Title: Matthew Wright -- a recipe for community justice Post by: thezerg on September 10, 2012, 12:52:56 AM I am an impartial observer; I neither invested in Pirate or bet with Matthew. There is no rational person or court who would agree with MNW's technical interpretation of his contract. Fundamentally, you cannot call it a "bet" if you don't pay the other side, just like you cannot call it a "contract" if value is not received by both parties. Additionally, an example does not override the fundamental intention of a contract. There is absolutely no doubt in my mind he would have taken the money if he had won.
This forum needs to grow up. Bitcoins are worth 10 USD EACH now. Real money. This garbage tarnishes the reputation of Bitcoin and has extended/doubled the agony of the people defrauded by Pirateat40. There is only one thing we as a community can do. It is simple. Matthew N Wright no longer exists. First put him on ignore, and LEAVE him there. Do not respond to any of his posts. Do not even acknowledge they exist. Do not read them. Do not read replies that quote him. [EDIT: he's fired] Do not post to or read any threads he starts. Do not use any of his companies or services. Post a message here if you will support and implement this method of justice so Matthew and other members of the community can see that something is being done. Please keep this posting to a yes or no. You can discuss MNW's behavior on the many other threads. Matthew N Wright you are not welcome here. We cannot stop you from showing up. We cannot stop your sockpuppets. But when we discover them, they will also go on ignore. Anything you do will wither and die. There is nothing for you here.

Do not even acknowledge they exist. Do not read them. Do not buy Bitcoin Magazine until Vladimir fires him. PM Vladimir cancelling your subscription (even if no refund is offered) unless he is no longer there. Tell Vladimir that reading his trash is just a waste of your time so he might as well not waste the postage. Do not post to or read any threads he starts. Do not use any of his companies or services.

Title: Re: Matthew Wright -- a recipe for community justice Post by: BCB on September 10, 2012, 01:01:02 AM I put MNW on ignore before the bitcoinica debacle and everyone kept quoting his text so he never really when away. He'll just fine another way of prying his way back into our consciousness.

This is probably the best way to treat an attention whore like this. He probably still gets something out of negative attention if he is a certain type of sociopath. Next he will probably do what Bruce Wagner did and start his own forum ( moderated by guess who ) for just himself and his "real friends", which this bet helped him to discover. Title: Re: Matthew Wright -- a recipe for community justice Post by: DeathAndTaxes on September 10, 2012, 01:02:35 AM Can we start more threads about him? Didn't you know? The best way to make someone not exist is to avoid the 10+ threads which already exist and then start a NEW ONE. Bonus points if you put the name of person who no longer exists in the title. That will double plus erase them. Title: Re: Matthew Wright -- a recipe for community justice Post by: thezerg on September 10, 2012, 01:09:55 AM Can we start more threads about him? Didn't you know?

That will double plus erase them. A method to achieve justice needed to be proposed. This is quite different then the other threads. Please keep your comments here to a "yes" or a "no". You can discuss why on those other threads. Title: Re: Matthew Wright -- a recipe for community justice Post by: adamstgBit on September 10, 2012, 01:12:48 AM each thread has it own twist.
and i enjoyed reading all of them :D Title: Re: Matthew Wright -- a recipe for community justice Post by: bitcoiners on September 10, 2012, 01:13:01 AM That will double plus erase them. That made me lol. I'm actually waiting for this guy to show his face here again. I can't wait personally. I just hope no one does something stupid like punch him in the face when they see him in London. I would feel really bad if something like that were to happen. Cheers!

He is noted for having many sockpuppets so he will just use one of those to troll with.

Unfortunately that may be true so we will have to ignore them as well. But countering this is to boycott ALL of his ventures (I think that bitcoin will rapidly outgrow support of ventures run by unknown, unverified individuals -- the pirate ponzi being 1st step). With no source of income his time and interest must be turned elsewhere. |
