Knightus Maximus doesn't equal chivalry
There are those in the Detective Conan/Magic Kaitou fandom that pride themselves on being a small, relatively wank-free fandom.

Then along comes Knightus Maximus, otherwise known as Knightus Detective Conan.

Once upon a time, Knightus and MagicBulletGirl used to date and work on translating Detective Conan manga scans together. This fairytale was not to last as MagicBulletGirl broke up with Knightus both personally and professionally early in 2007 and started doing scans on her own. He hasn't handled this well. Knightus accused MagicBulletGirl of stealing his scans and asked Icka! M. Chif, a BNF that fandom, to look into it. Icka determined that MagicBulletGirl was acting as a distro, so she didn't do anything. She did provide a handy summary of the wank to December 2007.

Yes, it's still going. So what happened?

Knightus responded to Icka!'s post by claiming, "She started it first!" and decides to steal MagicBulletGirl's scans of the latest Conan chapter. He apologised, said he fix it and never did. He proceeds to have a nostalgic dream about the past, then Knightus' close friends and fans rally behind him and proceed to her attack on his c-box (read from the bottom up.)

Being the benevolent soul that he is, Knightus and friends suggest that MagicBulletGirl stop doing manga scans because everyone knows competition is a bad thing. And what wank would be complete without some good old translator harassment?

Now, in addition to his normal duties, Knightus is also a moderator at the Detective Conan forums, where he proceeds to use his all-mighty moderator privileges to freeze the forum thread for English Manga Scans so no one but him can post to it. Despite complaints, the mods take two days to respond. 'Industrial Red State' is JD aka Kaizou, who runs Kaizou Subs. He started Kaizou with the purpose of running Kaze no Koe out of business, then 'retired' from Detective Conan anime subs when he succeeded. He and Knightus used to sub together. 'magicaldreams' is MagicBulletGirl's RL sister

Meanwhile, a friend of Knightus' begins to threaten MagicBulletGirl via IM and someone hacks into her site and starts deleting files away. Though Knightus claims to have an epiphany, his "father" suddenly jumps into the melee begins to threaten her on his son's behalf. Meanwhile, more files are deleted from MagicBulletGirl's site that are not related to Detective Conan, though MagicBulletGirl has specifically - and repeatedly - stated that she wants to simply be left alone.

Let me state for the record that Knightus is old enough to be taking the LSAT. In other words, he's in his mid-to-late 20s at the least. And yet, if this is his father, he goes and fights his fights for him - and urges people to vote for Obama while they're at it.

ETA 1: Knightus claims that "Daddy" doesn't belong to him. Is he really his father? You be the judge...

ETA 2: Knightus's anonymouses come out to play wank, resulting in the anonymous commenting being turned off. Meanwhile, 'Industrial Red State' comes out of retirement just for this wank!

Brand new ETA 3: Knightus: "I don't believe anything is posted on "F_W" for the purpose of being blown over or resolved."
