And I'm sorry you went through that, Haven.
Although it still feels weird being critical of him, because, well, I should be eternally grateful to him for making that site in the first place.
I mean it, by the way.
But seriously, his reactions are quite immature and abrasive. Heh, if he was a common troper I suspect he would be banned long time ago, as he is anything but "friendly and civil".
Someone oughta tell him a thing or two.
I kind of doubt it would've, no.
Kinda sad, really. I have to wonder what Eddie's gone through to make him act like this. He was certainly not always like this.
The forums were, believe it or not, intellectually stimulating at one point. They even had interesting people.
Only creepy stuff I ran into was on Writers Block and OTC.
Heh, semi-related, but I remember when the "civil and friendly forum" banner appared, and how people freaked out and put "mind control" avatars. At that time, I've argued that there is nothing to worry about and that they are overreacting. How naive I was.
There are people who will take anything they find at all abnormal and file it under "creepy" because they have a small vocabulary.
It's incredibly annoying, honestly.
In retrospect, it does seem so. Only this time, people are not freaking out, and instead appear to want more enforced conformity.
Which honestly baffles me... did userbase change so quickly?
No, see that's "insane".
No, but more seriously. I have seen things called creepy that....aren't. Gross? Sure. Repulsive? Seen some stuff that might qualify.
I don't know. Things that are disparate being put into the same category bothers me. Except when it doesn't.
WHY AM I AWAKE RIGHT NOW.
Well that's another thing, in my mind at least "creepy" isn't really necessarily a bad thing.
I mean, I know a lot of frankly creepy people, but I don't dislike them.
Maybe that's just me.
See, who the hell are we talking about here?
Because this annoys me to no end. There're never any names or even any activities associated, just this big vague blob of "Creepy People" (TM).
His problem was being a misogynistic whiny attention whore.
Troper Tales was cut for a reason.
OTC was bad, but its badness is often exaggerated.
Chagen was a prick and that is the long and short of it. There is really nothing left to discuss about the man.
Fusionman I had some unfortunate (and entirely unrelated to his larger forum problems) experiences with. Man liked to play some odd RP characters.
...I kinda wonder if people think of me as "The bondage guy", this doesn't help things.
Naney, I don't know what kind of bondage you're into.
That alone is enough for you to not be "the bondage guy".
I know people who have written essays on breast binding.
It's the only thing anyone ever mentions. Long story short, he was unpleasant to be around.
Sort of like how everyone only remembers rallyfan for being A REBEL THAT WON'T FOLLOW THE RULES instead of the actual reason he got banned, which was being a prick about avatars.
