1.) What is ED? 2.) Just by reading this post, you have proven to me that she needs some sort of help. 3.) My friend went through this. I think almost everyone, when getting good, goes through this. I only heard of one thief and all of her fans, including myself, took care of the thief within a few days. She stole some of her drawings that she forgot to sign and they were traditional art pieces that, what it looked like, were very easy for her.

1. An illegal website that slanders people and supports hacking, harassment, bullying, art-theft and everything that's negative. It's runned by psychopaths. 2. She indeed does. No healthy person would do such a thing anyway. 3. Art thieves are just so annoying. I'm sorry to hear about what happned to your friend.
I get the impression you've never actually paid any attention to anything on ED unless it related to you.
This reminds me of that time that girl sent her nudes to someone, got trolled and then told all of her followers about alien conspiracies and the Illuminati brainwashing her into sending her nudes.

Well I've seen plenty of ED articles of other people that contained what I just recalled. I'm not saying all articles are like that, but a lot of them are. There is no excuse for the article they made about that 13 year old kid who died for example. That's just psychotic and sadistic.
No. If anything, it's sociopathic and a bit of human nature.
I don't approve of it myself, but the whole point of ED is to DOCUMENT internet drama. Not sugarcoat it. Not start up a crappy charity that can't even keep it's promises (Starlight Foundation). It doesn't need to be unbiased. If you take a look at more of the website you'll notice they make fun of everything, especially themselves. An underlying value in ED is the complete rejection of censorship (except loli).
The best thing you can do about having a page on their about yourself is laugh at it and then pay no more attention to it. That's what most other people do if they have a page written about them. Remember, ED is about internet DRAMA.
Also, before you say any more about them being cruel, sadistic, etc, it may be worth your while to do an internet search for dehumanisation and how it works.

Wikipedia documents subjects and people. But ED just tries to defame people, since most of the information there is completely made up, twisted and many caps are even edited. If anything, ED is a cyber abuse site, since it also contained hacked stuff from peoples' private computers, edited photos and stolen artwork. ED doesn't make fun of themselves, otherwise they wouldn't create a complete drama over people who make fun of ED or call ED out on their BS. No offense, but I don't think you've seen much of their doing yet, because the place is full of criminals.
You're disregarding everything I just wrote. I wonder how much the conversation would change if I mentioned I frequent the site? Hmm.
ED is not about defamation. It's about internet drama and it records internet drama. You'll notice the articles labelled "bad articles" will-- Ugh, I think it'd be best for you to just read it.
Most of the information on ED is pulling the piss out of everything. It's only stupid people that would believe everything on it. Much of it could be classified as satire. ED does make fun of themselves, not just other people. If you took a look at the forum, you'd notice that the people are not telling each other how cool they are.
Many caps are nothing but caps. Some are very obviously manipulated for shits and giggles. As for hacked content, that wouldn't happen if people gave ED their passwords, used the same password for everything and just made complete arses of themselves. Again. ED is about internet drama, not internet silly children. Also, "stolen artwork". I seriously laughed just then. 99.999999999999999999% of the time, if "art"/terribly-drawn-pictures-not-just-pertaining-to-furry-porn is placed on a page, you can easily find the source. People know ED didn't shit out the images onto a piece of paper, and ED doesn't take credit for it. It is not stolen just because you don't like negative criticism.
ED DOES make fun of themselves (I really think you need to read more) and they don't create drama, the drama was already there and they simply feed the fire. Ever heard of the saying, "Don't feed the trolls"? This is completely applicable to every single DA account holder that has an article about themselves. If you don't feed the fire, you won't end up getting burned.
ED isn't full of criminals. There are a few because the nature of the site (freedom of speech/anti-censorship) does tend to attract such people, it's just what happens. It's like soup kitchens attracting middle class people who are just keen for a free meal.
I've known about ED for several years, lass. I'm part of the generation that isn't completely oblivious to the internet.

Sorry, but I have to disagree with pretty much everything you wrote because of the experiences I have with ED. And then I'm not just talking about a page about me, but especially about the rest of the pages I've been linked to. I'll save you an endless rant by not going into detail, but I still have the same opinion about the cyber abuse site.

Anyway, toodle-doo, and I hope you don't give them more ammo.
