i've seen the light—i don't hate anyone anymore

i just wish we lived on different planets, that's all

i can't

the internet ruined it for me

if in 2014, weebs had just said "anime is good; we just have extremely terrible taste," 90% of the conflict in this website would've been averted

You said “ it's just so fucking weird and lame” and you’re telling me I’m negative? And it just disassociate me, there’s a reason people here have done it. Flee being a recent example. I can’t tell you exactly why Flee asked to do it because I haven’t talked to him in a long time but he definitely doesn’t have anything to hide. I imagine he has similar reasons to mine.

You started getting aggressive and I said “ok I really appreciate your input” to let you know I was done talking because you started being rude. Now you’re gonna act like I was being rude in the first place? I was trying to end my conversation with you as amicably as possible, I don’t understand why you’re having trouble understanding why someone wouldn’t want to be associated with this place. Honestly, I’m surprised you’re still here.

i got aggressive because i felt like you were dodging my question for no reason

i still don't get how blacklisting dissociates you when all your posts are still easily accessible, but if you still feel like that's what you have to do, then i guess it doesn't matter

I find it very interesting how so many of you apologized and then immediately became hostile afterwards, almost as if you can’t handle the guilt of how you treated me and now you’re lashing out at me because of it.

no, it's literally only because i asked you a simple question and you responded like a dick

i understand that you just don't want to be associated with this place—i don't understand why the blacklist is necessary

all you had to say was "mind your own business" or "the reasons are personal" and i probably would have respected that

The only people worth being or feeling condescending to are druggies, murderers and rapists. By chance you don't strike me as any of those. It's as simple as that. I asked, got an answer, and called it a day.

Sure he can. That'd be the rational and easy to make choice. But for whatever reason he deems it necessary to delete his account. I'm not much for bothering to summon an argument over people and their semantics because on most accounts they'll just do them anyway. Just so long as they do their semantics out of my life my day isn't totally fucked by default.

Get a load of Oliver Twist over here HAHAHA. No the rational choice is to not want to be associated with shit like this
http://sep7agon.net/the-flood/meme-thread-69992/3420/

The site’s history is ugly, and it continues to be an ugly and disgusting place. If you’re here and not actively speaking against shit like this, one can only assume you’re either for it or it doesn’t bother you enough to make you want to say anything or leave. So please, shove your pseudo intellectual bullshit up your ass.

you will always be associated with this website

I was kinda interested when those first recorded calls were revealed, but delving into the private lives of celebrities like that has always made me feel a little gross, so I stopped paying attention.

I was definitely anti-Depp when that initial recording of him being drunk and belligerent at home was uploaded several years ago, because I kinda always suspected that he might've been a douchebag anyway, but if it's true that Heard was the real abuser all along, then I guess people will have to stop making oh-so-clever jokes at his expense whenever they watch one of his movies, so that's nice.

I remember when slash banned you that actually was hilarious

over absolutely nothing too, yeah that was pretty funny

Valid point if that's what you want for your life.

it's not valid at all, he can just stop posting lmao

you didn’t watch the video did you. It’s not about not posting dude, I have no temptation to post here. As you can see I’ve basically been inactive here almost the entire year. I don’t want to be associated with this place anymore. I’m glad to see quite a few users have changed their ways, but I still don’t want to be associated with this place.

but you're having cheat permaban you though right

why is that necessary, is what i'm asking

why not just leave without a word

Because I don’t want to be a part of this website. I tried to leave without a word but cheat didn’t answer for me 2 days so I made a thread. Then I saw Ender’s post and it shocked me how much she changed, so I talked to her, then I talked to you. Why are you so worried about what I’m doing?

it's just so fucking weird and lame

if i were to leave, i would sign off and never sign in again, getting cheat to ban me isn't a necessary part of that process

ok I really appreciate your input

thank you for admitting it doesn't make any sense at all, and for admitting you obviously have some kind of self-control problem

i'll enjoy getting the last word, at least

this is exactly why I don’t want to have any association with you and why I kicked you. The fact that you care about having the last word on anything, especially on this website, is very sad.

i don't care, it's just hilarious and satisfying that i will in fact get the very last word

i hope you overcome your self-control issues (and everything else that's clearly wrong with you) some day

destroys temptation, and eliminates accountability

but also not really, since you can still read blacklisted members' posts by checking their profile

besides those two reasons, there's nothing else

Well that’s just something you’re into doing. If I don’t like something I may continue watching it to give it a chance or I’ll just drop it. I won’t spend a bunch of my time posting every thought I’ve ever had about it especially when it’s a rehash of the same negative opinion.

I just like discussion for discussion's sake. Positive or negative, it literally doesn't matter. If you were to watch all of Evangelion and you thought it sucked, I would encourage you to go for paragraphs upon paragraphs explaining to me why, because I'm there for the discourse. Not to prove you why you're wrong or whatever, but because I'm genuinely interested in your reaction (unless you're like Flee, and intentionally missing the point just to be annoying. That's no fun).

The people I consider my friends don't have to like all the same things I do. Just knowing that I have somebody to talk about stuff with is enough. My "going on for three days" was me trying to engage with you about something you were interested in. If I were you, I'd find that exciting, not discouraging or annoying.

Just a personality difference, I guess.

There’s nothing wrong with it when you want to actually be part of a conversation instead of trying to shut it down because you dislike it.

I don't recall ever trying to shut a conversation down.

I tried to be a friend to you so many times, and so many of those times you told me I was full of empty platitudes. Like my life experiences don’t count for anything and I don’t have anything of substance or anything original to say.

"I know you've probably heard this a billion times, but in my experience, it turned out to be pretty good advice." That's one way to deliver a platitude to somebody diplomatically and in a way that won't make it look like you're just regurgitating what everyone else says, which is what I immediately assume when you say stuff like "you just need confidence" or whatever, if you honestly just don't have any better advice to give.

It's not that your experiences don't count for anything, but the advice that you'd give to a relatively normal person is probably not the same advice you'd give to a weirdo like me. That's why I'd shoot it down. I was trying to get you to understand how my brain works so that you'd understand why your advice wouldn't necessarily work for me. I mean, you can't expect everything to work for me the same way it has for you. You understand that.

But it's absolutely true that I could've been less harsh when you were just trying to help out, especially when the advice wasn't completely unsolicited.

I guess, in your way, you feel like you did try. But it always felt like you wanted to able to argue about something else, or to prove a point. I remember I told you to watch something and you spent like the next 3 days shitting on it on and off in the server hahaha. I was like what the fuck. Just say it isn’t for you and move on. You’d always make things so negative.

Are you talking about Breaking Bad? You asked me to watch the show, so I eventually did, and I gave my honest thoughts about it. I wasn't into the first season, but it did get better, and I decided it was a pretty good show by the time I finished it.

To quit after a few episodes after deciding "it wasn't for me" is, to me, extremely fucking lame. Especially when you've been hyping it up like crazy, and obviously want to know what I think about it. I always give people my in-depth thoughts on stuff when they ask me to watch stuff. It's my way of giving back. If those thoughts happen to be negative, what's the big deal? I don't get it. I never shat on you for the recommendation, and if anything, it gives us the chance to have a discussion on what you personally liked about it so we can come to an understanding.

There's no way you actually see anything wrong with that, so I don't understand what this weird disconnect is.

I get that you’re full of anger about everything, even more than that I empathize with you. I don’t know man. You’re so hardline about everything. I remember when we all invited you to play that Half Life multiplayer mod and you were like “I don’t play mods”. Hahaha it’s like come on dude, lighten up a little. There were also a lot of times where you’d rarely post, but you’d inject yourself into a conversation just to let everybody know how much you disagree with what’s being discussed. This isn’t just me, a lot of people get this vibe from you and it’s off putting.

Well, I've softened my stance on mods and piracy and other game-related stuff recently, so there's that. If you asked me to play some Half-Life mod with you, I'd probably say "sure" (although the issue right now is that I don't even have a machine that could run it).

As far as "injecting myself into conversations," I don't really understand what the big deal is there either. I can't always be there at the very beginning of every discussion, man. And if I have something to say about a topic, I'm gonna say it. There shouldn't be anything wrong with that.

I’m not trying to insult you or judge you, I’m just saying you should take a look at how you’ve been acting all your life, look at the results, and think about if you want to keep getting those same results.

I agree with some of your suggestions, and disagree with some others. I still don't think I was ever that bad in the first place.
