I haven't been in a position to follow much, but am hoping to hear that TLI is doing a righteous house-cleaning, and that the NYE offenders have been publicly kicked off the team and told to reincarnate as something less offensive.
Is there any news on an actual trial?
Really LI hasn't publically denounced those two scuzballs? No way
Go read his official statement again. He hardly mentions the two, other than to say they'd barely trained there for more than a few months.
He then goes on to call all of the "haters" "depraved and misguided"

IT all makes sense as to why luca attala defended lloyd and his goods so aggressively. They have a 2 page spread on Marcos Avellan.
lulz.
These guys never stop.

Scroll 1/4 of the way down.
This whole thing is like the following cartoon on steroids:
I have a problem with folks publicly outing someone who is trying to remain anonymous. I have an even bigger problem if people use that personal information to essentially punish him for expressing an unpopular opinion. I'd like to think that won't happen, but I've seen folks from this forum take things way too far before.
He has every right to his opinion and to express it here, no matter how stupid it is.
Wouldn't you expect a BJJ magazine to write about that one though?
It's hilarious that you post this, because that's exactly what you are doing in these threads.
Yes and no. People use their anonymity as a shield, to say stupid, outrageous shit they normally wouldn't say in a conversation face to face. This is the same reason why there's road rage. People believe that as they hide behind anonymity, they can be assholes without consequence. In an ideal world of puppies and unicorns, assholes can be assholes without repercussions. But this is ain't that world.
I've said it before, but there's a difference between being an asshole and having an unpopular opinion. Yeah if a guy is posting threats or admitting to wrongdoing, by all means let's expose it and report him to authorities.
But all devnull has done is said "I don't think Lloyd did it". You guys want to pretend like this is some sort of horrible misdeed that needs to be punished. The guy is entitled to his opinion, even if everybody else disagrees with him.
Everyone does that in these threads, including the folks who can't let it go that devnull disagrees with them.
Difference is that you don't see me posting anyone's real name or directing people to their personal blog.
you're implying that devnull was innocently typing an opinion. lol what are you doing? I can't tell what points you're trying to make in just about every post I read. It's like some game trying to be a unbiased observer except you're only sticking up for Lloyd's shills.
Devnull probably hasn't even been harassed, he brought up the blog himself, his name is in his handle, it wasn't a big deal. If he were so innocently giving his opinion he wouldn't have ran away and hid his blog. What do you gain by obfuscating the discussion with your antagonism?
He is the one that called that attention on himself, acting like a "3%er" because he gets paid to travel and do bjj for his glorious blog.
I asked if that was his blog and....end of the world?
Please.
But like you said, I don't think people should start demonizing him and using personal info against him. I don't agree with posting his name and trying to ruin his name. I would much rather he just comes out and is honest with us himself.
