Sotalo from Florida pretends to listen to NJ furs, while doing the opposite and calling public protest about the evidence "a horde of liars". Sotalo cites bans on "politics" as a credit to management, ignoring the twisted way it was used to protect nazifurs by labeling complaints as politics.

They think this con can be saved by repeatedly denying what they did, playing ignorant, and trying to bulldoze complaints of repeatedly being ignored.

Wall of text excuses didn't work for their last attempt at an official statement, but the same tactic is back more aggressively from Sotalo in Florida. This ignores how Dashing, the board, and GSFTW chat admins dismissed evidence as "politics" and welcomed banned people back. A Gish Gallop of lies.

More of the same. The tactic here is relentless firehose of excuses. "until Fox News showed up, he (Dashing) only ever saw people as friends" - after being repeatedly warned about his friends.

"Sorry not sorry but if anyone needs to start "learning to trust each other", it's the board." Sotalo is floundering in a sea of excuses. Saying "NO MORE LIES" is admitting that con management repeatedly lied to it's own staff, paying members, and the public. Yet you're wrong for not trusting again.

Once again Sotalo is pushing the mismanagement excuse that protest about nazifurs was about "personal problems" and not a serious security threat

Sotalo should apply to be press secretary for Trump. Remember the revolving door of people like Sean Spicer who were paid to stand in front of cameras and describe what they were doing as "alternative facts?" bsky.app/profile/boxo...

Sotalo's initial firehose of excuses is going dry. "Answer for this" "Two things wrong here: Getting mighty silent about this All the text wall excuses that just happened"

GSFTW management and chat mods taking hit after hit for lying about problematic friends, falling back to excuses about procedure for banning, then being questioned about why they inconsistently favored their friends who were unbanned.

Shy bringing in his friend Sotalo from Florida to blame the NJ community goes to show how poorly GSFTW has been managed. bsky.app/profile/cray...

GSFTW chat calls for corrupt board to step down, with obstructionism by Florida fur Sotalo, acting stooge for his friend Shy Matsi. I'm also getting private messages about Sotalo being chronically a defender of problematic people. (1/4)

Sotalo's rhetoric is extremely authoritarian. The people in charge aren't the problem, you all are! Think of what you're doing to the poor volunteers! If you want change, you can leave! New Jersey won't have a convention anymore if you don't all stop it right now! Makes me want to puke.
