(Note from the Staff: After several days of talking it over, the staff here at StP has found it necessary to move this thread to the Untrustworthy and Shady forum. Please know that this decision was not made lightly and that it is something that was discussed at length.
Cornelius has proven on multiple occasions to be an abusive person both emotionally, verbally, and occasionally physically. They have long used their position on this site, their youtube channel, and their status in the nomad community to repeatedly avoid repercussions and responsibility for their abuse of other people.
We understand that a lot of users are going to have mixed feelings about this. All we can say is that you read through this thread, take what information is given by their accusers, and make the decision for yourself whether or not to place trust in this person.
We take accountability very seriously and we, the staff, will always try to hold our own accountable for their actions. We also encourage any persons who have experienced malicious treatment from Corn to come forward and share your stories. Their behavior is unacceptable and their gaslighting and denial of their actions speaks to the nature of their character.)
Update, March 2022: This person's abuses have gone far beyond just drama related to StP, so much so that an independent accountability website (unrelated to StP) has been published here:
I regret to announce that I will no longer be associating myself with squat the planet due to a very deep and nuanced personal disagreement and subsequent disrespect. If you would like to get the full story, feel free to contact me directly. I will still be hosting this year's annual party as i have for the past four years.
