If you look at my history on this site, it's almost entirely in the vpnet section.  
I joined the site to post in the vpnet section as part of my job. I very rarely venture outside of that section, because I simply don't have time for any social media sites outside of work.  
  
"members of the Sojooo council.....your VPnet team."  
I was not aware that other vp.net team members were on the council. The only person I knew was on the council was Nathan, because he mentioned it to me. I have no idea what's going on with the council, like I said, I am not involved in anything on this site other than vp.net. That's what I'm here to talk about.  
  
Again, I will restate my position. I have no idea what you're talking about. None of this involves me. I am not an employee of Soj.ooO. I am not Nathan's keeper. What he does outside of work is his business, not mine.  
  
I have no control over what Nathan does outside of work.  
I have no control over anything on Soj.ooO.  
I don't know anything about this council, other than Nathan told me he was on it a while bac.  
I am not sure what you are expecting me to do.

Hey Chris,

To start, thank you for replying.

That is often overlooked in these exchanges….the will to communicate at all.  
And, not expecting anything....just hopeful we can come to some kind of conflict resolution...and perhaps you could help with this.  
I did look at your post history...as you say....vpnet....and only vpnet.

With that said, I wonder if you might be open to considering the following:

I don’t think it’s hard to understand that some of us would like Nathan’s behavior to be addressed. If he is a publicly acknowledged employee at vpnet, and you are here in both a professional and personal PR capacity, you could at least acknowledge the concerns being raised and pass them on to someone with the appropriate responsibility and authority.

That would sound like a far more competent approach than publicly distancing yourself and washing your hands of any responsibility - even if that’s understandable.

Not many of us on Sojooo understand how the interim board was formed, as it was mainly comprised of a small circle that meets outside the site. Still, there needs to be someone who can address members or users who repeatedly choose unprofessional, rule-breaking behavior over the betterment of the community as a whole.

Anyway, as others have pointed out on Sojooo, Nathan’s practice of creating alt accounts to bypass moderation and continue harassment reflects poorly on vpnet’s services - whether he used them or not. You might want to keep that in mind while you’re trying to build goodwill and promote vpnet here.  
  
Again, if you need any evidence or a second opinion, please connect with @Sonatime on this matter.  It may be good for all if you did, but not a necessity.   Something like that.

Looking for a way forward here. Hope you can see that, too.  
Again, thank you for communicating with such respect and civility.  
It is appreciated more than you can know.

Peace😇
