I missed the stuff about the traders Perryman. Did they complain if anyone said anything negative about local businesses or something?

There's definitely one trader that is working closely with Foxy. You can go into her shop to have your details verified before you're allowed to be a member and see non-public threads.

Given what he's been fine with saying in public under his own name, I shudder to think what Foxy says that he feels the need to shield from the public view.
