More About The Cleaner


Hey Guys!

Although I'm choosing to remain anonymous, I still want my readers to get to know me and understand why I've started this revolution.

I'm a 20-something woman that has made a few mistakes in my life but have chosen to rise above it, get an education and fight for what I believe in.

Quite a few years ago, I would have been the type of young woman to be posted on The Dirty and narrowly escaped it by about an inch. I've got friends  and ex-boyfriends that have been posted and the fact that The Dirty has gotten so close to my life has terrified me to bits.

I'm afraid though, that The Dirty may have terrified the wrong person. As I stated earlier, I've cleaned up my act and gotten an education. I also happen to share a bed with one of the most intelligent Human Rights specialists in our country. I've also drafted a few friends from the Media, a few lawyers and a salty mother-of-three to the Clean Team. And as it happens,  we all seem to have some extra time on our hands.

You may have noticed that I've taken a somewhat wholesome approach when addressing the issue. Let me make it clear now: We do not intend to fight fire with fire, which seems counterproductive. No, we're doing the opposite. We intend to fight fire with water.

Here are a few things that we are making priorities:

  1. Getting the attention of the Government and the Citizens and request that at the very least, a few tweaks and changes be made. 
  2. Providing an umbrella of support and a safe haven for the people that have been posted. 
  3. Providing education and wholesome information to the Dirty Army so that they can fully appreciate what they have involved themselves in. 
  4. Exposing the truth about the effects that The Dirty has on our society. 
It's going to be incredibly difficult but in just three days, we've already made noticeable headway. 

Obviously our #1 goal is to have the website shut down permanently and make sure that nothing like it can be created again. But, we also do not want our opinions to be misinterpreted. Please do not assume that we do not believe in Freedom of Speech. There is nothing that we believe in more. But when Voltaire said "I do not agree with what you say, but will defend to the death your Right to say it!", we're not entirely sure that he had a 16 year old with an ill-advised spray-tan in mind. 

Many of the posts on The Dirty are blatant Cyber-Harassment cases. What Nik Richie is doing is making it possible for these people to harass their peers anonymously. This is not an example Freedom of Speech. 

I started this Blog in an attempt to have a positive impact on our society and I plan to see it through along with the rest of The Clean Team. If at any time, you believe that we are doing any harm, please inform us of your concerns and we will take them into consideration. 

Until Next Time...
