Oh, man. Does that say "Peep?" That was my wife's pet name for me, back when I had a wife. I don't want to have anything in common with this Lesnick person.

she must really care for the dude if she made all that poo poo, which is sad, because if she wasnt such a big girl she could have found someone who was worth it.

First of all...FIRST of all, there are quite a FEW things that differentiate me from Aartrek. First of all I am not a bad person like he was. I am a loving father and a good husband and my family loves me and I have done a lot of things with my life for instance I volunteer a lot, helping out the under privileged youth. Secondly I am not fat like I assume he was, I am fit and trim and in great shape like a gazelle! Haha just a joke there but I actually not fat that part was true. I could stand to be in a little better shape and I'm hoping to get back into running this year. Thirdly, I am a way better Admin than he ever was, I make sure to be kind and moderate in my mod decisions, for instance you wont catch me banning people for no reason, in fact I have never banned ayone in my time as admin of these forums, and you can take that to the bank. Fourthly, I try to liven the place up with funny jokes and stickies, for instance this very THREAD, which I thought would be good for a laugh and it really hurts that I;m throwing you guys a bone here and you turn on me like a pack of hyenas and honestly it makes me wonder if I should continue or not. This isn''t the only thing I have to do in my life by the way, for instance I live an active and varied life and this is just a small part of it . A tiny part for instance. Please stop with the harassing, this is a thankless job and Im glad to do it but cut me some slack once in a while OK. OK?

I'm not sure he's old enough to have fought in the Spanish Civil War even if he'd wanted to, dude.

If the dude is half the jackass he appears to be, she could put on another hundred pounds and still do better. Maybe he's, like, really awesome to her. More likely, but also more depressing, is the possibility that she's the kind of person who thinks his racist stalker pedophile antics are cute.

MeLKoR has a browser extension he uses to keep red-text notes on everyone on SA, he has a coded system of symbols like + ++ - -- #, %, ^ that all mean different things, and also records quotations so he can use them against people later in D&D arguments.

He was taking requests in the game thread to show people screenshots of the notes he kept on them.

If any of you guys want to know what his codes for you are or what quotable quotes he has, you can ask him in here he'll probably show ya.

Cross posting from the Star Citizen thread:

EFFORT POST:

For the morning crew to chew on, if I am being a jerk let me know, I will delete this, I am not minimizing depression or what Ben went through.

Timeline from very weak googling:

Been reading a lot of information put other there by Ben after Benghazi dropped... something didn't add up... and I read more than a few conflicting statements...

He wrote two LJ updates, one of April 16th and April 18th, 2016 to explain himself.

Ben makes one apology in the April 16th LJ update:

He is sorry it's so boring! I guess we are all just dum dums! Actually, this is a dodge. No one cares about his LJs. They are not the true issue here, it is the IRC chats. They are full of racism, pedophilia-related content, and threats of murder and violence (some against children). No one is using the LJs to troll Ben, or at least, that would be worthless as they are boring. But, Ben can explain the chats:

Ben Lesnick, April 16, 2016:

So, he's blaming SA for his disgusting IRC chats, right? Cause it convenient to blame the ones calling you out, no?

Something Awful was founded in 1999. Ben Lesnick would have been 18 years old when it was founded. Depending on when he discovered it and how long it took to 'idolize' it, he could well have been 19-20. This is further proven with:

The #WINGNUT IRC chat was founded in 1997 (and WCNEWS in 1998) a full 2 years before SA existed. If SA is to blame, this this:

Ben Lesnick, April 18, 2016:

is bollocks.

Two things here: If Something Awful is to blame as he says in the first missive, then this is simply not true. He would have been 18-20 range, an adult. Secondly, no one ever teased him for thinking cartoon anime women are hot. Some rational people might tell you that THINKING CARTOON ANIME CHILDREN are hot is BAD....that is the issue.... and if he was 17, how is a 17 year old thinking a 10 year old is "hot" and describing sexual things ok anywhere? Ben admits in graphic detail what he would do to a ten year old "cartoon anime woman," er child...

So, let's assume for the moment all of his gross rants and Hitler jokes and shooting up a classroom jokes are his to own, and not SA's fault... he was 17 and misguided.. he seriously was angry at the world? No friends, family, and nothing to live for? Losing your sight would be devastating, I am not minimized that at all... and maybe he did hide how he was feeling, but look at this.. is this the world of a anti-social, angsty teen who wrote those horrible things?

I get you were mad, depressed, and felt you wouldn't get out of life what you wanted... it would make anyone depressed. But it seems you had a tight family who loved you. Big parties, similar interests, and there are LJ after LJ of Ben buying things... every LJ is him buying a new toy or DVD series and enjoying it... he is passionate, and it shows... what doesn't show is the reason for the disturbing chats.

Who you are in secret is who you are in reality. That was exposed recently. I believe you have changed, but stop blaming everything and everyone else. Those things were inside you at one point, and you let them spill out onto the web in vibrant color, and people accepted you and you only got worse. Form 2002 and beyond you do some amazing things in your life, stuff even I have never done... I assume 1997-2002 was similar... your dad seems cool, did you go to Civil War reenactments with him? Museums with your mom, aquariums with your sister? I think you did...

But Ben, why do you never address: why did losing an eye make you joke about sex with kids? About shooting up a schoolroom of kids? How is the excuse that you felt you "had the world figure out" applicable? I would agree if it were embarrassing political posts or dumb ideas about society and its ill that were uncovered. If Sept 11th made you mad, why the racist rant against blacks, Chinese, etc? How do jokes about murdering kids fit into that narrative?

They don't. I do not deny you were very depressed. I do not claim to know how you felt during those dark times, and I am glad you found an outlet and friends to get through... but normal conversations between friends don't include these things. And if they do no one keeps a record of their awfulness. And then doubles down as to why they were kept.

If he truly did hate the world at one point and was just a dumb kid, it would have been in 1997-1999 time frame, and his chats would have started way before SA and any influence that would have had.

So by maybe, 24 you had mellowed?

Sorry, you were 27 when you wrote this stuff... lesson not learned?

DarkOff had a bit more to add, thanks Dark.

please, PLEASE, ban this man
