This topic is negative PR and defamation.
Everybody else already explained the obvious: Why Vispilio is wrong. You just hit the deeper implications.
A warning to business owners and managers: Avoid Vispilio like plague. He has hereby clearly demonstrated that if he does not get the deal he wants from you, then he will wage a defamatory public smear campaign screaming that you are racist (!), and demanding that theymos intervene in your private business affairs (!!). If you are ever approached by Vispilio for a deal of any kind, please read
what he himself says in this threadand then decline all contact with him as firmly and cleanly as practicable, for your own protection!
I will be red-tagging Vispilio
again for this reason, with this post as the reference. I suggest that others do the same. I will further consider tagging some of his supporters on this thread, for the same reason.
When time permits, I will update my
active Reputation thread about Vispilio (
q.v.) with appropriate quotes and cross-references.
ChipMixer does not deserve this.
DarkStar_ does not deserve this.
They are both good, honest people. A despicable cretin is opportunistically exploiting the moment of a scandal which does not involve them, and attempting to drag them as innocent bystanders into a crossfire with his own addition of smear-job accusations against them. Said cretins transparently malicious motive: Revenge for not being given a business deal. The whole situation is not only wrong: It is sick and sickening.
I say this as someone who has no interest in joining the paid ChipMixer signature ad campaign. If DarkStar_ were to offer me a slot today, then I would politely decline it for the reason that I do not wish to take a paid signature at this time. As I have stated before in public (and in private communications with several different campaign managers), I dont absolutely promise that I will never take a paid signatureI am not rich; it would be imprudent of me to totally foreclose that opportunity. But I am very reluctant to ever take a paid signature; and nothing will foreseeably change that.
I have nothing against good posters who take paid ads. I thank DarkStar_ for running the ChipMixer campaign in a way that benefits the forum by paying top money for top qualityand I appreciate that ChipMixer is essentially funding good forum contributions as part of its advertising model. I just want to avoid a paid ad myself; and besides, if I were to take a signature ad, then where would I put my beloved PGP identity-key fingerprint?
