[The stinky skink]

This is called reverse psychology, aka turning the tables on your victims while accusing them of everything you do yourself, and is something Bardfinn is an expert in.

I wish that I could find a link. I once saw Bardfinn accusing someone of being a Nazi and Bardfinn often themselves talks about Nazi Germany, as an "expert". The other party explained that againsthatesubreddits was acting as a new online Gestapo, in fact, and that they were creating a class of "untermenschen" to persecute based around political beliefs. At this point, Bardfinn accused the other party of being a Nazi because this person was familiar with those terms. Terms that any student of history is familiar with.

"I once saw Bardfinn accusing someone of being a Nazi", those posts where he's accusing random hapless Redditors of being Natsees are multiple and numerous LMAO, but I know exactly which one you are referring to here, it was this post in /r/Dallas:

If anyone can find it at the US Patent Registration Office database (which is where I looked for it), go right ahead. Of course no one on Reddit is going to ask him to prove any of this, just as he's never asked to prove any of his alleged credentials or that patent that he claims to have that we still haven't been able to dig up.

Bardfinn has made plenty of other claims about himself, none of which I was able to check independantly, and the ones that I was able to fact-check turned out to be false. How about his claims that he supposedly has "30 years of experience" profiling and hunting down right wing extermists? He was 45 when he made this claim, this would meant that he has been a Nazi hunter since the age of 15 which is evidently laughable. Every single time I tried to verify something Bardfinn was saying about himself I stumbled onto half-truths, innuendo, allusions, exaggerations, outright lies or just an impenetrable brick wall. I tried to find evidence of his supposed PhD degree, nothing. Yet this person, who to me seemed to be nothing more than an obsessive paranoid fantasist, was considered a trustworthy source of abuse reports by Reddit. Worse, he claimed to know and to have spoken to Reddit's CEO /u/spez personally. Which could be just another lie, you never know with Bardfinn.

Is it possible the patent itself is under a company name? I'm not sure how patents work, but it doesn't seem uncommon for an patient to have a group of people listed, or for a company to be named as the "owner" of a patent.

If it has a group of people listed, you can search by any of those people and find it. He just doesn't have a patent. He's lying. He might mean he worked on some project that someone else got a patent on, but he didn't.

Maybe I'm wrong and there's some oddity about how it's filed but while I can find many people named "Akins" on patents, none of them are this dude.

That's what I am thinking now.

Someone who retired as a computer scientist who is sitting on a large pile of cash from some patent would likely be able to pay their child support.

More details on the divorce. It involved criminal behavior that got a capias issued against him (basically an arrest warrant). He was, needless to say and completely unsurprisingly, a deadbeat dad.

The most obviously noticeable thing about this is the filing date, nearly two years to the date after his family violence arrest on 2/25/2010.

It has the look that he is still a deadbeat dad. This is the man who has ludicrous degrees of power at Reddit over actual human beings. Unfortunately, most of this is not available online. I believe this kind of material can be obtained by physically visiting the courthouse and using a terminal there, as @JosephTX got a bunch of records on Weeb Wars participant and serial wife beater Ronald Joseph Toye III, but anyone who wants to give it a shot should give the court a call first.

The woke defender of the whammens, Steven Joel Akins, is either a wife beater or child abuser, and a deadbeat dad who has had to be pursued for child support for nearly 10 years. This is who Reddit thinks should be an arbiter of morality. I spit on Reddit.

@Nykysnottrans - this is the post I was referring to. Appears to indicate that there are some court visits to get child support... but I'm not a solicitor, so I'm not sure.

Look starting on 3/9/2015 when the state Attorney General got involved, filed a motion to enforce child support, then a motion to show cause, and set a hearing for him to appear, they served him with it, he still failed to appear, so they once again ordered him to, and about seven months after the initial motion, got an arrest warrant.

I'm not sure he was actually arrested at that point. It looks like that might have finally gotten his attention.

Is that what all of that means. It looks as though American courts are very transphobic. All of those legal issues must have gotten in the way of being a noble online Nazi hunter.

 

[OttoWest]

The assault charges look to have been dismissed:

The Dallas County criminal court site is down right now, but Steve’s file was available yesterday. It’s just a record of dates and court activity on the assault charge but it appears his bail of $1500 was paid by Matthew Akins who is IIRC his brother.

To be sure, we'd have to actually see the contents of the documents. All we really know is for some period of time there was an arrest warrant.

 

[Nykysnottrans]

his bail of $1500 was paid by Matthew Akins who is IIRC his brother.

So Mr Earily Retirement With The Lucrative Patent That Doesn't Exist, who is supposedly so loaded with money from the royalties that he gets to play whack-a-mole on Reddit all day, nevertheless had to ask his brother to pay the $1500 bail for him? Cheapass. Pay your own damn bail.

All of those legal issues must have gotten in the way of being a noble online Nazi hunter.

With regards to this asshole claiming to be a Natsee hunter one day, a researcher engaged in actual research the next day, let me show you guys just how deceptive this all is when you're familiar with actual data research. Here is an actual data researcher - a real scientist with academic credentials you can go and verify - talking about his data research. Listen to how he talks about his ethical obligations as a researcher towards his research subjects:

While we were very grateful for the shout-out, we actually have very strict protocols at the University when it comes to dealing with any person, any individual, which we treat effectively as human subjects, in the same way that, you know, clinical research would be undertaken. We have ethical obligations to those human subjects to protect their confidentiality. People unfortunately cannot just walk off the street, and we're not, like, a service station for hacking. We do this in the same manner that, you know, any other scientific research would be undertaken which is under a strict ethics protocols. Those can be kinda burdensome but they are actually really important, because whenever you are dealing with someone's personal information, when they are entrusting their phone to you as Omar did, you're potentially accessing a lot of highly revealing information. You don't want to put that individual at any further risk. So you must both, explain to the person that you're dealing with, "here are the risks, so you understand this is what we do to protect your confidentiality", and then on the back end, the have to be very careful about how we construct our laboratory, frankly. You described a sandbox. I wouldn't say it's a sandbox, per se, it's more like various platforms, and systems that we use. Overlapping methods, techniques and skills that have been refined over the years by the extremely talented people that I have the fortune to work with at the Citizen Lab.

This, boys and girls, is why Bardfinn is not a researcher, what he is doing with trawling the Reddit API for users' data is not legitimate research, and you should never let him corner you in comments with his bullshit story about how he has a master's degree in this and a PhD in that other thing which no one can actually go and verify. Unlike legitimate data-researchers who are bound by ethics protocols and obligations towards research subjects, Bardfinn is treating Redditors like dehumanized disposable trash, and treats the thin wall that Reddit has created between himself and his targets as an excuse for him to target all those Redditors with impunity.

Thanks for finding this. Is it likely that there would be more info, like a transcript, if someone went to the Dallas courthouse? I will be in downtown Dallas next month and could drop in and see if I can get more info from a terminal.

I haven't done that before, so I'm wondering if I'm allowed to print things out, screencap with my phone, or would I just have to sit there transcribing? Not going to transcribe everything, but I would be happy to write up notes and summarize.

It's so funny that I have spent so much time on this site that I have internalized some of the "kiwis are bullies" rhetoric.

That is such a twisted world view:

Bully= nonviolent, independent citizen exercising their rights to examine court records.
Victim= violent abuser and incest advocate who spends all day, every day, bullying people off of Reddit.

 

[The stinky skink]

The shit he bitches about its low-level, and I bet he fapped to the "graphic rape scenarios of me" thinking a brawny magatard was going to give him the dick he's been clamoring for all these years

I'm revisiting the thread to try to process some things. No. Bard's not clamoring for dick. There's zero indication that Bard is anything but a "lesbian trapped in a man's body" which used to be a punchline, but is now actually come to life. Bard appears to be into women. I'll bet nothing gets close to that asshole...it's obviously very retentive. If they are roleplaying as a lesbian online, there's no clamoring for dick here. This is just a potentially abusive male looking for women victims and fantasizing that straight men want them. It's always about them. I really doubt that any "magachuds" are dreaming of somehow raping this person.

Bully= nonviolent, independent citizen exercising their rights to examine court records.

Gaslighting is interesting, isn't it? I have been sent this:

https://archive.fo/dkQTi

"You've answered your own question."

So all conservatives, according to Bardfinn, spread only hate.

My goodness.... I have been sent more information.

It turns out that Bardfinn has been harassing the moderator in the prior screenshot for years on reddit.

This is a shot from Bardfinn's reddit userpage where they strangely decide to mention this user and "ping" them by using their u/..... name. Which would mean that this user logged on to reddit to see Bardfinn obsessively mentioning them on Bardfinn's own userpage.

You didn't think it could get worse? Well it does. It's creepy enough that Barfinn took to her own page to repeatedly ping a moderator that they did not like. It gets worse. It appears that Bardfinn has repeatedly threatened this mod with actual jail for posting on reddit. For years Bardfinn has harassed this mod. Also threatened this mod's family. I don't know how much more gross you can get than being someone who apologizes for pedos saying maybe they have a condition... that causes them to diddle kids and they deserve our empathy while also trying to say that someone deserves to go to jail for posting on reddit and even their family should never get jobs because they post on reddit. This is truly appalling.

I am being sent more. Forgive me please for putting it here as I get it.

Someone to bardfinn:

do you think any registered GOP voters should be fired for secession? (sic)

Bardfinn:
"I think they should be indicted, tried, and convicted of sedition."

Someone to Bardfinn: "Do you mean the Proud Boys should be tried? Because I would agree with that. I thought you meant literally every registered republican in the country."

Bardfinn:

"
YES

I mean EVERY REGISTERED REPUBLICAN..." etc...

The other person:

"I've never seen a more succinct example of the phrase: "cut a liberal and a fascist bleeds.

Arresting every single registered Republican is such an absurd and unethical proposition, so logistically impractical that any real attempt to do it would likely lead to a literal genocide.

You dont just send 100 million cops to arrest 50 million people, its patently absurd. That would require a draft, train lines, concentrations camps and straight up mass death. You cant just lock up millions of people and expect to feed them... You're arguing for genocide and fascism."

Yes... yes... yes bardfinn is.

Bardfinn is genocidal. A mentally ill physically assaulting person who is genocidal.

Here's more butter for our toast.

https://archive.fo/yTcWQ

In THIS shot you see a mod asking for "misinformation" to be removed as a report reason since it's so often abused. The submission seems to get traction at modsupport and THEN of course suddenly Bardfinn shows up to abuse the mod that posted it.

The comments here that reddit admins also chose to remove (beyond the slapfighting) are interesting.

If you read it to the end you see the abused moderator fighting back against bardfinn.

@Nykysnottrans - I think you featured some of THIS before:

The 254th District Court would be another interesting venue. That is where the divorce records are. I'm not sure it's in the same building. Its address is George L. Allen, Sr. Courts Building 600 Commerce Street Dallas, TX 75202. I suppose it would be nice if that's a one stop shop for whatever we want.

It is virtually certain at least some of the documents on the docket would contain evidence of the subsequent abuse that led to the divorce, a couple years after his domestic violence arrest (where he was respecting the whammens with his fists).

Cool, thanks for the advice! Also, do you think I'll be able to print stuff out for a fee? I'll be ready with my cellphone for screencapping, note-taking, or whatever else I need to do to maximize the data collection. But print outs would be nice as I could scan those and upload.

It looks like there is a law library on the 7th floor and a civil file room on the 1st floor, so those would probably be good places to start, I'm thinking.

[Nykysnottrans]

It appears that Bardfinn has repeatedly threatened this mod with actual jail for posting on reddit.

He does that literally all the time. It's part of his "reverse psychology" tactics. He is the one violating the law here - and if anyone still doubts my claims about how creating secret blacklists smearing dozens (let alone millions) of innocent people being illegal, go and read this article, these SJW blacklists smearing innocent people are absolutely actionable and he knows it, so do Reddit who are potentially using him as their "fall-guy" - but he is trying to turn the tables on his victims by making them seem like they are the guilty ones for being upset about being baselessly smeared as "fascists" and "Natsees". The fact that courts are allowing lolsuits against these secret SJW blacklists shows you that courts too understand this is actionable.

Let me show you guys how Bardfinn is making up stories about how he's supposedly being targeted by Natsees and how he's hiding under his bed with his laptop fearing for his life.

In this post, Bardfinn claims there were attempts to have him SWATted by the Natsees: "Attempts to have me SWATted by law enforcement by attempting to spoof phone calls originating from my home phone to 911" (needless to say, no receipts were ever provided for this claim or any of the other claims in the post quoted below);

They have compiled and posted Personally Identifiable Information about me -- photos of me, photos of my kid, photos of my house, my home address, my birthday, on and off Reddit, to aid and abet people to harass me -- by:

Phoning my home;

Attempting (and failing) to hijack my email accounts and other accounts on other services;

Attempting (and failing) to open lines of credit in my name;

Attempting (and failing) to induce people to come to my home to harass me in person, and induce them to assault or murder me;

Death threats;

Rape and assault threats;

Threats to get me fired and to keep me from getting hired;

Photoshopping my portrait photos into pornography;

Writing graphic rape scenarios of me;

Posting these horrible things to small, obscure, unmoderated subreddits and then username pinging me to ensure that I saw these things.

Attempts to have me SWATted by law enforcement by attempting to spoof phone calls originating from my home phone to 911.

These efforts failed, and they burned through a lot of subreddits and accounts.

When these efforts failed to get me to leave Reddit, and failed to get me to stop moderating r/AgainstHateSubreddits, and failed to get me to stop reporting hateful and Content Policy violating material to Reddit's admins, they stepped up their efforts.

https://www.reddit.com/r/AgainstHateSubreddits/comments/ffd3py/no_users_are_not_conspiring_to_post_illegal/fjxvnkl/?utm_source=reddit&utm_medium=web2x&context=3

Also note: "Threats to get me fired and to keep me from getting hired;"... I thought he said he was retired with the lucrative patent... now all of a sudden he does have a job?

However, in this more recent post, the being SWATted claim has disappeared completely and has seemingly been replaced by a bomb-threat claim: "People have doxxed me; There's been death and bomb threats -- my local police bomb squad has had to clear my property because of the bomb threats."



So how did Bardfinn go from claiming he was SWATted to claiming there was a bomb-threat supposedly serious enough to bring out the bomb sniffing dogs? Most likely answer: he's just making shit up and can't keep his story consistent.

Hence that other statement where he claims people are trying to get him fired... when he kept saying he's comfortably retired and doesn't need to work for a living. These are all example of him being unable to keep his story straight, all indications that he's most likely just making everything up.

BTW, Bardfinn, did you make sure to take a picture of the bomb-sniffing dogs to post on your fellow League Troll Merari's /r/dogswithjobs sub? Or would that trigger your fellow far leftists too much who got their butts bit by a riot dog? LMAO!*

* For those of you who don't get the joke, I literally only discovered the League Trolls because of what happened with the /r/dogswithjobs drama. TLDR summary: supermod Merari had created a "cute animal pics" subreddit called /r/dogswithjobs where people began to post pictures of police dogs, like drug-sniffing dogs, bomb-sniffing dogs but also riot police dogs. SJWs got extremely triggered by those pictures, invented a conspiracy theory where LE were deliberately posting pictures of cop dogs as part of a secret PR campaign to recuperate the image of the police, and they demanded that Merari ban pictures of cop dogs being being posted in /r/dogswithjobs. Merari refused to censor out pictures of cop dogs on /r/dogswithjobs and inevitably the SJWs retaliated by brigading his other subs, including /r/ContraPoints. For me, this /r/dogswithjobs drama was literally the first time I encountered the name "Penny Oaken" in relation to /r/ContraPoints, /r/ChapoTrapHouse and /r/dogswithjobs. I had no idea Bardfinn had trooned out and become part of the /r/ContraPoints mod team. This was the starting point of my research into the League Trolls and what was going on on Reddit with SJWs taking over the site while kicking their ideological enemies out with the claim that they were supposedly "helping Reddit with their Natsee problem".

Unrelated to TardBinn but something from that thread caught my eye.
>Sorry to burst your bubble, but Trump has zero chance of getting elected president.
Ah, it was a different time.

Here's what he said about Donald Trump: "But I'm pretty sure a second Presidential term for Donald Trump isn't a thing that now, nor ever will, exist."



Remember, he openly admitted in that post I quoted above that only 3% of /r/The_Donald Redditors were white supremacists, even by his own standard (and only God knows what that is, as none of his research methodology is public in any way), and yet the entire subreddit had to be banned for supposedly being the equivalent of Stormfront on Reddit. A subreddit with millions of users banned over a mere 3% of its subscribers.
