Hi Aion,
what I meant was their archive of (deleted) websites and digitised books, I wasn't even aware that they did original articles (do they?) - and of course there's a lot of bollocks on there, no question about that. One has to use their discrimination to make best use of those pages.
Well, you know, it doesn't really matter to me who the originals are and what would a more appropriate name for those who you think of as imposters (who still might have some of the lineage(s)?) - I'm trying to put a name on an international (and cross-density) network of people who treat other-selves as negatively as is possible (literal sense), that others might recognize if they come across it. What matters to me is how other-selves are being treated by those I am talking about (tortured - again in the literal sense of the term), and to help as much as is possible for me. Really sorry if I'm stepping one someone's toes in the process (given they are STO oriented). Btw: Those I'm talking about don't go by the name of Dragons, it's just the symbolism/terminology by which they/some of them acknowledge each other.
How would you suggest to distinguish the real Dragons from possible imposters?
Yes, I'm aware of that - it was just to make clear which Dragons I'm talking about, as you're aware the term might be attributed to other (groups of) entities as well.
That's certainly true, I have come across a number of people who consider (or have previously considered) themselves Dragons but most likely - or definitely - aren't. Still my impression is that at least some of those I'm talking about are real Dragons. Might be wrong though, of course.

You are right, I am talking about something different but what you are talking about is the identity theft of the Dragons that I believe occurred.
