Massive drama between /r/MensRights, /r/againstmensrights, and /r/AMRsucks when a user claims to have been doxxed after making a series of posts on reddit (self.ThePopcornStand)

submitted by porygonzguy@porygonzguy - stickied post

Please note that this is still ongoing so edits will be posted both at the bottom of this thread and in the comments. Also, doxxing is against reddit's TOS; regardless of your personal opinions on this, DO NOT DOXX ANYONE INVOLVED IN THIS. I have strong enough faith in the character of this community that I do not think that this will be a problem, but I want everyone to know that we won't be taking doxxing attempts lightly. /r/SubredditDrama has gotten into a lot of hot water with the admins this week for brigading threads; I really don't want this sub to get in trouble for something that's even worse.

So, our story starts on Thursday with posts made by /u/yasserkhan1, as seen here and here in screenshots posted on /u/sworebytheprecious's blog, http://darkhorseswore.com. In a blog post that was linked to /r/againstmensrights, /u/sworebytheprecious claims to have "gotten their hands dirty", "verified who he was in real life", and "reported him to the local police and a number of online communities he uses to perpetuate his dangerous behavior". /u/sworebytheprecious goes on to say that they "did not doxx him: far from it. [i] responded to a dangerous individual who needed help."; a statement which, if the (alleged) responses further down are true, the mods and admins she messaged do not agree with, as seen here (the alleged response from the admins)

Hi. This user has not broken an rules on the site that we can see. There is also no proof that he has done anything illegal.

As you have contacted the authorities we will be able to provide them with information through a subpoena. It is best to let their investigation decide if this user is a danger to others.

Thanks for the info.

and here (the mods responses)

If you have a specific comment within this subreddit that is of a threatening nature that you would like to report to us, then do so.

Reddit is not a law enforcement community and doxxing is never the answer. If you have a genuine, real-life safety concern then you should file a police report, or if you have already done so, then continue working with the police.

Yeah, I’d say your best bet is to deal with law enforcement regarding this matter. I cannot ban someone based on posts that could be photoshop. If you have actual links to content where he explicity admits to commiting a crime then I will glaldy ban him.

You’re triggering me.

The /r/againstmensrights thread she posted has several deleted responses, most likely by /u/yasserkhan1. If anyone has the content of those posts, please post them in the comment section.

/r/AMRsucks quickly picks up this thread, linking to it. Users take issue with the fact that /u/sworebytheprecious (allegedly) doxxed /u/yasserkhan1 and the admins didn't shadowban her, as well as laughing that she "most likely spent all of this time and energy going after a troll.". /u/yasserkhan1 shows up in this thread as well (the two replies to the linked comment), claiming that his posts were taken out of context and stating that he will be consulting a lawyer.

10 hours ago, /u/yasserkhan1 posts (main post has been removed, see here for a copy) to /r/MensRights, claiming to have been denied entry to a Burning Man camp, as well as his personal contacts and place of employment being notified of his "status" as a rapist and sex offender. He alleges that this is a result of a group of feminists targeting him because of "a rape role-play I did, with my consenting girlfriend at the time, on reddit". This /r/MensRights thread is linked to by both /r/againstmensrights and /r/AMRsucks, the later of which is linked to /r/againstmensrights.

As /u/yasserkhan1 says he will be contacting his lawyer on Monday, I don't doubt that this will be a continual source of drama.

For anyone still keeping up with this the rape "victim" showed up in AMR to point out that it was consensual.

Swore removed her comment for (you can't make this shit up) doxxing herself.

[–]Santa_Claauz 5 ポイント6 ポイント

I think you can still see it on her user page.

For easy reading, and in case it gets deleted:

WHILE IM EXTREMELY FLATTERED THAT YOURE INTERESTED IN MY SEXUAL EXPLOITS I WOULD HAVE PREFERED THAT YOU AT LEAST CONTACTED ME BEFORE YOU DECIDED TO USE ME AS EXAMPLE OF SOME SORT OF ABUSED FEMALE.

[His name] sent me a link to this posting. I am the girl who he mentioned in his comment. Let me clarify this was completely consensual, we even dated for a year after this. He has a sarcastic sense of humor but to go around slandering someone in their personal or professional life for a comment made on reddit is dangerous and irresponsible. At the least you could have had the courtesy to contact me, I see he posted my user name, to verify this before you went ahead with your nonsense. I hope you guys take the same effort to clear his name as you did to smear it. - [Her name]

[–]zahlmanex-SRD mod 3 ポイント4 ポイント

while i appreciate your candor, i did not once use you as an example of "some abused female." on the contrary; i went to special lengths to keep your name and user name out of everything as much as possible.

... I... just... wow.

I know, right? She wins Gold in the mental gymnastics.

[–]porygonzguy@porygonzguy[S] 1 ポイント2 ポイント

I also took a screenshot of it, believe it's either in Edit 1 or 2.

[–]ReLiC71 1 ポイント2 ポイント

OMG, you doxxed them both!

/s

(Edit 1)

[–]porygonzguy@porygonzguy[S] 1 ポイント2 ポイント

Ah, thank you. Couldn't remember which one it was.

Want to know the hilarious bit? Swore removed /u/yasserkhan1's ex's post because it contained "doxx" (presumably /u/yasserkhan1's name, which was, well, Yasser. Go figure.), but one of the images on her blog post has the filename of "Yasser".

Which means that if his ex doxxed him by posting his name, then Swore definitely doxxed him by naming a filename with his name.

[–]ReLiC71 1 ポイント2 ポイント

Yeah, it was because the gf mentioned his name. Mentioning her own name was allowed, by Swore's own admission.

And she left his username, containing his real name, on every screenshot so she's still doxxing him* on her blog.

I also suspect that she came back again, under yet another name. I spotted a new account using no caps. It made four posts, all were downvoted really quickly, even though I didn't share the new username because I just wanted to keep an eye on it, and then the account deleted itself. I bet the next one learns how to use the Shift key.

e: typo

[–]porygonzguy@porygonzguy[S] 1 ポイント2 ポイント

I bet the next one learns how to use the Shift key.

Doubt it. Apparently they do it on purpose, according to a post on their blog.

[–]ReLiC71 1 ポイント2 ポイント

It's a very identifiable trait, though. If she really wanted to evade a banning, it'd have to be the easiest way.

Not that I want her to evade a ban. She doesn't deserve to be here any more.

[–]GammaKing 25 ポイント26 ポイント

Who wants to bet that the admins do fuck all about this?

i did not doxx him: far from it. i responded to a dangerous individual who needed help.

Code for: I doxxed him, but I think I was justified.

on Reddit, my aim was to have his handle and IP banned for his disgusting behavior, and i went as far as to notify the mods of subreddits who he was and what he has claimed to do so they could identify him if he attended any events or meetups, and let their users know if they desired. on Facebook i hoped to have his account removed and reported. he has a business which houses people so i let the owners of that business know who he was and what he was capable of, not only for what he had admitted to do and might be capable of in the future, but because i found he broke their terms of service with a prior unreported arrest and conviction. i doubt anyone could fault me for reporting an admitted rapist and violent felon was operating a business which would give him ample access to travelers in need of housing. online venues exhausted, i finally packed up my laptop to go down to the police station to make a report through the official channels.

Sounds like a wrapped up harassment case right there. The AMR lunatics truly are dangerous.

edit: Faith in the admins restored. Good job guys.

[–]porygonzguy@porygonzguy[S] 14 ポイント15 ポイント

Who wants to bet that the admins do fuck all about this?

Several people have already reported her to the admins for doxxing, they're well aware at this point. Whether they do anything or not is up for debate; just from her blog post it's obvious that she doxxed him.

so, i got my hands dirty: i verified who he was in real life

[–]GammaKing 10 ポイント11 ポイント

Yeah, even putting aside site rules it's clear that people trying this sort of vigilantism shouldn't be allowed on Reddit. Passing spurious accusations to the local law enforcement is one thing, but then sending that information around to the individual's contacts and employer? This attitude is what makes AMR particularly toxic.

[–]porygonzguy@porygonzguy[S] 19 ポイント20 ポイント

From what I can tell, she sent the information to:

1) The moderators of the subs those comments were posted in

2) The moderators of *every* subreddit he's posted in

3) The admins

4) The police

5) His friends (and although he didn't mention it in his post to MR, I'm going to guess she messaged his family as well)

6) His place of employment

7) Coordinators of places he was planning on going to

8) Social media sites (Facebook, etc.)

That goes way, way, way beyond what would be reasonable. This reads like someone with a grudge doing whatever it takes to fuck around with someone's life.

[–]GammaKing 16 ポイント17 ポイント

But didn't you hear? This guy is a RAPIST (no matter what the 'victim' may think or whether it was consensual. AMR are the ultimate authority on this). He also hit his girlfriend once. Clearly that merits trying to systematically ruin someone's reputation - it's not like local law enforcement are going to act on this because RAPE CULTURE.

These people are fucking ridiculous.

[–]yasserkhan1 10 ポイント11 ポイント

actually i never hit my girlfriend, or any girl for that matter. I even had a girl beat me up once and still didnt touch her. but i digress.

Here is the full "I hit my girlfriend" story which was just a prank for my Facebook buddies, she edited the text to suit her agenda:

Below is screen shot of the Facebook note I made for my friends 4 years ago, She posted a response claiming I edited in the latter half. Truth be told the story was copy/pasted from a internet prank that was going around back then, if you google the text it will come up:

Wow... proof positive that AMR only sees what it wants to see.

Thanks for the clarification, I'm sorry these vile people have done this to you.

Have you considered calling the police and reporting swore for harassment?

[–]yasserkhan1 2 ポイント3 ポイント

not sure what the would do being we are in different states and most police reports have to be filed in person. plus this is a hard thing to explain to cops.

[–]5th_Law_of_Robotics 14 ポイント15 ポイント

Which is scary actually, if they've justified in their minds doxxing everyone who is a rapist (according to them) where is the line? They refer to everyone at MR as a literal rapist. Which means they feel justified in doxxing anyone they can from that sub.

And the admins apparently gave them the green light.

[–]GammaKing 12 ポイント13 ポイント

That's the thing - I'm fairly sure that AMR will gladly doxx anyone from MR that they can. How such a hateful sub is still around bewilders me.

[–]srder 9 ポイント10 ポイント

How such a hateful sub is still around bewilders me.

The admins should ban stalker-subs like them (e.g. ones that have a hate-boner for another particular subreddit or redditor). They can just become so much more toxic than similar communities that aren't so obsessive.

[–]GourangaPlusPlus 2 ポイント3 ポイント

They probably think the same thing the other way round

[–]zahlmanex-SRD mod 4 ポイント5 ポイント

Is any of this actually evidenced? For example, have mods of subs come forward to acknowledge that they received the information? And messaging the admins with doxx, really? That's like trying to steal from a security guard on your way out of a building.

[–]porygonzguy@porygonzguy[S] 5 ポイント6 ポイント

Is any of this actually evidenced? For example, have mods of subs come forward to acknowledge that they received the information?

As far as I know, no. Which is why I say they're alleged replies from the admins/mods. Given that she posts screenshots of this guys "rapist admissions", yet posts the replies from the mods/admins as text, I'm somewhat suspicious of whether she got the replies seen on her blog, got replies at all, or if she actually sent messages to the mods/admins in the first place.

And messaging the admins with doxx, really?

That's the thing though, she doesn't see what she did as doxx.

[–]19bfriendzonest 5 ポイント6 ポイント

I asked her what she has against capital letters and I got banned.

[–]porygonzguy@porygonzguy[S] 5 ポイント6 ポイント

Maybe capital letters trigger her.

[–]ReLiC71 6 ポイント7 ポイント

No, she's just contrary

i don’t like using capitals. enough people are whining about it that i have decided to double down and not use them, ever, even for proper names. not using them is not some kind of laziness on my part: i am a big e.e.cummings fan. maybe when i get paid i’ll start. until then, this particular style choice stays.

The delicious part is that a mere two sentence later she says i’ll be upgrading and adding the previous reddit posts on Dark Horse here too. give me time, people, give me time.

Oh, no! Capital letters.

[–]5th_Law_of_Robotics 11 ポイント12 ポイント

She tracked down his personal information, attached that to his online persona, and made all that public without his consent...that's the definition of doxxing. I don't understand how she denies it.

[–]ReLiC71 7 ポイント8 ポイント

You might want to add that the quoted text proving that he's a 'violent abuser' is taken from a Fresh Prince copypasta that's at least 3 years old

[–]porygonzguy@porygonzguy[S] 8 ポイント9 ポイント

Edit 3:

Alright, massive update.

First and foremost /u/sworebytheprecious's account has either been shadowbanned or deleted. Can't tell which one due to the admins changing the .json aspect of accounts, or whatever it was that allowed us to differentiate between the two. Whichever the case, her account ceased to be approximately two hours ago, although that doesn't stop her from making a new account (/u/darkhorseswore), meaning this wasn't an IP ban.

Now, onto some new threads!

First is an /r/againstmensrights thread made after /u/sworebytheprecious removed the post by /u/yasserkhan1's ex (see Edit 1 for more information) in which AMR makes fun of MRA's getting upset that important information proving /u/sworebytheprecious wrong was removed for being "doxxing"; also people not understanding that stalking someone offline and looking up information that isn't posted on their reddit account *is* doxxing (looking at you /u/AMRthroaway).

Second is another /r/againstmensrights thread wondering if they went too far in either contacting /u/yasserkhan1's place of employment, social contacts, and places of interest - not too far to wonder if he is actually a rapist or not (spoiler; they still think he's a rapist).

Finally are a series of /r/AMRsucks threads detailing her shadowban and implications for further instances of this sort of behaviour.

[–]Nechaev 20 ポイント21 ポイント

I'm pretty surprised the admins are cool with this. They shadow-ban people for all sorts of minor trifles yet when something potentially serious in real happens as a consequence of something on reddit they just sit on their hands.

AMR has to be one the most bitter and twisted subs on reddit. They're a hate group if I ever saw one.

edit: She's been shadowbanned now. Faith in humanity/admins restored.

[–]getthruthis1 8 ポイント9 ポイント

If your life consists of finding sexism behind every nook & cranny, and then whining about it on the internet for hours on a daily basis, then you are not an opressed person.

Its a win-win situation for them. If she or the sub gets banned then to them thats just one more "injustice" they have to face; it would validate their worldview that society is against them.

[–]5th_Law_of_Robotics 8 ポイント9 ポイント

They don't want to be accused of defending a possible rapist. Easier to simply sit idly by and deny everything later.

[–]Nechaev 12 ポイント13 ポイント

Neither do I, but a couple of incriminating posts don't consitute a criminal conviction. In any event, banning an internet vigilante (even if they have all their facts correct) doesn't mean supporting this allegedly dreadful person. It just means reddit will not tolerate their medium being used in such a dubious manner.

The simple thing to do is ban them both and let the police sort it out. Otherwise we're going to end up with a situation where doxxing people because they post to certain types of subs is going to become acceptable. What's to stop some anti-marijuana zealot from doxxing the /r/trees crowd because they confess to actions which are illegal in many places? And reddit is just full of people admitting to crimes of one kind or another.

It's an incredibly stupid move for the admins to waive their rules on the possibility that they might be protecting a "bad person" on this particular occassion. This could really backfire in the long run.

I hope they think the implications through a little more. I wouldn't even care to imagine what a nightmare the world would be if people ran their lives according to the principle of "I don't want some SJWtards accusing me of being a rape apologist/racist/transphobe (or whatever) so I better just do what they tell me to".

[–]5th_Law_of_Robotics 6 ポイント7 ポイント

Oh I don't agree with their course of (in)action. But that's their thinking.

[–]Nechaev 5 ポイント6 ポイント

Yeah I understand.

Your comment just got me thinking and I felt like elaborating a little.

[–]Sporkicide[A] 6 ポイント7 ポイント

We're hardly "cool" with it, but it is an extremely complex situation and there are more angles than just those that have been presented in the linked subreddits.

[–]5th_Law_of_Robotics 11 ポイント12 ポイント

Will anything be done to the sub that hosted and supported her doxxing efforts?

If not I worry they'll just do this again. An official warning at the very least, a public admonishment of their reprehensible behavior....

[–]SpentWordsworth 1 ポイント2 ポイント

Don't ask for a public admonishment. People like this don't need that kind of attention.

[–]5th_Law_of_Robotics 4 ポイント5 ポイント

At least for the sub. They will try to forget this happened. The remodded swore immediately after so clearly they have no regrets. They just aren't happy they were caught.

If we let them bury this they will do it again. They must be reminded over and over what their sub is about.

Applying the sites rules consistenly is incredibly important, both for the users and the admins.

[–]WalterMatthau 0 ポイント1 ポイント

They barely took any step at all, why are you congratulating them? The user worked around the shadowban in less than an hour.

/u/Sporkicide gave a weak answer backed up by a "punishment" so impotent it would make Bob Dole blush.

[–]srder 5 ポイント6 ポイント

The user worked around the shadowban in less than an hour.

Not quite. They shadowbanned her new account too.

[–]Nechaev 5 ポイント6 ポイント

I was exaggerating a little with "the faith in humanity" comment, but a shadowban is the right idea. They don't IP ban often. It's only for incrediby persistent trouble-makers who continue to thwart shadowbans (without alterring their behaviour). Perhaps if this Sworebytheprecious person persists with her crusade they will consider it.

Even if they do an IP ban there are plenty of ways around it. Shadowbans are symbolic more than anything practical.

I'm not sure what else they can do. They could ban the sub I suppose, but it will be back under a different name pretty quickly if they did so. It's not that effective.

Reddit isn't a law enforcement agency and I don't think they want to be one. All they can do after this is to make their records and logs available to any law enforcement agencies who require them.

I just want reddit to handle things neutrally and not to bend the rules because they thought somebody might have been a rapist.

[–]porygonzguy@porygonzguy[S] 7 ポイント8 ポイント

Edit 1:

/u/yasserkhan1's ex-girlfriend, /u/bitchybarbie82, has issued a statement (comment deleted, still visible in her history or here as a screenshot). Basically /u/sworebytheprecious gets called out for not even checking to make sure her facts were correct before she went on her noble crusade, to which she says "well, he lied about raping you which is just as bad as raping you so he deserved to get reported". She also, apparently, doesn't understand that collecting information about someone that they didn't post on reddit is in fact doxxing. The post was removed under the incredibly flimsy excuse of /u/bitchybarbie82 "doxxing" /u/yasserkhan1, which results in other users calling her out on censuring an opposing viewpoint.

/r/AMRsucks currently has a thread up discussing this. Apparently /u/yasserkhan1 has contacted the admins and hasn't heard back from them at all regarding this (although, like with /u/sworebytheprecious, I wish people would actually post the messages they sent...)

I know they shutted a sub down for alleged pedophilia because someone posted a girl in a monokini that may have been 17 instead of 18 (there wasn't any proof either way so they shut it down just to be safe, which is a pretty sensible thing to do imo).

But they don't shut this one for hate crime?

[–]yasserkhan1 2 ポイント3 ポイント

to be honest I wouldn't have been as upset if they just contacted the police as the investigation would have been open/shut but going so far as to reach out to my social and business contacts so matter of factly without any proof has been a cluster fuck.

[–]Legolas-the-elf 2 ポイント3 ポイント

Well there's always the time Aerik posted pn6's real name in AMR and credited manboobz with the discovery. That would be the same manboobz that both John the Other and Qanan accused of being responsible for disclosing their personal information and who ended up getting shadow banned for doxxing (hilariously, what he ended up getting banned for was benign).

Of course, the pn6 user account has been deleted, but that won't stop Aerik, as he makes a point of linking him to newer accounts when he drops older accounts.

Bonus link from the above search: when somebody posted a script in /r/MensRights that scrubbed your account history to avoid potential doxxing, Aerik called it paranoid, despite clearly not liking the fact pn6 deleted his history. When somebody asked "Isn't Doxxing someone something that should be considered bad?", they were buried by down votes.

[–]notnotnotfred 1 ポイント2 ポイント

I've reported Aerik for stalking and I've publicly complained about Aerik's stalking more than once. The Admins know I've linked your example to them. They need to take action. Somewhere in your history you demonstrate a series of name changes I made in rapid succession, in order to avoid harassment.

Edit 4: In Edit 3 I had noted that after her shadowban, she created a new account, /u/darkhorseswore. Well, that account has been shadowbanned as well.

I have to say the effort you put into this thread and all the edits are awesome. This is way more detailed than the SRD thread and any others. I'll be saving this thread for laughs later.

[–]porygonzguy@porygonzguy[S] 2 ポイント3 ポイント

Thank you!

[–]srder 1 ポイント2 ポイント

Yeah. I would have missed/ignored this drama if not for your writeup.

[–]porygonzguy@porygonzguy[S] 1 ポイント2 ポイント

SRD hadn't picked up on it until yesterday, and their coverage of it wasn't nearly as comprehensive as mine.

Ugh, this is painful to read. The internet anonymity = mask metaphor isn't some deep observation that you can carry on for pages, and thesaurus.com is not a magical 'sound smarter' tool.

Also (s)he'll definitely check referrers to that blog post at some point and be reading this comment, so: Hello. Take a writing class.

She also wrote a series about the time she creeped around the men's rights conference in Detroit (she didn't go in because she didn't want to buy a ticket).

Basically she got AMR to pay to send her there to hang out eating pizza and writing angsty teenage diary style nonsense about how much danger she was in.

Its pretty hilarious.

[–]Celda 2 ポイント3 ポイント

Link?

[–]5th_Law_of_Robotics 5 ポイント6 ポイント

I'm having a hard time tracking down the blog on my phone but she posted a series under the title "operation dark horse part...." in AMR.

http://www.reddit.com/r/againstmensrights/comments/27rxlr/announcing_operation_dark_horse/

I think that has links to the others.

Trigger warning: verbose teenage diary that takes itself way too seriously.

[–]porygonzguy@porygonzguy[S] 8 ポイント9 ポイント

I'm fairly sure she must be getting paid by the word because there is really no need to fluff that much.

Take a writing class.

Yeah, her writing is horrendously awful.

The metaphor about the wall of graffiti and everyone having their own colors was particularly cringeworthy reading.

I bet the author really patted herself on the back with that one.

[–]ReLiC71 2 ポイント3 ポイント

'Uhh, that sounds so deep. I'm like Jean-Paul Sartre or something. Take that, Patriarchy! Now to tell the harpies and their fawning lapdogs my co-feminists about all the good work I've done.'

[–]Post_op_FTM 1 ポイント2 ポイント

the harpies and their fawning lapdogs

You've displayed a greater mastery of metaphor usage than swore in that example alone.

Also, doxxing is against reddit's TOS; regardless of your personal opinions on this, DO NOT DOXX ANYONE INVOLVED IN THIS.

Hm... by the way, is monitoring what people do on reddit and catalogizing that considered doxxing? Or is it only doxxing if you link to information elsewhere?

[–]DallasTruther 4 ポイント5 ポイント

There was some creepy dude who "as an experiment" used to go through people's comment history and reply to posts with their "revealed" details.

His justification was that since they had posted in a public forum (regardless of subreddit), then anything they had revealed was up for grabs.

I don't know what happened to him, though.

[–]zahlmanex-SRD mod 1 ポイント2 ポイント

Well, /u/user_history_bot didn't get banned after a few months of operation, but seems to have been inactive for a month. So who knows?

[–]genitaliban 0 ポイント1 ポイント

I'm sorta working on the reverse, collecting all posts from several subreddits and building a database out of that. Hence the question.

[–]5th_Law_of_Robotics 4 ポイント5 ポイント

Hm... by the way, is monitoring what people do on reddit and catalogizing that considered doxxing? Or is it only doxxing if you link to information elsewhere?

Wouldn't that mean banning every meta sub?

I'm pretty sure doxxing is agreed to be linking someone's online anonymous identity to their real life actual identity and spreading that info around against the wishes of that person.

[–]GammaKing 2 ポイント3 ポイント

This. Using modmail to distribute doxx isn't the loophole that /u/sworebytheprecious seems to think it is.

[–]srder 2 ポイント3 ポイント

Hm... by the way, is monitoring what people do on reddit and [cataloging] that considered doxxing? Or is it only doxxing if you link to information elsewhere?

The goal of doxxing is to punish or shame someone that you don't like by taking away their online anonymity, so I tend to count any intentional behavior that serves that end.

Though, I wouldn't count reports to the police for criminal behavior. However, I think that report should ONLY include the online material and not any amateur detective work. The Police can make mistakes, but reddit detectives are much worse.

[–]0867F0CBA503A362BD7F 3 ポイント4 ポイント

Hm... by the way, is monitoring what people do on reddit and catalogizing that considered doxxing?

I don't think the admins are very clear on what doxxing is. The whole concept is so nebulous that it's impossible for them to be consistent about it anyway. That's why most subs err ten miles on the side of caution, and why some definitely consider combing through post history to be 'doxxing'. I don't know about whether you'll be shadowbanned for it though.

Awww :(

I felt like a superstar yesteday. I wonder if AMR is still talking about me.

[–]5th_Law_of_Robotics 3 ポイント4 ポイント

Be careful, they'll try to dox you next.

[–]Space_Ninja 2 ポイント3 ポイント

Yeah. Destroying lives is what they do... And I'm the bad guy for rape jokes on the internets!

I have yet to destroy one single life. I'm still a bad person, but I feel like I'm still way better than these people.

[–]ReLiC71 1 ポイント2 ポイント

You nearly destroyed my life when you said you were thinking of leaving Reddit, so you've got that going for you.

[–]Space_Ninja 2 ポイント3 ポイント

Fair enough. Shitlording is just getting to be too much fun, and I'm neglecting my videogame addiction and masturbation.

[–]ReLiC71 1 ポイント2 ポイント

I know that feel, bro. I'm snatching bursts of Dark Souls 2 in between checking in on the drama, to keep myself up to speed.

[–]porygonzguy@porygonzguy[S] 1 ポイント2 ポイント

Sorry :( I can throw in a footnote for you if you want?

[–]Space_Ninja 3 ポイント4 ポイント

Only if you make me look terrible. I did have a big part on this drama, since I was the one that informed the guy about AMR.

[–]yasserkhan1 0 ポイント1 ポイント

thanks man, I really wouldn't have been able to pin point what was happening other wise. i really owe you one. At first I was a little freaked out it was some "anonymous" guys or something and was worried I may be targeted for all sorts of shit like identity fraud etc

[–]Space_Ninja 1 ポイント2 ポイント

No problem. What they were doing to you was way out of line... I just wanted to make sure you knew what was happening.

Longstanding AMR denizen gets banned from /r/AMR for going against the echo chamber and gives /r/AMRSucks some behind the scenes coverage in this thread:
