So I was browsing that shit hole where the crazies are encouraged to go (blurt), checking in after a few months of being away, to see how much they've wrecked the place (nearly destroyed, no surprise there). Saw that character posting shit about you guys. Talking smack and all that. They took this conversation between you and @meesterboom out of context (typical thing they do over there), grabbed a few screenshots, made a hit piece/smear post.
Just thought you should know.
Hey mate, I hope you're well.
I don't see anything on Blurt; it seems like a bit of a terrible place from what I've heard.
They all deserve each other and none of their smack-talking has any relevance anywhere but in their own tortured minds. At the end of the day each and everyone of them is trapped; trapped within the prison that is themselves and the way they think and act makes that place quite terrible I'm sure. They can talk smack if they like, but when it's quiet, when they're alone, I'm sure being them is their worst nightmare.
A quick glance at their 'new' feed was all it took. Was simply checking for volume and quality (pathetic) and about seven posts down the feed I stumbled into it. Can't even call it coherent. Certainly not worth losing sleep over. Just the usual unhinged cringe typical of that
communitycult. Building their bonds upon a foundation of hating the same people and things is most certainly a trap. Looking further but still at a glance, I discovered more drama; same players from months ago but now they're all focused on one another (that was inevitable). Part of me thought they would have wised up by now but it's clear those types simply, can't. Still going, after that much time, all while feeding off one another. Stuck in that trap while eating themselves to death. Truly no different than a slum.I'm doing well. Just getting caught up on things. Spent about ten minutes on that. To be honest, it was more humorous to me than alarming. But I did spend some time digging around looking for, The Rest of the Story, before I mentioned anything here. It's not hard to see who's in the wrong and why you guys just brush it off now. I'd do the same.
Yeah, it's predictable; the funny thing is, that they probably hate themselves more then anyone else.
The rest of the story is the usual thing. I asked that user not to post in my community in dual language as I've set that as a rule. He whined, unfollowed me then deleted his post replacing the text with "deleted." Once he did that, I was forced to mute it from the community feed. He took offense, called me some things that were uncalled for and began to attack. He was addressed (by many, many users) and went to Blurt. Now, well, he's handed out almost 70 DV's to me in the last couple days (which amount to about a grand total of $1 combined) and probably feels empowered by that and the gathering of minds that goes on over at Blurt.
Classic case fully equipped with the downward spiral and everything. Some folks stubbornly stick to their guns, shoot up their feet, then blame the ground they walk on for the pain. Noticing the same damn pattern over the past few years. Also noticing it's nearly impossible to talk them down from that ledge; those types. Not even worth placing a pad down to land on. They tend to bounce right back up just to do it all over again. Those latching on to share in the hatred are in essence only there to encourage the jump and watch the fall. It's gross. All over some petty shit and a few bucks, every time. I've come to terms with the fact I'll never be able to fix it. I'm still quite fond of studying this stuff though. Being ten steps ahead of crazy might come in handy some day...
Yep, classic indeed.
Had he said, oh ok, no worries, like most others have he'd still have a Hive account worth something.
You hit the nail on the head I guess. People like this cause their own issues, but will always blame others and there's no point in trying to change the fact. Some may come to better decisions on their own accord, but when they all group together they don't have much chance of rising above.
Factor in how some were duped into pouring money into that dump only to lose it. So they'll now prey on literally anyone here who might have an issue with something or someone. Convincing them to jump ship plus bring their money with them. Pretending to care but the reality is they're desperate to recoup those losses, even if it means taking advantage of people on their worst days. Posing as saviors. And that trick isn't even exclusive to blurt. People have been falling for it for years. Gotta find out the hard way I guess.
Agreed, and also on your comment about preying on people who are miffed elsewhere just so they bring a long a few funds. Again, it's predictable behaviour. I'm glad they're there and not on Hive though.
Yeah, I saw it mate. The guy is just the lamest kind of loser.
He earns virtually nothing but it gives him something to spam the dead chain with 😀
So cute how each one leaves out about 99% of the story when it comes time to satisfy that urge to hate something unnecessarily then lock it all into a blockchain so future generations can see how permanently fucked up they were.
It is quite funny. Leave out all the bits that don't suit them.
This guy was not such a cunt at first. But he quickly showed his true colours.
As they always do!
I'm familiar with that individual. Never had a problem with them; enjoyed their company, as I do. Stumbling into that the way I did though was quite off-putting. True colours indeed.
I tried to be nice and explain the issue. Didn't work out course.
Yeah. Sorting things out rationally, even if the conversations are hard, would be the typical approach most would choose to take. Do that here and more often than not, nowadays, you're added to the list and smeared for weeks straight, over nothing, if you do that. I know from experience. Better off letting people melt during the meltdowns, it seems.
I want to say meltdowns are quite normal to the point where it's acceptable in society, to a point. This shit though where folks are freaking out nonstop for weeks or months straight while sitting on a device; just weird. Saw that happen a lot though, especially this past year. Simple misunderstandings getting blown way the fuck out of proportion.
21st century lameness.
You wouldn't catch me hanging about on my phone/laptop whatever all day frothing about something internet'y. Wankers want to get out and have a cold beer in the sun and take a chill pill
