I have no interest in getting any "boot-licking" merits. Thankfully, i have garnered a few without resorting to that. You could say though that I have a bias to judge people like Lauda, actmyname, Pharmacist etc. more favorably compared to others. This is after seeing the post history, references left for scammers and the moderation done by them. It'll be clear to anyone (except those who had their accounts suffer) that there actions have been for the good of the forum.

aTriz's scam doesn't bound Lauda or ALU to take the fall for it. You probably think they should take the fall for it. That is the only thing they have refused to do. Other than that Lauda has negged the aTriz account and it's gone for what it was worth. Do you have any evidence of this complicity except the "because they weren't quick to condemn" argument?

Which part is "Utter non-sense"?? This..?? People who are prejudiced because their accounts were damaged or because they didn't get the attention/ respect they think they deserve, may not think the same.
In the bold part above, you do agree that people have a score to settle here. Again, nobody is denying that a scam has happened.That is why aTriz has lost his credibility. Now when you stretch that to include "as will those who turned a blind eye", it just becomes a witch hunt devoid of solid evidence and only based on what you think is right. If you have evidence, let people see it.


Maybe you are right, maybe I am right. You are the one insinuating about more skeletons so maybe you should try gathering evidence. Without that, these are just opinions and we are all free to have one. BTW, Gone are the days when people were going to trust 4100 BTC to a single entity on Bitcointalk so TF level long con, well, this ain't gonna be one.

And yes, One thing we do agree on:
