Merit was not being "abused" here -- that's the mistake you are making.
So swamping merits back and forth between his alts can not be tagged as "abuse". If so, I will change the name of the thread.
Perhaps it was given away frivolously, but Vlad isn't a merit source, so who cares?
..and were being received back frivolously. Coincidence?
Wrong again, hater. It’s not what that means, it means I’m not a scammer looking for schemes like selling merit points. And these guys, Hornetsnest, and Market Magic, I don’t know who they are, but they must have said something that either made me laugh or impressed me in some way so I gave them my merits.
As for that bet - it is a big deal cause it was a hasty bet I made [and I don’t agree with gambling] about when the bitcoin was coming and it didn’t happen the year I expected so I lost. I didn’t know the guy Jake, or whatever his name was, he was just a random guy in a chat room and on a different continent and I had to borrow money at the time to pay him. I did a difficult thing, I paid the bet, cause it was the correct thing to do.
1. I am not a hater, but there are a lot of good posts all over the place that deserves to get merited. for example you gave 1 merit to
this post which you found excellent and Apocalypsis gets 12 merits for
3 words question. Why?
2. Let's say I believe you that you don't know Hornetsnest, and Market Magic. How about Apocalypsis and Apocalipsa? Are this your alts? Don't lie!
