The Case Of The Internet, vs. Psyguy

[E-Man]

I can't truly speak for Dazz but if I had to guess, I'd imagine he's bringing it up because, like it or not, Psyguy is a part of the site's history. There has long been bad blood, for lack of a better term, between them but none of us ever knew, assuming everything that's being posted is true (and I have no reason to doubt that it is), just how far he took things. Given that this site started off on his server, people who know our history may seek him out for their own start and be screwed as a result so I think, if I had to guess Dazz's motivation, it's just to spread the word and try to prevent this from happening to others.

As for why I'm liking these posts, it's more or less for the same reason as well as some personal experience with his selfishness (though not nearly on the level of most of the rest of these stories). If you read the post Kail made (found here), you'll pretty much see my stance because we shared the same experience with him (given that we started Muscle Tower together). Personally, I was never a fan of his, he was just someone I had heard of through others. However, his show was popular, we needed visitors, he needed a place to go that wouldn't cost him a fortune, and we felt like giving him a shot, figuring he had grown up since the sprites.fireball20xl.com days. We were wrong.

Even if Psyguy wasn't a big part of the site's history and he only acted hateful to a small group of people, it still doesn't make the situation anymore forgivable. I don't know why he acts the way he does, but it's completely uncalled for when Psyguy tortures and verbally abuses anyone at all (let alone someone like Dazz).

What makes my stomach turn even more is that this guy is 31 years old! If this was the kind of behavior coming out of a 14-year-old (or anyone under the age of 20 for that matter), I could slightly understand it; however, calling him a man-child at this point would be more of a compliment. It's made worse by the fact that Psyguy came back to Dazz's territory and still refused to make up for his own spiteful actions in the past, even when everyone else gave him another reasonable chance.

I remember like right before I joined tSR, I tried talking to Psyguy, and the vibe I got from him was "Oh god no thank you" because he was a little pushy and demanding and even as a 13 year old, I knew to stay away from that BS (I doubt he'd even remember me because we talked maybe all of once, I asked him for advice on how to make comics because that was a big thing for me, he suggested that I helped him with his and tried really fucking hard to get me to do so, and I told him "no I wanna make my own content" and I remembering him getting mad and refusing to answer my original question after that. Wasn't even sure if I used the Lunyka Alias at that point yet or not, I don't have the best ability to remember things). Then I joined tSR shortly after that, found the community to be of cool people, and the rest is history.

Yeah, if someone gives off an overall negative vibe (especially on purpose), chances are they're not the kind of people you want to be around. I'm glad that most of the community here doesn't want to give that kind of vibe anymore and want to be more accepting and helpful to others.
