GET HIM DEREK

Calling people names, telling them you don't like them etc, are all protected speech. Communicating threats, sustained communications designed to harass and bully, are a crime. It's actually a criminal offense; aside from the civil liabilities.

Well, Trevor Noblitt (aka Dolvak) has already stepped in it. I was going to keep it a surprise for him and Wulf Knight (aka Accelewraith) but now that they know, they should be sweating for a few days waiting for that day when a service processor shows up.

Here are the bullshit reasons him and his friends used to have my /r/thedereksmart/ Reddit account shadowbanned. It is yet another example of the hypocrisy and double-standards. Especially when you can clearly see that /r/DerekSmart is nothing but a platform brigading and attacking me.

I've said this once, and I'm saying it again:

quote:

I don't know who you are, and I don't care what you want.
If you stop the cyberbullying & harassment, that will be the end of it.
But if you don't, I have attorneys and researchers who possess a particular set of skills.
Skills which are designed to hold you accountable for what you do and which are designed to completely drain your bank account & liability insurance - if any.
So, if you don't stop, I will find you. And I will serve you.

And if you're part of the Star Citizen White Knight community who have been engaged in a pattern of ILLEGAL conduct designed to harass, bully and threaten people, there is a 100% chance that I WILL follow through with criminal and legal action because nothing will give me more pleasure than to stick all of you in the legal system in my quest for accountability. And ANY such legal action, WILL include Chris Roberts who has seemingly been cultivating this toxic community as per his own defamatory speech directed specifically at me.

The good thing about all this is that NONE of them can cry foul, say they weren't warned or that they were just "kidding" around.

quote:

Defendants may think that they can defend themselves by arguing that their threats were hollow and that they did not intend to carry them out. It is generally not a defense that the defendant did not actually intend to follow through with a threat.

And many years from now, when people, companies etc do a background check on them for anything ranging from employment, college, loans, insurance etc and all this crap pops up, they will realize that one can't go through life being an rear end-hat and not expect there to be consequences.

Rather than staying focused on the vaporware scam that is Star Citizen, they instead declared war on me because I'm the one who seemingly called everyone to action.

Fine. So now we're at war.

You've expressed an almost kind of sympathy for Ben often in the past Beer. Actually, for many RSI staffers. Has your experiences in the past few months embittered you at all?

If so, what was the "final straw" for you, as it were? The forum ban?

If I'm not mistaken, he named that moment pretty clearly a bit back - when James Pugh was fired by Sandi was when he realized they really don't care at all about their community.

It's funny, because personally I remember always giving CIG's community team the benefit of the doubt in the past too, but when a year ago Ras and her friend got harassed and then further banned from a RL event, for speaking up about how lovely DickWulf getting away with it is well...it's pretty interesting how one's opinion changes, once you see good people that you consider on a friendly basis, being abused by what you realize are nothing more than manchild cultists and harassers.

Yeah. And they really do believe that I'm going to waste time sending them a "mean" C&D. Just watch.

Wulf Knight has been posting poo poo like this (1*, 2** - no, that's not doxing at all. nope) on Twitter and Reddit for weeks now.

And we have all of it. Even me being a public figure, all they've done is made proving malicious intent that much easier. Even though cyberbullying and harassment have no such requirements.

By the time I'm done with these clowns, they're all going to be asking RSI/CIG for refunds to fund their legal defense.

* now they actually believe that my wife (who has two locations in FL) and I share offices (I have one in FL, one in AZ and one in UK) because they linked our home (we have three) addresses. No that's not doxing. At all.

I wonder if we ever get to see the books if CIG is paying them off in some way, probably with free ships for all the positive coverage. They seem to be pretty tight with CIG.

We know Wulf got a scythe or two from CIG and it's easy enough to sell those.

Correct me if I'm wrong Dr. Smart, but since you're a noted public figure, isn't the burden of proof to substantiate defamation of character on your end pretty high? I'm not an expert in that field of law but since you reside squarely in the public realm won't many courts just be like "Well, you're a public figure, expect some blowback?" or something to that effect?

I don't know your entire legal history but have your suits that lie within this realm met with some success in the past?

(Perhaps your end goal is to make people who conduct this sort of defamation activity be given pause, or to just stop it for fear of legal recourse, I'm not sure).

I suppose a follow up question would be: In a perfect endgame scenario in this suit, what is it you hope to accomplish? And could Croberts really be held responsible as an "accomplice" as it were?

Your question is answered in the post you excerpted :)

Defamation against a public figure has a high standard. When malicious intent is established, that standard gets lowered. There are lots of resources online, but the EFF has a really good one.

Cyberbullying and Cyberharassing are totally different from defamation.

I pay very expensive attorneys to figure this out.

They are. I also edited my post to include a link to defamation of a public figure. My original post also included a link to a legal site that explains cyberstalking and cyberbullying. And what Trevor Nobitts, Wulf Knight et al have been doing, all over defamation, Cyberbullying and Cyberharassing. All we're doing is singling out the most prominent rear end-clowns and using them to set an example. Also ties them directly to RSI/CIG.

To be clear. There won't be ANY pointless time-wasting C&D letters to anyone. And I only let Keith Elwood (aka ilovecreamsoda) off the hook because of how he approached me, apologized etc. If I ever catch him doing this poo poo under an alias, we're going to be at it again.

These people simply don't understand just how badly their actions are hurting the very game and community they are a part of.

And in the case of Wulf Knight, we're going to subpoena RSI/CIG for those forum communications of him communicating inappropriately and sending dick pics to a female (we have her already and she and her husband will get justice) RSI/CIG forum member and which was seemingly covered up with no action taken because Wulf Knight happened to be a major backer of the project. And since him and his wife live in a community property State, by default she gets named in the suit as well and then she will become aware of what he's done and doing.

Just FYI, back when I talked with her (and recently too) from what I gather, she and her husband just wanted to forget this whole mess and move the gently caress on from these manchildren. But, if they're both okay with going down this route, then by all means...let the festivities commence and the DickWulves of this world get rekt.
