Hello all,

It has been a while and I hope you are all well. I'm sure most of you are enjoying this bullish market and I feel very sorry for the bears.

Anyway as many of you know I was banned by Theymos for “trolling” but I have been unbanned. This is really me, my account has not been hacked and a rouge admin did not take over my account. I am making this thread to clear the air and to avoid doing so in my ASICMINER auction thread found here. https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/asicminer-auction-2000-sahres-144574

My sudden return has caused confusion among both friends and new forum members and I would like  to deal with it in the proper place.

Chaang Noi was banned by theymos for repeated off-topic trollings

PS: Scamming does not constitute a ban - only trolling/spamming does. *looks at smoothie  Roll Eyes*

I would like to admit that yes, I have trolled on this forum and odds are I will do it again but it was on topic. This forum is known for high levels of trolling and as many of you know I am not even close to the most prolific troll here. Just look at smoothie or the BFL threads.

I and many believe that while I have posted a troll post here or there I was targeted because of my views about Theymos and GLBSE.

Theymos is the admin here and Theymos might have genuinely thought I was trolling him but I would like to say that I stand by my opinions and I was not scared to voice them.

As many of you know Theymos asked publicly for people to list Pirate pass thoughs on GLBSE. People also know that Theymos is a GLBSE owner. Theymos also stated publicly that he thought Pirate was a ponzi but he failed to mention why. Theymos has admitted to reading Pirateat40's personal messages.

Theymos when he was trying to sell his GLBSE stock he claimed he did not know about the ongoing SEC investigation. Theymos labeled Neferio a scammer for “harming the GLBSE stock holders” and did so after Theymos lost a internal GLBSE vote on whether GLBSE should be shut down or not. Theymos then told people not to send back the extra BTC Nefario accidentally sent out to people even thought Theymos had labeled people who received coin by accident and not returned it as a scammer in the past. Theymos even though he is an owner has refused to take responsibility for the many 1000's of coins still not paid out. GLBSE was not a limited liability company and I expressed my view that Theymos as an owner could be sued. Theymos in my view was trying to pump up the value of GLBSE and then sell out but when it backfired he refused any responsibility.

My views on Theymos and GLBSE  are not radical and many hold them, however they are just not expressed often here. I might get banned again for expressing my opinion but that is the risk I take posting on a private forum. As John said I was not baned for scamming or anything like that and I do not have a scammers tag.

Anyway I am glad to be back and I hope that we can move on.

No hard feelings Theymos, I'm sure you thought you were always doing what you thought was right at the time.

p.s. I don't want this turning into a troll thread so I am going to lock it. Theymos however clearly should respond if he feels he wants to and since he is an admin he has that ability.
