If I had thought about it, I could go back through his post history and probably find some good examples of him doing it there, like, oh:

Ghost, Circa January 2021:
“Coming from a miserable person who repeatedly rushes in with snark of her own then retreats into a pity hole after being clapped at for it, this is a pretty bold statement. Sit your judgmental ass down if you’re not ready to stand up to honest judgment, yourself.”

[Pavel]

I think it may be perhaps best to just leave them to it. Constantly going there just to rail against the injustice of it all starts to just look… crazed after a while.

We’ll do us, they can do them.

@Selira Is Ghost the new Bane? Pretty sure that was something Bane would do constantly.

COULD BE.

Unrelated, Derp is trying to convince Ghost to come here, while simultaneously ignoring how Ghost has violated their CoC multiple times now.

[Meg]

@Jennkryst I don’t think he was trying to convince Ghost to come here.

He just wants to firmly establish in his narrative that This is the Bad Forum and MSB is the Good Forum.

We allow personal attacks and thread derails. They do not.

Good v bad, black v white, top v bottom.

We don’t even need to ban him, tbh. Like, I’ve had him on ignore on MSB for more than a year now. He never actually has anything constructive to say, just very occasionally I’ll have a hole in my reading and then realize it’s because people are making the futile error of responding to him, temporarily.

I prefer being where Ghost isn’t.

One of the only shocks of this thing has been being able to read the shit they say, because being banned means you no longer have someone on block. For the first time. In however many years.

Wait, we do?

@Testament
One of the treasures I’m very sad was lost to WORA was Bane’s extended metaphor comparing a MUSH closing to a boat sinking, though I think the parody of it is still in the MSB archives somewhere.

Whether we do or not doesn’t matter to the Narrative that must be maintained on MSB.

I’m an immortal god-being that lives on spite, angst, and caffeine. I can smite your feeble attempt at asserting reality with a flick of my wrist at the speed of thought. I dare you to try.

[Pyrephox]

I think this thread is valuable as a venting thread, but I also think we should be careful that we’re not encouraging or organizing trolling on the other board from it.

It would honestly be better for everyone if we just left them to…whatever thing they’ve got going on there. With only themselves for company. That’s probably consequences enough.

The best thing anybody here can do is stop reading it. Just–stop reading it. Stop letting him get into your head. He doesn’t deserve to be there.

(please somebody take away my internet or something so I can stop reading it too)

Thank you.

You’re right.

[Meg]

@IoleRae Yeah. Stop reading, stop fighting, stop trying to point out things.

Everyone has their Narrative that they have bought into. It’s not going to change now. I say that, despite dropping in my last bit of corrections on MSB.

But now I’m done. Honestly, there are so many things that need our energy. It’s not this.

[Narson]

@KarmaBum God. We need more HSR in our lives. Somefolks say he is a terrific athlete.

Mine’s War and Peace by Leo Tolstoy. It’s a really, really good book. Highly recommend.
