I appreciate your apology and I accept it
Like you stated, I have moved on on this whole thing years ago.
Thank you, I appreciate that.
Although minifrij wasn't directly involved with the whole case, he was pretty active on the side of the case. Instead of actively making subjective claims and accusations, he used information he gathered to come to his own conclusion, while still being very communicative with the ones who were directly involved. Hence the simultaneous actions being taken along with TMAN and Lauda within this forum (thread locking, ...). However, I cannot say for sure if he was assisting the others in their extortion attempt or not, but I can recall that while he tried to be as neutral as possible, his messages on slack were rather supportive to the "extortion ring" (might be because of peer pressure).
I must admit that I made judgement too quickly in your case (mostly because of being swept up in all the commotion). I can do nothing but apologize for this, and due to it I've not gone into the 'scam-hunter' area since.
Although he never accused me directly, he did publish a thread in indirect efforts to ban my account with the reasoning of ban evasion, before locking it again after we tried to settle the case privately instead of making wild accusations throughout the forum... He reopened a thread requesting for me to be banned after I told him that theymos has cleared me of previous rule-breakings, just to have an official proof posted publicly.
And, I still stand by making this thread as I did at the time (hence it being reopened once the whole thing had settled down, until there was a confirmation by a staff member). I hope that you know that it wasn't personal, and in the same situation - at the same time - I would've made the thread about anyone that openly admitted to such.
So, we now have the following people saying that I'm not guilty (if we take the 'innocent until proven guilty' route):
1. The person that was extorted:
However, I cannot say for sure if he was assisting the others in their extortion attempt or not
2. The extortionist:
The thread, especially the OP, contains highly incorrect information (e.g. minifrij) about the incident.
3: A neutral third party:
#3 I left no rating to minifrij because the connection is not strong enough for it. The timing is odd and Im wary, but its not enough for a rating IMHO.
And yet I am still painted as such. You can bitch about how I revoked my apology after you blatantly disrespected me multiple times, Og, but the rating by you on my profile is a lie and there is no solid proof to support it. The same cannot be said about mine on yours.
Edit - Just to give some proof of how my rating is accurate:
Ya, the crazy thing is that minifrij apologizes, and then continues his attacks if you don't obey his commands... Do you know how many times he's pretended to apologize, removed feedback, and then replaced it with nonsense ratings like the most recent here:
Once. I sent you an apology once, for using personal insults when talking to you. I've never said that I take back any of the distrust, or actions I've taken towards you. You then continued to call me a scammer and a criminal, which is nothing but unwarranted lies, and so I revoked it.
"
Do you know how many times he's pretended to apologize..." seems to imply that is more than once - twisted words to make me look bad.
but yet it's my trust rating that is marked negative as he replaces his feedback regularly to give it more visibility.
I replaced my neutral feedback - which had no effect on your trust score - twice. The negative currently on your profile is the first one that I have ever left you, and will stay there.
"
he replaces his feedback regularly to give it more visibility" seems to imply that I am abusing the trust system by replacing a negative feedback - twisted words to make me look bad.
And yet again, you are trying to call on theymos to overrule a decentralized system because
you personally dislike the result of it. Get over yourself, you're not special.
