Hold on a minute....who is this Matthew Lock that Vacuumdevil refers to? Was he a member on Vacuumland? If so, what was his username?
Vacuumdevil - No offence, but I think that was a bit of a low blow. Unless you have some PROOF that Vacuum Facts really was involved somehow in Matthew's death.
I'm genuinely surprised vacuumdevil wanted to go here. Matthew named Performance Reviews, aka vacuumdevil on here, as a source of his abuse (amongst others) before he died, as you can see in the email screenshots below. The irony of that guy's
cruel comment above was seemingly an intentional low blow, and revealed true colours. It forced me to defend against a false accusation. If he suffers no reasonable punishment from this by the forum administrators, since it has absolutely nothing to do with this forum or this thread, then it sends the message they're happy for people to behave all but liabellously with impunity, inventing deeply hypocritical, cruel lies that aren't supported by a dot of evidence, just to smear other people they don't appear to like, at the expense of the dead they allegedly helped to bully.
These are a few snippets from messages Matt sent me, seemingly to psychologically deal with the abuse he got on here and elsewhere by the rabid vacuum enthusiasts. It's terrible how that horrible community seemed to poorly treat him for no reason other than he liked my videos. They can't bully me, so they apparently bullied a young boy instead, who was very bubbly and innocent. Maybe that's what vacuumdevil meant above by it being 'my fault'—possibly implying it was justified he was bullied for the 'crime' of enjoying my videos that simply evidence a full truth about various products.
Sadly, things seemed to get even creepier for Matt, as this snippet of a conversation he had with me shows. There was a
video (now removed) of another teenage boy with a channel on YT @DeepRinseEnthusiast2002, that seemed to allege there'd been sexual harrassment and deeply inappropriate advances by certain other members of the rabid vacuum enthusiast community who will remain nameless for now. Matt claimed he'd also been a victim, as you can see below. I recall there was a big noise about it all at the time and I heard rumours that the police were involved, but I didn't hear whether anything came of it in the end. The video later became unavailable and the alleged culprit is still making YT videos. I wonder if some people still have that video saved. It was quite disturbing. The point is, this is what that community is, like it or not.
Some of those who Matt claimed were bullies are the same ones that contribute to
targeted hostile threads just to attack people they don't like for no good reason. People can draw their own conclusions about those that slither around in this place while the rest of us are being civil and decent, contributing to
theads that are more popular than any other on this entire forum by a stunningly huge margin, which says something.
I don't particularly enjoy talking about this or interacting with the culprits, and I don't want to discuss this anymore, since it's in the past now. It's unfortunate this thread has been reduced to this by the same old troublemakers that never seem to suffer any appropriate consequences. It's not hard to stay on topic and be civil. I enjoy discussing advancing technology and my only interest in my channel or this forum is correcting falsehoods I come across and revealing what's true—because the evidence shows it.
