For the record, I was never 'inactive' on Voat. Fred-Stiller was fully aware of this because we talked about Voat in private as recently as two weeks before Voat admins turned the verse over to him. As a matter of fact, we spoke frequently about Voat and politics while his subverse request was still pending, unbeknownst to me. The Voat admins received pressure for falling way behind on subverse requests and just went ahead and approved dozens of transfers without investigating activity at all. If they had, they would have seen that I was logging in every single day, voting regularly and had a regular PM history. They never sent any notification regarding a subverse request. Nothing like that happened. Instead, they were duped by Fred-Stiller's well-timed technicality which he used to steal this verse because he had a political disagreement with me which he were apparently incapable of verbalizing. Fred-Stiller could have just asked for the verse instead of turning into a snake and going behind my back. I would have gladly turned it over to him myself if it meant keeping our friendship intact, but that clearly didn't mean anything to him at all. I hope that commandeering a community that I helped foster since 50 subscribers brought him some level of satisfaction.

To Fred-Stiller's credit, he taught me a valuable lesson: If a total stranger befriends you out of nowhere, builds trust over nearly a year by helping to pinpoint all sorts of content and individuals that should removed from reddit, and even confides in you about their personal life across several hundred messages, then asks to help moderate... don't be surprised if that person you considered a good friend ends up stabbing you in the back and running away. Oh well, live and learn.

I stopped communicating with you in September, my request was made in October, granted in November.

You were inactive for over a month when I made my request and I provided links to show that - https://voat.co/v/subverserequest/comments/597334/2877736

So what I did was within the rules of Voat - https://voat.co/help/faq

The only activity that matters on Voat is that of posting comments or submissions, nothing else counts towards activity.

Instead, they were duped by Fred-Stiller's well-timed technicality which he used to steal this verse because he had a political disagreement with me which he were apparently incapable of verbalizing.

I didn't steal anything, you didn't own this subverse, it wasn't your property, you also didn't create it - https://voat.co/v/subverserequest/comments/16992

/v/bitcoin belongs to Voat.

Now it is also not only BashCo and me who supports you being two-faced and a turncoat. Someone else from Voat has called you Sleazy. And wow if that is not a fact.

I would refute that, but you conveniently deleted all traces of various social media accounts when you ran away. It doesn't really matter anyways. What matters is that you had Voat admins remove me on the premise that I was inactive (I was not, and you know that), purely because you had a political disagreement with me which you failed to communicate. It wasn't for anything I did or didn't do on Voat.

I didn't say I owned /v/bitcoin, or even created it. When I requested the verse, it was empty, and the creator was literally inactive. I even PM'd him to ask if I could help moderate before I made the request. I said you took advantage of a technicality in Voat's woefully inadequate subverse request policy. You could have PM'd me, DM'd me, emailed me, tweeted me, Surespot'd me... whatever. But you didn't. Instead you chose to sneak through a subreddit request purely for political reasons, and got lucky. Had the roles been reversed, I would have never done that to you. Why? Because I honestly considered you a good friend and I really enjoyed all our chats. I would never stab a friend in the back like you did to me. "Don't hate the player, hate the game" and all that... like I said before, trusting you was a valuable lesson.
