First of all, I absolutely do not condone someone telling someone else that they "should kill himself"
Agreed. Lutpin, despite what I may or may not think of you and your behavior, suggesting you kill yourself, even if being sarcastic, was not appropriate and I am sorry I made the comment. If you killed yourself as a result of my statement, I would certainly lose sleep over it and feel a great deal of guilt. While I tend to think people are a little too sensitive these days, my own beliefs don't excuse me from perceived threats and I'm sorry that you thought I was threatening you, I wasn't. Rather than asking you to provide IP evidence it was me who made the comment, I've taken responsibility for my actions and apologized. I should not have said that you should kill yourself. I did, and I am sorry.
I was deeply shocked when reading the chatlog of that evening after coming home and I still am. I don't see a reason why anyone would post something like this, ever.
However, I also did not expect you to apologize for this, but you did. I stand corrected, and even if this might just be the public pressure, I appreciate the apology.
Maybe this can be a first step.
And no releasing anyone's DOX please, things don't need to go so far
At no point did I ever threaten to DOX Lutpin. I would also dispute his claim that he tried to do anything to de-escalate the situation as I have gotten no communication from him outside of telling me to remove the signature and join Lauda's signature advertising group. In fact, we haven't had any interaction at all for several days until I saw him create this thread and leave me negative trust today.
After my PMs about your signature, the short private conversation we had over at slack (the one in OP) and the next time we talked about this (aswell in slack, bg4 was there to watch), every time I tried getting this situation solved myself, directly, had the exact opposite effect, things got worse from my perspective after each and every attempt.
To me, this was clearly the sign that I couldn't do it on my own, so I stopped bothering.
As I had immediately contacted Mitchell, who redirected this to theymos not shortly after, I was putting all my hope in theymos getting a hand on the situation.
After all, theymos has more information than we all together, they could bring forward IP evidence and further indications, which all point towards me not having to do anything with the accounts you accuse me of controlling.
When this had however (from my perspective, from what I could see) failed and you kept going after me, PMing my business and private contacts on this forum in a try to remove me from any position I currently hold, I saw no other option than posting this thread. I did feel and I still do feel backed against a corner.

There are threads for posting stuff like that on this forum, this is none of them.
Please keep your posts where they belong, your actions have caused me enough trouble as it is.
@ Luptin grow a pair
This comment is highly inappropriate, but you know that yourself.

It seems like you've missed the point of this thread.
Seconded. Please go and read what this thread is about before making comments that are on the edge of being off-topic.
The fact that Lutpin was told something very inappropriate does not absolve him from the kind of business practices he is alleged to have engaged in doing. I have long been suspicious of Lutpin, have looked into him, but have never come across an accusation of this kind of business activity -- this is not to say that these allegations are untrue, or unfounded.
I don't know where they come from, but I'm well aware of your
suspicions towards me. I had them in mind when consulting you about this situation earlier.
I fear neither you, nor anyone else, "looking into me", as there is nothing to find, regardless how deep you might be digging. Everyone, feel free to search yourself.
Honesty and transparency have always been key points to me when acting on this forum (that is the truth, you might believe it or not, that's up to you to decide).

It has to stop, right now and right here.
Not taking anyone's side in this but i have been seeing the situation regarding the 2 members in question unfolding for weeks now and can say it is only getting worse for both parties, let's put a stop to any harassment or accusations now.
There's nothing I want more right now, OgNasty, what do I have to do to put an end to this once and for all?
I want to get this situation over with, tell me how I can achieve this.
