All you have there is a list of usernames - the real names and emails that were supposedly there are removed, if they ever were present at all. If it was from some online petition, then it could have been obtained from whoever did the petition to start with. There's no information about where this list was posted, how it was obtained and from whom, and what the purpose of it was to begin with.
False or misrepresented info has been posted up there before. If you're in the business of drama, it's not exactly a leap of imagination to think someone like that might occasionally make up some stuff to keep people interested - and if you lie once, everything else has doubt cast on it.
A bit of critical thinking about the logic of putting together such a list - when real names and emails are really of -very- limited usefulness (what are they gonna do, sign you up for midget porn? find you on Facebook and spam you?) - really would go a long way. I'm not saying "this is totally a fake, no question" but "what proof do we have that it's real"?
In any case, I would like to keep the drama off MTS - let's all just have fun playing with our pixel dollies, and not run around waving our arms about CONSPIRACEE okay?
