So Jay, are you now convinced that I've been truthful all along,
Whether you are truthful or not is difficult for me to know. You are still pretty new in these here parts, and seemingly quite the drama queen wannabe.
From my perspective, from the beginning, you had a poor way of presenting your matters and/or responding to inquiries.. whether that was purposeful or not, I am not in a position to say...
Even though several guys here (including yours truly) are sympathetic to Ham operators, to guys with technical knowledge and/or to guys with technical experiences and/or otherwise interesting experiences, you seem to want me to come out and say that you are the greatest thing since sliced bread and that you did not deserve whatever level of backlash and/or scrutiny that you received based on your posting choices?
I doubt that it was ONLY me who had questions regarding your posting choices, even though perhaps from time to time I was a wee bit meaner than I needed to have had been. perhaps? but your ongoing emotionalism is not helping to make me feel guilty if I might have possibly made some unwarranted meanie comments in your direction.
and I'm not a threat to anyone?
That's a strange way of putting matters. I think that many of us, including myself, appreciate guys chiming in on topics and/or who have experiences that they want to weave into bitcoin discussions in this thread to the extent that such guys aren't just wanting to pump drama.
Has this issue finally been resolved to your satisfaction?
You want to keep talking about the topic? I doubt that you are going to get me proclaiming that the matter is resolved in the sense that you already made various posts and I already made various responsive posts (way more than I would have had wanted to make), yet it seems possible that we should be able to move on from here. Perhaps? perhaps? Yet, you are not seeming to want to let it go, and surely you are going to be used as an example of what not to do.. so if you want to consider that as "resolved," then so be it.
And yeah, guys do not always agree in this thread, including we might not agree about some topic related to bitcoin or some topics that are being posted in the thread and/or whether a poster is being disingenuine or perhaps another poster is being too much of a meanie..
I would imagine that most normal people do not come to forum threads in order to create or to incite drama - even though drama does sometimes end up taking place.
Does this proof work for you guys? To quash any suspicions about the likelihood that I had posted fake images or images of equipment that was not mine has definitely been quite an eye-opening experience!

I'm even surprised I lasted this long...
You're sweating this too much. I would just have replied "Fuck you". Why would anyone lie about being a radio ham and why would anyone care if they did?Thank you, Richy_T! I appreciate your thoughtful comment. Yeah, I should have!
@Richy_T - You know, I put up with this shit because I'm new here and more like a guest, so I felt obliged to go along with their dumbass requests to prove that their stupid accusations were idiotic bullshit.
Victim?
I find it odd how some people here claim to be overly cautious about not revealing anything about themselves (a.k.a. possible opsec sensitive info), but someone like Legendary member 'philipma1957' is not bothered at all by saying what state he lives in (or where he is looking for a house in another state), and the distance he lives from the water's edge during the recent storm that moved up the east coast. And he is unbothered by providing how to view his eBay page. Then there are some OG members here that pestered the hell out of me about stupid shit that revealed absolutely nothing meaningful. Fucking amazing!!!
OpSec is a choice, and forum members will sometimes get into trouble if they try to investigate into members who attempt to take better OPsec measures. Of course, there are also public figures in bitcoin, and sometimes they will visit this thread.. Some folks choose to be more open and public than others, and this forum does not expect members to be public and it will frequently punish members who try to out other members.
Again, over the years, some members in this here thread have concluded that they needed to make changes to their forum profile after they had made OpSec mistakes (revelations) and some forum members had gone through extensive deletions of their historical forum posts likely due to their having had regretted some of their earlier OpSec revealings... Any of us could make some mistakes in regards to how much we reveal and the context of our revealings.

...you could as well read the thread from page1 as I did at the time, but I admit at the current page count this could be a quite exhausting task......
The disappearance of several images throughout the forum and within this thread, including Imgur images has made some of the historical posts more difficult to understand within a proper context.

I trust that the original accusation of plagiarization is now history - as there was never any logical reason for such suspicion in the first place!!!
No logical reason for suspicions. You make no sense. You seem to be in your own little fantasy world.
I feel it was all just made up bullshit to harass a new member and flex some OG muscle... In my opinion no OG member should be proud of that bullying!
Poor lil guy.

All in all, blaming WO's for just following this
pragma of verification, (despite you are (hopefully) knowing better now) is indeed very toxic behavior.
Surely, BTCETFInvestor is not as innocent as he is trying to make himself out to be. Nonetheless, he keeps wanting to stir the pot by suggesting guys here are out to get him, which is likely not the case.
At the same time, BTCETFInvestor still provided questionable information (and explanation), at best... not that he needed to provide whatever information, explanation and/or evidence that he had chosen to provide in the first place, and at the same time, he continues to want to denigrate the idea of OPsec as if OpSec does not matter... while seeming to continue to want to argue for the mere sake of it.
