are not.

- A person being left with people on all sides of them telling them to take different paths or give them hints to go in different directions.

- People who are being mixed up, so you don't know which clues are from you and pertain to other people out there who might be being hurt.

- People who are pretending to be the original people, so you don't even know how to contact the original people and warn them about what is going on.

- People who think they are with other people than they are, because it would be absolutely crazy to think this person is someone else, right? Someone taking advantage of that situation for their own gain. This breaks my heart.

- An entire situation where if you try to talk about any of this, people think you are joking or crazy.

- At this point, you crossed the line--I don't care about your game. I care about these people you are hurting. I care about these lies. Someone has to really know the story of what is going on and be man (or woman) up enough to realize that winning a game has never been as important to me as the people in my life being safe and sound--I can only assume that I share this view with others who might be in my situation.

- I don't care about winning. I just care that this ends, because you are hurting people. Let me write an ending for you: you stop what has happened. You bring us back the original people in our lives that you replaced without sending us on wild goose chases. You confess. You let the "good guys" win (i.e. the people who were helpless bystanders and victims) and stop messing with people's minds. My family and my friends and the other people out there who were caught in your web and manipulations don't deserve this--even if some of them have done bad things in their lives, they still don't deserve to be messed with in this way. So say you're sorry and stop it.
