A few of the people on the banned list puzzled me. This is a part of the story on how Mary Ann of Soldiers' Angels - Germany got banned, along with the Greyhawks of Mudville Gazette:
"Like MaryAnn I appreciated that he had publicly acknowledged on Facebook that he knew the story wasn't true, but all I wanted was what MaryAnn wanted - the truth actually appended to the story. "I don't want a "Greyhawk vs Yon" story. Or a "Yon vs Soldiers Angels" story for that matter," I wrote MaryAnn. "A "Yon vs anybody" story is not helpful, but a "You can't trust what you read at Mike Yon's" story might be called for if he refuses to correct it."
"I advised her why halting her efforts was a bad idea - and it wasn't about Mike Yon"
Greyhawk tells the story, and it is a long story, but an important story. I had wondered how a Soldiers' Angel of Mary Ann's stature had attained the banned list, along with the Greyhawks, and now I know: it was all because Mary Ann didn't want glory she had not attained. It's a story of donations, of false glory, of heroism - unearned. It's not a new story.
