Also interesting that OgNasty was sending trust ratings on the very first day the trust system was announced despite not knowing anything about it:

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=trust;u=18321;page=sent;offset=340

That's interesting? I knew what everyone knew after it was released and it was obvious how to leave a trust rating... What I didn't know was that I was chosen as a DT member without my knowledge so that every person I distrusted (excluded their ratings from my network) for leaving dishonest ratings would team up and try to damage my reputation and the reputation of any project I choose to support as retaliation for their inappropriate behavior being excluded from the network. I especially didn't think the person who thrust me into this position without my knowledge or approval would eventually empower these inappropriately behaving users to attack me and take no personal responsibility in the matter. That not withstanding, I feel sorry for the users such as yourself that missed the bitcointalk golden era. It was so awesome and everyone was so supportive of each other and willing to assist building projects. It was such an amazing time that I'm still willing to put up with the trolling here and continue to do the right thing in the face of harassment as a thank you to Bitcoin. Maybe had you been around for it you wouldn't be such a negative presence here and would know how to act right and encourage others to build on Bitcoin instead of trying to tear apart new users who don't behave according to your agenda.

One of these days when the dust has settled, we'll maybe know the story behind these people and what the forum and the fights on it meant to them each personally.

OG and Vod have this legendary rivalry that keeps popping up in the forum. Lauda has now long gone. New players keep dropping in and leaving. How can one forget QS? I wish someone someday will make a documentary about it all. Hope the narrative will be how things happened and not a biased viewpoint.

Often through these debates, it has always seemed like one man's truth was another man's lie.

It isn't a legendary rivalry. Vod is a liar who trolls me because he has no life and is desperately seeking some form of relevance. You would be disappointed with a documentary on the subject. I spend a vast majority of my day sitting behind a screen working on various projects that are mostly non-Bitcoin related. If it wasn't for the activity metric and lack of interesting community projects here as a result of the horrendous atmosphere that has been created, I would likely ignore him completely like I did for many years before this place became what it now is.
