Thanks for sharing your perspective, your view may be more correct than mine, there's no real way I know to be certain which of us is more correct in this case.

The more you all talk about him and point at him the more fun he is going to have talking and pointing at you, and him and his buddies have a blast with this as well. I found this entire saga pretty amusing for the last 3 or 4 months.

I don't really care if he and his buddies are having fun or not. It's pretty much a non-issue for me.

Also, from my perspective, there's no "you all" here. While several people have tried to indicate some kind of coordinated group action by me and others, I downvoted the original post independently, for reasons previously given and I've seen no reason to change my opinion on that. I rarely bother to downvote, but occasionally I see something that rises to that threshold for me.

time has value and depending on how sucked into things we get it can be a drain.

I'm well aware of this, and I rarely waste much time responding to simple trolling (and you'll notice that all my responses to lucylin have been about 10x or more shorter than his longwinded comments). In a few cases, I decide that what's going on is in some way worse, in which case I may devote a little more time to the issue.

In this case, I see someone who appears to be quite happy making deceptive statements as part of an attempt to elicit financial gain from upvotes. He's far from the only person on this platform that does this and I don't usually waste my time trying to identify them.

This would have ended a long time ago at the downvote in the normal case. But in this case several people questioned my downvote and made erroneous claims about it, so I decided I could spend a little time to set the record straight.
