Binkley@GrandNagus?Something?

He's been on esd mumbling the past two nights about you making little girl alts and Erping, mumbling about you tweeting the ddoser guy, whining about Spock, babbling about dental being homophobe racists, linking some weird scrunched up screenshot of riven I think talking to a pubbie in chat about st Olivia, and repeating 'good times' over and over and over. A bunch of pubbies ignored him for spamming.

He also said he lives in San Diego and wants goons to visit him so he can beat us up, after I invited him to STLV next year.

He was also talking about how he hurt his collarbone and is taking some pain pills he got from somone and drinking.

He was drunk and high the whole time he was spamming the forums.

I do have xean's sto forum OP saved, I think it was just the first couple paragraphs of his Reddit one though.

After crosis banned him from his channel, xean blew him up with so many PMs he had to just ignore him.

When stee1max banned him from TheTradingChannel, he got PM spammed so bad he changed it from a 1 month ban to a permanent and also ignored him.

There is still a meltdown happening on the ghosted reddit thread. One pubbie is VERY mad at me.

quote:

I'm not looking to have a civil conversation. I've got no beef with the rank and file in your fleet -- it's a big fleet -- but you're human filth and I have no desire for understanding, civility, or lolz with you.

I really just look forward to the day that I eventually hear how your jackassery eventually backfires on you IRL. I hope it ends up with something simple like you getting doxed and a police investigation into your bullshit antics. But, frankly, if somethingawful went down tomorrow, I would show up at a friend's house with cake and champagne. It would be a sign of nothing but good things for the human race if all of somethingawful (or 4chan) went down and never came back up.

It was posted by the bardbrain guy who was the ONLY guy in the thread taking Xean's side, so you know there's something wrong there.

That's how these things tend to happen, really. Linamia destroyed his own little erp-empire. Lake freaked out in the trading channel over nothing and pissed that entire group off. Skybuck posted that weird-rear end video of his modded client and got himself banned. None of these are things we directly instigated.

It's something the really terrible, crazy parts of the STO playerbase haven't picked up on yet. We don't need to destroy them, or put any serious effort into helping it along - they always do it themselves.

You might not be wrong, seeing how worked up he's getting over Romulans in the new ship thread:

Protogoth posted:

Does our Capitol City have a name? Only the one which I proposed, which has been widely accepted by RRF players, but never made official by Cryptic, giving rise to claims from the malcontent RSE supporters and Tal'Shiar sympathizers to post The Big Lie over and over again that the Capitol is nothing more than "D'Tan's Grand Imperial Palace," even when confronted by screenshots showing the outer wall of the city with Foreman Kylor saying "We're building a new city here ..." and concept art showing the CITY as it should look when finished.

Do we have our own club/bar/mess hall at ch'Mol'Rihan? No, but the darling privileged spoiled Feds got a new one -- which almost nobody ever bothers to enter except to sell things to the bartender. Where's the "Return on Investment" from that ?

True to Protogoth form, he refuses to back down when told, very politely, by other players than maybe he shouldn't take the whole "STO Fed = white privilege" stance because it undermines any real point he's trying to put across and makes him look insane. Instead, he doubles down:

Protogoth posted:

But we're "entitled whiny minorities" for bringing any of this up. *snort* And then people try to chastise me for calling that attitude of privilege what it is. I spend money on this game like others, and I have every right to call attention to injustice and petition for a redress of my grievances.

And here is one of his fleet member chiming in to remind us how awesome Protogoth is as a fleet leader:

idiot pubbie posted:

And also, 'cause I'm in her fleet... well, Proto is kinda awesome. Her mini-essays on the fora were one of the things that made me actually join the Tal'Diann. Read 'em sometimes - you might find yourself agreeing with her more times than not.

Because that is exactly what I want in a fleet in a super-casual space MMO: lots of mini-essays and lectures. Sounds like a real blast.

I forgot about this, from xean's manifesto:

"Pertinent background info on the conflict by bully-troll groups led by SA groups SW/NoP/SFD/T'D"

I'm 99% sure the T'D at the end there is Tal'Diann, protogoths fleet. Xean thinks they are goons and in on the conspiracy.

Maybe some fantastically rich person who doesn't know how rich I already am will take this offer, and maybe they'll let me keep the ship as well because of that time I said I gave a guy some lolwut favours* on Risa.
