I'm risking a lot by posting this. I didn’t want it to come to this but it’s been years waiting for improvement where frankly there has been none.
In this post I will expose Fizz for exhibiting absurd levels of bias, targeted harassment, a destructive personality… Other things of such nature. And ultimately show why he is thoroughly unfit for the role of Moderator.
I’ll skip the formalities this time and let's just get to my key points.

Exhibit Z-

On May 29th, 2014, I asked this question on PokéBase:

If a Technician Scizor is physically attacked by a move that has 60 BP or less and uses Counter, what will happen?

It was swiftly answered by user Qwerty_Zoom, who explained in elucidating fashion that the move Counter ignores factors like STAB and Abilities.
A full two minutes, thirty-nine seconds later, Fizz left a lukewarm (and redundant) answer to the same question, essentially parroting what Qwertz had just succinctly put.

I left the following comment in response:

> k, but you answered late, so no BA for you :P

A fair reaction to a superfluous answer such as this.
Or so one would think.

Since this seemingly harmless event, Fizz has had an insatiable vendetta against me, leaving numerous warnings, threats, and unfounded accusations on my wall (such as these) despite my having a completely innocuous history and being an irreplaceable contributor to the site.

This malice wasn’t just limited to being directed at me, but extended to my friend group as well. Most famously illustrated when…

Exhibit Y-

He needlessly banned at least two dozen duplicate accounts belonging to Gʟɪɢᴜʀʀ, Gligurr himself being an invaluable asset to this community. This was when it became clear Fizz was unfit to hold power. Users gathered in chat to mourn the loss of Gligurr's accounts, further enraging Fizz, who'd hoped for a silent killing. But this was only Turn 2 of his Outrage, as he went on to ban me as well as a few more innocent bystanders. I politely pleaded with him on the Pokémon Showdown server to reinstate my account, as I had done nothing wrong. My pleas were left unanswered for days and Fizz proudly declared I would never return to the website, much to the dismay of many.

Exhibit (P)X-

I was only unbanned thanks to the efforts of PX, who exposed Fizz’s extreme bias to the masses and forced him to unban me and my friends due to sheer embarrassment. No apology was provided.
You'll recall that not long after, Fizz banned PX in retaliation. Is there no end to this guy’s madness?

The most baffling part of this whole thing is that he could have just reselected Best Answer on my question when he became Mod. But he instead chose to continue feeding a toxic grudge for years over his own petty ego.
Unfortunately this behavior isn't limited to me or Gligurr either, we even have some corresponding user testimony. (Provided to me by an anonymous source.)

I anticipate some skepticism, for sure. Perhaps there are those of you questioning my motives, who see this as nothing but a volatile hit piece. Wondering why I held onto such evidence for years, only to turn up out of the blue with dated accusations. But I assure you this is a perfectly well rounded and unbiased account of events. I would never post something like this out of spite. In fact, I am morally incapable of exaggeration.

My only regret is that I couldn’t post this sooner, on his birthday last week.

This is Your Excellency speaking, and I’m tired of being STUFFED AROUND!

"Morally incapable of exaggeration" *mic drop*
Best tag ever.
And team ribbit agrees on your behalf
I await Fizz's comments about these accusations.
I am seriously offended by the SLANDER you’re pouring on Fizztopher. We need to get the record straight. I will finally admit it; I was the one who banned PX in retaliation, not Fizz. I was upset she allowed you back on the site when you were BULLYING me and my beloved scorched burrito. Having you back on the site when I FINALLY got rid of you was pure torture! No apology was ever provided to you from Fizz because you did not deserve an apology. You committed heinous crimes by associating with a banned user and tormenting me. You should be thankful to US for having the heart to allow you back. You need to take down this post immediately, or else I will have no choice but to ban you for slander. I am disappointed in you, my excellency. I thought you have grown, and that we put this behind us. I thought you were someone I could trust.
