User blog:GuacamoleCCXR/An Epilogue by Aravis

''Disclaimer: Contents of this blog will be heavily advocated by me, but I haven't written them. Just pointing that out to avoid confusion.'' "Yay. So, in the gorgeous aftermath of screaming at you all and ragequitting chat, I cried for two short minutes and then disabled my account. “OMG such overreaction for a bit of drama,” the community collectively reacts. Yuppers. Well, not really. Actually, it is just a bit of drama. But I am seriously not going to sit back and let a user be allowed to attack everyone, without trying to amend things somehow.

So, I attempted to mend the situation. I probably did make a mistake here by not carrying out the conversation in a PM, but I hadn’t considered the likelihood that my advise would be so rudely thrown back at me. Which, seeing who I was talking to, it was. I should have expected it, I suppose, but I was giving the user in question the benefit of the doubt and a chance to be civil.

What I told this user was that lately he had been getting rather upset about things he wasn’t meant to take offence to, and that cooling down and perhaps stopping the habit of taking everything as a personal attack might do him well. And, as you can guess, it didn’t work. If I recall correctly, I was called a hypocrite. That is true at points, but as far as I can honestly see in myself, it was not true at this point. Please correct me if I am wrong, though.

So, things went back and forth, becoming more heated each time, but I attempted to keep my temper and continued to press my point.

It didn’t work, the person with whom I was conversing continued to overreact and insist on being left alone for he was “misunderstood.” Not that he even tried to make us understand, but no, he took the liberty to continue his destructive behaviours.

After too much of this I pretty much decided not to put up with this useless behaviour of his, and yeah, I got mad (but hey, I didn’t even use pony swears! yay for me). A bit more arguing, then I apologised for my personhood and closed chat (rather vocally). I’m really not sorry for losing my temper. I suppose I should be, because getting so angry takes me down to the level of the one whom I was talking to, but I’m not. Let’s distort a phrase and call it “righteous anger.”

If this one user can continually rage at others, personally attack anyone he wishes, not even peacefully recieve any help, and continually get away with it, what has this place come to? (Yeah, just about the level of justice as the rest of the internet.) It’s not a place I want to stay, to put it in short. Not even a semblance of justice is carried out on someone who’s regularly disrupting many others around him? And you let it go on? Great. Do that if you want, but I don’t have to participate in that.

You ask why I didn’t tell an admin. Or the ArbCom (as if that is even used?). To point out how one user is causing trouble? What could be done, besides a good long block? (As if the leaders of the wiki ever do that.) Nothing, besides trying to talk to the offending user. And all that would happen is the same explosion that I recieved, I guess. Good thing that it only happened to me instead of someone who’s actually important.

So, yeah, I disabled my account. Rys, you win. Everyone, I don’t entirely care anymore. Go on with your rampant unfairness. Or fix it, maybe, but I doubt that’s happening.

I’ll probably succumb and return sometime, but for now I just can’t stand you, LMBW."
