I really don't get the love some users have for that guy. He was super aggressive, he held grudges like no one else and if you pointed it out then you were concerntrolling. His analysis never really seemed to be anything beyond surface level, and his volume of posting and general vibe made it so media discussions were almost always hostile. I never understood why he never got banned despite having several meltdowns with much hostility.

    I'm not really a prolific poster anywhere because I have this unhealthy thing where if someone is angry at me online I actually feel bad and spend time introspecting. Your post actually makes me feel less alone, I generally am on hexbear to de-stress and I only remember his handle because no one else has given me an angry reply. People here have generally been polite in correcting my idiot opinions.

    dude would come out swinging if you disagreed with him in any way. The general vibe has gotten much better after he left.

    It wasn't really the "getting mad" but more so the instant hostility and grudgekeeping that got to me. It was kinda fun seeing his deranged posts about mundane things, it just wasn't so fun to see how he would have very obvious negative impact on people he interacted with. Especially because he was a power user, so he would often get a lot of support, while the person he was accusing of doing something would be alone. It took me a while to block him because it was nice to see him go off on chuds. He just went off on everyone, which sucked.

    Felt like it was always hostility about shit that didn't matter, too. The most annoying argument I ever had here was him absolutely malding about tongue-in-cheek usage of the term "meatspace" to refer to non-internet stuff

    Yeah, most media discussion threads felt like the mood was "if you like this thing you're a disgusting treat baby" and if you ever acknowledged that then you were a disgusting treat baby for feeling attacked when he was really just criticizing the media itself.

    I remember him getting pretty unpleasant when I disagreed with him about some D&D edition war stuff.

    But still credit where its due

    I remember how I disagreed with him about a hydraulic bed which he thought was soy because hydraulics aren't trustworthy. I thought it was cool and since the guy was single and had built it himself he was probably aware of the dangers of hydraulics and fine with it, so I didn't see anything wrong with it. Ever since that interaction he would bring up how I hated him and loved techbros. When I replied and pointed out how and I why I felt he was being disingenous, he called me a debatebro and a stalker. I told him that he seemed very hostile and paranoid and that was apparently concern trolling. Then he'd do the thing you're describing as well. From then on whenever we interacted he would immideately write about how my reply was part of some sinister plot to... I dunno, make him love Elon Musk?

    But still credit where its due

    But yeah he managed to log off and I'm still here. I gotta count my blessing though, until recently I was posting less and less and I am doing a lot more other stuff these days. Hopefully I can also leave some day. Right now I'm focusing on gaming less, reading more and exercising more, and it is going pretty good! This is a bad day tho, since I'm just spending my time hating on a random online person.

    Yeah same. I still don't understand how he wasn't banned. The dude was incredibly hostile. I remember he accused someone of being a pedophile or something because they liked GoT. It was their first post here. When they wrote they weren't he started to call them debatebros.
    I really do not understand why people unironically enjoyed him

    I miss BMF. Both Ulysses' and BMF's posts had the cadance of bad beat poetry, but If i'm gonna read angry stream-of-conciousness breakdowns of cultural or personal minutiae, I wanna read the one that accuses people of being reptilians instead of gamers.

    Edit: To clarify, I miss Ulysses too. He could be an asshole, but recognized this and logged off to find grass and better things to be mad about. This is an admirable example to us all.

    I'm glad people have decided they don't like him now because he was just not cool. He would get into extremely heated arguments over anything, I had to just stop engaging with any of his posts and block him as soon as that became a feature. He loved to call people redditor debatebros but was easily the most toxic debatebro on this website. He also just hated anyone who enjoyed something he didn't, even if you have legitimate criticism of something doesn't mean someone cannot enjoy it and also agree with those criticism. The obsession with Star Citizen was just annoying and spammy and overly negative - like, why spend so much time on hating something relatively unimportant and making other people hate it too. Just every post he made was overwhelmingly negative and brought down the vibe of the site so much. To this day he is the only person I've ever blocked because he was so annoying.
