Oh wow, just checked their Twitter account:
39 minutes ago, tweet To Be A Patriot, will have to read it more thoroughly later (food time). Quick look, something about somebody having a site, getting the boot for violating the TOS, then getting mad about it, something like that.
Blog post -
https://www.epik.com/blog/to-be-a-patriot
@JB Lions -- Did you have time to look into this yet?
First off, I wonder who wrote the Blog Epik blog post To become a Patriot ... was it
@Rob Monster or
@Intelliname ? I only mention
@Intelliname as the writing style seemed similar to his recent writings on namePros / domain blogs, and there was also reference to wikipedia, stating
"...Our issues with wikipedia and the wikimedia foundation being one such example, where literally dozens of professional change requests have been systematically deneied, and in some cases openly mocked and laughed at within a worldwide public forum..."
As that statement mentions being laughed at in a world wide public forum, I wonder if the epik blog is referring to the
namePros thread, in which
@Rob Monster had posted
@Intelliname attempts to have the wikipedia article changed. Unfortunately, that attempt seemed abusive towards wikipedia members, nor did it appear Epik or Rob(s) were following wikipedia procedure. Instead, they seemed to shout conspiracies and fake news whenever things weren't going there way. I say fake news, but I really mean, there were verifiable reasons for their experiences, and it wasn't a grand conspiracy.
I also wonder if whomever wrote the article knows the definition of patriot.
noun
- a person who vigorously supports their country and is prepared to defend it against enemies or detractors.
"a true patriot"
Here's what I can tell so far:
Twitter member Leviticus19_18 might be Joshua -- aka epik's client and the registrant of 9chan.us who received the inquiry from Dolphin H. F*cker.
E.g. The inquiry that the Epik account had retweeted was accompanied by a tweet stating "... the very first complaint we received after take down was from someone who was urgently needing "dolphin sex."
-- wow that was hard to write without stopping, and saying, WTF?!.

Josh retweets epik released the domain, and will allow forwarding.

At some point, it looks like Josh got banned from Twitter

Still, I don't have much of a clue as to what twitter is talking about.
There is a twitter member @ HW_BEAT_THAT named Fredrick Brennan that has been quite vocal on the topic. According to Wikipedia Fredrick Brennan was the creator of 8chan. I'm not up to speed with 4chan/8chan, nor do I know if @ HW_BEAT_THAT is in fact Fredrick Brennan.
@ HW_BEAT_THAT had posted the below quoted open letter.
Dear Mr. Monster,
Today your company made the decision to ban the domain 9CHAN.US, which in my understanding aimed to revive 8chan, the reviled imageboard website which was used by at least three domestic terrorists in 2019 as the first place they announced their attacks.
I commend this decision.
However, your company continues to host 8chan's original domain, 8CH.NET, which redirects users to 8KUN.TOP, 8chan's new domain.
Your company also continues to host the domains 5CH.NET and BBSPINK.COM, which are the sources of income which keep 8chan online.
You have today made the right decision to not allow this type of website on your registrar. I have it on good authority that you, Mr. Monster, are telling people that you are not allowing any "chan" style website to use your registrar.
If that is so, why does Jim Watkins get a pass? Right now it looks like you are simply cynically banning his competition, instead of doing the right thing.
I believe that you want to do the right thing, as you've made the commendable step to not register 9CHAN.US. I hope that your continued support of Watkins' domains in light of this is a simple oversight. I ask that you suspend 8CH.NET, 5CH.NET and BBSPINK.COM, and stop doing business with Jim Watkins. At the very least, for the sake of consistency, 8CH.NET must be banned.
Kind regards,
Fredrick Brennan

Lastly, putting the click bait "Dolphin Fucker" aside, there is a VICE article regarding 9chan from April 21st, 2020, titled, "
