It's too bad you destroyed your credibility.

How's that?

TheBuddha ago

When you did silly things like try to place me into this cabal. It's not like we haven't had this conversation before.

You don't get credibility back so easily. You did things like accuse me of being SRS when I know I've never even had a reddit account. You included me in this list when I know I'm the guy who declined to join SBBH or any of the other drama. You throw down baseless accusations. I told you then and now I'm just repeating myself where a wider audience can see that you lack credibility.

I specifically told you i didnt think you were in the cabal, you are just an old fart fitting in wherever you go.

I never accused you of that, I think Sar did merely because you were moderating one of their subs.

Are you sure you are recalling our conversation correctly? lol. Last time we talked about this I agreed you didn't get involved in drama.

Should I go back and find yours and my conversations specifically? You sound like you are confusing me with Sar.

I should have been more clear. You, as in the royal you. You as in the whole sub. The whole sub has no credibility, none. It's patently absurd and will take quite some time before anything posted to it can be remotely evaluated for truth.

If you have issues with this, remember this adage:

"When you lay with dogs, you get fleas."

Considering you barely know what the fuck is even going on here I'll just take that as constructive criticism and maybe a little bit of dementia.

TheBuddha ago

No, I know what is going on - within reason. I read a lot of what the various groups say.

The whole sub lacks credibility. Even if you once had a good goal, you ruined this. That it took multiple conversations, with multiple people, is even more damaging. That your dear leader attempted to defend their choice, with bizarre accusations, makes it even more suspect.

Your sub is like the witch hunts, except those required more evidence. Here, it's just baseless accusations with guilt before innocence. I know, because I was one of the accused. This is more than justification to disbelieve any further accusations. It's also reasonably amusing for me to inform others of this. Yes, yes I am greatly amused by pointing out that your sub had me on the list of SRS folks.

And, I have to admit, I'm pretty easily amused. Hell, this is high drama for me! This is about as involved as I get in voat politicking, other than some snarky replies in the anon boards. I'm secretly kind of hoping to get my SRS title back on this sub. That amused me greatly.

What exactly are you referring to?

Maybe you can't see it but we document obvious SRS tactics because we have dealt with them for 5 years+. I'd love to provide proof on paper but that's not how the internet works. I don't have access to the logs necessary.

Here, it's just baseless accusations with guilt before innocence.

Nothing we post here is random, there is a clear reason for it. SRS acts in patterns and we post those patterns.

I know, because I was one of the accused.

That one is on you. Openly modding an SRS sub and not denouncing them looks bad on you.

This is more than justification to disbelieve any further accusations. It's also reasonably amusing for me to inform others of this. Yes, yes I am greatly amused by pointing out that your sub had me on the list of SRS folks.

Like I said you mod an SRS sub. I understand you were unaware of it but it wasn't a personal slight on you.

TheBuddha ago

Moderate? LOL I am on their list but haven't ever moderated a thing there.

If that's your criteria then you're more insane than I'd hoped.

To go back to the beginning, I was quite surprised to find I was on the list. A few people defended this, including the sars fella, insisting that I was something I'm not. I was okay with this, but baffled. I later made a more lengthy post and, sure enough, the accusations continued. This went on for a few posts, as I didn't bother to defend myself from these horrible baseless accusations every day. Each time, they'd make these same accusations and then they'd quote and link things that I distinctly had no part in.

That one really confused me.

See, they'd link to threads I hadn't even posted in and sometimes claim I was an alt - which really amused me.

At one point, they even said I hadn't been active in a month. Now, this was greatly amusing. It was a bug that prevented my comment cache from showing the most recent comments. I'm a pretty prolific poster and they decided I'd been inactive for a month, which means they didn't even click page two of my comments which would have cleared that nonsense up pretty quickly.

A few days later, maybe a week, I was suddenly removed from the list without notice or reason.

So, from my perspective, there's no sanity, honesty, or validity to this sub. If I have been baselessly accused, multiple times by multiple people who appear to lack sanity, then it's a reasonably position to hold that the rest of the accusations are also baseless.

They get randoms on the mod team but that doesnt change the facts that its SRS subs. Just take it easy old timer.

Then lurk a bit more.

TheBuddha ago

I've lurked since before you knew Voat existed.

Voat... Serious business!
