Wow, this is a total cluster fck... I thought this was just some silly mod misusing their power to flex their muscles... but the story has a huge

history, and I never even noticed this. You guys need to sit down and talk about this "face2face" ..... washing the dirty dishes in public, will just

feed the anger and animosity. It's a pity that these things spiral out of control like this... a good heart to heart talk, often resolves most of the

issues. Good luck guys... this is getting nasty.  Sad

Of course, didn't you expect that? I did because he's an "honor" kind of person. Even if he never wanted to visit Reddit again he was never going to stop until his name was cleared.

It was clear that he would get unbanned, it is nonsense that he got banned because he posted gavins gmail address which everyone knows what email is and everything he posted is public, but from now on I would always avoid posting any emails since the rules are nonsense, we can't afford people gmax getting banned because we need people that know how bitcoin works to continue posting on public forums.

Xio is insisting that the ban was due to /u/nullc's 'doxing' of Cypherdoc (aka Marc Lowe).

Quote
This has nothing to do with Gavin and you know it. Stop perpetuating that lie. It's about the doxing of the defendant in the Hashfast case.
Quote
The reality and truth of the matter is that it had nothing to do with Gavin's email, which Greg knows about.

It's all a bit pathetic, but I was interested in Xio's
Quote
nullc clearly was doxing a person that isn't a public persona

'Public persona' is a non sequitur here, the applicable phrase is simply a "public figure".
Reddit says posting rules can be different for a public figure

Quote
Is posting someone's private or personal information okay?
No. Reddit is quite open and pro-free speech, but it is not okay to post someone's personal information, or post links to personal information....Public figures can be an exception to this rule...

Define Public Figure?
There's two "degrees" of such status, regular and limited purpose.
Quote
A limited purpose public figure is someone who is not so famous as to be a household name, but who has become well known with regard to a particular issue.

"A particular issue"?
Like a court case dealing with the legal definition of whether Bitcoins are a commodity or currency, where the two identities of the main character are publicly linked in court documents and on thousands of web pages?

Then Xio is being untruthful. (also-- what Doxing? I removed any mention of his name once I found out it even might be against Reddit policy, even though I wasn't linking it to any other account!)

Would like to gmaxwell's statement regarding this incident...

He is a vulgar fucking control freak and needed to be banned.  I hope it is forever.

Hey, since I, too, am sometimes a vulgar fucker, albeit not yet versed as a control freak, does that equate to you hoping that I need to be banned for half of forever?  Tongue

Not anymore.  This time it's permanent (hopefully quasi-permanent, like Roger Ver's suspension).

https://www.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/comments/5vuko7/whats_nullc_done_to_get_suspended_this_time/

We tried to avoid this outcome.

We pleaded for GMAX to stop getting involved with petty, vindictive subreddit drama.

We explained he is too valuable (and Reddit rules too arbitrary) to let himself be goaded into any further unwise ad hom ax-grinding.

from now on I would always avoid posting any emails since the rules are nonsense, we can't afford people gmax getting banned because we need people that know how bitcoin works to continue posting on public forums.

We need you on Reddit fighting the good fight.  It's ridiculous you're handing the r/btc turds ammo.

We were both HF customers but at some point our POVs diverged.  Everything I predicted came true.  Nothing you predicted came to pass.

It's not scientific to reject results because they dispute your preconceived ideas.  Two separate court cases now indicate your anti-Hashfast ideas may require recalibration.

That's why risking your Reddit account/reputation just to die on the Frap.doc-owes-me-a-windfall-so-he's-a-public-figure hill of error propagation is so disappointing.

As I already explained, "Cypherdoc values his personal privacy/security and never intended for his handle to be connected to his True Name."  So please stop making him the white whale for your Captain Ahab.

He didn't listen.  For the sake of yet another one of his personal grudges, he doxed a troll and reaped the banhammer.

The Gavinistas found his weakness ("vulgar control freak" aka 'can't admit to being wrong and change his mind') and used it as a crowbar to pry him off Reddit.


They played GMAX like a violin.  Credit where credit is due.   Embarrassed

In any case, I responded promptly to reddit's admins, explained the history and my desire to not violate any rules there (even if they're silly).   If they don't want to have me posting there, thats a loss for their users-- and ultimately them.  The problem will still remain that rbtc will continue to encourage and promote untrue attack posts like the one I was responding to above-- and without the ability to counter untruthful speech with more speech, I'm not sure of what will happen there. Cheers.
How untrue is this speech? Your activities have just been exposed:
