I told him to ignore motown or I'd do it for him (which btw has been done and he didn't even notice because he doesn't actually care - which is the part that none of you seem to understand and continuing to give him the benefit of the doubt is not only stupid, but it's the reason we are all having to even deal with any of this bullshit) He went on a pretty significant unhinged rant and personally attacked me. I ignored that and told him he can comply or he can move on from the community in very clear terms. He told me to go fuck myself, which in my very clear terms is like yelling "IM BANNING MYSELF" Boy, you sure pulled one over on the (self admitted) mentally ill guy who has a really hard time letting things go. You should pat yourself on the back for that one.

April 5, 20241 yr I think the personal attacks on imma were and are a problem. I’ll emphatically agree with that. I do think those attacks and starting this thread warranted a month off but not permanent. A top 1% contributor was banned that’s crazy to me. Not my house, not my rules. But I guess we’re done here.

List the posters with (diagnosed) mental illness. Then we can look at who is picking on them and act accordingly. Of course it’s easier to get rid of someone with mental health issues than deal with dickheads who like to repeatedly bully that person. You missed your calling as a 7th grade teacher
April 5, 20241 yr 20 hours ago, shadow_operative said: the long and short of it is that bob has personally banned motownhorn three times in the last few weeks for coming after me. bob explicitly told motown that if he posted about me anymore he would be banned, and motown wouldn’t stop, so he kept getting banned. this was last wednesday: that’s a text between me and bob. bob and i have been going out to eat, including dinners with my mom, to help out with the dynamic between me and shaggy. bob banned motownhorn for a month last wednesday and said that if he posted about me again he would be IP banned. immamac then lifted that ban without talking to bob, and tonight motown again came after me unprovoked, so i texted bob, expecting him to follow through. instead, i just got a PM from immamac telling ME to ignore motown or be permabanmed. fuck everything about this. i have gone so above and beyond to do my part to be a contributing member here, and immamac just doesn’t give a fuck. bob and i have been meeting and texting and working on all of this, we have made deals, deals where I have held up my end of the bargain, but immamac gives no fucks about any of this. it’s his site, so fuck bob, fuck me, fuck my mom, fuck everything we’ve been doing, immamac is lifting motown’s ban and permbanning me instead. that’s surly for you. fuck immamac. aggy fucking cunt. I’d complain.
April 5, 20241 yr No one has given any examples or even actually tried to say there is a legitimate issue with bullying. This site doesn’t foster bullies and Derka not posting here has to do with non compliance and being actually openly adversarial to me and the instructions and rules of the community. He is choosing not to participate after he’s been given a chance no one in the history of any of the iterations of the site has been given.

I don’t see it as bullying, but some on the board, as evidenced by posts on this thread, think it exists. You’re being conveniently pedantic if you don’t see other posters deliberately fucking with Derka. On one hand, yeah, he should ignore the motherfuckers, but you pulling the Sgt Shultz routine is horseshit.

April 5, 20241 yr Popular Post This thread is not good for me and I’m bowing out. Two of my children lost friends to suicide caused by online bullying. One was friend of my eldest daughter’s friend and was a trans girl with a very supportive family and friend group and the other was my eldest son's best friend who was a wonderful boy but who was very insecure and lacked impulse control. Both were bullied online. Derka you are a wonderful person and I wish you nothing but happiness in your life.

Maybe, just maybe, you can show some compassion to someone who is going through some shit in real life and this place means a lot more to him than it does to the rest of us. And you can make some small accommodations for him (like actually doing something when he is being bullied - and everyone here knows damn well it does happen regularly). It doesn't seem like much to me, I dunno. The older I get, the more I see the value in helping others and being kind. But maybe that's not you and this is your toy, so do what you want.

April 6, 20241 yr Man, B, I am truly sad things have come to this. You are a such a great, passionate fan of the University of Texas--absolutely nothing should detract from that. But we can't control everyone's reactions to us/our interactions = if those reactions are causing negative consequences for YOU, you have got to figure out a different response and/or remove yourself from the situation. There are times in life where the answer won't be "we need to fix that person". This isn't the forum to get too deep into it, but that comes very personal experiences related to what you describe. Hopefully this doesn't come across as overly harsh/negative as I have thought (many times) about whether to jump into these threads based on our personal interactions. For that haven't experienced, Derka is one of the most genuine/passionate/positive individuals--that can definitely get lost based on internet posts. It seems likes immamac feels the need to do this for the site/a personally-owned business, and (IMHO) that should be ok--I think you should continue to talk Texas sports year round and would gladly pay for your $9.95 sub anywhere (side note/full disclosure: you can also find me not posting much on OBs and I post that knowing the ridicule sure to come). Also, I promise you, I still have songs due to you on my playlist: M.I's Understand, These Ideas, All at Once and your Ridin in Lines and MIXTAPE!.... "Jumpin' right in it ain't no need to state my name....."

April 6, 20241 yr Popular Post Derka’s getting banned, but the idiots who have been banned multiple times and continue to come back and post hundreds if not thousands of times trolling and spreading bullshit get literally nothing until they are crowdsourced. I only spent two months on HF, before Shaggy was created, so never got the hate, because I didn’t experience it. This sure seems like the beginning of the end. It was a good run.
April 6, 20241 yr I was never on HF. I think I was on Shaggy for quite a while, but I was not aware of the Lorree thing people are referring to. Can someone fill the rest of us in?
