I keep thinking about this whole Bust Rodd thing. I know these forums can be toxic sometimes and there are some real crazies here and it can kinda be like high school and im scared i'm inviting a dog pile on me for saying this but im not sure adding negativity to negativity is going to help anything, and I guess I needed to voice that. I am not saying Bust is undeserving of judgement: he tried his bs with me while i was in the middle of going through terrible abuse from my ex. I was seriously traumatized, and he dipped when he realized all I wanted from him was a friend, and he kicked me when I was down and things weren't going well for me here. I am not a fan of his, but i lean more toward forgiveness and desire for redemption arcs from assholes. maybe thats what makes me a sucker and i should be angry at assholes but I just can't and im worried when he sees all this its going to hurt him and just make things worse so i guess im saying i hope he figures his poo poo out and continues to grow and learn as a person. maybe I am just idealistic and i should learn to just be angry at assholes, idk.

It's OK if not being angry at someone gives you peace. That's really commendable. It's also Ok for the people around you to be angry at that person for what they did, and hearing that he dipped out on someone who needed a friend is despicably monstrous.

That is a perspective I needed to hear. Also, thanks for the validation and support. Much appreciated.

Nuns with Guns posted:What’s the source on the printer story anyway? Did he post some nice guy angst story in E/N? this is the post quote:A loose female acquaintance of mine calls me at 1:00am today and asks me if I could print something on the computer for her and bring it over in the afternoon. "Hey yeah sure sure, whatever you need I'll help you, I'm all yours," I tell her. She sends me this file and lo and behold I can't open it. It's made in Microsoft Publisher and I don't have that program so I begin panicing, trying to find this program or a way to print the file. Scouring the internet yields no results and I do my usual pacing in my room. I could not find the original post right now, I thought it was goldmined but I couldn't find it in the goldmine. And enough people just copypasted the text over the years that I don't think I get enough search results to go back to the og anymore. Someone probably has it saved somewhere probably and will post it within seconds of me posting this. It was probably in E/N as you suspect, though, but gently caress if I know. E: to be clear, I'm doing this to summon someone who has the actual link to the thread, it works every time. IGgy IGsen has a new favorite as of 17:12 on Dec 7, 2021 |

Cosmic thing you do not owe anybody validation on how you feel so long as it hurts nobody and helps with your own health and I commend you for that. That said gently caress that dude and I shall draw an inconvenience curse to make him suck worse at super mario

Oh... is that why I always get hit with everything at once in Mario Kart? Did someone curse me? I thought that's just how the game works. E: Anyway, Cosmic Thing, if anyone shits on you for trying to not succumb to negativity and keep your smile and optimism point them out and I'll lightly own them. Meanwhile, I'll still mock assholes for being assholes. I have long lost the patience for these types. Most mellow with age, I get angrier. IGgy IGsen has a new favorite as of 17:19 on Dec 7, 2021 |

I can see where you're coming from and for the most part I don't really like it going further than people posting 'bust rodd' in reply to him saying something stupid but sometimes it can be cathartic to voice, as a group, just how loving odd some people are because sometimes I think it can feel like it's just you thinking this, like maybe everyone likes bust rodd and then it turns out everyone thinks he's ridiculous and everyone laughs. Like, I don't wish him any harm. I will never meet him nor do I know anything about his life other than what he offers, assuming any of it is true. So i don't feel that bad that every time he goes on a bust rodd rant someone will be there to say 'lol shut up bust rodd'. Now if he was posting normal and people still gave him grief? That's when it becomes unfunny bullying and that would suck. However, I don't think he's going to stop being bust rodd any time soon.

There is as far as I know exactly one thread on the forums where he posts like a normal person and it would indeed be weird as gently caress if a bunch of people started dunking on him there for his creepy posts in other threads. But when he does do the creepy poo poo he's totally fair game as far as anyone should be concerned imo.

Nah you're totally right, good to have a sanity reminder every once in a while too. It's fair and fun to dunk on people, but not if it gets obsessive or alienates the exact people we're upset about them being lovely to.

I really appreciate all of your replies. We all saw my terrible melt down with my main account back when the abuse i was going through finally broke me, and I really have been working hard to heal, and it feels so loving good to be welcomed back here and to experience so much kindness and support from everyone after everything that happened.

I have definitely seen a fair amount of instances out on these forums where a poster's reputation precedes them such (or even just that it's an ingroup/outgroup thing) that even when they make completely innocuous posts there are folks that flail about trying to "dunk" them for it and/or get in a tizzy over them.

I think an important thing to point out is that we sort of expect people to be rational players in our day to day interactions - or maybe it's just me maybe you're all crazy ha ha ha - which means we may misinterpret messages as being grounded and well thought-out, when in reality they are the opposite. Especially the written medium can lead to these issues since we lose all the additional information that tone of voice and body language conveys, and messages that easily can have been written off as "oh that guy was having a bad day" quickly becomes "I must really suck at this". Personally I also find this is excacerbated when I'm stressed out and not in contact with my feelings, which then means it's time to put the forums on pause for a bit and focuse on my own issues. So if a post or poster is getting to you try to take a moment to read into if the other guy or gal is having issues of their own that can explain they they're coming off as a complete bell-end. You can call them an rear end in a top hat too if you like.

It becomes "cool" to dunk on certain posters sometimes, and tbh it has probably happened to bust rodd already, but he's so consistent about being terrible that we will never know Honestly, discovering the whole rape jokes thing makes me feel like he needs to be perma'd

A lot of times there's a floodgate effect where a lot of people have, y'know, thoughts about a particular poster or topic and they don't feel comfortable voicing them until a couple of other people do.

"Carrying the printer for" is the advanced form of "carry a torch for" where the other person was never interested.

IGgy IGsen posted:this is the post Thank you! The whole panty part of that story sounds weirdly fake.... but I don't know why you'd make that up just for a "sarcastic joke" about wanting to sniff them. I mean the whole story is absurd but at the same time so pathetic it's hard to imagine anyone would want to fabricate it. RFC2324 posted:someone should post some zergling minor stories. he was one of the best, imo There's a SAclopedia page for him that has the thread where he startled the rude hotel patron so bad the guy poo poo himself. I know he also did an Ask/Tell thread about being an orderly at a mental institution for underage kids, too, but I don't know the links for that.

RFC2324 posted:someone should post some zergling minor stories. he was one of the best, imo (Maybe don't read on in the thread, unless you wanna read about the pedophile+necrophile who gets brought up later on) It starts off with these three nuggets which were written by a friend of Ian and posted by another friend of his: quote:Fun fact: That movie that was made about the time he loomed over a rude guy at the hotel? It was under-exaggerated. First off, they didn't get Ian's voice anywhere near deep enough. Second off, the doorway is down a half flight of stairs from the reception desk. The guy had not only pissed himself, but had stumbled on the way down or just straight up gone too fast and had rammed into the wall hard enough to transfer a slacks-shaped piss stain before stumbling out into the night and skidding off. I lived in the same town, about three minutes away from ZM's place, and he told me about an hour after everything happened. quote:Story #2: Ian was a huge dude. That Aquafina machine picture? I took that. Granted, I was kneeling at the time, and the girl he was looming over is something like 4'10", but that doesn't detract from the fact that he was 7'4". Before he'd lost his leg to a workplace accident, his dad had been 7'9". His mom was the shortest one in the family, and was still just a hair under 6' herself. quote:Ian drove a 1983 Ford Bronco with some kind of Chevy transmission and a gear shift lever sloppy enough to qualify for its own episode of Hoarders. There was so much play in the lever that he never locked the vehicle because he was about the only one who knew it intimately enough to actually be able to get it into gear.
