imagine posting a thread bragging about doing drugs on a lego game forum. are you looking for validation or something because your peers look down on you?

This. Normalize making fun of handicaps who do drugs tbh

Man of Reason is not Dotdotcircle. He was someone I met on Garry's Mod and had no relation to the Blockland Forums until I told him about Blockland.

I know he isn't, I just lumped the two together. I was there with you, remember?

why is this whole thread just four people ragging on tony for stuff he said 5+ years ago it makes it look like you're the ones that made the twitlonger
all the screenshots are from 2016 or earlier
"i apologize" is functionally the same as "i'm sorry"

the BLF is like the stuffty extended family that starts a screaming match at thanksgiving
at least tony has the guts to directly say he's not tribal or sensible

Crook/Rally isn't wrong but dunking on Tony is kinda pointless after all this time

Honestly the biggest offense is that you're playing DBD so much- I gave that game multiple chances and thought it was ass every time

In private I am a completely different person I usually ignore most people that make jokes with me and anyone who has been on my server will tell you I'm very chill and barely talk.

The toy store build was fun to explore and the medieval RPG was cool

ok who the forget cares. pusillanimous individualing around the fact that he is a person going to the most destitute parts of the world to worsen them for self gratification. you couldn't possibly care how mental this person is. why are you even typing these useless paragraphs

What's with the hysterics, are you five? I just asked if you could send me the videos you were talking about because I was having trouble finding them. How about just provide some context and don't be a combative handicap.

his cia warbucks cutout burned enough to allow CIA a foothold for years of terror while now they only occupy 1/3 the country to leave 10 million food insecure. where are kurds now after years of his war touring and theft, nowhere better. there is nothing to excuse this

Can you link a video? I looked at CivDiv's Youtube and couldn't find anything specific about this.

first of all he said it was the reason

and something aint gotta personally affect me to be bad. I don't know enough about middle eastern geopolitics to say definitively whether it's true, but I will take Aide's word and NanoCap's implicit agreement at face value and assume that, indeed, he fought with groups at separate times that were ideologically opposed to one another. so it's safe to say that he doesn't do this for the advancement of his own ideology, he does it, like I said, because he is bored. and he can't even be bothered to pick a side while getting his kicks. again I don't know enough about the conflicts to criticize the exact groups he fought with based on what they did (and it doesn't help that he never said specifically, but in some cases it's easier to infer than others), but I reckon drydess is probably correct on that

Trouble re-adapting into civilian life is not uncommon. In context by boredom he really means that he doesn't know what else to do with himself. It's a sad reality, I'm not going to go into a spiel though because I'm sure you know war affects those who serve negatively lol

It's pretty common for military bodies to paid to fight on this or that side of wars (which is stuffty), but if he's just fighting on essentially whoever's side he can get on for the sake of fighting I agree that's pretty awful and he needs to go to a therapist or something. Some men just want to watch the world burn.

To me, boredom =/= bad. Also I and most others agree the US invasions of Aghanistan/Iraq were unjustified, but I wouldn't go as far to say everyone who served are ethically irredeemable. Most people who enlisted did not fully understand what they were getting into, or the optics of the conflict, or were victims of propaganda that didn't tell the true story. This is the case for most wars. I'd argue most (but not all) veterans regardless of what side they were on or conflict they served in are victims to a degree and deserve sympathy. There isn't a clear cut good and bad, it's a bit more complicated than that.

I'm not "mad" about anything. but yes, you have correctly identified part of the problem

Russia has been trying to encroach on their land for years and has violated the Geneva Convention. Standing up to this persistent bully is admirable.

flying abroad and inserting yourself into other peoples' conflicts because you got bored would surely qualify

Even if he were just doing this cause he's bored, which probably isn't the reason, how is this affecting you at all or negative? He didn't join CIA, he's a militant fighting Russia. Guide me through your moral compass.

I’m actually dotdotcircle (not sure who Man of Reason is though, not my alt). It doesn’t excuse anything but my trolling and behavior many years ago came from a place of mental illness and an abusive home. I feel like a lot of the people here who were “stuck in a loop” like that had similar reasons even if we were just kids.

This game was so influential on me and I made so many friends. I played off and on since before retail and I really felt like I grew up on this game and played even before middle school. The community could be amazingly bad (I didn’t help) and inappropriate for the people here. It’s very interesting seeing everyone reflect back on it as adults in this thread. If I was a parent I would definitely not want my kids on here when the game wasn’t dead. Even still the people I met helped me through very dark times in my life.

It’s so sad that forums in general are all but dead now. They really offered a different experience than what we have now.

I remember when you gave me Badspots phone number on RTB, I was like 12 lol.

Drama / Re: Plastiware was arrested for child research

« on: January 24, 2023, 10:49:57 PM »

I'm not proud of it, but children were among the images of nudists and I probably should have been more clear about that.  This is why I made it very clear that this was not an okay thing.  Still, I do not believe that my arrest, conviction, and sentence were fair given the circumstances.  Regardless, I had some unresolved issues that I'm glad have been straightended out.  Not really an apology so much as a clarification as to where I am, what I've done, and how I've paid my debt to society.

Consider trying Self Delete again please

Most of my posts back when I was a teenager were on the drama board and it was basically my main anger outlet - the same way that people somehow enjoy browsing social media like Twitter which is just a vortex of ceaseless outrage over nothing, I enjoyed browsing Drama because I liked either watching other people fight, or getting in on these heated debates myself with my underage pea brain.

Nowadays I don't even get angry anymore, I seriously think that my years raging at strangers on this site have permanently purged the emotion from my body. If there's a silver lining to me spending my teenage years being a weapons-grade stupid starfish online, it's definitely that. Ultimately I really do not regret my time here and I met great people in this game whom I still talk to today, but it took me until this thread to realize just how grim the overall atmosphere here was once you turned off the internet filter. Given how unrestricted my internet access was, I really feel like I dodged a bullet not ending up worse than I did, especially after being exposed to a bunch of repulsive stuff back in the day when people were regularly buying keys just to spam forbidden or just downright illegal content.

I feel the exact same way. I was a ragemonster as a kid and young teen but as I got older anger just became something I don't really experience anymore, especially now. I think I only really get pissed when I bump into something like a putz or hit my funny bone really hard on some bullstuff, other than that the most that happens is I'll get mildly annoyed for a few seconds and then get over it.

I have a lot of great memories from this community but it makes me pretty sad looking back on all the nasty stuff that happened here and how much of it I was involved in personally. Numerous permabans, got into arguments on here all the time, etc. So much gross predatory behavior too, I'll never forget Racerboy (known preadtor) begging me to Skype with him with my camera on so he could see me. Dude was a complete freak. I wish the forums/game had some actual moderation beyond Badspot and Rotondo's rare appearance.

does that seem like a connection that a normal person would want to draw attention to

It's pretty edgy but I don't think it goes much further than that. My aunt jokingly calls my dad Dahmer because they share the same first name. Badspot is not normal though regardless I don't think there's any debating that lol
