I have to be a bit vague here, because I don’t want to risk summoning the person I’m talking about. But I just remembered the time I made an innocent post online about something, when another user replied, absolutely losing their mind. Paragraph after paragraph, tons of asterisks and bolding, cussing people out, very heated about this particular topic. It quickly devolved into an argument between themselves and other users. When I looked up their user name, I found out they were notorious for doing this, and have done so since 2005. They look up any discussion they can find about this particular topic, on any website regardless if it’s something they’re actually interested in, make an account, and rant and rave. This was almost ten years ago. Last I know, they were still at it. And the funny thing is, this topic isn’t even something serious. It’s something they can easily avoid if they dislike it so much, but they refuse. I wish I could go into more detail but I can’t risk it.
But to this day this is one of the weirdest things I’ve ever encountered online. I’ve never known anyone so dedicated to something like this, that they waste so much time and energy. Every time I remember this, I’m just like wow.

Offsite, I was talking to someone, and this rando came over and started cussing us out (it wasn’t even a bad convo before that, also substitute curses, cuz the site doesn’t allow cussing, so they put like: flicking, carp, doorbell for dumb@ss) and then I said I’d ignore him and he starts spamming ‘fard’ and ‘beetroot’ over and over. It was so dumb. Then another guy (a different time) was being super homophobic and I put him on my DNI list cuz blocking doesn’t work on that site, and then 3 months later he comments something super duper helpful on one of my posts, then a week later starts being rude again!! Wth?

I hope there’s a way you can get this person to stop doing that to you. I’m sorry you have to deal with that. I don’t understand why someone would want to do that over a fictional character

Wth? I wonder if they were trying to get a reaction somehow. That’s really weird. I don’t get how people can be like this.

was called a "commie-ass pagan anti-christ" unprompted via message on tumblr 8 years ago. my blog was quite obviously anti-communist and catholic. idk what that guy was smoking. he blocked immediately after sending.
also when i was new on the OG forums, we had someone with the screen name "Vodka the Ventriloquist" in classic Messletters text join my clan with a character called Vodkapaw. when someone asked what their name meant, they briefly explained that they coped with depression by drinking vodka (using disturbingly positive phrasing like "vodka was there for me"), and they were an aspiring ventriloquist. it was super unnerving at the time since I was only 12. this all happened when i was out for a few days and when i came back i immediately kicked them out of the clan just bc their story/name made me and some others uncomfortable.
tbh i still can't decide whether they were a troll or legit some messed-up kid; it sounds troll-y when i explain it, but the dude's mannerisms were not troll-like at all. they behaved like any other forumer and interacted with others quite normally, and didn't say/do anything creepy until someone specifically asked about their screenname. when i booted them out they got upset and reported the thread for being "exclusionary", which did get the clan temporarily deleted. twelve years later and the incident still sticks with me as being very odd, even for a trolling experience.

Wth? been sitting here for several minutes trying to figure out what "beetroot" is supposed to be a substitute for. unfortunately, subbing words and having the intended meaning still be understood is a skill that not everyone has honed successfully through the challenge of club penguin censorship.

I hope there’s a way you can get this person to stop doing that to you. I’m sorry you have to deal with that. I don’t understand why someone would want to do that over a fictional character Idk if they’ll ever stop tbh. Looking at their blacklist they were very thorough about keeping tabs on every username or alt someone uses…so yeah big red flag there. I don’t have a lot of social media for art stuff so cutting contact was easy (I just have deviantart, ToyHouse, and Artfight). Thankfully it doesn’t look like they’ve found me on Facebook or anywhere where my irl stuff is so my family and irl friends are unaffected. It was apparently a “dreamie” of a friend of theirs and i guess they felt like their friend was entitled to it? And they apparently thought I was affiliated with someone they hated and that I was getting the character on that person’s behalf. Like idk man, they seem terminally online and should do more than just touch grass, they need to roll around in grass.

Got a few weird run ins on the forums. Including my first online death threats and personal insults both in PMs and on the WG thread in question for calling out a troll user, then getting reprimanded by another user for calling out said troll until they received concerning PMs as well (they are banned but know who they are).
Another weird thing was the attempt another (now banned) forum user made in order to play some lovely mindgames to try and convince me that I was at fault for their rude behaviour on yet another thread. Good times.
Finally, as a third example, another brief forum user (banned) bragged about frequently raiding Discord servers with their friends while having raided a thread over on WG.
The internet is a wild ride for sure. Even though I'm not really active on other sites so my experiences are only from the forums, at least for now. But even that's enough for me.

Yeah seriously. I made the mistake of saying ‘what?’ One time, and he just goes ‘what, did I not just say fard and beetroot?’ Like the heck man I’m straight up confused now. And he was on a kids website pretending to be 8 and was actually 23.

I’ve got too many of these stories. Not all of them originated from here. Thanks to my brain for having a bad memory, I don’t remember most of them.

I got a scam email like that once (someone claiming to be dying and wanting to leave me their fortune so I can "donate it" on their behalf) and I had way too much fun pulling their leg. I'd say "I would love to help!! But unfortunately I do not have a bank account 😔 Maybe you could just donate it yourself?" and watch them try to convince me that surely I must have a bank account. Eventually they gave up but it was free entertainment for awhile.

The people who literally take an oath of poverty and you want to say you have money?????
