There have been two distinct spikes in the traffic to danielbutterfield.com since July. The graph above displays daily visitors going back twelve months. Those two spikes are on Saturday, August 5 and Thursday, September 28, 2023.
(Given that there’s no evidence being presented here that isn’t circumstantial, this post and the others like this are exercises in hypothesizing for entertainment purposes only, whether or not the accounts presented correspond to real, not-fictional events.)
Spike #1: August 5
Here’s the traffic to danielbutterfield.com on August 5, 2023, with users broken down by location, by city.
This traffic came about because of the blog post I wrote on August 5, 2023, “People at No Frills” (https://danielbutterfield.com/2023/08/05/people-at-no-frills/).
What you can determine from this is a geographic breakdown of the selection of Satan’s Choice members who were notified of this particular violation–me publicly identifying one of their members.
That post was seen by people in 79 municipalities.
- 2 in Alberta

- 30 in Quebec
- 4 in the United States (Key West, FL; Jupiter, FL; Peterborough, NH; Forest City, NC)
