Pardon my inexcusable multi-post that's about to occur, but here's a majority of the conversation from yesterday evening. Incriminating myself mostly, but again, it started out as essentially defending myself (I missed the screenshot of where he blatantly called me stupid, but that's directly after I said it was rude to harass kids for him being his age). Up until then, I was merely lobby-sitting while watching those two go at it. Really, I've just had enough of him getting away with insulting people for the past 8 months since I joined. Yeah, he got temp ban, but with all of the things he's said, etc., I'm sure it's warranted more. He's worse than what I presume many of you consider to be the 'Big 3,' of which I only know 2 (sorry, Lance, never got to see ya). KBF isn't as bad as he is and neither is Ratsmasher, just sayin'. No, these aren't screenshots of him being the worst he's been, but you know what? This is the "tamest," if I can even use that as an adjective to describe him, he's been since I've joined.
This next one is him saying he's never attacked me. Directly after it are things that were unprovoked (just a few examples that I could find in my extensive archive of VW screenshots; also, the second one, the last time I checked, quoting someone in your signature isn't against the rules
).
And now back to your regularly scheduled program, everyone.
This next one is after he brought up how he "was forced" out of the Knights. The second screenshot is a PM I sent directly after he announced he was leaving. Karen also said that she PMed him, but obviously I don't have that screenshot. Also, the offhanded insult to Beatlesfan is another example of him saying something unprovoked (obviously).
And again, back to the entertainment! (This next one is him accusing me of having another account before I created this one and apparently having proof, but he never gave it; the second one is after, once again, I asked for said proof)
This is him telling me he's never insulted me before in the lobby (proof is up above for ONE of the occasions)
And then we're coming to the finish!
His antics of baiting (though he'll never say it is, because
obviously only
he can be baited, right?) and then claiming to be the victim is tiresome, redundant, and to be frank, flat out stupidly ignorant. He's the biggest troll on the forums and in-game. His language may be less full of cursing since his ban, but he's still the same person and still spewing the same insults. He's got nothing to go on other than what he stalked the forums for while he was banned. He's obviously obsessed with the game, but maybe, JUST MAYBE, it'd be good to get him over that obsession, eh? I don't see why the cyberbully should be allowed to continue to do so when it's blatantly obvious to everyone that this is all he does (save for the 1% of the time he doesn't, but how rare is that, huh). Just because he's an old man with no job or second leg or friends besides his dog and wife (does she actually exist, or is she a figment of his imagination?) doesn't justify him harassing people DAILY. The mods may not see it, but everybody else who is on when he is sees it consistently.
Frankly, he's part of the reason some newbies don't stay. He thinks everybody is somebody else (as evidenced by him telling me I'm someone I have no idea who it is) and then insults them based on that. He's prided himself in "never backing down" and "making people quit." Why is that something that you should allow to continue in a game that you DON'T WANT TO DIE? Hmm?
Just some things to think about.
So go ahead and ban me for something I did once over 8 months ago. But if I go down, I'm sure as hell not going down alone.
