They tried taking the site down exactly like was done to AR15, de-platforming us. They made up a story, we were a hate site and used cropped screenshots which I have to justify their claims. Just because I won't post the screenshots doesn't mean it doesn't exist but when they claim every word is a lie, why bother.
They are being dishonest when they say they don't know what happened or who to report it to, they reported us to the Server people trying to get us Deplatformed, they looked up the host and contacted them.
Then on Twitter, they were talking about it, they were asking where the threads were to go see... They were talking about it to each other and then they denied it all, after talking about coordinating the attacks on me via Signal (app) How would know there is a Signal Account ? Because they said it.
They are saying, "Who would we even report you too", well ask yourself this, if you wanted to Deplatform SH who would you contact, the hosts ... that is who. I have the email I have the screenshots they used, I have the information that was supplied to our server people as "Proof" ... They know exactly what they did and are just playing ignorant for effect
Just like the Stolen Valor dogpile they are doing on me, I refused to give them anything else, I already answered a bunch of crap on Friday and they spun and twisted every word. They know I am real, they know I am not lying, but yet go look at my feed. Every word is now a lie even people who have taken my class are there.
What is worse, calling someone (An Admitted Troll Poster) "Not Manly" which was reported, or lying about my service to try and claim I engaged in Stolen Valor ? They know Gun Digest published my book and would not publish a liar. They know the site has been around for 20+ years, THEY ARE BRAGGING ABOUT AN FOIA they did on me... They specifically lied and made up stuff (filled in the blanks) about my service to justify their actions. They specifically talked about taking us offline. That doesn't sound like we are on the same side of this rights debate.
Information / Education is the goal, but let's take a gun site off the internet and pretend we don't know what we did. They were going back to try and paint the place as antisemitic too but the post was removed. What they claim we are OKAY WITH that they reported, was Nothing, it was completely twisted.
It's right out of the Democratic playbook to deny everything, but yet here we are... I think we would get along but a big cross-section of them refuses to see anything but blood, they continue to attack me, which I get I instigated to the point we are at, but that is a completely different discussion. A few of them saw the writing on the wall and started to backpedal saying they didn't attack my service directly, but come on.
I had no intentions of banning anyone UNTIL they reported the site in an attempt to deplatform me. They know who did it, I have a name, however, it used ProtonMail and was clearly a Fake Name ... but I have it, and the fact I won't give them screenshots they get to deny it, why would I provide more ammo, they made up the first strike, they will just make up more.
I am sure they have people within the group who would fit right in, but honestly, I think it's past the point of no return which is sad, big tent will have to be cut in 1/2, instead of working together
