Bannings
-
To me it’s coming off that they are the ones trying to keep the drama going. Except, perhaps, in DMs or something no one here was even talking about MSB anymore until they started getting all fussed and such.
-
we honestly should stop talking about it again. there’s nothing good to be said.
let’s end it on this note. all of you left banned:
derp just admitted you just weren’t popular enough with the admin to get unbanned.
scar and i were.

@IoleRae
What amuses me is I consider my ban, and the other ‘fuck you’ person ban, the only ones of the first batch that’re really defensible because, oh gosh, our intentions were clear. And OK! I’ve never been banned from anything in my life and this is weirdly giving me very deferred pre-teen rebellion vibes without having to shoplift a tube of lipgloss. Maybe other people have way more awful DMs but mostly this latest thing feels like ‘raise a specter without actually owning what you are accusing anyone of’. So, OK, my ‘this is bad’ and ‘George Orwell quote’ DMs are public record now and I can be OK with things.I want something else to get me through this
Semi-charmed kinda life, baby, baby
I want something else, I'm not listening when you say good-byeShe/Her or They/Them
-
It is what it is but it feels incredibly personal at this point that they are screenshotting my words. I didn’t DM anyone about this situation and have never bullied or harassed anyone thru DMs.
But if they are avoiding explaining bans based on the “privacy” of those involved, they have my permission to release their discussions about me. It doesn’t matter tho cuz I stand by what I said anyway.
-
@Third-Eye ok but in a forum where there are no rules against cussing, how is ‘fuck you’ that much more over the line than ‘you’re unhinged’? they are both really clear in their intentions.
-
@bear_necessities hey, i’m sorry. that’s my bad. i used him accidentally @'ing you to kick off a discussion about why i think the bans were arbitrary and why i thought they should, once again, please reconsider their arbitrary af bans.
sorry
-
@Meg I don’t think they would have cared who it was. Or if anyone was mentioned. They seem like they would just bring up how X person that is banned did this ‘horrible’ thing in the heat of the moment.
-
@Meg Nah you don’t owe me an apology and I don’t consider this to be your fault or anything, so don’t feel bad please.
-
@Meg
IDK, I am amused swearing in the Hogpit is shocking, but the one reprimand I ever got in a workplace was because, back in my newspaper days, the life-style columnist who I sat across from and I apparently got a lot more blue than we realized and offended the nice letters to the editor lady, so this is a criticism of me I will own. -
Just for the record I think I had two DM conversations on MSB, none recently. I didn’t DM Gany or anyone. I remain banned for asking why Arkandel wasn’t banned for posting after the stop while Snackness and others were. Others who directly attacked Gany got unbanned, and I think Derp confirmed by stating process when asked for reason.
It was pure popularity. So they banned those who those with power did not like. That was the ultimate criteria for the ban becoming permanent from what I can tell. And yet they keep insinuating I’m the bully? How quirky they are.
Oh wait sorry, also terrorists. Terror bullies.
-
I admire those of you that are trying to make them understand how they look like fools, but I am afraid that you are probably wasting your time. They like the way things are. They have no one there to really hold them accountable because those that do are just big old bullies that dogpile them. Because it’s not like they aren’t engaging in that themselves at this point.
-
Let them have it. Seriously, just let them have what they want.
The best thing that can be done at this point is to let them ultimately deal with the consequences of their own actions.
-
@IoleRae dw i keysmashed my password; i am seriously not going back. i hope you are proud of me.
the bully that i am, excusing myself politely before being insulted by multiple of their posters.
eta: (no personal attacks, guys! unless it’s about those people. you know the ones.)
-
@Meg Okay, but you are OUR bully.
lol lmao

@Herja Meg: The terrorists’ bully

I was being a shit to Derp and Reimisu, but that’s because they fucking well deserved it for trying to invalidate trauma responses. How this translated into me being a big mean bully is fucking beyond me.
Immature? Yeah, I’ll own that, but only because they were breathing down my fucking neck with their own dogpiling.
I’m frustrated as hell. Like, I legitimately just want them to realize that they’re creating an echo chamber. With pMonique, Derp, Devrex and Reimisu loitering there, a rather insidious one, at that.
Just fucking meh.
Nothing for it.
And now my fucking anxiety is eating me alive because I suck at confrontation.
-
been largely ignoring this board while that was going on because i didn’t want to give the appearance i’ve been accused of that i was being egged on to this shit or shilling for internet points.
but, fuck. That was exhausting.
also, damn it, @solstice, you posted basically what i was trying to figure out how to say while I was writing this. Biggest thing I want to see is, frankly, Derp and reimesu acknowledging that they’ve been pieces of shit from the very beginning of all of this and offer some semblance of a mea culpa. I don’t think it’s going to happen, but I mean, maybe I can make people see that they should and it’s not going to happen.
You held your ground and presented your points well. The fact that we both came to basically the same conclusions independently should probably be some kind of sign to them – it won’t be.

no, it won’t. but, however, i would like to formally invite you both now and forever be in a clique of Three with me. Us Three. When people are like, ‘omg, it’s the Three’, we’ll know they are talking to us.
