Derek I don't want to tell you how to Warlord but I think that after r/ds gets shut down you should make some really incredible claims on Twitter so I can laugh at how helpless all the spergs feel with no outlet to rant about you.

Oh just wait. It's going to be all kinds of beautiful. I have refrained from even saying anything in my Twitter feed about it for now. I am waiting for the glorious day when they set it to read-only.

Has Jester actually said its Derek and goons sending death threats. because he's always vague about the threats you'd think if it was us he'd be shouting it from the rooftops.

I think he's saying that people often reported death threats coming from the hate-sub, not that he had been receiving death threats.

He's a proven liar and dirt bag, so there is no reason to believe anything he says. And yeah, if it were us, he would be quick to say it.

The peanut gallery seems to think jester and co are being death threated by us in closing down the sub even though jester has been pretty clear he's actually sick of the peanut gallery itself and gets the pms from them.

He seems to imply, but not outright say, that its the regular ds posters doing it. He even explicitly says its not us.

But of course theres shittons of comments where they chose not to read that so we death threat people now.


Honestly I can't really think of a goon who would get mad enough at the mod policies of that sub to even write a pm outside of beet or Derek.

Yea I don't get that either. His posts are either ignored for being too long/hot winded or made fun of.

I guess we are his crew because we haven't permabanned him or something and we made him a joke mod for a few months.

It's amazing to see /r/ds still in collective meltdown mode. Of course it's the usual rear end-clowns who have used it as hate sub who are the most pissed that their echo chamber hug box is no more. God I hope they migrate to /r/starcitizen - that would be totally awesome :grin:

So they have restricted new submissions, but it looks like you can still post for now.

They don't exist most of the time. Contrary to popular belief its actually fairly rare for someone to get so upset over something that they put a death threat in writing and send it.

Not saying Jester is lying I have no idea but its just so simple to say and get instant sympathy and backpedaling from the other side in other sorts of arguments.

I keep trying to imagine what it must be like to be so unable to deal with different viewpoints that you reach the level of r/ds posters but I really can't wrap my head around it. It's a video game, you know? It's okay to just... be wrong, once in a while. Life must be intensely insecure if you can't admit to yourself even for a hot second that you've ever had an incorrect or uninformed opinion about something. You'd spent all your time twisted up in logical knots, doubling down on every last semantic argument in the hopes that anyone pointing out your inconsistency would eventually just get bored and go away.

People like that must be incredibly easy to sidetrack and troll basically forever. All it would take is one person loudly insisting they are wrong, about anything, and then never... going... away...

Huh, I think I just grokked it.
