<p>
	I received two emails from <a href="https://marlcabinet.deviantart.com/">Marl</a> letting me know I have been banned from the $a[IRC] network that Floraverse uses, one to the address I used to register my NickServ account on that network and one to the email address listed on the contact page of my website.
	It appears that <a href="http://wowana.me/">wowaname</a> was stiring up trouble with the network administrator, <a href="http://eev.ee/">Eevee</a>.
	As a combined result of this trolling and the ban evasion that accompanied it, all of $a[Tor], including me, has been banned.
	Marl said that I wasn&apos;t the target, I was just caught in the crossfire, but it&apos;s still pretty frustrating.
	The worst part is that wowaname only found that $a[IRC] network because I mentioned it on my website.
	In effect, I got myself banned.
</p>
<p>
	Wowaname continues her battle with eNom, now having to prove that my address is her address.
	It appears that eNom didn&apos;t listen about this address being that of someone authorized to accept mail on her behalf, not her physical address.
	By $a[ICANN] rules, anywhere that she can accept mail at or will accept mail on her behalf is valid.
	She forwarded the letter from eNom to me, and I replied to eNom explaining again that I am accepting mail on wowaname&apos;s (or &quot;Opal Hart&quot;, as she is known to eNom) behalf.
	I&apos;m still upset that wowaname played a part in getting me banned, but there are bigger fish to fry.
	$a[ICANN]&apos;s over-controlling requirements need to be followed to the letter and no further.
	They already ask too much.
	Besides, I still owe wowaname, and will continue to owe wowaname for some time, so perhaps this will lessen my debt a bit while also serving to help keep me on good terms with her.
	I currently depend on her, so if that could switch to mutual dependence, I could lessen my paranoia about my precarious situation.
</p>
<p>
	My <a href="/a/canary.txt">canary</a> still sings the tune of freedom and transparency.
