• Briefly after Chris started coming out with his story about Frank’s extended campaign of cyberlynching, harassment and offline stalking of Chris by Frank, Frank began creating and dissemenating new smears about Chris in 2021 during the Freenode ownership transition in order to discredit the staff, and to pre-empt fallout from Chris' story being made public.
