That really sucks, Net - what an absolute jerk.

You don't want it, it's awful. Use a plugin on your PC, or a 3rd party like UnblockUS for other devices and just make it look like you're in the States. That way you can get whatever you want.

I was wondering, and please don't take this wrong-

But maybe it might be better to cut out the erotic roleplaying or anything involving eroticism over the internet for quite a while, as all it is doing for you now is attracting weirdos and freak jobs. Some of these guys 'fish' for vulnerable gay men, and a few of these have no compunction over ruining your life or even hurting you. This dude has gotten into cyber-stalking you, and I wouldn't be surprised if he starts escalating his demands. I would even say that if he's being a severe pest, I would drop the IM account until that pathetic little freak gets bored and moves onto someone else (might take over a year, because he's latched onto you hardcore.)

I know those sound like extreme actions, but this guy isn't leaving you alone, and you might need to give off a stronger 'hint.'

Yeeeah. I let into him, though. Have a couple snippets that didn't contain too much private information. I blocked out the kink he wanted to play, too, since it's... really gross. [I also skipped an instance of him calling a trans person we were talking about "a special snowflake". Oh yeah and he threatened to steal my OCs and commission porn of them since he can't get it himself.]

Hey, I totally understand your concern. This one particular guy, though, he gets the **** around and has been in roleplaying circles that I've been in, out, and on the edges of since 2006 or earlier. He's just not going to quit. I blocked his ass, though, and I block him every time he gets his hands on an IM name of mine.

I don't run into creepers too often. I'm usually very good at blocking them quickly or refusing to engage. Most of my ERP is really pleasant and fun, I just don't mention those instances here for obvious reasons.

People who constantly say "I love watching bad movies so me and my friends can totally riff on it!"

MST3K wasn't that funny and I'm willing to bet you and your friends aren't as funny as you think you are.

*pennydreadful* · 11-11-2014, 03:46 PM

Hey Net, glad you stood up to the douche. You should let a few people in your art circle know about him so if they see any of your art being ripped off by this dude, they can at least let you know.

Wish I could maim the transphobic little creep for you!

*MsMarvelDuckie* · 11-11-2014, 04:13 PM

I second that! Maybe we could take turns.... I'd start with putting a blindfold on him and hanging him up like a piñata, spin him around a few times, then start smacking random body parts with a whiffle bat. Is that too harsh?

*Storm Eagle* · 11-11-2014, 04:23 PM

Not that I try to listen into peoples' phone conversations, but sometimes it can't be helped when it's right within earshot. So it's annoying to hear them constantly go "mm-hmm" or "uh-huh" for long periods of time without really saying anything. Say actual f*cking WORDS, dammit.

*TheCanadiandrome* · 11-11-2014, 04:56 PM

my boss! friggin prick keeps jerking me for hours! i go from 20-25 hours a week down to 15 hours the last two weeks, to just working bloody tomorrow this week! how the hell is a guy to make a living?

granted i have another job, but it's seasonal cause i only work the local hockey games and any concerts/events that may come, so i'm barely getting time there either!

*BubblyShell22* · 11-11-2014, 05:03 PM

Sinus problems due to weather, but that's normal now. Had a bad one yesterday which is why I missed wrestling because it was just so bad. Hurts now, too.

Dawnatello Turtle Chick · 11-11-2014, 05:49 PM

Well I feel lame since everyone has been having real problems lately, but my MAJOR gear grind right now is that our internet is down with no ETA on when they'll get around to fixing it. It's the only time I was going to get today to play Destiny & now I'm just screwed. Plus no Hulu watching to take my mind off it... I know, I know 1st World problems.

I don't really have an art circle. I just have to occasionally search the names of my OCs on FurAffinity and see if any porn of them ever pops up, then report the artwork.

Yeah, gonna have to do this the hard way.

I support this. Maybe I should go find a reference picture of his OC and we can all commission artwork of him being beat by you guys!

I'd suggest one where it's a picture of him with his head stuck up his butt like some demented Ouroboros snake. It would fit him certainly, since it sounds like his head is already terminally entrenched in his rectal cavity already.

The blue shell is the biggest scumbag ever. I remember I would deliberately stay in second place in previous MK games. All to avoid that piece of shxt.

I can agree with this.

Brilliant!

The fact that I read a post on a soccer forum which was so full of flaws. I actually typed up a response in a word processor, and the count is just shy of 2000 words

It took me about 45 minutes and the most insane thing is that I couldn't even remember my login details (been so long since I posted there), so I will probably never post it. Also, who's gonna read a 1959 word forum post????!!!

The good thing is that I've seen this flawed line of argument before. So I now have a saved document, which means next time I see it I can just cut and paste. I'd heard of people saving their debates to save them time in future, but this is the first time I have done it. Next time some clown starts talking nonsense on this particular subject it will be easy work for me.
