I haven’t gone over to read, but I just get this picture of this person feeling so BADASS after attacking people who are literally banned from replying and defending themselves. Like some monster proud toddler who kicks over the playground blocks when everyone is already inside from recess.

Devrex, my dude. MSB goes dark and nobody posts anything in the thread for days. Like the whole forum shuts down. And then Ghost or someone has to chime in and lie about something or, as you say, poke poke poke poke poke until someone who still has faith in MSB logs on to defend against lies or obviously personal vague attacks.

If you want PEACE AND QUIET, you need to look to the people still there whomst are allowed to continually break the rules with no consequences.

tbh I’m amazed at the fortitude anyone has to read Ghost’s giant long posts. I hear them referenced and I go to look because I’m curious and I usually get a couple of lines in and I’m like

I mean, to be fair, you do have to keep an eye on those squirrels, some of them have college degrees.

Why so much reaching across the aisle to ensure that you’re continuing to interact with people you don’t like, Ghost?

Ah, I get it. Slow news day.

Every day is a slow news day when there’s only 10 posters left and like two active threads!

Also, fucking lol at whoever is upvoting themself with that alt account that was made 4 years ago and hasn’t made a single post.

I promise, Devrex, I would also like people to stop going over there to name call. If you think that’s what I was doing when I posted for a while-- I wasn’t. Give me some good faith. I was pointing out one thing that I thought was unfair and egregious.

But basically, both boards are doing the same thing at this point. Vague ‘look at them, eating crackers!’ posts, because honestly, we are still one community and this schism is silly and makes me sad.

so us posting on here about you guys posting about us on there-- yeah, that’s gonna happen. I wish people would stop posting on there, though, too.

but, i didn’t go post because i was ‘bored’. i posted because i really thought my point could be acknowledged about how stupid Narson’s banning was, but scar getting unbanned, etc, and how arbitrary this shit was.

Are you an accountant studying for your CPA or does BEC mean something different???

This is the enduring mystery, the truth that may solve this crack in spacetime that threatens to devour all of reality.

WHO ART THOU DRKILLPATIENT, WHYFORE DOST THOU UPVOTE THE RIGHTEOUS AND WITHOLD THINE LOVE FROM THE UNDESERVING?

[Snackness]

@bear_necessities I just wanted to look cool

i feel like trying to language police a hobby full of erotic writers and social outcasts is, uh, a choice.

@Selira

But it’s only a personal attack if you say a naughty word, I thought.

Shit. So I just call you a jerk instead of a fucking jerk, right?
(you’re not a jerk, you send me memes)

I’m genuinely baffled that sarcasm keeps getting tossed into those lists, but to each their own.

(I am definitely worth being culled from the community on that metric though, my blood sarcasm level is at least 0.23 percent, I’m dying of sarcasm poisoning, it’s very sad)

I am torn between goi g with the ‘don’t kink shame the language police’ and ‘ACAB’

There’s a reminder here that a lot of people have thinner skin than I do. It’s definitely a good thing to be reminded of, right? It doesn’t make them a terrible person or anything – my own mother can’t really handle foul language because it triggers a trauma response from experiences with my father, I get that.

Still, I’m not sure trying to force that change on a whole community of the sorts of people who gladly flout social norms is the right play.

ETA: flout, not flaunt. my eternal word nemesis.
