Uważam, że publikowanie skarg na innych ludzi na Facebooku i innych mediach społecznościowych jest trochę dziecinne i nie pomaga. Pamiętaj, że nie tylko Twoi znajomi mogą to przeczytać, ale także Twoi wrogowie. Publikowanie o wrogach lub gadanie o ludziach, których nie lubisz, pokazuje, jak bardzo są cipkami? Jeśli nie możesz powiedzieć komuś czegoś w twarz, dlaczego musisz publikować w mediach społecznościowych? Wygląda na to, że pan Halliday oczywiście próbuje przekonać innych do swojego punktu widzenia, aby pomóc mu w zastraszaniu ludzi. Napisał inne wściekłe posty o innych, takich jak PeteyM5 i Rensoup.
I wrote, above an unedited screenshot of our forum exchange:
"XXL is referring to my wife publicly thanking the community for their sympathy and support. There really is no depth too low."
Later, when XXL appeared to imply that my mentioning the vandalism of my house to the community was a money-making grift, I wrote:
"Apparently there were further depths after all (quoted post is by XXL, translated)."
What I'm presenting are some of the nastiest and most mean-spirited comments I've seen in quite some time. XXL referred to my wife, after she publicly thanked the Atari community for their TOTALLY UNSOLICITED donations and messages of support. Now, I'm not the most sentimental of people, and normally avoid gushing displays of emotion like the plague, but if someone wants to make shitty comments in response to this saga on a Polish forum (which he probably would not dare to post at AtariAge, lest he triggers the outright ban that's been hanging over his head for some months), in PUBLIC, I found it perfectly appropriate to advertise his obnoxious comments on social media, where many people will see it. Moreover, my remarks are presented in the context of his original posts, so people may judge for themselves.
I also remarked that a few people have jumped to XXL's defence, presumably because they know the guy personally and can thus see through the veil of shit he presents in forum posts. Perhaps XXL is as wonderful guy and is simply 'misunderstood', but please don't sit there and accuse me of 'bullying' when it was what I rightly referred to as XXL's 'cunty comments' which precipitated my efforts to advertise his warm heart on social media. I'm pretty sure followers of Atari8 can make up their own minds when confronted with verbatim copies of XXL's forum posts.
Of course, the fact that XXL is being shepherded into the 'victim status' pen is entirely predictable, despite the fact I made no personal attacks, did not mention his family, and shared no information that wasn't already visible to anyone with an Internet connection.
As for Rensoup and PeteyM5: you might choose better examples when hunting for other angelic victims of my bullying, since these do nothing to support your case. Peter J. Meyer (PeteyM5) maintained a plethora of sock-puppet accounts at AtariAge for years, and shilled his own products using these same accounts in order to generate publicity and rebut legitimate complaints from customers regarding bugs and poor product presentation. Once banned from AtariAge, Peter proceeded to create a host of further sock-puppet accounts on Facebook, of which Albert Yarusso, myself, and others have a collossal amount of material evidence. Why did this interest me at all? Because Peter used the sock accounts with frequency to send me and many others unsolicited and threatening missives on Facebook Messenger, evading account blocks I had already put in place. Peter continues to use his shill accounts to shit-talk AtariAge, myself, and other members of the community, and continues to spam and trick many members of the community into friending his fake accounts and signing up to his group page. Not to mention threatening Albert with legal action from time to time. All-round great guy, then.
Rensoup, meanwhile, stepped into one of my threads at AtariAge, didn't like the response he got, pompously announced his departure from the thread, and got upset when I expressed how pleased I was that he was leaving so that we could return to some kind of productive discussion. He found it difficult to keep his cool when he was surprised to learn that the bootloader he'd used didn't work with... um... certain devices. Since then, he appears to have missed no opportunity at all to level ad-hominem criticisms at me and appear genuinely hurt by my failure to be in awe of his historic greatness.
If we go back further in the history of 'people who had issues with Jonathan Halliday', we can mention multiple sock-puppet account holder 'Pteve' of 'Centron 3D' infamy, who arrived at AA some years ago announcing his terrible vapourware game, quickly became involved in arguments, responded to himself with his sock accounts, threatened forum admin by email once banned, and eventually - in Victoria, Australia - was prosecuted for attacking someone with a knife.
Who else? Ray Atergin, aka 'Atari8Warez', who - just before a well-earned ban from AtariAge - signed me up to a porn site following a disagreement, but did so using his own server machine because he was an idiot. Therefore the sign-up email I received had the IP address of his website in it. After being banned from the forum, he started his own forum and put an open-source project behind a paywall, before eventually losing interest entirely.
Perhaps the exploits of those characters betray 'childish behaviour'. I don't know. There are doubtless others I haven't mentioned here, and I'm sure they're all men of excellent character with great interpersonal skills who never provoked anyone in their lives.
