Probably an off-topic reply but still wanted to share it:
The reason I spoke about US taxes is because the topic started as an argument between two members and then shifted to IRS and taxes. I don't know the amount of taxes the member has to pay but it sounds like millions. Also, when one is aware that there are officials are corrupt and I am sure others know, why this discussion is even taking place? I can see that it's not because anyone is interested in whether the member paid taxes or not but it's hatred towards the particular member.
I guess most of the members here have not even met each other in real life and probably will never meet including the two members in question. Is this online hatred worth it?
I have been myself targetted many times by members and it was mostly the other member who started it first and they tried to instigate me, provoke me and things became worse. I also thought of taking things legal. After spending 4-5 years doing this and fighting with unknown people online, I noticed that their only intention was to provoke me and they succeeded in doing so. I wasted my hours of sleep over such a small thing and that too for a person I'll (hopefully) never come across. God forbid! It was not worth that I waste time on them who are online when I already have so many people in my hate list and I am in their hate list in real life. I have enough "real" problems to solve than to spend my time on an online member.
Both of you members are reputed in your own field and both are not scammers (AFAIK) so IMO there is point of fighting with a person you have never known nor you will know in your entire life. So why waste your breath fighting? Please calm down and ignore each other instead.
I have seen this happening many times in this forum where the fight starts with 2 members then a gang forms of who supports whom and people who don't even understand what the fight is about join in as per their preferences and combine with the member who is stronger. Finally it ends with red marks on both members and other members and after a month, everybody forgets about it. I guess the same is going to happen here. I don't know anyone over here but just wanted to share what I feel. Sorry if I hurt anyone's feelings but I did not mean to. Bye!
