TECSHARE asserted the accusation against PrimeNumber7 originated with you (and insinuated this thread is part of a personal ongoing effort to smear him). you denied that assertion, but AFAICT the earliest public accusation does appear to come from you. please correct me if i'm wrong.
Why did you omit your own post from the fake quote pyramid? It originated with you
claiming that this thread made the PN7 == QS accusation but that's clearly false. I didn't make that accusation either - my neutral rating was worded the way it was (and made neutral to begin with) for a good reason.
So why don't you dispense with the pretzels and state exactly what it is you're trying to pin on me. Posting a neutral rating based on a suspicion? Guilty as charged. Anything else?
Yeah the part where you start the accusations, then refer to them later as if some one else started them. You then claim that prior accusations exist, you swear it, except you can't produce them. Like I said before:
although i am loathe to get involved in this kind of forum drama, i feel it's necessary to point out the apparent weakness of that "evidence":
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5219253.msg53658861#msg53658861i'm disappointed in the bad judgment exhibited here and in that thread. the fact that people are tagging PrimeNumber7 on the basis of such non-evidence is disappointing.
i've always had a low opinion of the default trust system and its politics. somehow you guys have managed to lower it even more.
The accusation was floating around? Like just in the ether? The beginnings of those accusations couldn't have been you couldn't it and you are simply laundering your own past accusations as if they were just "floating around" as if materializing out of the ether and from no one in particular? The really dumb thing about all of this is, even if you are right, who gives a fuck? Quickseller is a huge pain in the ass and has a history of making false accusations, along with a relatively minor impropriety were the damage was minimal if anything. What exactly are you protecting the community from here? I wouldn't trust Quickseller but I don't consider him a threat. All of this is self serving mobbing over nothing.
I have suspected it for a long time, that's not exactly a secret given my
neutral trust rating but as far as I can remember the first public mention of this link didn't come from me or from anyone I may have told about it. If I'm wrong about it I'm sure you'll prove it with solid evidence.
I also never said anything about "protecting the community". As far as being a threat, people casually doxed by Quickseller might disagree with you but it's up to everyone's individual choice if they want to share personal info with PrimeNumber7 or include him in their trust lists.
Why would I waste my time disproving a premise you have the burden of proof on?
This is a pattern of behavior among several "scambusters" here on the forum. They make accusations and just repeat them until people forget where it even came from and just act as it is now accepted fact. This is also known as operant conditioning, a primary technique used in propaganda and marketing. If you are so concerned about doxing, why is it you still have Vod on your trust list? Like I said before, you have a habit of picking a target then arranging facts around them to manipulate a certain narrative rather than following the facts themselves. The primary purpose of the trust system is to protect the community. Your use of it is an implicit claim of doing so with your action.
You are clearly demonstrating this pattern of behavior regardless if it was a neutral or not. You started the accusations, then a bunch of people who have disputes with Quickseller repeated them, you pretend like the accusations just popped out of nowhere and are just accepted fact. This is what is called information laundering and the media does it all the time to push bullshit stories. Oh, Joe Bob tweeted it, we can report it as he stated it. All it is is a thin legal protection from being culpable for spreading malicious lies. In your case a thin pretext for taking responsibility for claiming some one else made the claims and referencing back to them as justification for your current accusations.
