I strongly dislike discussions in secrecy when it comes to how Voat or its UA should be changed.

This was done to make sure that we could reach a common ground and it could be proposed to Voat's user base as a way to achieve a closure on this whole matter. However when the post was made public you provided no feedback at all. Instead you proceeded to comment on a post that was created to slander me to which the OP of this post pinged me by mistake and then remove the ping after I called him out on his slander.

I am not part of the group that may have tried to discredit you. I ran some numbers on my own. You unnecessarily sent me your IRL info about yourself. I took that as a red flag

I did it because I trusted you and given the fact that this group keeps on attacking my character as a way to pursue their own agenda you as someone that can be objective on the matter can show them otherwise.

Maybe you tried to get close to me, but I do not like to one day be responsible for the exposure of your identity.

No, I called for your objectivity with proof showing who I am and that I do not use alts. And you are not responsible for such thing. The one responsible is me and me alone. The only thing I did was provide you with concrete evidence of what I have said in the past proving not only my consistency but also my honesty.

I also took the opportunity to look up your account history and found that your timezone did not seem to agree with your location.

Depends on what you are looking. For example when I am at work I am connected with a VPN when I am at home or on my phone it does show my location. So for example if you are looking at my account now, my location shows probably SF, CA.

Which I have confirmed also in the past and you are quite a good researcher to find that prove yourself. You are falling by the convenience of the same paranoia this group is engaging against me. This is why I sent you my info.

Of course not, I am against doxxing of other users, aside from self-doxxing. Do you ever look at zyklone_b's all-is-art doxxing attempts while fixated your target on ScrubbinOutOldBlue's submissions??

Of course I did, however I do not support engaging on the same tactics as your enemies to "win" your battle but losing the war and compromising Voat's integrity on the process, which this group managed to do in one single night.

I disagree with whoever is currently using this method to make a point, which you seem to have failed to understand. I do not have much faith in PV's objectivity or supposedly unbiased interests in protecting Voat.

Fair enough. My commitment was to try to change that perspective on Voat. I understand why many don't believe in it, but many applied guilty by association just because several of you don't like @kevdude (anymore or at all) instead of looking at what my post history shows, and the intent that I was aiming for.

I believe everyone deserves the benefit of doubt.

Good because it is what I have pushed for a while here and haven't received such an opened mind and eye from the part of this group that instead in engaging in dialogue proceeded by attempting to character assassinate anyone that they saw were standing between what they wanted to accomplish and Voat.

For the record, I do not have issue of someone using their alts, if they are not used for some ill intended purposes. However, I am strongly against the use of alts for things such astroturfing and consensus cracking. Take TWOS for example, using alt and main account within the same conversation to convince someone to verify certain things that he was supposed to prove.

Well I am against using alts in a whole because it opens the door to dishonest behaviors much like the oldblue alt engaged on as well as the type of behavior you are describing above. However that is the decision of the individual. How would I tell others to not use alts if I was using them myself? That would be hypocritical to say the least.

I am beyond that even at the expense of a poor effort to character assassinate me and try to attack my credibility.

Now as stated before, had you had any feedback, you could have very well provided feedback on the open discussions of the post that I made in private to both of the parties that were implicated in the whole matter. Because after all this parties were discussing situations and resolutions that would have implicated and affected all Voat's user base.

You will have to excuse my dislike on how you proceeded in that comment of yours. But I will not hide it. Does that makes me trust you less? No but I certainly disliked it because in the end, whether you see it or not, you put coal to burn on their fire.

Satisfied now? I sometimes go by a week or two, without checking my Voat account.

No not really. (Not regarding you) I am not satisfied with how Voat's current state of affairs is and will not be untill we reach dialogue to reach an agreement and move past from this that you can agree with me has gone way too far and for way too long.
