Rising from the Ashes?

I've been putting off writing here because I had little to say that would add to the conversation. I put much faith in Steorn's commitment to the jury process. That and my belief that Sean and co are far from the idiots some make them out to be, kept me from walking away and giving in to the sceptic I'd become. Unlike many others making this journey, once I am certain that there is nothing to see, I will not stay for the entertainment value.
The jury result was another debacle; a disaster on the scale of the London un-demo. I felt let down and disappointed at my own gullibility. And yet, the niggling sense that the game was not over continued to bite. Was this just that gullibility gene making itself known?
When I started this journey, I thought I might contribute through my writing as I had little else to offer in the way of expertise or resources. My physics degree is sepia and I live an itinerant lifestyle. But, I concluded, I could write and I could serve a small part of this story. I could provide a window into the world of the SKDB for those on the outside and perhaps counter some of the unfounded negativity directed at Steorn.
The reality was that after my stance shifted to hopeful sceptic, I could no longer explore the brave new world I thought would be ours and the NDA limited the scope for reporting on anything else that I considered worthwhile.
Well, I am here still. My work and lifestyle demands that I ration my time ruthlessly. Being here now, is a message in itself. A sceptic, yes, and still cautious, but I can tell you with complete sincerity that it is not over. Steorn may yet surprise us all. Maybe.
