Pundit is in trouble now...

don't know if anyone saw this on reddit, but here...

https://medium.com/@ZweihanderRPG/april-6th-2020-public-statement-by-daniel-d-fox-regarding-john-tarnowksi-rpg-pundit-87a472e91705

Dan has an interesting memory of how things went down, doesn't he?

and apparently EVERYONE on 4chan is one of pundit's followers, cos anytime his game comes up, the immediate reaction in any thread is "Fuck off, Dan"

I have to be honest, I have a copy of the main rule book, and the rules, from what I have read, are ok. they aren't great, but they aren't terrible, and they sure aren't groundbreaking like he seems to think they are.  The art is shit. sure it is better than what I could create, but personally I'd rather have a game book with no art than a book with shit art.

(what really bugs me about the book is he released a revised rule book and has no plans to make an errata, you just need to buy the new version, instead of using the old version and having a file of updates)

I've been seeing that article pop up everywhere today. In typical Reddit fashion, I've had folks downvote stalking me for the past few hours for suggesting that Fox is in no way innocent in all this and that he himself is a vile, scummy piece of shit person from everything I've seen of him. But that was to be expected given that Reddit Retards are the SJW hive of scum and villainy. I think it's fucking hilarious.

Pundit doesn't like his name posted, so I'd suggest taking the link down and posting a summary instead if you want to talk about it.

I'm also doubtful that it belongs here in the RPG forum, since I don't think this is about any RPGs.

Daniel Fox is an Anarcho-Communist SJW asshole who's trying to deflect any legitimate criticism by attacking a good man like Pundit. I wouldn't be surprised if Fox is also a sexual predator like Black Hat Matt, Holden Shearer, and David "Olivia" Hill.

He attacks Pundit because Pundit is one of the few willing to stand up to punk thug crybullies like Daniel Fox and call them out on their bullshit.

I don't know about any of that, but I do know, factually, that he pulled a Fred Hicks and stated publicly that if you're anti-SJW or anti-Woke that you "don't deserve" his game and he'll personally pay you for any copy you've bought. Shit like that makes me more than happy to through my game funds to more worthy writers.

EDIT: Agreed this prolly belongs in one of the other forums. It's totally not directly game related.

Did he actually post Pundits RL photo? Isnt that illegal? Or grounds for charges of stalking?

IIRC, that's not actually a photo of Pundit.

If it is somehow a photo of him, then it's at least not a current one since the photo looks like it was some old Polaroid taken in the 1980's or early 1990's.

It looks like one of those stock photos of some neckbeard stereotype that someone would post to 4chan as part of some long-winded copypasta meme.

In fact, I might've seen it as a meme image posted on the chans back in the day. It's the kind of picture you'd see get used as an image macro template.

Hell, given that we know Fox likes to brigade against Pundit online, I wouldn't be surprised if he tried that shit on /tg/ and someone posted that and said it was Pundit's photo to troll him

Fox being the woke simpleton he is, probably took the bait and thought it was a real photo of Pundit. Especially since it would jive well with the fedora-wearing neckbeard shitlord incel strawman he and many other SJW's like to paint their critics as.

Leave it to a retarded faggot like Daniel Fox to mistake a 4chan shitpost image for an actual photo of his internet arch-nemesis.

...

Where I come from its is a condition known as a "Selective memory"

Fox is in showing his true form here.

I suspect he is in for a real roasting. because unless I sorely miss my guess Pundit will be able to cite chapter and verse, with times and dates of all Fox's assholish shenanigans.

Good luck with this Danny boy...

LOL not even close to a pic of real Pundit.

If you really want to, it's not that hard to see what Pundit looks like IRL.

But I understand why he wishes to maintain some level of personal privacy in the rpg realm due to the flack he takes from SJW's.

RPGPundit, get yourself a bulldog US lawyer in Danny Asshat's state on contingency and let's see how well Danny enjoys the court of law where its not feelings (and followers) over facts. As Zweihander is an asset with distribution deals and Danny has a cushy job, and has posted pictures of a home he may own, he's a decent target for a lawsuit. A contingency case would not cost you a dime and Asshat might fold swiftly rather than face a barrage of discovery.

I'm not very confident that Fox really meant it when he said that this was the last time he'd speak of me, but I sincerely hope that would be true. It's been four years of goddamn nonsense.

It's definitely come to that. He's defaming you on Medium.com and beyond. He's calling for financial harm to you. It's high time to clean his clock in the court of law.

If you're not familiar with the US laws of discovery, its worth an hour of your research time. Danny Asshat could be forced to cough up a lot of documents - electronic and otherwise - he'd really rather never see the light of day. And then you can file the discovery en masse with the court...making them public documents....which anyone can reference anytime.

Who knows what fun skeletons Danny has got in his closet? Maybe the light of the law can disinfect this little shitstain. He's not going to stop harassing you until it costs him.

Which is something I already told him. Throw the book at him and teach all of them a lesson, hell if needed be we make a legal fund to pay for the costs of the suit.

Lawsuits are too expensive. You'd need a $30k GoFundMe to hire and fund a lawsuit properly (and more).

That's why I support a contingency lawsuit, aka finding a junkyard dog lawyer in Danny's state who will take the case for free in exchange for a big chunk of the winnings. Such a lawyer would first have to size up Danny's assets and ascertain whether Danny or his company has liability here. AKA, is Danny speaking as Danny or as his company? If Danny has assets (bank accounts of note, investments, home ownership, etc), then the right junkyard dog attorney would be interested in chewing on Danny.
