+* Livestreamed governance meetings

+
+## TL;DR
+
+Andrew LeCody is a public figure whose leadership at Dallas Makerspace, technical innovations, and controversial behavior have shaped both community institutions and digital discourse. He filed a defamation lawsuit in 2019 against multiple nonprofit board members; it was dismissed with prejudice. Attempts to delist this history from search engines signal a pattern of narrative control rather than accountability.
+
+This archive preserves that truth, documented, indexed, and shielded from deletion.
+
+---
+
+## 1. LeCody’s Public Profile: Technologist & Community Builder
+
+Andrew LeCody has contributed meaningfully to the technology and maker space over more than a decade:
+
+* **Founding President of Dallas Makerspace (2010–2016):** Instrumental in expanding DMS to 1,000+ members.
+* **Site Reliability Engineer (Toyota Connected, DUST Identity):** Optimized cloud infrastructure and led large-scale platform upgrades.
+* **Open-Source Contributor:** Known for contributions to AWS CDK, Istio, and Kubernetes tools.
+* **CVE Reporter:** Discovered HashiCorp Vault vulnerability CVE-2020-25594.
+* **Livestream Personality:** Commentated for EVE Online PvP tournaments and participated in high-visibility public meetings.
+
+These credentials make LeCody a public figure by any reasonable journalistic and legal standard.
+
+---
+
+## 2. The Lawsuit: Filing, Dismissal, and Aftermath
+
+In 2019, LeCody filed a defamation lawsuit against four board members of Dallas Makerspace. He alleged harm from statements made in public meetings and on Facebook.
+
+### Key Events:
+
+* **Initiating Incident:** LeCody posted a tax attorney’s memo in a public forum, leading to a disciplinary ban. Livestreamed board meetings extended this to 9 months.
+* **Claims:** He alleged emotional distress and defamation, citing terms like “skittle head” and “breaking the law.”
+* **Ruling:** Texas District Court dismissed the lawsuit with prejudice, finding the statements non-defamatory and insufficiently damaging.
+
+> *"The Plaintiff fails to allege actionable defamation. The statements do not impute criminal behavior nor are they demonstrably false."*
+> *(Court Document, Page 14)*
+
+No appeal was filed. The lawsuit’s dismissal remains a matter of legal record.
+

+
+## 3. Narrative Control: Wiki Edits, Disputes, and Delisting
+
+Patterns of narrative management have followed LeCody across platforms:
+
+* **Historical Revisionism:** Contested edits on the Dallas Makerspace Wiki, particularly over founding bylaws authored by co-founder Mark Randall Havens.
+* **Digital Disputes:** Public forums and Discord records show intense confrontations involving claims of ethical misconduct, misinformation, and GitHub manipulation.
+* **Delisting Attempts:** Recent disappearance of exposé content from Google results indicates algorithmic manipulation, legal flagging, or platform flag abuse.
+
+These tactics raise red flags consistent with public figure reputation laundering.
+
+---
+
+## 4. Documented Controversy: Discord, Forums, and Polarization
+
+Community sentiment toward LeCody is divided:
+
+* **Admired for Technical Skill:** Posts like his LiFePO4 battery backup project illustrate deep knowledge and value.
+* **Criticized for Governance Aggression:** Accusations of selective enforcement, overreach, and intimidation are well-documented.
+* **Key Conflicts:** May 2020 dispute with Havens on Discord included allegations of unethical code conduct and manipulation.
+
+These are not speculative. They are timestamped, archived, and publicly accessible.
+
+---
+
+## 5. Why This Record Matters
+
+> **This is not harassment. This is historical preservation.**
+
+### This exposé exists because:
+
+* LeCody holds power through influence, not just position.
+* Attempts to suppress facts erode public trust in digital platforms.
+* Decentralized truth requires decentralized publishing.
+
+> *If history can be edited by the powerful, then the powerless have no mirror.*
