i was going to bump that thread to respond to a post, but i figure i'll just do it here to avoid any further drama..

Burke Dennings said: Isn't this the former moderator that was using his staff position to sell/trade illegal drugs while selectively scamming the userbase here? The same guy who threatened to use staff tools against members who complained about getting ripped off?
Probably better for the community if he remains banned. Seems like a pretty scummy guy.
I'm not saying u're wrong, but u might be..
alot of these things get blown way out of proportion, i wouldnt be surprised if most of those claims are rumors.
i know he backed out of a few trades and still owes some peeps, but that's about it. im sure he probably abused his power as mod too, but what mods dont? . why he was even put in such a position is beyond my understanding. im guessing it must have been cuz the mods found him ridiculously good looking. it's the only explanation i can think of..

Allow me to clear the air for you, then.
I posted it in the form of rhetorical questions to encourage people to ponder the implications of the facts for themselves. Don't doubt that any of it isn't true- it all is. He did all that shit. I was in close contact with several of the scammees while it went down. I'm the one who broached the subject to the staff and was in discussion with them as it was happening and after legend was dismissed from boomtown.
You can act like its something I made up, that the many of us in-the-know conspired to smear legend's good standing in the community. I do not care what you think and am posting this to the others who may be in doubt as you are.
You just blindly saying that it's a fabrication is more of some sewing circle bullshit than anything I've posted on the matter. Trying to stir up drama like this. GTFOOH.

I gave him a zero on the growery to accent the one he gave me.. There's additional info to all this in his reply to my rating of him.

In the thread zzzz pulled that quote out of, there's a fucking hilarious copy paste that someone did for legend that explains his actions in his own words. It's marvelous.

u cant blame me tho, alot of shit here does get blown way out of proportion and i personally know u've been wrong many times.
im not doubting any of this, but i'm also not going to assume that everything being said here is true. i like to keep an open mind.

Even DZ said he scammed (4 people, I believe) in the thread where he was trying to get the community to allow him back in. 
Legend tries to justify it in the growery rating I left him. (had to spam my journal just to get enough posts to do it )
Even if it's a dollar or a Tootsie Roll, fuck him.

I wish the admins still had a shred of a sense of humor between them. Years ago his nick over there would've been changed to iScammer and he would've just had to wear that albatross or be banned.

well u tend to assume many things, i really dont want go into specifics, but u assume and many times the shit is taken out of context. it's like u only read what u want to hear and nothing else. yea wtf, i know, but it;s true..
anyway, it's not just u, i know many rumors have been started in otd and tend to slip out into the rest of the forums and i've personally been a witness to this many times. so yea, im not gonna jump on the band wagon just yet.

I just want to mention that Burke is telling the truth about Legend.
I really liked Legend. I liked him a lot and considered him a friend. In fact it was tymoteusz and I who recommended him to be promoted to moderator of ODD. That wasn't a fuck up in itself because he seemed to have matured a lot in the last couple of years of being here and had become a seemingly good member of the community. Tym and I did fuck up by, after hearing about what was going on, letting his lying and excuses go on MUCH longer than we should have, because like AddyZ, we thought he was being sincere. In reality we should have reported him to the administration immediately and had him banned. IMO our initial lenience shows even more why he deserves to be banned though. It shows how he was willing to use the guise of sincerity to stall for time as long as he could, but not care enough about the situation to actually do anything.
Legend's story changed a couple of times from the beginning of that thread to the end, and he never even took responsibility for the entirety of what he did. Instead, in his final manifesto, he admitted that it wasn't jail, but poor timing among other things which made him unable to get the illegal drugs, which he was peddling through the Shroomery, to the PO box. In reality, he told at least one member that it was already in the mail and on the way, more than once, and did some other very shady things. He scammed. He did it of his own accord. It was entirely his fault. He had a lot of time to fix everything well before he got banned or went to jail, yet he didn't. None of the excuses he made are valid because there is no excuse for what he did. Especially not the drugs.
That being said, he's been given his punishment on this site for what he did on this site and that's all the punishment that should be given. You should all leave him in peace at the Growery. If I see or hear that a raid has gone on, the banhammer will find its way across the internet to the Shroomery as well.
