- Drybones 5y agoI've been following this all very closely and I have not seen any evidence to show that any physical attack has ever happened, including the alleged police report in Germany, by cookie, which others can not seem to find. So I would not take what cookie says as fact at face value.
- causi 5y agoSeconding this. I perused a few of the threads in question and while there was significant grumbling there wasn't the level of fury usually associated with actual harassments, let alone a physical attack. The harassment-happy lunatics at Kiwi Farms also failed to significantly care about this issue. I will remain highly skeptical until I find non-anecdotal evidence.

- rubatuga 5y agoI've seen screenshots of his GitHub Page, and I'm not sure why he put the n-word in his GitHub status so many times. As a thinly-veiled joke?
