The small amount of guilt I ever felt about supposedly "throwing besada under the bus" over the PM leaks is pretty much gone after today. Dude is an asshole for mischaracterizing an entire message board as doxxers and stalkers, just because of a single thread poking fun at gaffers and his personal grudge. Although I'm not surprised as that was standard operating procedure on GAF (guilt by association, etc).
GAF was such a shit message board. I got hit with a three month ban for "doxxing" at one point:

How did I "doxx" him? In an ongoing argument in a thread, I linked to a
post in another thread on GAF from Messofanego of all people, critiquing something about Eden, which they claim triggered an off-site doxxing of Eden. I reached out to Eden off-site and he could offer no explanation for how I doxxed him. I reached out to a mod (ThoseDeafMutes I think) asking him to explain. No proof offered and I was even able to prove any off-site shenanigans aimed at Eden started well before we began arguing. He changed the reason to me being aggressive and be wary of the consequences of my actions...? In other words, bullshit.
FYI, months ago I reported Bobby to a mod for actually doxxing a gaffer he was arguing with -- in thread, he posted offsite social media and Reddit links that if you clicked through directly exposed this person's personal info. Was Bobby banned for three months or even a couple of days? Nope. His posts/s were deleted and that was it.
I got perm'd from GAF, after only two prior bans, for reporting Gordon or one of his friends for using their community thread as a place to brigade and hurl insults at unaware gaffers in other threads, which is against the TOS.

My so-called "mod-shopping" was trying my luck at PMing an online mod, not hearing anything back for hours or days, trying another mod until someone politely responded. I did this a few times at most. Basically my frustration with the lack of transparency and non-responsiveness = I'm a troublemaker. Assholes.
One more thing: Besada abused his mod status after I got perm'd as Jado by mocking and taking jabs at me well after the dust had settled. My main concern in joining Reset is that he would recognize me under my new handle and come after me. I'm glad that the Reset mods are showing a much much greater amount of maturity than the petty jerks that preceded them.
