I have obviously never heard of Esequibo before, but how important is it for ordinary Venezuelans? What do your history textbooks say about it? What do the maps show? Do most people actually consider it part of Venezuela that was unfairly taken away, or is it more like "meh, bygones be bygones". More like Falklands or more like... I don't know... Koenigsberg... no, that's too recent, maybe like Alsace–Lorraine?

Does Venezuela even need more oil? I thought it already has enough to make it super rich, if the government was a bit more... uhm... normal.

The two different scenarios I was talking about were (1) Poker Player (allegedly) and/or airfinex contacting your clients and (2) you contacting icopress' clients. I re-read my posts and I don't see any mention of icopress talking to your clients so I don't know where you got that from.

If you think that (1) was unethical, then you should also apply the same standard to yourself and not do (2), or at least admit that what you did was also unethical instead of starting this fallacious counterattack.

As for icopress discussing something with your clients, his post didn't make it clear if he messaged them first, and in the end he decided against it, so I don't think this compares. If anything, it shows that icopress has more consistency in his words/actions.


Even more of a reason to lock the topic and do this via PM. Why start a public thread and then ask to ignore it.

Edit: grammar.

Paging Hispo... we need an insider to tell us what's going on.

Sounds like some insane populist delusion but what do I know...

You did not think it was unethical for someone to message your clients with the warning about you? That's news to me.

Or you're just trolling me now, which makes this thread a big joke. Lock it and move on would be my advice but I know you won't listen.

When you complained about Poker Player, if you had said something like "this would have been ok if you were a campaign manager looking to poach my clients"... actually it would have made even less sense to me but at least you would sound somewhat more consistent above. Now it just sounds like you're making up excuses.

I understand that this that way to you, i.e. others messaging your clients - bad, you messaging other manager's clients - good. However:

1) For the person sending the messages, it looks reasonable to warn someone that they're doing business with an untrustworthy (in their opinion) user.
2) For the person receiving the messages, a warning about someone's untrustworthiness they can just ignore if they don't care, or perhaps they didn't know and it might be good to know. A message from a competing manager... they can ignore as well. No huge difference although I personally would be more annoyed by promotional messages, if at all.
3) For an outside observer, no big difference either way. Someone messaged someone about the business they're doing on the forum. As long as it doesn't break forum rules (which promo messages might be more likely to do but I'm not sure).

Edit: When I say "no big difference", I don't mean that this is acceptable or unacceptable in my opinion, I mean that if you consider one scenario unethical/unacceptable/etc, then the other one likely is unethical/unacceptable/etc too. Consistency.

I know icopress to be a very reasonable person, and I know you're a great manager but perhaps a tad too sensitive when someone says something about you... I mean look at the threads you tend to create on this board. If you did nothing wrong, you did nothing wrong. Threads like these won't help you prove that - likely the opposite, having to defend yourself on something like this makes it look more sketchy than it probably is.

The only thing obvious is that when you bullied someone in the playground and got your face bashed in, you would cry and complain that the other guy didn't play by your made up rules and/or turned out to be "not even in the same weight category". Your verbal gymnastics is impressive. However if you're trying to establish "new world order" or whatever putinists call it, then it follows from said gymnastics that you either miscalculated bigly or are just plain lying.

Richest country in the world, ruled by the greatest leader of all time, does not have enough resources to compete in the global markets or at least not suck horribly, and the lemmings still can't figure out why.

I think that's exactly what they did. I barely use youtube but my feed is full of cybertruck "reviews", not sure why, maybe I accidentally googled it from my throwaway android account. This "influencer" shit after the fake "delivery event" is probably their strategy in selling the truck that's 3 years late at twice the promised price.

I'm sure that one could feed your posts to one of those newfangled AI/ML thingies and produce somewhat coherent LoyceV-like posts for at least two days.

As for Simwhatshername (can't be bothered to remember how many Ms and Ys there are, sorry), the current owner of the account is such a clown that regardless of whether it's the same person as the original owner or not, there is very little reason to trust them with anything. But I find OP's observations quite interesting and credible, and considering the password change I'd say ownership change is likely to have happened.

Uhm.... weren't you complaining at some point about someone messaging your clients behind your back?

Nothing to do with what I said.


It seems to be news to you that Kremlin is lying most of the time, including about how they're pissing away your country for no reason other than misplaced ambitions of a deranged gnome. Or you know it and just don't care.


Except western media didn't invade Ukraine so that they could justify killing Ukrainians by calling them "nazis".


LOL behold geopolitical expert again trying to make it sound as if Kremlin never tried to bribe western politicians or even entire countries with petrodollars and cheap gas... still not able to connect the dots on why this brilliant strategy didn't work though.

LOL you've been massively lied to about the purposes of the "special operation" but you're fine with that because it was never about "nazis" or anything... just some good old genocidal Russian imperialism that you adore so much. I'm just not quite sure why you're shy to parrot all of the Kremlin propagandist stuff, not just select bits. You're skipping the parts about nuking Berlin and London and all that shit, as if you don't really believe it perhaps, yet all the things about "nazis" must be absolutely true. No cognitive dissonance?

What happened to "protecting" Russian language in Ukraine, and "nazis"?

Funny how even when you admit being lied to, you're still trying to find ways to justify your stupidity.

The topic is Russian invasion in Ukraine, not really your personal diary and wall-quoting yourself.

Do you have anything to say on-topic, or is it just Cuba, Taliban, Israel, Taiwan etc? Seems like every problem anywhere in the world exists only to justify your fuehrer's actions. Might be great in your current condition but sounds utterly absurd in the real world.

Well, TBH I'm not too sad either, what with Deebo hauling in all those TDs.

This is the year for niners, right?

Poor iggles, getting a bit sad to watch

Not sure how to tell you this, but you're arguing with yourself here. Sorry about your mental illness, perhaps taking a break from the internet would be beneficial for you.

"Another one bites the dust" might be more relevant to the queen's current... uhmmm... status.


No, I'm just lazy. Shoveling all those bits into the intertubes is hard work.

I found this website that has literally everyone's IP address:

http://icanhazip.com/

Scariest website of all the intertubes. Don't click!

Sounds like a solid business plan, let's test it out. Would you like to buy your IP or should I sell to the highest bidder?

(wondering if I should add "j/k" but I think various humorless timelords will archive it as proof of abuse and corruption either way)

You might be on to something here. I think the safest thing to do would be to ban any mention of Bitcoin on this forum. Then we can all safely post vapid chatbot-generated texts on the Bitcoin Discussion board, peddle some shitcoins here and there, and maybe run a few scams in the marketplace (but obviously take only PayPal payments).
