Yes they said they are. I think AE is lonely and it seems she confides in them but they live thousands of miles away.
Also AE's new twitter bio "Love all. Trust a few. Do wrong to none. (That is, unless somebody really fucks you over in which retaliate fiercely in whichever way takes your fancy

I think the 2 middle aged "girls" on the doorstep where in a Hornblower fan group not LOFT. The wiki vandalism was a brief thing. AE was quick to revert changes. Never heard of people making suggestions on wedding invitations - wft? They ended up disinviting people anyway. (Classy!)
You are right though - IG did lose a lot of fans over AE's tantrum over nothing which cost us and him the website. People lost respect for him. And now it's happening again although it's not his fault this time. The FB admin is complaining that he refused to engage in "tweet events" that they wanted him to do. So what? He doesn't like SM.
