I brushed off their first comment as a tongue-in-cheek attempt at self-demonstrating the "edgelord" idea, but it's clear that now they're just deliberately being an asshole. And the TF comments are eyerolling because they're mocking the aspect of the comment that would actually make it a trope (a wrecking ball existing for Rule of Cool, as opposed to just wrecking balls existing).

They openly admitted to being an asshole, so they know they're being rude but don't care.

Sure, I'm being an asshole but I'm right that this shouldn't be a trope. My assholery doesn't change that.

He also responded to a TF post I made in a rather harsh tone. Not only that, he criticized the reason I brought up the two tropes, a work page I'm planning to create, and only barely touched on the tropes themselves.

They're continuing to derail the wrecking ball TF post. I think a mod should lock it.

Yeah, this is looking like vandalism or the equivalent to me.

Suspended them from TLP and queries.

Unfortunately I'm still a bit concerned about them as they used a bad TLP to criticize other tropers who weren't even in the conversation. (I also personally very much disagree that Synchronocity is condescending or not helpful.)

Gave a stern warning. They're already on thin ice as it is.

They responded to my trope finder with a response that, at the very least, seemed like a major overreaction to me responding to it once and saying the trope they offered "seems not to have the same setup": https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/query.php?parent_id=97421&type=lnf

They just left a rude comment on the draft "Alien Works".

^ So you basically just admitted that you only participated just to be a dick to people and nothing else.

Should i direct my hatred towards myself at other people? Absolutely not. So just fucking delete my account please.

They've just sent me a PM accusing me of having a problem with them for bombing their draft when there were unwarranted hats.

^Oops sorry, ninja'd.

I'll change my password to random characters and log out. That way i can't even log in to appeal a ban or anything. I won't be a nuisance to you anymore.

Sorry i wanted to propose an index.

^ Go get professional help. I mean this sincerely. Taking out anger towards yourself on other people isn't healthy, not to mention leads to things like this.

I think it's best we lock this thread to avoid popcorning on the disturbing comments. (Can a mod blank any of them?)
