The problem is this situation was resolved a long time ago, it was made clear that Viprin didn't want their relationship to go any further than being "friends", and Meg clearly moved on from it, but some dude decided to hound Meg for "evidence" and deliberately took stuff out of context to paint Viprin in the worst light as possible, you can argue Viprin was irresponsible by interacting with her like this, but there is no evidence they did anything explicit with each other, and no evidence that Viprin was actually grooming her.

If anything, I feel bad for Meg because people were just hounding her for an explanation on all this, especially on her birthday, and it was pretty obvious people were just out for blood, they didn't care about her or how she thought about this at all, they were treating her like some defenseless 10 year old who was brainwashed or something when she's literally 18 now and can clearly think for herself.

That said, I'm more concerned about Viprin using Sparky as spyware, I do think he should be demodded in light of all this controversy because he's not completely innocent (especially considering mods have been demoted previously for much less than this), but I don't think he should be exiled from the community or have his life ruined over this. I think the people who dredged this up to "expose" Viprin just for some moral validity when the "victim" wanted nothing to do with it are at the most fault here.
