Is this the first Ripple scam? You decide.

[misterbigg]

There's already been one accusation of Arvicco not delivering on his promise of BTC for XRP, and now he's deleted all his replies in this thread. He also keeps his thread locked (to prevent anyone from reporting on his misdeeds?) Anyone smell a rat?

[misterbigg]

I understand that you're upset that I called your bullshit when you were trying to fly it, but THIS is just mean.

So far I've bought close to 2 million XRP, and all I can see is positive feedback of people happy to do business with me.

Now you throw at me this baseless and fake accusation, based on WHAT? A hearsay of a person I refused to do business with. Where are those "REPORTS" that say that I did not make payments? Please, show the source, or apologies for false accusation are in order.

I linked everything in my original post. Someone said you didn't fulfill your end of the deal...are you denying that they said that? I'm more than willing to update my post if there was something inaccurate. I've already edited it in response to your criticisms, to make the distinction between facts and supposition more apparent.

PS. I have deleted my posts from your thread because I learned that you have no capacity for intelligent discussion, and I do not want to give any credibility to your useless thread by participating in it.

We will have to just agree to disagree on this one. I am very responsive to constructive comments, and fairly tolerant of ad hominems, although I'd rather they didn't occur in the first place. But deleting all your posts especially after someone accuses you of scamming makes yourself look bad.

Do you deny that you keep your "purchase" thread locked? If it is not locked I'm more than happy to update my post.

Is there something specific that you want to refute?

[misterbigg]

...milly6 (who I declined to do business with) states that s/he "heard reports" that I have not paid someone! Where are these reports? Who is the accusing party? Where the hell did this come from?

These are very good questions. Milly, care to answer?

So wait, this dude got one scam accusation from somebody who provided absolutely no proof at all, and you, even though you had no involvement in the alleged scam, decided for some reason to create a scam accusation thread?

Why did you decide to get involved in this at all? Mind your own business and let the alleged victim create the scam accusation thread.

[misterbigg]

Mind your own business? Why did you decide to get involved in this at all?

Yep, the way things look right now it seems that I have no business. It's unfortunate you can't read any of Arvicco's replies to my post, because he deleted them.

Could you please move this thread to the scam accusation forum and update the title to the reflect the username of the accused. That is, if this wasn't a miscommunication.

[misterbigg]

Yes, indeed it seems that the only reason misterbigg started this thread is because he was so pissed at my replies to his posts.

I think finally we are coming to an agreement on things. Yes, I don't appreciate when you called it "my bullshit" because I was pointing out that the average of the bid and ask in the Ripple order book was different than the price you were offering for selling bitcoins. And then you covered the evidence by deleting all your posts.

So basically "he started it"   

[misterbigg]

You think it's really funny, don't you?

There is definitely a certain element of humor when one has to resort to the old schoolyard standby "he started it" but I believe that succinctly captures the essence of what's happening here. You got upset that I was informing the masses that your prices were below market. You replied to my thread with insults and claimed that my description of the real time data in the Ripple order book was "bullshit". I defended my methodologies, continued to provide estimates of the market rate of XRP, and then you deleted all your replies to hide the evidence. You also locked your purchase thread to keep people from finding out they are getting fleeced. Then you came here and raised the hue and cry.

I agree that putting your name in the threat title was heavy handed, especially when Milly never stepped up to substantiate the claims. Which is why I changed it. Then I locked it to let it just die because it seemed to be getting taken way too far to be productive in the forum, but then you complained again! I asked you if you wanted me to unlock it and you said yes, which I did.

Far from being unresponsive and ignoring criticisms I have been very attentive and fair. I stand by my actions and I do not feel the need to hide from them by deleting replies. I will continue to update the "XRP Price Tracker" using the methodology that I outlined.

Note that "alexkravets" replied in my thread with essentially the same concerns as you only instead of being insulting, calling me a bullshitter, and saying that I was intentionally misleading, he calmly expressed his frustration at how thin the Ripple order book was. In response I added a description of this situation to the thread so that readers could make a more informed decision.

Why couldn't you have done the same?

[misterbigg]

...people who lack even decency to apologize...

I apologize. Can we please lock this thread now since it only reflects poorly on both of us?
