What happened to trigger the last post
4 years ago
This happened with a certain tiger in the inflatables community who runs a community. So I have a story to tell about that and I decided to come forward about it now.
Why? Because of what happened on my birthday last year. Lets roll back the clock shall we?
I was approached by someone around Feburary of last year how they saw my Merek fox and wanted to get one of their own. I politely told them that I had sold mine a long time ago (and hated myself for doing so and STILL do). They were like.. well can you ask M? They are the people who make it and these are the only people who I can get a fox from. I also tell them that I didn't really want to reach out.. but I said I would try and do so.
So I had an email exchange with M and it was professional as I wasn't about to rip this guy off. For those that don't know M he's an older person in the inflatables community, doesn't give a shit about anyone else and has designed toys that if they pop up on the market they go for a premium (like at least a grand).
At one point I was like ok well thanks and have a great day and that was the end of that. Right?
Wrong.
Posted to their group. Verbatim. T is the Tiger.
M- "Does anyone here know of possible plagiarist (my real name) He has indicated a desire to have Jets illegally copy G&G designs, and expressed gis fear of being sued for doing so. Is this name familiar to anyone, and if so, can you give me more information about him? Address, employment, or any other info to ID and target gim if needed?"
So to be clear. This asshole wants to doxx me because he thinks I might steal his designs. NOTED right now you can buy COPIES on Honygi and he doesn't give a fuck about that.. but it gets BETTER.
T - "As far as that real name goes, that would be Johnny Blanco (furry name) I cut ties with him years ago because he’s a douche bag. He started a bunch of drama and I had to step in to stop it. He got nasty and abusive with me when I asked him to stop what he was doing, he totally melted down, left the forum and I blocked him after he sent me several nasty emails."
This "drama" he alleged I created (which I didn't) was about people being upset about some posts on the forum. Was I pissed? Sure. Because I forgot to mention that T is the MODERATOR of this group. He stated that there were RL problems going on and he "couldn't be bothered" with the drama going on in the group. Then why are you a moderator? Honestly?
Oh it gets better.
M - "He seems he has faded away under heat. I did NOT give permission for Jets to make copies of the Fox. Hongyi will do it anyway, but with poor paint, so to be expected, as they copy everything else.
And interesting that it is that old name for him, but I already got a message from a friend that the person was a tosser. And another email from HIS friend begging me to NOT dox him. Guess he saw the weapons and ran."
1) I didn't fade away.. I saw the conversation was going nowhere and decided to drop it. 2) I got this threatening messages from my "friend" who relayed all this information to me and 3) this all happened on my birthday.
So I did some digging, found his facebook and with the pictures he posted to his facebook and some backtracking I had his address. Noted, I didn't do anything "illegal" I used google maps, pictures from his facebook and that was that.
Also , I failed to mention that doxxing is a federal fucking CRIME!
And the only thing I tried to do was help someone get a fox. That's it. I cut ties with that asshole who apologized profusely but the damage was already done.
I am STILL sore about this. What if some asshole decided to swat me and put me and my mate, roommates and dog in danger becuase of this bullshit?
This is the last thing I will say about this as I am getting too fucking heated. This is directly to T and M.
Leave me the fuck alone. And thanks for ruining my b-day last year. I am sure that one of your cronies will read this and spread it back to you and frankly I don't care.
Yeah.. I am glad I have today off. :/
