Anybody who has read my red tags can see that I exercise a high standard of care in accusing and judging people. I dont shoot from the hip. I am also extraordinarily conservative in choosing whom I trustyou will note that I did not leave Alia positive trust feedback (only neutral), although she
did carry through in exemplary fashion when I risked 0.01 BTC with her. Thats nothing against herI just dont yet know her well enough give her a green mark.
In the face of an
extremely serious accusation by a
credible person (ibminer), I shall neither jerk my knee to automatically defend someone I barely know, nor throw her under the bus.
I will seek the evidence, and address the matter fairly. Ive written before here about
standards of evidence. I intend to apply those here. You will note, I am not saying anything I havent said before.
Whereupon:
- I am seeking further information linking the Reddit account revcback to #1764044 alia on this forum. In particular, any evidence indicating that the individual controlling the Reddit recvback account is or was the same individual as is currently controlling the alia account on this forum. I am also seeking evidence contradicting the link; and as I just noted, this seems quite contradictory:
- I have interacted with Alia only through the forums PM system. In particular, I have neither seen her on camera, nor heard her voice. (I dont do Skype; she has not yet taken up my suggestion to try Tox.) The only image I have seen of her is something she posted to imgur, and linked in one of her early threads. Thus, I dont have any direct visual information by which I could try to gauge her age for myself.
- In private communication, Alia told me information which would be fully consistent with what she has said publicly about identity. Her private statements to me were credible on their face, although I have nothing to corroborate them. I am fairly adept at catching inconsistencies; however, this is not conclusive in and of itself.
- A response is needed from Alia. As somebody who has a bit of experience levelling serious accusations against someone in real life, I have learned to always see what someone facing a serious accusation has to say for himself (or herself, as the case may be). The guilty tend to bury themselves with their own words. The innocent deserve a chance at a fair hearing. Alia is here accused of outright criminal activity; and I intend to see what she has to say for herself before I make up my mind about this. Most of all, I will not try her with a lynch-mob mentality.
Of course, if shes guilty, then I will personally boil her in oil on this forum. But the evidence thus far is not only inconclusive, but contradictory; and if she is innocent, then I will be someone who was fair to her. - As a totally separate matter, the troll libels against aTriz would be comically absurd if they werent so outrageous. Either Alia did nothing wrong, or Alia did something wrong without aTrizs knowledge or involvement. Nobody has presented any evidence raising even a scintilla of suspicion that matters could be otherwise.
In closing, I will note: The reason you may rely on the red-tags Ive been issuing is that I am careful
everywhere. Naturally, I am proportionately more careful for more serious charges; and this is an extraordinarily serious charge, indeed.
