>Finally, look at Posey's excuse of "I've been overworked and frustrated lately" which has become a calling card of internet lolcows who got exposed for something bad. It's all about "me, me me" in that post. "I've been overworked and frustrated" (don't think about the other players who are overworked and frustrated, especially the autistic guy who's had his fun ruined). "Idk why I even joined so many at once" (my problem is that I don't have a good schedule, not having a bad attitude). "I really need to think harder about how I want to spend my limited free time left on this realm..." (sympathy-baiting, and again no mention of fixing bad behavior). "I do want to try Baldur's Gate 3..." (When being told not to treat co-op sessions like a singleplayer game, mentions said singleplayer game but not the problem of treating other players like video game characters).
These are all valid points. I could break them down with more detailed excuses/clarifications/explanations, but it wouldn't make a difference.
>Posey's player is very much aware of these issues and has singled him out like he is a middle school bully and an autistic kid just showed up.
Yeah, I guess that wasn't cool of me, at all.
But to put it from my experience, this is really how I've operated on chansites for my entire adult life. When someone seethes over posting cute ponies, my modus operandi has always been to respond with more cute ponies, because on my end, it's just posting ponies.
Yeah, it's wrong, but I also find it hard to relate to someone who claims to have been on /mlp/ for years and is somehow triggered so much by bat pics that he resorts to doxxing instead of just hiding/ignoring replies.
But I'm in the wrong. What I did was wrong. There's no two ways about it.
>narcissistic not-apologies to try to manipulate us to think it's okay
That isn't how I meant it, but I guess it's the impression that counts.
>He kept on with the joke for far too long until Brie's player bluffed a threat
Well, if you look closer, he actually made the threat immediately after the post where I conceded and said that was the last bat pic I was going to post.
Second, it was not a bluff. It was an actual threat. You can see his post on /test/. He knows information about fellow players through history and moderation position, and he knows at least two other players by name. He walked back his threat because it was so egregious, but the part about it being a bluff was a lie.
And I know my behavior was poor, but I also have reservations about roleplaying with someone who threatened to doxx people over a bunch of bat pony pics. Not just because it targets me, but because he is the kind of person who would threaten my friends in real life over being triggered by images of cute cartoon bats like some kind of 2014 era Tumblr SJW, instead of just closing the tab or hiding the posts like a civilized person. That admittedly makes me seethe with hatred.

I've been in multiple games like that, and from experience I would prefer it if people leave their mental health issues at the door.

We weren't playing that night. We were cuteposting about belly rubs in the OOC thread between sessions.
I concede that it doesn't give me license to make fun of people.

Of all the comments and responses I am contemplating, I am going to otherwise remain 'silent'; until I have sufficiently gathered my thoughts and I dont feel to be interrupting.
Other than to say I agree with this sentiment, and don't feel that this game is an appropriate place for me to 'exercise the demons' so to speak; fwiw I'm making a physical list of every misbehavior (on my part), what caused it, how I can avoid it in the future, and what failsafes are available.
It is tiresome; thats an explanation, not an excuse. You are right to not trust me after how I've behaved. I have the first name of one Anon, and a fair bit of info about another; without going jnto why, I would drive a state over in an emergency at a moment's notice for him. I'll conclude by saying - again an explanation - that while appearances may be deceiving (and with me, thats often deliberate) the idea that I would dox him is absurd. And the one name guy, I dont even know if hes in the same city anymore. I met him one time at a Waffle House and thats as much as I could ever tell about him.
Yes, I have an encyclopaedic memory of past experiences related to discord handles 'and such', no they are not relevant.

>returning to Mlpol (his idea, not mine).
I really don't know what kind of mental health professional would recommend that their patient spends more time arguing on chansites... I'm not a psychologist, but I think it may be counterproductive.
>I'm the sort of person who needs 'dealt with' in any sort 'particular' way
You know, I am sorry for provoking you.
But you also have to consider that it isn't our job to babysit you and stay wary of you "triggers". This is the first time I've heard the term "trigger" used unironically in the past decade, since I was trolling Tumblr SJWs in the GamerGate era.
Did you do this on /mlp/ and /pol/ too? /mlpol/ is a site that's idealistically supposed to be more hostile to thin-skinned people than 4chan, but realistically the parent boards have a lot more rudeness trolls who will try to mess with your head.
The same is true for /tg/ and /qst/. That's how chansites are.
>one off-hand comment and "target-aquisition computers are calculating every possible vector of apporpach, which we've identified 5 active probable maneuvers, moving to intercept, engage countermeasures.
You describe yourself like you're some sort of nuclear doomsday device, but you still want people to interact with you. How are we supposed to respond to that?
On 4chan, if you act like that, you would just get memed-on until you grow up, leave, or become a lolcow.
You have to compromise here. You have to be willing to operate in good faith with at least a fraction of the edgy shitposting and trolling atmosphere that a chansite is supposed to have.
I can try on my end, but meet me in the middle.

> Second, it was not a bluff. It was an actual threat. You can see his post on /test/. He knows information about fellow players through history and moderation position, and he knows at least two other players by name.
I think he’s talking about discord handles, which he does know. Being a moderator doesn’t give you magic knowledge. That’s not how it works. I do not think it was a legitimate threat.
He was making the empty threat because he thought it was the only way to make me and also the other players get you to stop deliberately targeting him.
> When someone seethes over posting cute ponies, my modus operandi has always been to respond with more cute ponies, because on my end, it's just posting ponies.
Yes. He picked the absolute dumbest fucking thing to get triggered over. It was impossible to take him seriously at first.
I don’t believe that his reaction was actually because the cute ponies pissed him off. What pissed him off is that he already believed that you had been targeting him, and your behavior that night confirmed that you had to me, to Garv, and to him. I read back through the thread. He said “stop” in unambiguous terms, and then you continued through multiple posts.
> I also find it hard to relate to someone who claims to have been on /mlp/ for years and is somehow triggered so much by bat pics that he resorts to doxxing instead of just hiding/ignoring replies.

It wasn’t about the bats. It was becau you had previously done the “bat aids” thing. Because you had done the “bite Brie’s cock off” thing just three nights before. Because of probably similar instances that Brie had noticed that I didn’t. Just that same morning, when we told him to stop being fucking cryptic and say what you mean, Brie’s player came out and said that his problem was that he believed that you had been targeting him and harassing him. Then this happened, and confirmed it. You even outright admitted it; you were “trolling him.” He’s not pissed off about the ponies. He’s pissed off that another player is harassing him with impunity. He chose the nuclear option because he thought that if he didn’t force the issue to a head, it would never stop.
I honestly don’t think his intent was to threaten you. I think his intention was to get the attention of me and the other players, so that way we’d make you stop doing the thing you’ve been doing consistently and with impunity for weeks.
Also, as stated, any kinds of threats going forward will not be tolerated, including ones I’ve let slide so far like “I’ll kill your character.” So this is not going to happen again.
>I've been in multiple games like that, and from experience I would prefer it if people leave their mental health issues at the door.
Allow me to rephrase. This will be an environment where he can have positive interactions with other people. This is not an environment where he can be hostile to other people. I’ll accept the good part of the manic. I will not accept the bad.

Actually, no, he read that accurately. I don't mean it literally, but in a sense thats an accurate analogy. As you accurately describe, I felt he was being enabled to abuse with impugnity; I felt if he was being allowed to push my buttons, I was allowed to push everyone's. I could blogpost about how this is a conditioned self defense mechanism that A. Incentivized people that I was not 'the one', whether it was bullies/abusers or the people with either the social or literal authority to do something about 'this', and B. Created a negative feedback loop that quite honestly I'm glad to have had to experience because now I have the presence of mind to be aware of it.

>I should be allowed to harass a specific player I don’t like because Chan culture is supposed to be about tough skin.
Okay, first of all, you are the pussy little bitch that blinked and couldn’t handle it. Every insult you gave, Brie gave back five fold. Every time you escalated it, he took it further. You are the one who blinked because you couldn’t handle a doxxing threat. Don’t you know that people who participate in social media flame wars on Twitter or 4chan get doxxed? That’s the stupid fucking game you want to play? Well that’s the stupid fucking prize you win. You go be a dumbass on social media, you get doxxed. You get what you fucking deserve. Brie has thicker skin than you.
Second, (You) don’t get to be the gate keeper of actions here. I do. This is mine. And I say that we aren’t stopping everything because you two want to have flame wars because you think that’s what Chan sites are for. I don’t care what you allege is acceptable on 4chan and what you claim you haven’t been kicked or banned for doing. I have let you two go at each other like the Teumessian fox and Laelaps. It’s not fun for me. Garv, Dark Star, and Dust have complained about it. I’m ending it.

That's not really how I meant it.
>You are the one who blinked because you couldn’t handle a doxxing threat.
Imo, that's the only appropriate way to handle a doxxing threat.
It wasn't even a threat to me. He has no information on me. I was just pissed off, and decided I didn't want to interact with him, at least not until the RP thread was updated. I think that's a reasonable response. I had other PbP games to post in, my own content I'm writing, and even a book I wanted to finish before the year.
Of course, I could have just doubled down and flamed even harder, like I was tempted to, but Dust's player was really bothered by it, so I decided to just fuck off.
>You go be a dumbass on social media, you get doxxed. You get what you fucking deserve.

The way you put it implies that walking away when a flame war turns ugly is a bad/cowardly thing. Is that really what you're saying? Was I supposed to double down? Threaten to dox him? Just continue flaming?

I’m saying don’t go up to someone, punch them in the face, and then act morally appalled when they pull out a knife. The game you so willingly play (the dumbass online trolling game) is not one that you get to referee or define the limits of. Jesus Christ. “He cries in pain as he strikes you” comes to mind.
>I have better things to do than to be here with you all
Then do those things instead of intentionally posting things to cause Brie’s player to spreg, so that way we don’t have to suffer through the sperginh (again). Let us be in peace.

While not speculatively accusing, its plausible if left unaddressed, "bites off Brie's cock" leads to later jibes about dicklessness; not hard to imagine, and thats only one set of 'shitposts' that make one player's experience turn very dark and mean real quick, and the people around still laughing and having fun gets hard to resent. I see how the pattern plays out even if no actual malice is intended. I know (ish) how to get through it without losing my shit.
Trust me, its fucking embarrassing to be a grown ass man admitting to being triggered and having unironic triggers ESPECIALLY around here.

In any other context, I wouldn't care about a doxxing threat. You think I haven't had that before? I "blinked" because unlike you I have a sense of boundaries, and respect for Dust's player, who was very bothered by it. But of course you don't care about him.

No, but I would be morally appalled if they used that knife to take a random grandma on the street hostage.

It wasn't going to burn me. He was threatening other players. I'm not afraid of him at all, but I don't like niggers who would take unrelated people hostage for their bullshit.

He knows a LOT more about you and some of the other players than you might be aware of, a lot more than what you would be comfortable with if you knew....
I kno because he mentioned it me, despite my unwillingness to humor it, in DMs. DMs that I would have preferred to ignore, but it has been repeatedly brought up anyway despite my protests.
>harassment
You know, this really goes both ways...
Months before he even joined, he was pinging me in DMs calling out my roleplay posts in thread, and trying to make me feel terrible about playing this game? Saying that he felt "betrayed" and "disappointed" in me from my participation, and taking it personally because he hates (You) and wanted to punish me by proxy. He would always randomly ping me for not contacting him, shame/goad me into oversharing information about my personal struggles, or give me unsolicited shitposts about the progress of his fursuit; and then he would act judgemental and mean spam-pinging me because I dared to play a PbP game on this site, or because he didn't feel appreciated that evening, or because he was drunk, or because a meme I sent in an attempt to be friendly didn't meet his artistic standards. And that's when he wasn't trying to drag me into another one of his passive-aggressive pissing contests with the site mods over stuff that still angers him from 7 years ago. I eventually just blocked him outright because his behavior devolved into the same sort of cryptic spam he shits up these threads with, where he gives vague mildly ominous suggestions of what he thinks, and then acts offended if you don't immediately understand what he's thinking.
And then, after having told me that he was done with tabletop games forever, he joined this game, after shaming me for playing with you, and then started shitting up these threads with the same kind of cryptic spam and taking memes personally, bringing all that touchy unfun negativity with him.
He's been obnoxious, unfun, and unapproachable since before he joined this game, going crazy if you try to interact with him, or if you neglect to interact with him. He also refuses to allow me to approach the game from an anonymous angle. Every single session he references things from DMs or prior games that nobody ever asked for.
I have for the longest time tried to appease his schizoid persona, but I realized that that was a fool's errand with no way to win, so I just defaulted to treating him like I would treat any other touchy faggot on /qst/.
And I know that's the wrong way to approach it, but I have my own problems that I'm working on.

Can you just not fucking start the fight that ends in the grandma getting shanked?
You start these fights and throw gasoline on them. They aren’t fun for us.
> It wasn't going to burn me. He was threatening other players. I'm not afraid of him at all, but I don't like niggers who would take unrelated people hostage for their bullshit.
And I don’t like when you take my whole game hostage because you want to provoke him to start a fight
> He knows a LOT more about you and some of the other players than you might be aware of, a lot more than what you would be comfortable with if you knew....
Well that’s unsettling
> he was pinging me in DMs calling out my roleplay posts in thread
That’s unsettling, but I can’t control discord. I would like to leave discord drama on discord as much as we can.
>I eventually just blocked him outright because his behavior devolved into the same sort of cryptic spam he shits up these threads with
Problem solved
> He's been obnoxious, unfun, and unapproachable since before he joined this game, going crazy if you try to interact with him, or if you neglect to interact with him. He also refuses to allow me to approach the game from an anonymous angle.
These are all fair. Please allow me to deal with them. Whatever you do, please don’t deliberately harass him. You make it worse. I am going to be more proactive than before.
> Every single session he references things from DMs or prior games that nobody ever asked for.
I am ending this.
> I just defaulted to treating him like I would treat any other touchy faggot on /qst/.
No. We are not going to do this.
>I’ve tried to appease his schizoid persona
Please don’t try to be the bogey man to him. That isn’t fun for us.

>We weren't playing that night. We were cuteposting about belly rubs in the OOC thread between sessions.
Other parts of this post have been addressed, but I can tell you that we absolutely were. We had all the players lined up and we were waiting on the GM to kick things off. Then this popped off and it made the entire game unplayable. It's not just a danger to a single gaming night either. Both Dark Star and Sven have returned after a long hiatus and don't want any more drama. Dust has expressed that he gets physically ill from the drama. Brie is the deliberate target and is also back from a hiatus. Silver's player and myself seem intent on sticking "through thick and thin" so to speak, but that would leave only us and (you) to continue the game, in the midst of a group quest. I could not blame them for leaving either. Risking four out of seven players leaving isn't worth it for "le ebin trolling."
>>184620
>DMs
This is all stuff you should talk over privately with GM Pone. Obviously this gets too personal to share with the rest of us, let alone any casual reader.

Just to clarify: I know factoids. I know what one of your jobs is. I know what another's field of study was, several years ago. I know how old another is. I know the TYPE of business one USED to work at.
I know tiny bits about each - much of which is out of date - but not enough to even be able to get a sophisticated AI to figure out who anyone is. I wouldn't try regardless, but you can't 'know' that so I appreciate why it seems so effective a threat, and I will admit to have made the threat with conscious awareness of all of this. I acknowledge this to be highly toxic behavior. There is no justification.

I hope to provide clarity/honesty at this point, most emphatically/expressly where the fault is mine, but am ready to kiss and make up (not trying/inviting making it weird e_e)

One final thought, appreciating you don't/shouldn't believe me. It was your willingness to play and my inability to comprehend that was the Archduke Ferdinand catalyst that led to me currently being present for one, and in therapy with actual necessary medication, fwiw.
Not that adderal is being made sufficiently available e_e, but a clinical diagnosis alongside a perception of 'normalcy' I didnt know existed has been gamechanging. That there exist medications that can grant me a sensation of calm control when I can't manage on my own is likewise, and having someone who is - while expensive - sufficiently qualified to address my list of overdue magazines while giving me the space to speak emphatically, justifiably, and comprehensibly to someone who ISNT a mind-virus, is doubly huge.

Being that the assassination of Archduke Ferdinand kicked off WW2, what I at the time wanted to pretend was the assassination of the person I had anticipated you to be led to a whole lot of introspection that led me to a variety of conclusions, most namely how wrong I had been about y'all among a whole lot of other things, including the necessity to talk to a professional about what I am told is a personal background it is statistically impossible to not have unresolved issues about, and I trust that it isnt just profit motive when he says that.

Also quick word. He didn't say I should go shitpost on chansites, Ive mentioned all of you in the context of online gaming. He had the presence of mind to observe... things I was allowing myself to overlook about how important y'all are, to so readily mention you so often, especially about times I was happy
