No man.. That shit ain't close to true.. As I just thoroughly demonstrated..



"Vod began spreading lies about my taxes of which he has no knowledge, in order to try and "negotiate a settlement" which is how he publicly disguised his extortion attempt. When I refused to give in to his extortion disguised as a "settlement" on behalf of the IRS, Vod dedicated massive amounts of his time to spreading lies about my actions. Behavior like this shouldn't be tolerated in this community. Screenshot in the event he deletes his post: https://i.imgur.com/B7nkVi4.png"


Lets break this down and see if we can find any untruths.. Feel free to help me out...

"Vod began spreading lies about my taxes of which he has no knowledge"
Yeah, you have no idea what he pays and what he doesn't..

"in order to try and "negotiate a settlement" which is how he publicly disguised his extortion attempt. When I refused to give in to his extortion disguised as a "settlement" on behalf of the IRS"
You wanted him to post his tax proofs on the basis that one of you would leave the forum for good depending on what he did or did not pay.. He refused to post any proofs of his taxes, which he had no obligation to do.. He refused your offer..
Maybe he would rather maintain his financial privacy than give a fuck about proving something on the internet??

"Vod dedicated massive amounts of his time to spreading lies about my actions."
True..

"Behavior like this shouldn't be tolerated in this community."
Well, I think it should be tolerated, but recognized for what it is, which is not lately the behavior befitting a good role model of the community..


The 2 opposing negative ratings are on 2 entirely different levels of truthfulness..
His may include some opinion and maybe shouldn't use the word "extortion", while yours selfadmittedly is 100% untruthful manipulation intended to mislead the casual observer, and just place some red in retaliation..


I've told you before that I like that you do a lot of good things around here, and respect that you are a true OG user, but these are not the actions of someone I would look up to as a good role model.. I want to continue to see you do good things but stop this stupid shit..
A good example to lead by would be to hold yourself to the highest of standards no matter the situation and always do the right thing no matter if you stand to gain or lose by doing so, and you are sadly falling far short of that benchmark.

Trust ratings are not pawns in a game of chess..
Involving the government to investigate something you cannot, and get rid of someone that you cannot, over a personal quarrel, is not fair game, and could lead to disastrous consequences far in excess of some internet pissing contest..

You didn't really report him to the IRS did you? I don't think you did..


Get some of my respect back by fixing your trust rating..
Make it something 100% true..
Even if you make it red for an opinion such as "I hate him!!", that would be better..
