[QUOTE="Deset Gled, post: 8639831, member: 7808"] Dave Johnson has been a part of NuTSR's responses since at least January, when he started being active on the SF:NG channel on NuTSR's discord. [URL='https://www.enworld.org/threads/alleged-disgruntled-nutsr-insider-spills-the-beans.685944/post-8543055']I first noted that Johnson was part of the team as early as February[/URL], but I think the first public mention of the business relationship may have been in November 2021, when he was confirmed as part of the team for TSR Con. He was the artist behind the SF:NG promotional material that was posted on FB before TSR Con. And he's been actively promoting his own work under various names and Facebook identities during this same time, that I have been following personally. I am confident in my facts; I am basing my opinions based off of months of his behavior that I have witnessed, and years of his posts that were public until very recently. However, you are also correct that I am basing my opinions off of the actions of others as well. There's a reason I said "they" were acting guilty. Justin has been uncharacteristically silent (more so that he's ever been about the lawsuit), and has quietly removed Dave from an admin position of the private SFNG FB group with no announcements. Even RancidLord has been quiet, with the bare minimum of response on Discord, and allowing posts that he would have banned people for a week ago. People over there are litterally asking if the allegations about Dave are true and getting no response at all. This may not constitute proof, but it definitely makes me feel more confident in my opinions. Ernie is a very interesting person to bring up. For starters, it's incorrect to say that he retired from the NuTSR drama. He's confirmed to be the spokesperson posting on the DHSM FB page (and crossposting to other NuTSR FB pages). He's definitely still in the game, and was extremely active around the time of Gary Con and TSR Con, posting many pictures and updates. He's remained active on their FB pages since then, with a few random posts about artists and other OSR stuff. What did Ernie post about on the DHSM FB while we were discussing Dave Johnson's fascism? This historical bit: Do you think he was unaware of drama, or trying to redirect attention away from it? I could be convinced either way. Then today he followed up with this: [ATTACH type="full" width="348px" alt="dieiscast 202205190935.JPG"]165252[/ATTACH] No context given, but it's very curious. Anyone want to speculate? [/QUOTE]
