not sure when this happened. many are calling for legal action, uh-oh.
From eD homepage:
"My mother used to teach me to always tell the truth, to never lie, to be honest and uphold all integrity despite the situation. It reminds me of a book I read in school where a family hid a group of people underneath the floor and when they were interrogated, they didn't feel that lying was the right thing to do. So they told the truth, no matter what was going to happen. Turns out, everybody came out okay. Can anybody help me with naming that book?
I feel that I have been as open and honest as I can be in the last 4 weeks. Elemental Designs started to collapse, and I thought I could hold it up. It turns out, I can't. My bold assumptions allowed me to investigate on my own to find the dead ends that were left for me and locked opportunities. Some systems were open to my discretion, most, however, were closed. Soon, the open systems that I did have access to became closed as well. What I thought was a situation I could help mend turned into doors slamming in my face, one by one.
The official announcement of closing on August 31st was immediately followed by a glimpse of shimmering light with a negotiated extension to hopefully assist others. That shimmering light has now vanquished and I am left with nothing in the wake of ruins. Almost systematically, logistics failed left and right as I was left wondering how to make things right, literally with a few dollars in my own pocket.
Under the name of Elemental Designs, I cannot right the wrongs. The rabbit hole has been dug too deep and too wide, and there's nothing left I can do but shut the entire operation down. I tried, I failed.
There's a lot of questions that are going to be asked that I don't know the answers. I would love to say that I know everything, that I know all of the answers, but I don't. The only thing that I DO know is that the next six months are going to be interesting. For better or for worse, I cannot say. But interesting, that much I can say.
I'm opening a new gmail account to accept emails. I'm not entirely sure how long the @elementaldesigns.com account is going to be active, but at least this way I can still be in contact with people who deserve answers. The new email address is:
