Well apparently Zak Smith got a court settlement out of the former rpgnet mod Ettin. Apparently the conditions were for an undisclosed amount of cash and Ettin had to post an apology up to Zak in various places online. His twitter feed was one, rpgnet another, but one was someplace that Ettin never even went to and that was the OSR channel over on Reddit. Why? Well I'll tell you why.
Zak is absolutely dumb enough to think that by forcing Ettin to apologize publicly to him that folks would suddenly welcome him back into his favorite old circles again. That he would be seen as vindicated and absolved of everything.
Well instead they flipped his ass the bird. The third party sites that are not bound by any of the court agreement either just deleted the apology or locked it an let it sink out of site. Over on Reddit Zak pulled out a sockpuppet and tried to drum up support for himself but that led to a pretty hefty amount of down voting while people were telling "so totally not zak" to fuck off.
Ettin sat up a gofundme to help pay for the legal costs he accumulated and people were happy to help him out. Across Twitter pretty much everyone was calling Zak out and making it very loud and clear that his skanky ass is not welcome back.
Except for the sewer drain that is the forums that John Tarnowski runs. Folks who were previously burning him at the stake were welcoming him back with open arms. Only a couple dared to say that Zak is still a festering pile of pig shit.
Now with that all said I will say this about Ettin. I don't really like him, he seemed more like a troll with power than an actual mod when he was at rpgnet. He also used to like pointing out when others were having badwrongfun in his eyes and crept towards onetruewayism quite often. Even then he is still miles above Zak on being a better person. Ettin is normally one of those folks I ignore and that's easily done, he never really stalked people down. Stalking is what Zak loved to do, normally using his notebook full of sockpuppets and foolish fans to do so.
So Ettin if you read this I hate to hear about the settlement and what you had to do. Zak if you read this you can go take a very long walk off a very short pier, oh and don't bother replying here because I'll delete anything you have to say. Nothing that comes from your brain is worth keeping around.
