the truth is fyad is pretty much like gbs, except words such as "triggered" and "sperglord" and "sjw" are not considered inherently funny there, they dont stalk and fantasize about murdering famous mentally retarded people from online, their most celebrated posters didnt get popular by drawing furry dickgirl porn as just a funny joke, they havent been laughing at pictures of dead people on mount everest for literally years, and the posters there arent computer programmers who hate everyone and everything and themselves. also theyve got this guy called barnacle jim, whose face is long

what the gently caress, it's Wikipedia, every detail survives if you're motivated enough to click on a few links, like the ones in the pages you just linked to. Cumulus Clouds used a sockpuppet to try and get AFF banned from Wikipedia, as revenge for being chased out of fyad a few years earlier after being a really unpopular fyad idiot king. When some admins requested a checkuser on CC's sock to try and figure out wtf he was talking about, CC shut down his user page and killed himself rather than be publicly disgraced by ArbCom and having his editing privileges revoked.

If that doesn't sound like something a normal person would actually do then well, yeah.

That's what I'd been told had happened too, but I think wikipedia talk page drama can be interesting so I looked up the actual incident and it's a lot more tragicomic than that. CC was stalking AFF, he'd been lurking in fyad and compiling some secret revenge dossier for months, but couldn't handle the shame of getting caught sockpuppeting. He had some problems.

AFF "bullied" CC in that he did the calm rational I am the smarter man approach to gently caress with someone on the internet which is 100% effective every time and also denied he was AFF and had covered his tracks. Wikipedia mods sided with him over CC's alt or whatever and CC went crazy and probably killed himself somewhat because of it but also he was already crazy. I don't know that I would consider a person you don't know mocking you on the internet and trolling you around in simultaneous perfect circles really bullying cause then I'd also have to consider most of SA to be internet bullying. Which it is.

Oh it's connected. hold on to your horses gentlemen

Aesop Poprock posted:

Didn't you used to post in Helldump all the time when it was an FYAD-lite and FYAD dudes would switch back and forth from those two depending on what the threads were? I mean Mobutu ended up being Boniface who ended up being Jeb Lund so it's not like you had no interaction before
