I'm going to make this reply, and then I'm going to bow out of this thread for good so as not to contribute to its continued existence.
I’m not sure about how collectible OG or BAC are, but theymos and this forum surely are.. I’m sure you noticed him also named here..
Vod, as far as I can remember (and I could be wrong; if I am, please correct me) never said he had any incriminating evidence of tax evasion/fraud, scamming, or what have you against Theymos or BAC. The only thing I remember clearly is that he did say he was compiling evidence of OgNasty's alleged crimes and would present said evidence. He never did.
Vod isn't going to win any lawsuit against any of the above individuals with respect to contributing to, or causing directly, his stroke. That just isn't going to happen. And I seriously doubt that Vod is even going to go as far as trying to get a case like that into the court system. Hopefully Vod isn't too far gone to realize that there's no way in hell he could prove that anything anyone has written on an internet forum, in a PM, or whatever, led to him having a stroke. I'm pretty sure that would set a legal precedent.
You wish him luck?
Against OgNasty, yes,
IF he's really got evidence of criminal activity. Again, I don't recall Vod ever stating he had any dirt on BAC or Theymos, nor do I think he actually does. Are you seriously going to criticize me for wanting someone exposed for being a criminal if there's evidence to that effect? Get your head straight, my man. Having said that, I don't think Vod really has anything on OgNasty, else he wouldn't have been just making all of those threats before he left the forum and wouldn't be PM'ing similar threats now. I already said I don't support Vod's PM, in case you missed it:
If he's got no evidence, then hopefully he won't go through with any legal action against you. Fair is fair.
As I said, I don't support that PM.
If theymos can somehow be found liable by some corrupt government in being implicit with the cause of Vods stroke, good luck for taking him (and satoshis forum) for all their worth!!
Aren’t governments just awesome!!
Wow, that's some conclusion you've jumped to. Dude, the forum is not in jeopardy. I don't like the justice system any more than you do, but it's what we all have to work with whether we like it or not. I'm fairly sure if someone committed a crime against your person or property or against someone you care about, you'd have no problem whatsoever using that system to bring the perpetrator(s) to justice.
I'm also fairly sure that the justice system realizes that strokes aren't caused by words on the internet (and I'd hope Vod's lawyer wouldn't waste his/her time on a case like that). But that's not even what I was referring to anyway. I'm not going to repeat it; read the above where I talked about OgNasty, prosecution, and
only if there's solid evidence of a scam (tax evasion in the US is none of Vod's business anyway).
Edit:
Sorry to say, but you are totally off the line here thinking that VOD is not at all wrong in sending all those PMs and threat's and in the contrary, OG is a bad actor for not ignoring what's coming at him.
Did you even read my posts above in their entirety? Or at least the parts where I said I don't support Vod's PMs, meaning I think he was in the wrong in sending them? By the way, I've never had a problem with you and still don't. You can like OgNasty if you want to, and I can dislike him if I want. I'm in no way bullying OgNasty, believe me. Obviously you either didn't read what I wrote, didn't understand it, or chose to read into it what you wanted to.
