Perhaps, but that doesn't mean he has a restraining order. All I'm saying here is that we should stick strictly to known facts. By the way, someone just told me that someone named David Pickens is most likely the one using the retrolaird account on Twitter now. Mr. Pickens, who is just as detestable of an individual as Kieren, used to go by the username "dreamcastrip" on here as well as on a few other forums. His record of getting banned from various forums is almost as impressive as Kieren's, which is saying something. His sole contribution to retrogaming was relentlessly trolling anyone who Kieren didn't like. In fact, the two often worked in pairs, and I wouldn't be surprised if he was the one behind some of the sockpuppet accounts we've seen. He was often known to use an "expanded" vocabulary in whatever he wrote, which often just resulted in him trying to sound smarter than he actually is. This, of course, perfectly fits the recent content seen on the retrolaird Twitter account. 2 Link to comment https://forums.atariage.com/topic/300891-the-review-of-a-z-of-atari-st-games-volume-3-book-retrolaird-is-trying-to-delete/page/64/#findComment-4540449 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, they both have very different writing styles, and the more recent tweets from Kieren's account seem closer to Mr. Pickens' style. And I simply can't see anyone else on this planet who would be dumb enough to try to assume Kieren's known Twitter accounts. I really don't know what they thought could be accomplished by that. 1 Link to comment https://forums.atariage.com/topic/300891-the-review-of-a-z-of-atari-st-games-volume-3-book-retrolaird-is-trying-to-delete/page/64/#findComment-4540475 Share on other sites More sharing options...

festershinetop Posted May 21, 2020 Share Posted May 21, 2020 (edited) Just incase anyone's new to reading this thread and wondering why he's red-dotting these people here's a TLDR. Kim Justice (Envy) Good youtuber, positive contributer to the retro community and through hard work has got where they are. Paul Rose (Resentment) Teletext uber deity, good youtuber and supporter of other youtubers/content creators. Also didn't recognise Kizzas brilliance the one time they met. Octavius (Envy) Same as Kim Justice and open about her mental health problems which Kieren expolited to almost push her over the edge to please the publisher of his shitty books. Retro Princess (Envy) Similar to Octavius but makes retro plushies. Aravelle (????) Not sure who this is but you can guarantee they did nothing to warrant the harassment. Larry Bundy JR Corrected Kizzas claims that he wrote "almost half" of his Fact Hunt youtube videos when he only wrote "about 5". Kizza does also target bad actors in the community, though only to try to shift the spotlight thats been on him since this thread began.
