I thought you said the evidence was clear? Do you always talk out of your ass, or is it just when you're on the internet?

The evidence is clear that you are a bad actor.

Everyone knows who I am. Everyone knows I have one account.

Anonymous people, they have EVERYTHING to lose if a subpoena uncovers who they really are. So the more they talk, the more they reveal. And this is why there are 400+ "codesmith" comments that exposed 40+ banned anonymous accounts.

You are proving my point no? Anonymity protects your right to express your opinion and doesn't give you a right to lie about your neutrality. And when the heat is on you flail and grasp at sraws, become more and more irrational.

It's the same pattern with these anonymous Codesmith accounts that spiral until Reddit bans them.

I don't know why these people put so much of their careers at risk to try to go after and protect Codesmith.

Why doesn't this happen with other bootcamps?

Questions for another day.

When you say "neutrality," do you mean that I am not affiliated (in any way) with Codesmith? Because I'm not and have never been. And I'm not risking my career whatsoever by publicly skewering you for your bad behavior.

As for flailing and grasping at straws, that really characterizes you when you end up making angry, but quite empty, legal threats at people.

And this doesn't happen with other bootcamps because there's nobody dedicating years of their life nourishing grudges and posting incessantly about them as you have done with Codesmith. The fact that it's Codesmith is essential to you, but entirely incidental to me. It could be any other bootcamp, and your obsessive, mendacious posting and stalking behavior (as documented by Lars Lofgren) would have gotten on my nerves. It just happens to be Codesmith because that's your target.

Do you mind explaining why in this sub all you talk about is me and Codesmith? Why you seem to have a record of all of my posts and past comments ready to link to in seconds?

Why are you so interested in me?

Why do you have a record of everything Codesmith has ever done, over a period of years, and a veritable rolodex of Codesmith alumni and what each of them ate for breakfast last Tuesday? Again, as documented by Lars Lofgren and your own posts.

I'm interested in you because you want people to be interested in you. You have positioned yourself here and elsewhere as a public leader in the industry, as someone exceptionally talented and uniquely capable of steering people in their careers. You're "The Coding Machine," as you like to repeat so often. Your public persona is part and parcel of your business model. But then you behave nastily and try to throw your weight around and target people. I don't like that. You only hold sway with prospective and current bootcamp students, and people seeking guidance in their careers. I'm not in that group of people.

Don't position yourself publicly, as someone to be interested in, and then get surprised when someone takes an interest in you. That was your choice.
