"I've been a first hand recipient of his lies/deception"
People can change and maybe he has, but a personal incident from a few years ago still stands out in my mind.
It was probably late 2021 or early 2022 and I went back and forth arguing about something or other -- probably to do with bloot or pixelvault or one of the other projects people have already spoken ad nauseam about -- and eventually he blocks me, so I shrug and say good riddance and block him back.
But then he immediately tweets "omg look zeneca blocked me he can't even handle a discussion" (or something like that)
Even though he blocked me first. It sounds freaking childish to even talk about it (wah wah wah he started it), but it's the truth and has always stood out in my mind as an incident of "why the hell would anyone do that, it's clear as day [to me] that he's just blatently and literally lying?"
Points to a deranged mentality, gaslighting, lying, whatever.
I've had no issue with him for the last couple of years because i've had no interactions with him since then - so like I said at the beginning, maybe he has changed and is an upstanding ethical truth teller now (and god knows i'm not perfect either), but this was just a weird af sketchy thing he once did that i've never forgotten and wanted to share.
