Make Private (For security bugs or stuff only for moderators)

Alright since this thread is about me I will give my statement. I do admit that you do have some valid points and In many of those cases I was not acting super well, I have an issue where I like to state my thoughts without really thinking in some cases. I am also a pretty big stickler for the rules. I will take a break from the site and think about what I have done I don't really want to get in trouble more and I do apologize.

Also when it comes to the Discord stuff I wasn't being serious about that and was joking around with some friends.

The thing I am a bit confused on though is the "disregarding presented evidence and then not voting when they're corrected." I didn't respond to it at all after I was correct and the reason I didn't vote is that I don't know the character very well and I wasn't sure I never even downvoted to begin with just brought up something I thought was disqualifying until it turned about it wasn't.

↑↑ I've seen the chat - you literally went out of your way to say you were being serious.

↑ That's literally my point - you raised a concern I'd already talked about while claiming it was your issue with the character, and then when corrected you just moved on. You have a very consistent habit of not voting on other people's candidates, in fact you often outright change the conversation - those were just two of mine, not even the others I've seen.

↓ At least not actively changing the subject away, it's a pattern and I'm not the only person whose noticed it. If it happened once or twice then it wouldn't be an issue, but it happens all the time

Me saying I was serious was sarcastic.

I wasn't aware that I had to vote on every single candidate I comment on.

TBH, entirely disregarding the Discord image—I can verify it exists but that's off-site drama by definition, so it's neither here nor there—there's enough visible evidence of problematic, hostile and uncooperative behavior with this user that some moderator action would be appreciated. Bumping this.

I'll accept whatever punishment I get as I do deserve it, and I'll use this to improve.

Alright, the Discord stuff is clearly just going to lead to more denial playing and I'm not gonna comment on it too much as the main person you were repeatedly and viciously trying to play bad faith cards to see banned. What I will focus on is the fact this intense rage you get driven to is literally born out of debates where you don't like the result. You get hostile, you refuse to accept consensus and repeatedly won't quit until threatened with mod action and each time after you say you're done you return to a new topic with the same unpleasant and unproductive stance.

You've outright told me you don't care what I have to say until your comment was thumped. You've dragged out countless debates for pages more than they need be. You frequently respond to having rules explained to you by angrily insisting everyone agree with you that your stance is correct by some technicality. You say again and again that this will stop yet it repeats. I don't know what it's going to take to solve this but it shouldn't have happened in the first place, it's an elephant in the room every time you elect to drag out another topic and we need to find a solution here because it's not fair to have to keep coming back to.

As I said I will be taking some time off from the CM and MB threads to work on my behaviour. I will admit I have a problem with continuing to argue my opinion and say what I want to say. And I will accept whatever punishment I am given from this.

I'm probably being paranoid in noticing that the subject of this report has commented in over a dozen other ATT queries, nearly pushing this query off the main page.

I noticed that as well but didn't want to jump to conclusions - I would greatly appreciate it if a mod could step in at this point

↓ While resurrecting queries that have been answered for two or three days now? Even if you had no ill intention that's still disrupting the important ATT matters by bumping current stuff off the front page

I can see how that looks but that wasn't my intention I was just bored and felt like commenting on some of them since I had something to say.

↑ That one was because I noticed the weird text and wanted to know why not realizing that it had already been answered. And the other one I was interested in commenting on.

I want the thread to be commented on by a mod as much as you.

Yeah I can’t say that was a good move from any angle.

Put this to private as I don't think discussions of offsite behaviour should happen in public. Too much of a chance of drama importation.

Fair enough, I didn’t see you responded to my other ATT again. If I had, I would’ve made this private from the start, so I’m sorry about that. I'm still willing to share the screenshots of the matter - I can PM them to you if you'd like - but I'm sorry for making this public, and if this somehow happens again I swear to handle it privately.

What can be done here? They said they’d take a break from the site and then almost bumped the report off the main page - ill intention or not, he still bumped ongoing queries off the main page in favor of ones that had been answered for two or three days, so I’m not convinced his remorse is genuine, especially since they’ve “apologized” for their behavior dozens of times now and has never meaningfully changed. I would greatly appreciate it if there anything that can be done

Bumping one last time to see if anything needs to be said or done
