And then there’s this: you waited until Father’s Day to post your tirade against me. I had informed the forum that my father had died earlier this year and now I can’t help but feel you timed it deliberately for maximum damage. If so, that is beyond cruel.
What a malicious allegation! I had no idea that Sunday was Father’s Day in Australia. Here in Germany, Vatertag is celebrated on Ascension Day instead, which in most years falls in May, and is mainly about groups of men going for a nature hike, towing a handcart filled with their beverages of choice. And no one here on TSE mentioned anything about Father’s Day either, so no, I didn't know about it - why would I?
Instead, my post happened to be one of about 20 (!) posts over the weekend concerned with the use of ChatGPT on this forum. This series of posts was kicked off by
@TheDrooben on Friday night, and I eventually added my own two cents on Sunday, after you had already argued back and forth with him and
@CHIPS all weekend.
You also claimed I had posted a "tirade", which is defined as “a long, angry speech expressing strong disapproval”. That does not describe my post at all, which was neither long nor angry.
Your completely off the mark-dot joining in suspecting that I must have “timed it deliberately for maximum damage” got you lots of sympathetic likes and hearts from others, some of whom then attacked me like a pack of wolves, insulting and belittling me, all while accusing
me of being a bully. Oh, the irony!
Your and their reactions were IMO totally disproportionate compared to my post disproving your claim that you were always going to fact-check the main posts of your ChatGPT responses before sharing or my bewilderment to learn that "about 7" apparently equals "about 50".
Unlike you I have never upheld myself to be infallible.
That’s a lie - I never said I were perfect or knew everything. On the contrary. I've made it clear countless times I don't have a tech background, I've asked others for their input, I said I could be wrong, I advised everyone to do their own research etc.
Speaking of Father’s Day: My three boys sadly no longer get to celebrate it either, as their Dad, the love of my life, passed away a few years ago - at the young age of just 50. You haven’t got the slightest idea about what we had to go through and how much we miss him!
And you know what is “beyond cruel”? Your TSE bestie
@MDhere saying this about me: “what's a fact is she doesn't have a care in her body about anyone.”
What a vile comment. She doesn’t know me in real life, nor does she know my family and friends, whom I deeply care about. But instead of calling
her out for toxic bullying, let me guess - you gave her post a

?
At the end of the day, I’m a human being with real feelings. And I don't know if you're aware of this, but the way you choose to speak to people has a real impact on their well-being.
Am I an alien? Why don't you take your own advice, then?
I know very well how to be respectful to others - as long as they are respectful to me. But I have had to endure relentless cyber-bullying from select posters - including you - over the past 1.5 years, so will you please excuse that I am not overly polite to those that have been treating me with utter disrespect ever since I dared to fact-check Fact Finder.
I am talking about forum members here who posted nasty GIFs and videos clips targeting me (including one where somebody gets shot and a music video in reply to a post of mine that starts with the lyrics “Blood on the floor, look what they started / Hungry for more, they're spitting garbage“), told me to “to get help” and “go and play in the traffic”, posted something along the lines of “If I were her husband, I’d shoot myself!”, spread rumours about me hiding behind other accounts, insinuated I had possibly been pissed when writing a post, falsely accused me of plagiarism (without providing any supporting evidence whatsoever) and hurling offensive abuse at me, such as calling me the Italian word for “a piece of sh*t” resp. “a***ole”, an idiot, a bastard, and telling me I should go to hell.
So who is bullying whom here?
The ChatGPT post was only the second time I fact-checked a post of yours in almost eight months - after the one in June on the smart glasses that you claimed TSMC were developing (see below for ‘Bravo’ search results in my posts from January to date.)
I didn’t “target” you or time my reply in any way - the topic came up and I chimed in. I recently equally fact-checked posts by other users such as
@manny100,
@TECH and
@Baneino, while the vast majority of my posts is purely informative.
I will not stay silent either! I will continue to call out BS where I see it.
Such as your claim that you have had me on ignore all this while.
You’ve been following me here on TSE for a long time now and continue to do so, even though in mid-January you publicly claimed to have put me on ignore:
In March, you referred another poster to a February post of mine, which you couldn’t have read if you truly had had me on ignore (since no one else had replied to it):
I even gave you a

for that post at the time!
However, your history of editing or even deleting posts has taught me to take screenshots of those post of yours relating to me as evidence. That’s how the following came about, when two days later, you took a screenshot of a screenshot of mine I had posted about 15 minutes earlier, cropped it and reused that very image for your own post (pretending not to be aware of what I had just posted) instead of taking your own screenshot of the original fortiss LinkedIn post, which would have had a different time stamp and not the beginning of the sentence cut off like mine has. That carelessness gave you away.

And lo and behold, hours later, the post in question had already vanished into thin air. By then you had probably realised it was a rather dumb idea to “borrow” a screenshot of a post by a fellow user you claimed to have on ignore.
At the time I decided not to bring this up for the sake of peace and quiet, but since you just reiterated that you have put me on ignore, I changed my mind, as I’m afraid I can’t think of any other plausible explanation for the above other than
not being on your ignore list.
I don't deserve to be treated like this!
Let's move on now and refocus on BrainChip, the reason we are all here for, but to quote you - “I will never forget what you’ve done”.
