    Make it personal ("you're a dick"), and there ain't no conversation to be had — even though I try.

Ohmahgod, the comedy.

Only FirebrandRoaring would start a conversation saying that he's going to be a dick (i.e. literally, "May I be a dick?"), and then take offense when someone says, "Yeah, you're being a dick. I don't talk to people like you." geee-ZUSS!

If he's not ThatFanficGuy then we attract Russians with the exact same peculiarities. If he is then he should admit it so people who were done with him a year ago should know not to bother

I mean, his wording was weird here but you’ve just become one of the website’s bullies since you decided he was ThatFanficGuy. If you already know you don’t enjoy engaging with him then why do it ? It’s honestly just cringey to have message threads talking about somebody when they can see it. I don’t think Hubski was ever supposed to resemble the hallways of a junior high.

I don't know who ThatFanficGuy is. From what a quick search has shown me, he was around while I was lurking - seems contentious. I've got no stake there, and I'm sorry if I've stumbled across something sensitive in Hub-history.

FR's recent comments rustled my jimmies, and I talked about it to him - nothing more.

Should you delete your account in a huff and come back expecting a fresh start only to do the same shit? He's blocked. If he stayed the other guy he'd still be blocked. And I'd never've gotten to the point where I would do that. This could have been avoided if he'd been honest. He's that guy. The odds are incredibly in favor of that theory. Or there's an epidemic of hypersensitivity in Russia.

My message was about you. You have value here but you’re also a part of every single thread that’s only value is putting somebody else down. If I engaged you in conversation and then stopped I wouldn’t feel it appropriate to just continue the thread with somebody else talking shit about that person.

Imagine in this thread he responded to me and instead of engaging you anymore I just started talking shit about you with him instead. You might not care that much, but I doubt it would make you feel good and it would make me look bad.

I asked you to do better in another thread. Are you going to reply?

nah

Of course not. Because you're a coward. You sit behind the white screen typing shit that makes you feel big, but come time to answer for your words, your ass is under the fucking bridge.
