<2022-10-05T00:32:48.000Z> hikari@shortstackran.ch: The entire context of the conflict is there to be read, there's no hidden element you're missing.Goose's assessment is correct though, Jon is autistic as it gets so to some degree, I got what I deserved by trying to engage him as though he wasn't.They're just different and weird and I'm not sure how to interact with them lol
<2022-10-05T01:04:06.000Z> merchantHelios: frankly i was thrown off a bit when mongoose came in swinging seeming like he was defending jon only to pull the "oh you were talking about that?" 
<2022-10-05T01:04:36.000Z> merchantHelios: it's w/e though. cordial end for me, to what couldve very much been a hellthread 
<2022-10-05T01:05:55.000Z> hikari@shortstackran.ch: Pretty much.  Mongoose can play peacekeeper when he wants, so that's good.I'm very pro "just be a normal person" online
<2022-10-05T01:07:14.000Z> merchantHelios: the ever-controversial 'lets not be assholes' position 
<2022-10-05T01:09:12.000Z> hikari@shortstackran.ch: I tried apologizing and reasoning with Royal Johnny once before but he's so on guard against "bad faith actors" that he thought I was stalking him and trying to hurt him.I don't know how people end up like this but it goes a long way towards making me pessimistic on the idea of forming a movement from people this broken
<2022-10-05T01:13:46.000Z> merchantHelios: that is def strange behaviour 
<2022-10-05T01:15:48.000Z> hikari@shortstackran.ch: I think he's probably suffering from genuine paranoid schizophrenia. I know "schizo" gets thrown around a lot, but when you've seen it once, you recognize it.The dopamine feedback he gets from people entertained by his violent rage posting are probably hurting him, but there's literally nothing I can do to help him so I guess I'll just pray 
<2022-10-05T01:16:17.000Z> merchantHelios: end of the day that's all we can do for a lot of people 
<2022-10-05T01:19:15.000Z> hikari@shortstackran.ch: The burning hot stove top I keep touching is the idea that I can rescue every suffering person, especially when they don't want me to lol
<2022-10-13T03:29:07.000Z> merchantHelios: That guy strikes me as a bit of a sperg
<2022-10-13T03:42:44.000Z> hikari@shortstackran.ch: Everything he's said is reasonable to me. People read his attack on agartha as an attack against anime for some reasonNot his fault
<2022-10-13T03:44:47.000Z> merchantHelios: i think my assessment that he wont last long here, without me doing anything, is probably accurate regardless
<2022-10-13T03:47:23.000Z> hikari@shortstackran.ch: "won't last long here"Lol post isn't some seedy biker bar
<2022-10-13T03:48:55.000Z> merchantHelios: no, but ive seen enough users like him who usually either become incredibly hardened to dogpiling and make liberal use of the block button - like AnimeTradCath - or they move to another instance 
<2022-10-13T03:49:05.000Z> merchantHelios: i didnt mean it as any sort of cringy threat 
<2022-10-13T04:13:03.000Z> hikari@shortstackran.ch: he should bail on poast for based reasons like the rest of us  :P 
<2022-10-13T05:14:43.000Z> merchantHelios: Correct
