Are you sure it has nothing to do with SH? Strange timing as its occurs right when SH is back on twitter. Also note that some of the previous associated conflict had occurred on twitter itself, including murder threats and transphobic hate speech directed against SH (not by EAG but by others in the grollbuggs network).

White folks: so, you don’t know how to talk about race – but you want to. You feel paralyzed by fear or ignorance, and might decide to defer to someone who is “well-versed” on the subject matter. But, you feel guilty, and you want people of color to whom you are an ally to know that you aren’t racist (just scared).
Whatever the reason for your silence, you’ve made a conscious decision to remain silent about race, perhaps even in the face of racist injustice. White privilege allows you to feel like an individual who made a difficult decision. But, in reality, most white people choose silence. And, those individual decisions to remain silent add up to collective white silence, to white complicity in racist oppression, or even white consent to racist violence.
And, that’s exactly how white silence feels. As a person of color, I cannot discern between your fear-stricken silence and the silence of white people who don’t think that racism exists, who think that race only emerges as a topic or factor when people of color bring it up (i.e., “playing the race card), or who simply do not value the lives of people of color. The impact of your silence is literally the same as that of Klansmen, Nazis, most white Republicans, and other garden-variety racists.

^ Yep. He probably libeled the wrong person who got lawyered up and went after him. While this is done casually on SJMR behind the mask of anonymity, when you put your name to it over and over again, it is a whole 'nother ballgame.
Wait he got sued for doing the same thing Silvia does here?
f**k you Silvia. Do this on Twitter, you spineless coward. -
^^ before he finally went dark, he deleted a bunch of potentially libelous statements and removed names from other screeds. i don't know if he was actually sued, but it was pretty obvious he was responding to pressure of some sort. the fact that he never explained what he was doing, when he showed no hesitation to talk about any imagined slight, strongly suggests some kind of legal pressure.
