You have no clue what you are talking about. There was a thread that got deleted by Fiji when he was still a mod that I never even saw, but I assume it was started by Admo. We locked the next thread because it had turned into a discussion of legal minutiae and Canadian health care. At that time every one was like, OMG mods are covering up for Fiji, how can they lock that thread. Then someone (not a mod) started another thread almost immediately, which eventually got locked after there was no update and the thread turned into a few hundred off-topic posts about nothing. Then Admo started this thread. This thread was also locked after no updates lead to non-stop off-topic posts, and then was re-opened to update that Fiji paid his stakers back, then locked, then re-opened because there were complaints that it had been locked.

Mods did not start any of the threads, nor did they add Steven's name (though I think his name may have been removed at one point). None of the threads have ever been merged. Except for the thread deleted by Fiji, all of the threads are still in NVG. I have no idea what purpose keeping this thread open is serving anymore, so I'll lock it again until there is an update on Admo getting his expenses back, or until someone invovled in the situation asks for it to be re-opened. Also, if another mod wants to open, be my guest.

Words to live by on 2+2 right here.

Half of the posts in this thread never would have been posted if people had taken the time to read the thread and tried to understand what happened, hence my farcical reply to the "updates?" post a few up from this post.

Just for the record: I don't believe I have an axe to grind. I truly was trying to encourage Steve to come on here under his own account and communicate with the 2+2 community.
I honestly believed he could at least partly salvage his reputation if he was contrite and honest. Instead, he calls me a scumbag under a gimmick account and makes it seem like admo is the bad guy.
He also refuses to admit that the other people he scammed were not put out by this and were not 100% confident they would be paid back.

He had every opportunity to do the right thing. Paying back (what he has so far) is a big part of that of course. But his attitude is pretty lousy. I'm not out to get him. That's just how it is (imo of course).
If his attitude was better I would have no problem admitting that and would congratulate him for being a stand-up guy and apparently learning from his mistakes.

It should also be noted that I did not post any psych analysis of him. I merely posted for someone else who sent me a PM. That poster was merely copying the 9 things of the DSM-whatever-it-is. The only analysis in there was him saying that he thought all 9 applied to Steve.
As best I can tell, I think it might be correct but it's kind of hard to say.

Anyway, I think a lock of this one is fine. If admo has more news he can start a new thread. If Steve would like to post some more (and I still encourage him to do so because I think he can improve upon his last attempt) then he can do same.
If anyone else involved in this (JP-OSU or whoever else) would like to post more on this issue then they can do same.
