Yor acting you know me or something. I don't remember askng for sympathy at all I just said I was leaving...this has been my first time on this forum with one account I saw I a link on someones YouTube page...I wasn't insinuating that you were lying could have been mistake I don't know I'm not computer savy. But it's whatever I'm done I'll leave
I
do know you (as far as this forum is concerned), KaitoKid0, and I remember all the posts by you I had to delete when you used a plethora of profanities toward other members just because they couldn't understand your willingness to antagonize them for not liking the Haibara & Conan pairing. It was (and continues to be) a little absurd, to be honest.

Well, if it weren't for his past actions, I'd maybe be more willing to let it play out as a joke, but his best course of action would have been to not lie about it and ignore the discussion altogether. I really don't have much sympathy for people who have to be learned to have some common decency and respect for others, and that was (and remains) the case with KaitoKid0. Before he got banned and realized that people here just don't take kindly to being verbally assaulted in every other post, he never let up with it. Any disagreement he had led to profanities, and after countless (boy, do I mean
countless) warnings about it, he eventually got to the point where we were only having to delete one out of every five posts (as opposed to four of five). He had another round of slip-ups and that's how he ended up where he is now. So, really, my issue is that he isn't trying to "start over" but is instead just trying to get back in and skirt by. If he was starting over, he'd have ditched his hostile nature from the get-go.
Beyond that, I'm not pretending to be overtly nice or forgiving, because I've witnessed firsthand how he has to be forced to play nice. If he hadn't been forced to before, he'd still be acting exactly as he once was (there are indications of it in his new account's posts, even, sadly). I can go into the moderation logs and find all of the posts by him we've had to delete, and I can promise they aren't pretty. If he had truly changed his nature and was no longer so spiteful and nasty to everyone, then maybe we could really hash something out, but without us being on his case and him trying to (very terribly) hide his old identity, he'd be right back to where he was. I have no doubt he'll make another account if he really does "leave" so we haven't really seen the last of him regardless. If he'd like to admit he was frequently mean-spirited to everyone and even apologize to them for once, I'd maybe be more willing to sympathize, but instead he decided to blame everyone else for "starting it"--always.
I love reading the posts by the members of this forum (outside of well, you can guess), because they really set a great example for new members and--to me--exemplify what a forum should be. There's really no need for everyone to immediately start hurling coarse and violent language at one another (
especially over their favorite pairing amongst the principal characters); it should more be a place where people can come and casually discuss one of their favorite series and talk about randomness.
Instead, it sometimes gets a little nasty, and it's at that point that the mods step in. Not everyone likes that sort of intervention, but if they don't...
I like to remind them there's a roadmap here. In KaitoKid0's case, maybe he'd prefer an unregulated Naruto forum or to up his visits to the comment-wasteland that is YouTube?
Nonetheless, this place should be a distraction from stressful things in their lives--not the opposite, which is why we are still extremely relaxed here even where, in other forums, people would get banned 100 posts before they do here (KaitoKid0 may have had more posts deleted than you do posted, CC; gotta catch up!). I spend time responding to posts that would garner two lines max elsewhere, just because I don't want people to think I act without consideration; they may justify it that way and blame everyone but themselves, but since there have been thousands of people come here and only four or five have earned bans, I think I can live with a few people who don't like me/us/everyone.
To me, it's really just as simple as utilizing the golden rule. If someone opts not to, they're eventually going to get banned, because there's really no reason to take it as seriously as someone like KaitoKid0 did. He kind of acted as if he were an outlaw in the Wild West, where the established order was second to whatever he felt like saying/doing.
(I think it's proof enough of just how rudely he presented himself that someone jokingly used him as an example of such... some
nine months since his last post under that account. Boy knows how to leave an impression!
