Happy birthday, Ben!

[Ice Cream Jonsey]

Fuck, Jonesy bought him a giant bag of poison just to piss me off - some friend! Helping kill him just to make a point with someone else! I guess that, as he loses more limbs, his sight, and whatever eventually kills him, his last thoughts while he lies insensate and motionless in a hospital bed in a shitty hospital being badly cared for, his last thought will be "Thanks, Jonesy, for the candy!" So while you may all consider it a big joke, spare me the holier-than-thou "we love him" bullshit. Friends don't kill their friends.

I didn't buy him that to piss you off. It had nothing to do with you. Nobody accepted your premise that we were "killing him" by sending him some food. That was something you made up in your head and you couldn't believe the rest of us didn't fall in line and immediately change our behaviors to suit you.

Do you have any idea how goddamn fucking ARROGANT and CONDESCENDING it is to come to some place and immediately declare that a thing a community was doing - a community that was getting along just fine without you - is "killing someone" and then when everyone chose to peacefully ignore it instead of making it a topic, keep bringing it up? You said your viewpoint and nobody engaged with you but jesus fuck, you couldn't let it go, you had to bring it up over and over again.

You were right before in that I had no problem with you (and I still don't) but I can't take the constant strife any more so I am disabling your account. You insulted every single person here for no reason.

I'm always left out of community events.

On the other hand, my previous account is no longer the last one to have been banned from JC.

You never got banned. You said you were going to go kill yourself and you set your email and password to be something you couldn't access.

Wait. I never banned Draal. Did I? Maybe I did. I didn't mean to.

[RetroRomper]

Aardvark did as I was the forum equivalent of the Meth junkie who is using only because he's deeply schizophrenic and is unable to afford or be in a stable place to have access to their medication. This was on top of my doing the One Thing that would spoil The Thing game for everyone. To be personal for a bit, I was in an awful situation and... I won't get into it, but I wasn't in the best state of mind.

So I forced your hand and had him ban me.

[RetroRomper]

Also...

Happy Birthday Ben! I don't express this often because it feels like I'm being far far too personal to a point where it's creepy and strange, but I've spoken to you indepth about life, philosophy, love, passion, desire and our place in this Universe, giving me a perhaps more detailed and nuanced perspective into the person you were. The person you've become is such an outgrowth of you working on being a better everything (Father, Husband, slave to your Doggie Overlords) that it's amazing and heartening to see how you've helped yourself.

You're a wonderful guy and I'm glad in the knowledge that you've found a way to make that a sustainable, ongoing form of existence.

Thank you for being who you are.

Oh yeah, you ruined a game that took a lot of effort for everyone and something that everyone was enjoying. That was awful of you. I'm restoring that thread Billy started tomorrow so you can think about what you've done.

Am I the only one who has absolutely no idea what the, ahem, "discussion" between Jonsey and RetroRomper is about? I don't want to call it a fight, but it seems to be close to that.

Also, did anyone else notice Finn doing a slight change in being less nasty in some threads to downright informative? I have a suspicion he was aware he was on thin ice and tried a weaksauce attempt to clean up his act. I mean, as badly as he acted even I was willing to give him (perhaps too many) opportunities to reform. I think I'll raise this separate issue in a separate thread about people being self defeating and/or self destructive.

Look man, I'm just trying to not get aggressively sexually assaulted.

[Billy Mays]

You guys just need to fuck. Finn this and Finn that, it's disgusting, the guy was an ass to you and when you thought he wasn't being an ass to you that's just because you didn't recognize how he was being an ass to you. Just fuck and get it out of your system.

[RetroRomper]

Feel free to keep trying.

No, Pinback is the one who's into gay sex (One of his messages to someone said, "Ima buttfuck ya!")

it's disgusting, the guy was an ass to you

Again, I'm not into gay sex, direct such ideas to the appropriate party.

and when you thought he wasn't being an ass to you

Can you "lay off" the gay sex stuff for a while? (double pun score!)

that's just because you didn't recognize how he was being an ass to you. Just fuck and get it out of your system.

I've never had that sort of interest. My concern was of a different kind. I'm trying to understand why someone acts like that. Since, despite the obvious fact that if you insult your audience you'll lose them, he still did that, sabotaging his own interests, the question is, why?

Now, first, "why?" implies reason and rationality, if there is neither, the question need not be asked. But Finn clearly was not crazy. He also was not stupid, some of his comments were well thought out. But, it's like every time he said something, he had to insult the person he was directing the comment to, as if trying to get positive attention for doing good things wasn't enough, he had to get negative attention for doing bad things.

That sort of attitude is self-destructive, or a sign of lashing out, as if to respond for something. So I could be wrong when I suspected he had a bad childhood (he claims he did not), but you have to wonder, if he had a wonderful life, what triggers the bad behavior? And that was what I was trying to understand.

I mean, this was a guy who presumably had a job, presumably had found a woman willing to be intimate with him (or presumably she would not have agreed to get married to him, unless it was for economic or legal reasons.) Yet he was this clearly miserable person by his inability to be civil, as well as all the other things he accused other people of, which were almost always his own traits.

So presumably he had a normal middle-class life and a wife who loves him, and yet he's still incredibly mean, rude and insensitive.

I'm thinking maybe I'm overthinking this, maybe there are just some people that turn out nasty even though there's no real reason they should be that way.

[Billy Mays]

the question is, why?

I already told you "why", everyone here told you "why", he's reading your posts right now (eat shit, Finn) and laughing like a maniac. Just talk about atheism or something or have your three way with Finn and Bo and get it out of your system, I don't care anymore.
