vcharon, I think part of it is that you always conduct yourself in a very 'proper' way so it's fun for people who conduct themselves in a casual way to try to 'rustle your jimmies', as my friend would put it. like, no offense or anything, but i've never seen you use a colloqualism ever. it just seems like you're really formal all the time >.>

FFD is clearly not going to take control of the situation outside of banning the rallied offenders and therefore you must take control of it yourself by getting over it and moving on.

For the record, KP's pic was a lighthearted joke. Maria's fanfic was nothing- NOTHING worth getting that upset over. In fact, by "quitting" you are literally letting him win. Is that what you want? The one time we can give this contest a legitimate good winner (or runner up or fifth place or what have you) do want to stand idly by and look back on it unfondly as the run that got away when he fails without your help?

For the record, I wasn't "upset" by the fanfic or anything. Really the Pshop was more annoying because he actually fooled someone into believing it was real and I had no real choice but to defend myself. Not responding would have been nice and I might have otherwise, but yeah what's done is done. I wish I wasn't such a soft-shelled baby but I crack every so often.

This has been such a horrible week. I had to resign as a staff member from my MK website because I simply could not deal with the new direction it was being taken, and I could not watch some pompous jerk burn almost 10 years of my life's work to the ground in a few months. I was already very upset before today even started, so I should have figured I'd do something I'd regret on the board tonight.

It just all compounded, and in the face of so much hostility (or perceived hostility) I am going to show my poorest personality trait.

But you guys really don't get it. It is an excuse, yep. It is. I agree with everything you have said, and I have said it myself several times before. I am not naive or ignorant to the reasons why. Look at you all; you are popular users, beloved by the general populace. Easy to shrug off insignificant gnats like Vlado. But me? The majority dislikes me (that knows me). If they don't dislike me, then they simply don't know me at all and just enjoy upsetting me.

I regret Tidus not having my support when he is so strong this year, but look at that contest Gen. Just look at it. Unless FFD takes control over it, he had might as well not run the thing at all. None of the results are going to be legitimate and the atmosphere is pure poison. Do you really think it is worth it to me to continue to vote in a contest where dozens of people outright dislike me so a character who probably could not win the final round can get there? Is me having to put up with this **** every day worth that?


I once finished below the jp in User of the Year.

Literally. Below JP. That I survived being crushed by his weight is a f***ing miracle.

You basically made a bad impression on people a while ago, and while you haven't done anything actively bad for a while, you continue to keep that reputation going by being...passively bad, I guess? By responding to the trolling with melodramatic "quit" threats or some other ridiculous response, that just perpetuates people's negative opinion of you.

Here's what you do:

Joke along with people and just be casual about it. It will change eventually. It will. You might not think it will but it will.
Ignore it completely. Don't make a melodramatic threat to leave and expect people to feel sorry for you. Only douchebags do that. It makes people think less of you and makes them more likely to troll you.

The way you deal with these situations is the worst possible way of dealing with them. The worst. You bring a lot of it on yourself and it's a shame.

Wait, that trash can have a "legitimately good winner"?

Oh and one more thing I think you're not quite getting.

If somebody annoys you IRL you might be tempted to rant and rave at them or punch them in the face, essentially letting their "trolling" antics work.

Online you have so much time to consider what you're doing before you post a message. SO MUCH TIME to realize that the way you're responding is just going to make things worse (or it's certainly not going to make things better). Use it.

charon, you should probably just sleep on this. I'm sure you'll feel better about this whole situation in the morning but if you still want to leave by then I'm not going to stop you. I'm not going to beg you to stay and keep saving Tidus and Scar because hell, that would be selfish of me to beg you to continue to do things both of us enjoy. I'm not even going to ask you politely to stay, as I think this will be the third time I've done it in two months. I can't baby you every time you get your feelings hurt over the smallest thing because I'm not your mammy dude. All I can do is tell you that to get a thicker skin you have to take a few punches.

I have tried that this contest XIII, and generally it was going pretty well until lately. I've cracked, and I fully admit it. I like to lay it off on other things but I should be able to handle this better. I have probably made several people who regarded me as someone they like to speak with someone they would rather not. At the same time though, I mean I do "get" this. Everyone has their own set of quirks and bad traits.

I will just have to keep trying to work on it I suppose. I appreciate the responses here though, if I was really hated then no one would even have bothered I guess.

This will happen again and he will have this same conversation again, that's the stupid thing here.

Lots of people disliking you is bad but it's something that you can easily fix.

You mean your love of Dig A Little Deeper isn't actually because you are Mama Odie? I've been deceived >_>

It could I admit, but I hope it doesn't. Your advice is sound and correct. It is also what I know, yet I still sometimes do this. But it has been happening less often than it used to, so I think I am making some sort of progress at least.

My best advice would be to get a girlfriend. You won't care about anything that happens on here then.

Also stop yelling at me. You should know by now that makes me less inclined to listen to you.

I've seen you get railed on multiple occasions charon. All of the ones I've seen have one thing in common.

This only (or majorly) seems to happens to you in Save My topics. Think about that. Exit the Save My's and you'll be smelling like peaches.

You're right. It was more snark than yelling. I equate them about equally on the 'stop it stop it' scale though!

It really is just *that* one though. Generally I enjoy playing the games on here (hence why I run them). I'll admit it used to actually be about the contest (the reason why I'd say something) but that really isn't even it anymore. I think that's just where people know I'll be at.
