I got in the hugest dramafest with some bitch on eljay, the crux of which was that she accused me of sending thousands of PMs to her (so much she had to ban me from her journal.) In fact I had only ever sent her one. It had two words in it. "Too much?"
Anyway when she was asked to produce even one of these harassing PMs I'd sent, she couldn't be assed to make one up, and said she had deleted them all. So.
I automatically assume that Tom is lying about
1) the PMs being offensive
2) the PMs existing at all
Fess, LK!
The most recent batch are below, consisting of two from him and two from me. The second, two line response from me is not available because I forgot to save it before I called it a night and got banned. Lucky for him and his just cause, I saved the last few in anticipation of being permabanned. The ellipsis is the actual beginning of his post (that's how they do it in the big leagues), and I only added one word that was obviously missing to my response and left all of the shitty pompous wording intact.

I can continue to post on the forum and just ignore you to avoid getting into whatever spats get kicked up, but I'd rather not. However, if there's anything you're angry about that I've said or done, I honestly don't know what it is. I wish you would tell me so that I can either explain or apologize. I like having you as a part of this community, and if there's any way I can also consider you a friend instead of someone to steer clear of, I'd like that even better.

So I responded by flaming the shit out of him as follows:
Somewhere along the way, it feels like we stopped having honest disagreements. I don't agree with what you say about some things, and that's fine. We use hyperbolic exclamations when we say things, and that's the nature of things. But it really felt like you were taking the ad hominems to another level by dismissing my posts as rote nonsense or madness, or some variation thereof. It's not some silly whim of mine that spurs me to dislike Hurt Locker, and it's not for the purposes of provocation that I ask questions about the opposition to some war games and not others. It is a topic in which I am deeply, personally invested for a variety of reasons, and it sucks to be treated like a troll when it could just be a question of agreeing to disagree.
I have actively avoided you since the ban, precisely because I value the community at qt3 and wanted to avoid further problems. For instance, Qt3 was the only place that I wrote publicly about my experiences in Iraq, and from my perspective that's a pretty serious commitment. It may seem weird from your view, but there it is. And yet you kept calling me out, mentioning my name in the same breath as Jose Liz as if there was anything comparable. So I stepped aside, and took it, but I always noticed when you called me out.
So there it is. If you feel I'm dishonest or crazy, then this is the time to tell me and call it a day. I don't know what changed in the tenor of our discussions but something definitely did, and I'm not entirely sure what triggered it other than me sticking to my point of view in my traditionally unpleasant manner.
Quite naturally, he responded with:

I don't know about dishonest or crazy, but certainly oversensitive and incapable of taking what you dish out. If that means you want to "call it a day", whatever that means, so be it. I'd hate to lose you from the forum, but I'd understand.

This has been a recurring problem, and not just with me. I hope you'll give it some thought if you decide to stick around.
-Tom
Note: traditionally unpleasant manner was bolded by Tom in his quote/reply.
A CORRECTION THAT WAS A LONG TIME COMING IF I DO SAY SO MYSELF. So I responded something to the effect of "Ok, then, we are at an impasse, how about you go your way and I'll go mine" and an accompanying parting shot in the hurt locker thread, and after a few agonizing hours of pounding girl drinks at the local Chili's (my hypothesis) he opted for the perma ban. I'd most recently destroyed him in the Six Days in Fallujah thread as well as during his brief but impassioned defense of Robert Novak's corpse but they were always revolving around the Hurt Locker, and if it had to be any thread that made him throw the ultimate shit fit, it might as well be that one.
Within a day, I had my first mmorpg subscription (I don't even like Star Trek) and had commented on not one but two facebook pictures. ROCK BOTTOM. It's entirely possible he may continue to self destruct all over his forum (living room) as he's been doing since it happened, and by many estimations as he's been doing for the last couple of years since he decided to wrest WJ Au's crown away from him. Be sure and keep up with his Bioshock 2 coverage, as he recounts how it has the best ______ since Schafer crapped out Brutal Legend. Also, I know I'm a huge pussy, but KEEP YOUR EYES ON THE BALL DAMMIT. |
