What's going on with Epik and Rob Monster?

[MapleDots]

I'm catching the tail end of this, seems to be some kind of controversy...

Must be something odd to evoke this type of a response from one of our members.

You simply dodged my posts. People are free to have their views, I'm free to disagree with them. Not complicated.

Are they free to have those views without condemnation and calls for exile?

What part of people can have their own views do you not get? You want it all one way. You don't think people can read and see the stuff you're skipping? You want to hold people to certain standards but some people you want to give a pass to. I'm not going to have some 2/3 page thing because you can't see how you contradict yourself. Not going to play that little game, I have better things to do today. Simple reread the prior posts.

For your next post, maybe one day you'll hold Rob to the same standards. To this point, you haven't. You didn't touch some of the points brought up in earlier posts.

I respect you JB. You have different views than I do on some (most) subjects. I am tolerant of those views that I disagree with.

I wish those that disagree with Rob showed the same respect and tolerance. There is no need to destroy a person's life, no need to condemn and no need to exile someone for their differences. There is a victim in all this and it's because civility, respect and tolerance was not acknowledged.

I would appreciate if someone could paint a rough picture of how this would be a hoax, how a hoax could have been carried out here
Not really expecting anybody to, but I'm curious how insane minds think about this

It was reported that the first victim of the shooting looked at the gun toting shooter and welcomed him by saying, "Hello Brother."

In honor of the victims, we should give that deep statement the respect it deserves by being respectful, tolerant and forgiving to those that have different views.

 

[OnlineDomainShop]

Removing all of my domains too , It is a serious issue.

I wanted to remain silent and ignore all this even after having personal connections with one victim family of NewZealand massacre. With respect to you, there were 50 victims in total in all this and Rob isnt one of them. He called the suffering of people a hoax and on his side, you are trying to portray Rob as a victim and play victim card. I am glad Rob's voice isnt loud enough to reach families of victims of Newzealand and they are recieving all the Love from their fellow countrymen, and thats all they should be hearing right now..

I did not intend to diminish the true victims. I apologize, my heart goes out to them.

I intended to say that there is a victim in the conversation within the domain community. A different type of victim, but nonetheless a victim.

Again, my apologies.

What is Rob's role at Epik?

Their site says he is CEO and President: https://www.epik.com/about/
You can see pictures of the staff there - what do they think of his public non-business activities?

And what do the Epik investors think? Epik Holdings Inc are seeking investors:
https://gab.com/epik/posts/43282539


Is Rob the majority shareholder/owner at Epik or do others control it? That probably determines who he answers to.

Rob is pretty much EPIK, I mean it's his baby, before that it was Domain Strategies, and before that Rob was involved with Healthcare.com. Being I guess CEO of a business that kind of dabbled in rights online, and such, it makes him a sensitive target of association by his position. I mean he is a private person, and does have opinions as any of us do. It is this is a really hyper sensitive topic right now, and thru his GAB association he just got churned into the headlines whether it was his intent or not, but it is not looking good as people seem to be pulling their domains in protest, even though the company is not just him, but a diverse number or investors, and employees, but his CEO title seems to get the medias attention. I don't think anyone here can argue not many CEO's answer emails as quicky, and as direct as him with their basic level clients, and he is always helping people, it is a shame his reputation is getting ruined with all these headlines as his actions don't really portray the person he is when it comes to helping people.

These kind of things can take on a life of their own once released into the wild, but given the nature of the video, and the message of how these people were hunted down for no other reason than not being like the person shooting it, and all the families involved maybe feeding that stream was not a good call on his part, as it seems his message of internet rights has been lost. What happend in New Zealand is beyond words, as this place is paradise if anyone remembers some of the backdrops from the Lord of the Rings. I can understand if someone you knew was on that video, it's bad enough what has happend, but for people to watch it, and share it can make you cringe. It looks like one board member has stepped down, and I was surprised to learn the other board member is married to the daughter of attorney Gloria Allred, who is always front, and center in abuse type cases.

This legit could only suck for epik. Rob does not deserve this kind of smear,.. geezer, wtf. U would think that a LEGAL foundation filled with law profs would never stoop to writing a tabloid-esque piece filled with OPINIONS rather than facts.

Ppl are mad at GAB, Then decide to take it out on epik because Th ey agreed to have their domain.

Actually I transferred 100+ domains to Epik but after that I came across his post against Islam on Gab and now this.. it's not about him giving Gab a platform, that was not a big deal for me, but he keeps on doing stuff that no one in their right mind would defend.

I noticed that Rob didn't apologize for posting the shooting vid lol .. just backed it up as "free speech"

But tbh, this situation reminds me of how every1 is calling pewdiepie a neonazi... when really he's not.

I think Rob wants a free world, the problem is that everyone who comes seeking sanctuary at his place happen to all be ficktards. So it makes Rob look bad.

But tbh, I don't get why he posted the shooting video. Th eres a difference between being apathetic towards your customers' beliefs... Then actually actively tweeting their stufd....

 

[maksimfa]

Agree or disagree with @Rob Monster personal views... when it comes to registrars... you have to be crazy to not want him DEFENDING you as a customer.

Rather than sell you out for convenience, i.e. GoDaddy or any other registrar there... who is trying to be "PC"... Epik is certainly not going to bow down to pessure regarding your domains.

And in all reality... in 2 weeks this will be forgotten and people will discuss the registrar and the benefits.

But that's the thing though... people think that Nz is this utopian society but here it is first hand... country willing to jail you for sharing facts and what happened.

Next thing we know they are going to to clean up history and remove every Hitler reference too?
He killed a HELL OF A LOT more people.

Erasing things from history is the first step to denying it happened.

Yes, this was a horrible incident, but jailing your own people over this?

So much for living in a free world, right?

I think in Europe you can be jailed for saying the holocaust didn't happen. I'm not sure but i think having neonazi symbols, like the swastika, is also illegal

So nz is just following this sort of thjng.

But in this case, they are blocking out what DID happen.... which is unique.

Moving all my domains out of Epik

Come back to The PREMIUM REGISTRAR GODADDY, your domains Will be Safe and Free from Ignorant ´´CEO´´ opinions and twitter hate posts...

Another registrar getting out of business in the next months after this Massive Scandal! What a way to Ruin a small registrar reputation!!

ICANN should take Action ASAP and suspend their operation as registrar, if not, many clients Will leave them alone and with lack of profit, they Will shut down with a posible BANKRUPT!

Not really expecting anybody to, but I'm curious how insane minds think about this

Back when there were cinema shootings in America and people were calling for gun control, those who feel that if the government takes their guns away they are taking their liberty away got paranoid and started looking for clues about how all these incidents may be false flags which could be used as an excuse by the government to implement gun control. At least since then, every single mass shooting or terror attack either in Europe or America has been called a false flag operation. Earth being flat makes more sense than these gun control conspiracy theories.

Attacks like this one and the synagogue shooting makes it look like Christians are becoming terrorists and Christians like Rob Monster obviously won't want people to think that, so they try to make this idea popular that these kind of attacks may be false flags and what's more bizarre is that they feel these attacks are done by collaboration between muslims, jews and liberals.

Perhaps Epik should change the CEO and cut the ties to gab.
