Ashraf started so I'm going to finish.
Maybe I can fill in a few of the holes.
This deal started last year in the LC section.
RRR and I had no issues at the time.
Once in a while he'd PM me and ask me to move a thread that someone had misplaced and I was happy to help.
Then it started to look like he was VERY strongly pushing XXXXXXXXXXX Computers as a place to buy from but again, no issue at first, but it went on and on and on.
I finally said to him what I was seeing and if that wasn't the case maybe he should back off a little and he did, for a short time.
Then I got wind of a scheme that he was trying to get others into. To promote said company's products on the forum in return for parts,etc.
Then I was sent a word doc that he'd sent to one of the members about this with the plan to call the company Newco with him as CEO and others named as partners and CFO. The others were two companies that both have accounts here. I read this as shilling.
A paid tout whose "job" is to promote companies for profit and then he was banned.
Now he will deny this but I swear to you on my daughters souls that this is God's truth and ask yourself one question:
Why would I lie about this? What gain is there for me here?
The answer is I am not and there is no gain for me at all.
Now over the months he's recruited a few people who get a kick out of the fact that there are no swear filters there and a few that were banned from Xs from their actions so they came to him prepped to hate XS because of the bans.
But that wasn't enough for Joel.
We'd slowed his plans and the hate grew and grew.
His site became full of disgusting anti Xs threads.
It looked like he was spending many hours a day reading Xs just looking for someone to make an uninformed comment so he could tear them apart on his site.
Then apparently that wasn't enough for him.
one of his minions, Worthy, came here a few days ago and posted a disgusting pic of two men in a homosexual act and chopped Fuggers face onto one of them.
It was immediadely deleted and Worthy was banned.
last night at 2am I spent over three hours reading posts at that site and based on those hate posts and with Fuggers approval I banned app 30 members here.
It's escalated since then including at least two more images posted today.
Some think we should just ignore them and they will go away but I disagree. When you have someone like Joel that is this consumed by hate you don't ignore it, you cut it out like the cancer it is.
Now the bottom line is joel and his buddies crossed many legal lines today including enticing others to perform a DDOS attack on XS and I have the screenshots to prove it.
They say don't get mad get even and thats exactly what I plan to do. To get him removed from the net and brought before both criminal and civil courts for his actions.
Lets see if he's still laughing when all of this plays out.
You folks asked and there is the God's truth of why this is taking place.
Thanks for reading.
