there’s this fat piece of shit named Evan that wont leave my head. He’s screaming “ITS ME” but it’s probably becasue he listens to too much taylor swift

Yeah you’re not wrong, I can’t speak for Andrew but because the site mods are well aware of his history (he’s been temporarily banned at least once and they’ve actively been involved in trying to work out a fair way forward when there are obvious complicating circumstances with neurodivergence) the important part for me is pointing out the new information and how it fits in the general trend. It’s bad behaviour sure, but it reinforces that he hasn’t changed or learned despite the chances he’s been given, and we’d rather not wait for another big incident
Edit: yeah seems we’re on the same page. Also afaik one or two of the external things (transphobia ban) might be new info because they happened off-site, but I’ve been away from here for a bit so maybe they’re already documented

Posts inflammatory things
Insults/puts down other
Told to stop and doesn’t
Goes on socials and continues
Create an entire thread dedicated to him and the way he acts
Congrats! You gave him exactly what he wants, either get the mods to deal with him or mute him on your end, if someone is looking for attention and being obnoxious, just don’t give them what they want. If it bothered hoyt that much they could stop him from being able to comment on their posts within 30 seconds on the Instagram app, if his comments annoy you that much (I’ve never had a problem with him) just mute him on the forum.

TBF my position used to be “just mute him” too but after a certain point it’s not that he’s done something horrible to me, it’s that he’s making the place worse and it’s worth acknowledging. I nearly got chased off here in my first couple of months because some guy decided to be a homophobe and a troll, but a good few people spoke up in threads and it all got the mods attention. If they’d had the same approach that he wasn’t doing much to them but was just annoying I’d have been left to myself and felt like shit.
This isn’t 100% the same because he’s not really attacking a specific person but he’s definitely part of the reason some active users got discouraged or a casual browser didn’t bother signing up, and from personal experience it makes a difference if people call out bad behaviour so folks on the receiving end know it’s not their fault

I understand what you’re saying and in an ideal world it would work, but from what people in this thread have posted, it seems like people have tried talking to him before and getting him to change and he just won’t, my first solution was to get the mods to take care of him, give an ultimatum, shape up or ship out. Muting him is more of a personal solution, if he really bothers you, its something within your control, nothing else really is, he will act how he wants, and as long as the mods don’t do anything there is nothing you can do besides just mute him.

Personally, having being called out by Andrew for being a shit cunt several times before, I appreciate being told that i’m being a shit cunt as it gives me a chance to reflect and improve myself and my behaviour.
People would do better to reflect on their behaviour when called out, rather than just getting their backs up and crying the victim.

yes and no. Apparently I burned so much oil it did damage to the engine, but it’s still running ok and it doesn’t;t seem to be consuming any oil, so I blame the mechanic because this is America.

Also, can confirm that the neurodivergent excuse has been used and has worked on me. Mostly it worked because I am also neurodivergent and have a very difficult time managing my responses to things, as anyone who watched me fight with @DerelictRobot back when would know. I’m not an instigator, though. I tend to finish things other people start.

I rather like phonebooths. Better than listening to some cunt on a bluetooth rant maniacally in front of everyone.

My corner liquor store has a big sign “get off your phone!” because this was a big issue.
I always found it rude to converse on tele while being rung up.
Where else are you going to talk about the weather with a stranger?
