Ah, it's an ex getting revenge, right? Anyway, Larratt has an account here, so maybe he'll comment further. posted by krinklyfig at 11:53 AM on October 5, 2007
Were Rachel and Shannon actually estranged or just divorced? It's pretty touch to run a company together when you have a restraining order.
Shannon is indeed glider on MeFi, by the way. posted by mkb at 11:57 AM on October 5, 2007

My guess is he means he just got out of jail, where he ostensibly was held overnight. Not to suggest that this person, who I do not know and never heard of before, has an overdeveloped sense of the dramatic, but jai is not prison and vice-versa. One does not get held in "prison" on false charges overnight.
With large caveats for "enemy combatants" et al. who certainly may be held on "false charges" but in those cases, rarely for short periods of time. posted by beelzbubba at 12:02 PM on October 5, 2007

Why am I not surprised that a confederate apologist who thinks mutilation is hip and edgy would bleat about "false charges" and call a night in jail "prison". posted by 2sheets at 12:12 PM on October 5, 2007

There are a lot of rumours about Shannon's wife, as well as the BME sysadmin, taking over the site and locking Shannon out. Then there were some counter-rumours that Shannon assaulted his wife, and spent a night in prison, or some such.

phrawzty is a friend of mine. I'm sort of surprised he's following this closely, but he always was the curious type. posted by utsutsu at 12:27 PM on October 5, 2007
Most people don't know the difference between jail and prison. Maybe he has a flair for the dramatic, maybe he doesn't have a flair for the dictionary. posted by substrate at 12:31 PM on October 5, 2007

Reading the BME stuff is kind of like reading about Britney and her child custody battles -- the drama is compelling, but it is really sad that these intensely private matters somehow end up being played out on the public stage. Sure, it might be the fault of the people involved, and sometimes they want the attention, but it is still sad when so much dirty linen is exposed. posted by Forktine at 3:05 PM on October 5, 2007

Who is John? And how is he involved in this crazy story?
Apparently, according to the BMEzine staff page, his name is Jonathon and he's an 'old friend' of Rachel's. They have matching tattoos. posted by PeterMcDermott at 4:13 PM on October 5, 2007
