The guy you're talking with went into a downvote rampage in kbin and downvoted my whole history and that of several other people (who deserve an upvote in return, like @KbinItTogether @IHeartBadCode @TheOlympian @blanketswithsmallpox @Satelllliiiiiiiteeee & probably more), just because they downvoted the comment where he said Pizzacake "is a b**ch".
So I would take with a fistful of salt whatever problems he might have had with anyone, specially if he was banned for it. He must be a very caustic person with self-confidence issues if he's so easily hurt as to need to go on childish vindictive crusades against people who happen to disagree with something he said.... I'd say if anything, this behavior is proof that what he's claiming about Pizzacake is likely distorted/magnified by the sad bitterness he must feel for having been banned for it.
You know in all fairness. Some people have difficulty with criticism. It is what it is. You know I tried pointing out to the person, "you are saying things and doing things that make it difficult to believe your story." One of the things the person said to me:
And the thing is, if being critical of your story is starting shit, well that's going to be a problem on social media and it starts to lend credence towards why someone would not be friendly with you. And you know, some people who have really bad issues with criticism go into a victim mentality, and that's what this person comes off as having an issue with. They perpetually put themselves into positions to confirm their bias towards being a victim.
You know, it takes all kinds in this world. Person just really needs to work on being able to take criticism a bit better. I mean we all could, but obviously that person a bit more-so than the rest. But I will say, the person has indicated that they are blocking us. Which, I mean, begs the question who does that person think is benefiting from that block? I know, I'll enjoy the silence and likely a bit more than they will. But doing that, all that really does is reinforce a particular echo in what eventually makes it back to you in comments.
I think that's the great part about people being critical, constructively obviously, you get to see things from different perspectives. I think person came here hoping to see only a single perspective rather than multiple ones and ones that may very well be critical of their narrative. But you know, maybe that is something people "want"? I've not really ever understood the surrounding yourself with a homogenize group's opinion. So maybe I don't understand that mentality. But I can see that the person is very hypersensitive to things outside their homogenized viewpoint and that kind of stuff can cloud one's ability to clearly see events as they are. And that makes it difficult to believe what the person was originally saying.
