It is very long, but well worth the listen.
ReplyDeleteHey Nic, is that a real pic of you? because I’m pretty sure I saw that image used for a sexual dysfunction doctor in a blue chew ad.
DeleteHey Anonymous, I'm glad my ad got your attention. Did the blue chew work for you, or did you need surgery to get a manual pump installed?
DeleteThanks for putting this up, Jeff. The new and important thing about this video is that the major witness in the case--Michelle--who spent more time with us together than anyone else, agreed to speak out on camera.
ReplyDeleteYou should look up what constitutes a witness lol
DeleteAll the lawyers and judges involved agree she's a witness, anonymous stereotypical troll account If you believe she isn't, you should send them a signed affidavit explaining what you know that they don't. It will help the other side.
DeleteThank you so much - This is greatly appreciated.
ReplyDeleteIt's long but it's worth listening to. Thanks for putting it up.
ReplyDeleteLol still trying to get back in the graces of a tiny hobby that junked you as much for your personality as for your abuse of women
ReplyDeleteNice insult - Here are some parts you seem to have missed:
DeleteThis is not Zak's blog.
The interview was not Zak's Idea.
He is not trying to get back in the graces of anybody, especially as pretty much everyone were traitorous, he is trying to clear his name.
Zak did not abuse women: if you have proof that he did - Please convey it.
The last two posts on what was once a great rpg blog are about a fascist transphobe (Venger) and what ever kind of goon ZS is. Gaming blogs truly are over.
ReplyDeleteR.I.P
No, the post is about Venger buying a Encounter Critical, one of the systems Jeff has spoken about, and praised - So it completely reasonable that Jeff would care - it is something he has talked about in other blogposts before.
DeleteZak is not a goon - most of the worst harassers of Zak are goons.
I'm not a fascist transphobe... though, I am a moderate "middle America" conservative who's steadfastly against transing the kids!
DeleteAdditionally, I'll have more Encounter Critical news in a couple weeks, after VENGER CON.
Venger, if you had Jeff Rients and/or Zak Smith running games at VengerCon that would be the epic OSR event of the year!
DeleteI thought this had to be some sort of sarcastic joke: over 3 hours ("and twenty seconds" ! lol) of chatter about this dead as dead can be story?! But, nope, this is real. No candid camera here, folks. Mind blown. The pathetic, creepy self-pity and vindictiveness are through the roof. How many years has it been already? Are your lives so empty and static? Damn ... I mean, lol.
ReplyDeleteYes, people's lives are so empty and static that for years they continue to try to ruin Zak's life and livelihood by cancelling him with unproven accusations, which as you said, is creepy and pathetic. For those who care about facts and witness statements, this is just more proof of Zak's innocence.
DeleteAnonymous troll whose life is empty and joyless and who tries to get his jollies by harassing Zak claims that other people's lives are "so empty and static". Completely normal.
DeleteYes: Nearly four hours of question and answer - to address allegations and provide information to back claims.
DeleteHow would that be sarcastic?
This story is far from dead - Legal cases are just slow - and people are too fast to judge.
Yes: it is real - and it is not pathetic, creepy, self pitying, or vindictive to desire one's position and evidence to be known - especially when people cancel you on because of allegations, all your witnesses are dismissed as sockpuppets - and people completely ignore your witnesses, many of whom are women of color, trans people, and sex workers - because it is convenient to say believe women, and then disregard women who do not agree with what people want to believe.
This is not just his story, it is a direct witness talking and confirming and adding information - this is the first time she has spoken out and given other evidence.
3+ years is a long to time to have your name ruined on false allegations - nothing is going to stop until the people responsible are counteracted.
This is hilarious, Benji.
DeleteWhich part?
DeleteWhy?
Also, I would prefer Ben, though I guess names don't matter to anonymous trolls.
Not much here other that Benjie and the boner pill doctor. Where’s the other half dozen simps?
ReplyDeleteThree insults does not form a coherent point.
DeleteYou are wasting time because your only goal is to troll, misinform, or lie.
