Kek my friend @Boomertbh got banned after getting 200+ replies of people calling him an insensitive PoS. Funny how hypocritical this community is, they try and tell others that they need to respect the dead by making death threats. And funny how blind the moderators are for banning someone who made a valid (but nonpopular) statement yet I see much worse things on these forums all the time.
"Rip" to my banned friend. Should I go make a forum post about him now implying the need for others' recognition?
Edit: These are exact words from Boomertbh;
"they somehow come to the conclusion that I'm incapable of empathizing and that makes me a sociopath. They misconstrue my words, I said I didn't know the guy, so honestly, I don't give a damn about his death so don't shove that information in my face in a place it doesn't belong. Yeah, I can't empathize because I've never had someone I care about die, so it's impossible to truly relate to a feeling I've yet to experience, but when I do, I certainly will not disgrace the memory of that person by seeking attention on a gaming forum like some socially inept jackass."

Your friend is welcome to his opinion and he was free to share it, but simply having an opinion didn't protect him from the community informing him that his opinion and the arrogant, condescending attitude he brought with it made him a complete dick. I am glad that he got banned as forum bullies should be banned. No one deserves to have their life threatened and hopefully those folks were banned as well, but it's the internet and if he isn't cool with that happening why would he post such a callous comment? He wanted attention and he got plenty. Just like you're getting now.
-
What you said about anyone being able to reply is exactly what could apply to OP as well.
-
I never said that wasn't the case.
-
If he didn't give a shit, why comment? that to me seems like he did give a damn, and after the ban now tries to wipe his ass stating he posted because "he didn't give a damn", he should grow a pair and take responsibility for actually being an asshole and not try to come out "clean" with such a stupid excuse.
-
He doesn't care about the OP's topic. He cares that everyone else pretends to care and he believes it's stupid.
-
Everyone's entitled to an opinion. That does not mean people will like it or agree. Freedom of speech is not freedom of repercussions. I had the "pleasure" of trying to talk to him yesterday after his initial polarizing post. He seemed keen on being callous and rude, with little intention of being constructive. Now understanding that he tried to give reason to his post later on, his excuse does little to sway my opinion of your "friend". I hope he never knows the loss of a loved one, but realize the futility in such hope. Point is, he deserved to be banned. Just because you don't like something, doesn't mean you bully others.
-
Define bully. There were much harsher things said towards him than he dished out. He never went to ad hominem levels. What he said was based off of what people's topics were, not attacking them or their personal being.
-
He was pointedly insulting myself and others. Bullying goes beyond physical abuse, it exists in verbal/written communication as well. Did this upset me? No, but I did report him as it was obvious his communication was toxic to this community. I'm not here to weigh what bullying was worse, if people were being rude, sending death threats or whatever, to him then they are guilty of the same but as I was not a witness to that I can't say much more. These were my actions and reasons as to why I took them due to my personal experience with this person and I feel that the community is better off due to his banning, that is all.
-
What did he call you?
-
I'd love to quote him but seeing as I can't go back to the post i'll summarize that he simply called me a "special snowflake" in a derogatory manner after explaining I expect a certain respect and standard when communicating with others online, or I simply move on after doing my due diligence as a member of this community.
-
How do you call someone a special snowflake in a derogatory way? Unless he called you a spoiled bitch or something... I'm not trying to call you that, I just want to know what he said.
-
He didn't call me a special snowflake in an endearing way, he meant it as an insult. That's when I discontinued the conversation and moved on with my life.
-
That's his way of saying that you aren't special. Sorry, but no one is special. Not me, not OP, not you, not Boomertbh. I really wish I could say more, but they banned him, so I can't really get the full context of you guys' conversation because it's, well... gone. Trust me when I say that's him being as [i]least[/i] insulting as possible. He wasn't really saying "ah Fok you you're not a special snowflake," he was using it as a way to strengthen his claim... I think. I dunno, everything of his is gone /:
-
Hopefully he will take it as a lesson that freedom of speech is not freedom of repercussions.
-
I read somewhere that someone said "Just because you're online doesn't mean you can be hateful," or something like that. Actually, you [i]can.[/i] But we're not necessarily being hateful, we're being [i]honest.[/i] I like talking with you, you seem like a gentlemen and have no hostility. Very refreshing compared to all of the hypocrites that decided to "Respect and Honor" the dead by giving out death threats or telling people to die.
-
Those in the super minute minority don't get to make the determination that the OP "disgraced" his late friend. The majority rules, and there are literally hundreds of posters thar disagree with you two guys.
-
Majority view does not equal correct. Ever read "12 Angry Men"?
-
[quote]Majority view does not equal correct. Ever read "12 Angry Men"?[/quote] lol! This is more like a court of public opinion, and the public disagrees with you. You can keep on digging though. As you say, it's a free country.
-
I'm completely fine with the public disagreeing with me. But there's a reason why others [i]agree[/i] with me.
-
[quote]I'm completely fine with the public disagreeing with me. But there's a reason why others [i]agree[/i] with me.[/quote] lol! Yeah, and there's a reason why the agreement to disagreement ratio is so incredibly minute.
-
Not everyone sees the way I do, and that's fine. You can keep saying "lol!" all you want.
-
He has never experienced loss. He posted to gain attention. Hypocritical.
-
"lol someone said i havent lost anyone so idk what im talking about. i said i havent lost anyone i care about meaning my immediate family. both my parents and sisters are alive so im all good. my grandparents died, uncles, aunts, i wasn't close to them so I won't lie and say I care. lol people are so presumptuous." -words of Boomertbh
-
His grandparents, aunts, and uncles died and he just didn't care. Your friend is a prick.
-
He didn't know them well. How is he supposed to care? He may have known their names and had the fact that they were related. Look at your ancestors from, I dunno, a hundred years ago? If you don't feel something for them then you are a monster apparently.
