Why do you put up with lemon? He's not pleasant to speak with. He doesn't add anything of value, to anything here. He isn't funny, or amusing. He abuses most of you. He doesn't display care for anyone or anything except himself. He derails my threads and tries to bully me like a 12 year old. His friends do the same. I can't do anything here without it being swamped in negativity. And yet not only do you allow this, you encourage it. This is how you all want it to be. This is the forum you want. I'm in the minority. I said to someone a little while back that if this forum didn't pull itself into a better shape, then I would likely leave. I've never been on the Flood to spam abuse or indulge some sort of childish aggression. This isn't fun for me, and that's all I've ever been here for: some light discussion/banter and fun. So the fact is that I'll probably leave before too long.That doesn't mean that they've 'won' or something like that. As I also said to that person, I win whether I stay or go. If I stay it's because the forum is a place where I can thrive and enjoy myself, which would mean that a lot more people would be frequenting here and enjoying themselves aside from the shit-flinging crowd. If I leave (and I don't mean to sound self-important here) this place will be a lot closer to collapsing into the grey, dull, unpleasant heap that it's currently sliding towards. I don't imagine that it will survive on just bitchiness and negativity for any appreciable amount of time. But maybe it's hatred for me that's holding it back, and with me gone it'll become friendlier and new, imaginative people will step in and take my place. That's perfectly possible. That'd be a win for me too, I really don't wish ill upon you guys. So, I'm not leaving just yet. But I'm virtually gone. You guys will decide what type of forum you want by your actions, and I'll roll with it.

well this is basically a forum filled with douchebags. They can be douchebags whilst following the rules and the ninjas dont exactly enforce thread derailment these days.*sips tea*
Lemon is and of itself, a persona. A persona that thrives on funposts and bamter. May e if you weren't so autistic you would have realized that by now.

I mean... you're you, lol. So I'll leave this exchange here.
Do you realize that by making this thread, it's only going to make him want to make fun of you even more?

It would only be an issue if said individual actually believes that their persona is who they are.
I just wanna fight lemon irl

I just want a resolution, I'm sick of having brief quiet periods where I can seemingly post normally, only for it to degenerate back into the same old bullshit again. It's a tease.

Physically, no, unless he spends all his time on his PC. Mentally, not really, its a means of blowing off steam, and escapism, or something done out of boredom. Doesn't make shitposting and trolling anymore right, but unless his reasons are deeply entrenched in psychological issues, then there is no harm in it for him.
