Re: ibminer’s factually false, defamatory, and reputationally scandalous statement
⭐ Merited by GazetaBitcoin (1)
Nullius cares about bitcoin and the forum. The alia scandal was pretty well known and nullius had a lot of interaction with the account. That account was possibly an alt of someone else here in the forum. That is the only explanation for how adept they were at sending out the trust ratings to well-known accounts while simultaneously, engaging with some of the most prolific posters to build up a "web of trust" pretty quickly.
ibminer using the word "underage" has been taken by nullius as causing harm to his reputation, the forum and bitcoin. Our biases work its way in how we see things. Nullius doesn't gel well with ibminer and suchmoon. Suchmoon doesn't like the way nullius wants to handle interpersonal issues. They have crossed words several times earlier. That bias shows itself as he ridiculed the post in the first reply itself without worrying about giving it a hearing (till now. Hopefully, he will).
Nullius's bias/ habit of turning everything into a logical explainer with all the links and evidence, while very scholarly, makes it vulnerable to trivialization. As its an old post you had in draft, i hope you PM'ed and waited for ibminer to respond. ibminer on his part may or may not see his statement as affecting the forum's integrity and may have only used it because, again, you guys do not get along well. A lot of time, people do not care about the bigger goal if they don't "like" someone on their own team. Happens all the time in organizations. So even though nullius, suchmoon, ibminer and a lot of others are on the same team, these spats are only helping those who would like to divide and conquer. Don't we have enough issues to deal with CSW/ Ver and the likes??
I do not look highly upon that whole maze of accusation, scams, insults and major rivalries involving QS, OG, Vod, Lauda where everyone is shaking hands with "let bygones be bygones". It is all too complicated and I don't yet understand why QS is being allowed to weave his way back from the accusations of sockpuppeting, extortion etc etc. Has he accepted or shown any remorse for what he was accused of? If he has I haven't yet seen it. I would love to see what prompted the peace treaty. Even in the unforgiving cypherpunk-world, peace/ forgiveness should always be welcome.
I take their example to say that if those people can think about it, maybe nullius, suchmoon, foxpup, ibminer, even you guys can think about it. Your differences are mostly difference of opinions on trust and are a result of a few smart-ass replies to each other. In terms of principles, you are all on the same team.
@ibminer, could you please remove that "underage" bit because the GGB profile that was used was "not underage". You even get to be Colonel Jessep here:
Alia was immediately on my radar when they appeared out of nowhere with a clever way to get a trust rating (even neutral) from me. And then they went on to invade every forum trading industry. I was hoping that it was just an impressively ambitious person, but as I kind of feared, I guess it was a setup for a long con or something.
