of course she was banned, but I managed to get an excerpt of her post ratting out on another of our beloved scanner catchan scans to tokyopop. here it is:

how do i report someone scanning TP manga?
hi, i'm a huge manga fan, obviously lol, and i love the quality of TP's manga. i got interested in manga via IRC and am an IRC-holic too. recently, i noticed someone who's scanning actual TP manga, covers and all, and distributing them via IRC. they've scanned over 20 vols of manga, mostly TP and Viz. it makes me so &^$%^#^% mad! i don't know who to e-mail about it, so i figured i'd post what i know in here in hopes that the correct people will get the info and hopefully stop this person. this person doesn't have a webbie. all i have is an e-mail addy. cat_chan429@yahoo.com hopefully something can be done. (i feel like such a tattle tale)

I'm really appalled at her behaviour.... to my knowledge she has now ratted on 2 separate occasion both with different groups, who knows who else she ratted on
by this message, it's clear that she also reads scanlation,whether its licensed or not, I think most scanlators or scanner do work hard on this... so by telling on scanners like that is like stabbing them in the back. of course they're illegal scanning the original book, but not all people can afford to buy 18volumes of manga that each costs $US10...
if she does not approve of it, then so be it. do not read it. plain and simple isnt it?
again I am shocked that such spiteful people can maliciously do such a thing to a group that has by no means offended her personally...
or maybe I'm just too naive..
what do you guys think?
