I said I am not going to ask malevolent to post here, on THIS thread
I doesn't have to be this thread, although honestly what's the difference? You're asking him to vouch for your thing but you can't ask him to post a short "yes, soha is not full of shit"?
Anyway, get me
any confirmation - this thread or in your sale thread or via PM - from malevolent that you indeed had all these communications with him exactly the way you described it and that he's ok with you using his name before the vouch was actually given.
And no, I'm not doing that for you. You're making the claim and it takes just a few seconds for you to prove it since you're already in communication with malevolent. Just do it.
