Very boring thread about very boring stuff

So if you logged onto the discord today you may have thought 'wow it sure is peaceful for once what happened did world war 3 stop being incited?'

Then you may switch over to the members list and realize "oh wait, remilia isn't fucking here that explains it!?

If you know the basic dynamic of the discord you know that such a thing would put Hybrida, my most squishy friend~ in the seat of gloating and he may be like 'haha coward left' but then you look for that and... wait, it's not fucking there??

WHERE'S THE DRAMA??

Well here's the drama. Whilst I was asleep Hybrida responded to one of my jabs with his usual intricate tone of 'I fucking hate you remi how dare you exist remi please piss off and die remi' and whatever he said was apparently so disgraceful that Ellie was like 'okay thats enough bye' and so he's muted now.

I personally have left just to ready myself for the much less toxic chat I'll return to, I no longer will need to have my guard up because ahaha... you know how muting is usually a temporary measure?

Well, temporary might be one way to describe a 10,000 day mute. I'm gonna be real, the reason I'm keeping clear for a few days is because when Hybrida discovers he's been banned (yes, that is what is really going on) from the discord he might do as he has so often threatened and send his legion of alt accounts after it, however if I'm not there he probably won't have the same get go that he usually would.

I'm also taking an absence so peeps can enjoy a few days without me, I do tend to ramble so suddenly a chat with no remilia or hybrida will be very peaceful. I'll come back and it'll probably be just as peaceful as I won't have to be on guard constantly. I usually only respond negatively to things in retaliation. I don't have an issue with any of the other members on the chat and it's not like i need to escape it seeing as, you know--- the only person who made being their a tad inconvenient is gone now-- so rest assured none of you have contributed to my ridiculously temporary leave. That was my decision and none of you have to worry that you were responsible for it, not even hybrida can claim credit because again, i could go back now and lose nothing.

I titled the thread what I have because i know it's unlikely hybrida will read it given his disposition with me and walls of text and that is exactly my plan. he will find out eventually but a slower burn is better in regards to shit like this.

For those wondering 'why did nukehead get banned?' primarily it's because he's a very toxic and instigatory person who causes more harm and is rare to contribute. he also has a habit of interrupting conversations and trying to reformat them to make himself the center of attention. This is generally very unattractive behavior and even when i'm absent he is generally awful. We don't want newbies to the website to keep being scared away by his utterances so we've just made him unable to utter full-stop.

On top of this he's also been a very heavy swinger of anti-trans remarks and has a very misogynistic worldview. That alone isn't enough in this community to earn a ban but on top of everything else and his last statement just made it clear what we've been tolerating too long as it is- he really had this coming for months. Removing him is a fairly safe bet as no one likes him very much (for reasons I've already gone into) and the only backlash is his myriad of alt accounts, of which we can ban with much more ease than he can create them.

if he tries to do anything like a dDos attack then he's just making more trouble for himself though I wouldn't put it past him. That being said, if the site goes down for a day or so you'll know who is being a busy bee.

Beyond the threats of violence, hate speech, discrimination, toxicity and genral awfulness, he's never changed. He's been here since 2009 and while ellie and basically everyone here has adapted and changed the way they are to suit the needs of the forum, he's remained the dionsaur of eternal complacency, and has refused to ever look at his actions from other people's perspectives. To him he is the only person who matters and bugger everyone else, he is the centre of the universe he believes in. This behaviour is rampant in most of his posts and we're just sick to death of excusing his behaviour or letting it slide under the 'pretense' of "I once was that way."

We grew up, he hasn't. He's refused to despite several opportunities and chances to do so. I'd usually admire such strict adherence to principles, but garbage principles are beyond justification, let alone admiration.

Since the day he joined until the day of his departure, he's been a public nuisance who has done nothing but bolster himself and downplay others. he is a parasite who preys on the guilt and misfortune of those less fortunate. He contributes nothing while bringing down everything.

If you do end up reading this Hybrida, know that I tried man. I tried to understand you, to relate to you, but I couldn't. I even misled myself with fragile lies like "Hybrida is important to the balance of the forum" and "We need him to dump our frustrations at" but even those flimsy justifications for your existence didn't hold water.

I thought you were just eccentric at first, which I am fine with, I'm eccentric, too.

Over the course of several months, I've seen what you are and so have many others. If there was anyone who at first would have been against banning you, myself included, as well as Ellie, we've lost interest in doing anything but.

You are responsible for who you are, you're the reason you are banned. The fault is yours. I and Ellie have done everything we can to overlook your disgraceful behaviours time and time again, but we can no longer do it. We're just honest to jupiter sick of you and your petty shit.

Don't ever come back.
 
I was going to reply to this but I believe it has all been said.

I had kept Hybrida around because I have a very free-speech oriented worldview on the Internet. It mainly steps from my RuneScape clan which is set up as an ardently free-speech environment. However.

We are not just a chat room, we are a structured environment and one based around game development and creativity. The backbone of that is that everyone has to be able to get along. We have one rule, which is don't be a dick.

If you're challenged on that and asked not to do something, it doesn't matter how ambiguous you think the rules are, we would like you to stop doing it. In this case I had asked Hybrida to stop insulting other users for personal issues that I happen to share myself.

OK, so that breaks free speech. But if you're going to be so utterly hostile and nasty as to continue those things after I have been nothing but accomodating over the years is frankly insulting and unfair.

Ironically, what Hybrida wanted is for us to stop discussing LGBT related matters in the chat, so he was directly attacking our freedom of speech under the pretence that it is his freedoms being diminished. I mean, that's something the right have been doing for years. It's much easier to attack someone by suggesting they are the ones in the wrong.

Anyway. I've added what I'm calling Hybrida the Unicorn to the header for a bit, just to make my intentions and position clear on this matter.

If you're reading this and worrying that my heavy handedness on this matter might lead you to be banned and you think me banning Hybrida is wrong, you're being a dick.
