Vod has gotten a pass a large number of times and by the looks of it he is going to end up getting another pass and once again will not be held accountable.
Just to clarify, because I haven't read all the posts and threads in this drama: what would Vod be getting a pass on? Did he dox OgNasty? Did he report him to the IRS? I may have missed where these things actually happened, or the posts might have been deleted before I read them. I read a bunch of threats on Vod's part, but I'm not sure what he actually
did. And are the huge merit grants part of this issue or what?
I'm not trying to shut down discussion on this. On the contrary, I think it should be discussed until there's a resolution. I'm not playing ignorant, either. I have a tendency to skim threads, but in the ones involving Vod and OgNasty I did read them but don't know what Vod's offense was. I know he thinks OgNasty is cheating the IRS and was going to report him, but while that's controversial within this community it's not exactly wrong (if it's true).
First of all this is not the first time Vod has entered into this
pattern of harassment, and he has gotten the "he learned from his mistakes, let live and learn" treatment more times than I can remember. A lot of this was before you were even around. What he actually did was malicious behavior. First of all even if OG did owe taxes, it is none of his fucking business, or the forums for that matter. Second of all this community is big on privacy, and regardless if the information was previously available it was not widely known, now it is. So you boohoo about the technicalities to make excuses all day if you want, but what this all boils down to is there is ZERO excusable reason for Vod to have made the post to begin with. The obvious intent of malicious harassment sets precedent that pretty much this entire community can agree on, that DOXing people except with evidence of criminal activity is not acceptable. Vod is not an IRS agent, even if his claims were true he included no evidence to support the claim. In summary this is cut and dry YET ANOTHER case of harassment of the user base here in a long line of this kind of behavior from Vod.
Anyone else notice the new way these DT1 members are shutting down conversation that doesn't benefit their gang? Simply call the other person a liar or a hypocrite.
The average user just reads this and automatically believes it to be true because the people they look up to are the ones saying it.
But they want forgiveness for their friends.
There is a term for this.
Gaslighting
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/GaslightingAs far as I know I was also on Hampuz's trust list until today, really not even sure what the issue is because he blocked me from messaging him like a coward regardless of the fact that we have had open pleasant communication up until about 2 days ago. Now I am excluded by him and my only conclusion is he had his chain yanked and he is falling in like like a good little subservient toad. Shame, I had hopes for him. Too bad he feels the need to board a burning ship.
