But this KF account sits off with me. Comes off as untrustworthy and a trying-too-hard intellectual. No one here is a #MeToo believe all women loon. But there are spots in this would-be total exoneration that are pretty unbelievable to me, and I’m inclined to take Z more at her word. Why?
Any claims about Randomini having inappropriate contact with anyone via the internet or otherwise are fabricated.
lol what? This isnt kids making rules up on a playground here, doesn’t work like that. Are we supposed to just say “Oh! oh okay.” to this? As others have said, this isn’t proof or even evidence. It’s a nice timeline. Skype logs won’t prove all the claims here, like Randomini was frustrated that Z bought tickets to an event that she only got to see half of, apparently pissed off that she was going for him and not for the event. That’s a crazy reason to get mad at someone, comes off as fake as hell, and good for Randomini’s psychological profile, it’s probably false. That’s like how Eric Cartmen would cast his own actions in his side of a story.
The original post sanitizes Randomini in full. There is zero give regarding
any wrongdoing, ulterior or parallel motives, any alternative intentionality aside from angelic and
extraordinarily circumspect behavior. “Sure we can hang out together again and again and I know you revere me highly and maybe I have an idea of how you have interacted with other SCP authors but nooooo don’t hug me nooooo, love my interests and not meeeee” Uh huh. Recall the rule SCP had to put up to its elite; don’t leverage your reputation. A novel lesson to this bunch.
Randomini being totally oblivious to the manner in which other staff had been interacting with Z (Eskobar, Jade) in a community that is chatty with gossip to the core, I find hard to believe, assuming the dates work. If he knew about it, why put himself out there? To be a “true friend” or play the rescuer role? Uh huh. We know he was/is in a circle of some really repellant individuals, on a site that is saturated in a sex and hook-up culture. He enjoyed the clout of the inner circle and now he doesn’t enjoy the connotations, but that’s the price.
Also, yes this account is steaming with SCP autism. Like Psy said, the tone has the sort of pseudo-bureaucratic importance and LARPing that exists in the 05 threads (“per the Almighty policy”), the table formatting is pretty odd except in the context of familiarity with Wikidot code, it’s delivered with the same kind of pomp. Feels like an adolescent trying to play lawyer. The author of it asserts things only Randomini could possibly know (“Randomini has only interacted with two SCP fans in-person,” “Randomini had no knowledge of proven claims in this thread while they were occurring”); so if we take it seriously, we can only ultimately believe that it’s either Randomini himself or this person is discrediting themselves in their over-reaching to clear his name.
The account was made 12 hrs prior to the first post. Definitely an obtuse, very motivated interjection imo. Sticks out like a sore thumb.
“Exhaustive detail”? Informative yeah but it’s no more exhaustive than typing “refuted” or “refuted totally” is convincing. It’s very leftist-esque. Like the hilarious “detracting!” rhetorical stamp that’s thrown on an opponent’s successful counter-arguments that leftists just want to handwave. “Point by point rebuttal”? Don’t talk something up that it isn’t. Bad salesmanship and it works against anyone taking you seriously.
