The only agenda I have is holding you to your contractual agreement. You can end this at any time by shipping to Minerjones. Honor your contractual agreement.

Thanks for the pointless screed. Promptly disregarded. Literally no one agrees with you. You have no one to blame for this but yourself. Honor your contractual agreement.

Here is a little demonstration...

Vod, please quote anywhere where you substantiated any of the claims you made in your negative ratings against me. Surely quoting the substantiation you claim to have presented is not that difficult now is it?

You are going to have to deal with this like it or not.

I think it is a combination of the price not being as high as he hoped, and the fact that I called him out for trying to enforce clearly invalid bids. He knows I won't release my TXID to him, so he probably thinks this is a convenient out for him. Unfortunately for him, I am a huge cunt and I refuse to be out cunted. Especially when I made several attempts so deescalate, handle it in private, and made every reasonable compromise to meet his demands.

I am sure most people think this whole thing is dumb, because it is, but people shouldn't be allowed to act like this without repercussions, otherwise he is just going to do it to the next person he has a disagreement with. IMO it is better to just let him burn himself out in a massive public fireball so he doesn't have the opportunity to do it again. If he was reasonable at any point in this exchange I would have just dropped it, but he insists on being as unreasonable as possible.

I agree this situation is being manipulated in a Hegelian manner to to synthesize an outcome. Regardless, that doesn't mean this virus isn't a serious threat. Taking precautions is prudent. Normalcy bias is just as dangerous as overreacting.

Vod is not a big fan of substantiating any of his accusations, as you can see for dozens of pages here as well. That is his game. Make accusations, deflect and never substantiate them when asked to, then claim he already did so, then move on to make even more accusations to topic slide.

OP: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5225031.0;all

Archive: https://archive.is/s3bl2

A rough summary of everything wrong with this auction and seller.

1. Self moderated auction thread
2. Attempts to justify trying to modify bid amounts based on what was clearly an invalid and erroneous bid based on the rules in his OP.
3. Accuses me of making threats to him in PM that never happened and he refuses to quote.
4. Posted several of my PMs without permission.
5. Making demands to have transaction information in spite of the fact that I agreed to have the escrow, Minerjones, hold both the payment and reship the bar.
6. Then violates his contractual agreement with me based on his demands for transaction information that were never part of the original agreement contract.

Based on his behavior it is not unreasonable to ask for an escrow. I didn't agree to his choice of escrow, and I picked literally the most trusted escrow on the forum. He is making some strained argument that having my transaction information protects him to manufacture an excuse to violate our contractual agreement.

Since he has already repeatedly demonstrated in this thread he has no concern for my privacy by posting my private messages multiple times without permission, I would say not trusting him with any personal information is perfectly reasonable. The fact is however, he is trusting Minerjones with his funds and with his product. He is literally trusting his word that he will pay him as promised, but some how he can't be trusted without him getting more of my private information.

In summary this entire auction has been a clusterfuck that MagicByt3 refuses to take any responsibility for by accommodating reasonable demands for an escrow and privacy, and instead is opting to argue about things I even already agreed to. Apparently the fact that I even asked him for something he didn't want is a problem.

I don't care what you want. You have a contract with me. An auction is an open contract to anyone who wants to make a bid, furthermore you explicitly accepted my bid. The auction didn't work the way you wanted it to so you want to violate the contract. I am not releasing you from your obligations under this contract.

The way you conducted yourself DURING THE AUCTION is what caused me not to trust you. I had no way to know you would behave this way when I placed a bid. You don't get to unilaterally dismiss my bid because you are unhappy, that is not how auctions work. The fact that you fulfilled your obligations for 2 other people is not proof of your reputability, sorry.

Your funds are waiting with literally the most trusted member on the forum, which you implicitly are trusting their word, because he would be holding your funds and your product, but in the same breath you claim you don't trust his word that he has the funds. You keep talking about this auction as if you get to define all of the terms after the fact. You don't. That's not how auctions or contracts work, which is exactly what everyone was trying to tell you when you attempted to enforce invalid bids. You are imposing unreasonable demands that you know I will not agree to in order to purposely violate your contractual obligation to me. This is not acceptable, and I am not going to just go away because you would rather be difficult.

You have funds waiting for you with the most trusted escrow on the forum. All you have to do is ship him the bar and this will be over. I would rather not open a flag for you over this, but if you do not fulfill your contractual obligation to me I will. There is a lesson for you here, and you are going to learn it one way or another. I attempted to handle this in private with much less drama, but before I could even discuss it with you you were posting my PMs all over the thread. I have been exceptionally patient with you throughout this clusterfuck of an auction, but you have exhausted my patience. Ship the bar to Minerjones so we never have to interact again. Please.

You mean like you made false accusations about me threatening you? You never did post that quote of me threatening you BTW. Everything I said was true, this whole thread has been nothing but you inventing shit and creating reasons to argue for no reason. Exhibit A, you insist on arguing about signatures when I already agreed to ship it to Minerjones and let you have all the signatures you wanted.

It is real simple. If you don't trust the escrow's word that he is holding payment, trusting him to hold your money and your bar doesn't make any sense now does it? Nothing you have been arguing about in this entire thread makes ANY sense.

I am objectively and observably being persecuted. You aren't reading what I am saying. It doesn't matter if I cave to EVERY SINGLE ONE of their demands, they will INVENT new things to accuse me of, they have already done it before, and they will continue doing it until their ability to abuse these ambiguous standards is removed.

The Coronavirus has been public knowledge for what, a month? Lets do some simple math.

2000 x 12 months = 24000 dead

Of course this is assuming those numbers are not under reported (unlikely), and doesn't take into account the logarithmic rise of such a highly infectious disease, the much higher mortality rates, or several other important factors when calculating the impact of any global pandemic. This argument that it is no worse than a regular flu is dead. Stop making it. It is not just ignorant it is dangerous because it gives people a false sense of security and encourages them to ignore the very real threat this virus poses.

As Flying Hellfish removes very on topic posts of my own, in my own thread, reports of off topic posts are marked bad:

Speaking about The Coronavirus Outbreak thread, can some one explain to me the on topic part of this post reported for being off topic that was marked bad?

Is it wrong for a mass murderer to lecture people about not being vegan? The point is they are picking nits in order to distract form their long and regular pattern of abusive behavior. They want to accuse me of everything they do at a much more massive scale. This is all just a pathetic game of control where they want to dictate every detail to me in order to distract from their own behavior.

The truth is I could be the perfect human being and there would be no path to redemption with these people, they would still invent things to accuse me of. I have been here for 8 years and have left no more than a handful of negative ratings. I have shown incredible and exceptional restraint in my use of the trust system. These people leave more negative ratings in an hour some times than I have done during those entire 8 years, but yeah, you are right, I am the hypocrite, not them.

I hope you all are having fun picking peanuts out of my turds. Just a reminder, a handful of peanuts does not equal a pattern. What is a pattern is obvious with one look at any of the left ratings from any of the clown car riders here so vociferously protesting any changes.

Do whatever you like, no one is going to deal with you no matter what you do at this point. All because you needed to have your little tit for tat retribution game catered to. You don't get to unilaterally declare the contract void, that is not how contracts work, sorry. The bidder was indeed confused. The problem was when you pretended that obvious confusion was a valid bid and fraudulently tried to claim it when it clearly was not valid. Eight pages later you are still telling everyone how right you were, and just as many people are convinced, that being zero.

The escrow told you payment was made. Either you trust the escrow or you don't. You having more of my private information which you have demonstrated you have no respect for serves absolutely no purpose other than giving you a pretext for violating your agreement, and stroking your ego by handing down demands. If Minerjones was intent on robbing you, having my TXID offers you no protection. You are implicitly trusting him by using him as an escrow, but out of the other side of your mouth you make claims as if his word can not be trusted and you require proof. Just send the bar and stop acting like petulant child.

Yes Vod, we all know you are a very old man slipping into dementia. Perhaps this music is more your speed:

It's got that ha cha razmataz you enjoy so much.

Oh but I am, the special communist censor treatment. The theme of the removed posts is pretty obvious, as is your pattern of behavior of censorship regardless of how many leftist toadies and clowns you have here stroking you off to serve their own ulterior motives. I noticed you finally removed the off topic post I reported that you refused to act on for several weeks... did some one get a talking to for abusing their authority? Is that why you felt the compulsion to remove the very on topic link about another ANTIFA attack in a thread about ANTIFA?

One more thing, explain to me please why this post was removed:


I am clearly on topic and simply offering some helpful advice to the OP that I think he could benefit from. What is the issue here besides your compulsion to interfere with my ability to use that subforum as much as your pretext of moderation allows you?

Explaining how you think you are right over and over again doesn't make you right no matter how much you want it to. You attempted to manufacture fraudulent bids, you didn't like being called out on it, and as a result you made repeated unreasonable demands for my private information because you claim it protects you (it does not) as a form of retribution. You are a joke, but at least everyone knows now and you can be left to tell yourself how correct you think you are while no one transacts with you here ever again.

Off topic posts reported above are left, and on topic posts I make here are being removed, but I assure you there is no censorship or selective enforcement involved at all, and Theymos is on top of it he promises.

This link was deemed unsuitable to be posted here, and an explanation is required in order to prevent more censorship from our communist overlord who more than likely sympathies with the perpetrators of this violence, hence his eagerness to remove it.

The article talks about one of many incidents of violence perpetrated by insane leftists. Firebombings, beatings, running over campaign tents, openly advocating for gulags and reeducation camps. This is the legacy of the modern left as they screech at the top of their lungs how everyone to the right of Mao is a Nazi. People are being told these deportation facilities are concentration camps by leftist activists and the media, and being unhinged as they are, they take these accusations literally and have repeatedly violently attacked these facilities.

Of course none of this is ever reported in the media, and this forum is one of the only remaining outlets for such information to be reported, but what is important is that I type a detailed description of the contents along with the link to adhere to the letter of forum rules. The the awareness of the increasingly insane and violent behavior becoming more and more common among the left is secondary to these goals of course.
