Even when I ignore it for years it still sneaks up on me and is obnoxious.
So I last blocked this one girl like five years ago because she had a lying problem. I'm aware that being its the internet ,you're going to run into a lot of people who are on the internet who are like... "Its the internet, it doesn't matter, I can make up anything I want and people have no choice but to believe me." And in a way, it can be cool that you can live out those fantasies but its also in a way not cool when you turn that into a vehicle to try to get yourself attention and pity and free art and free stuff. And of course the stories have to be bigger and more crazy every few days to make sure you keep getting that steady flow of attention. I got to the point where I had to ask them to at least keep their stories private and off of my forums... taking a grain of salt the size of Gibralter and assuming their stories are all true. And.. they kinda didn't. And they kinda kept bothering me in aim. And they kinda ignored even the few social boundaries that still exist on the internet. And they just would not stop no matter how politely I asked.
So I've blocked her at least twice because I just couldn't maintain politeness.
It was five peaceful years and sometimes you assume that people have forgotten all about you. It was a surprise when she started messaging me again a little bit ago on another new aim and I thought five years might have helped and she could have grown up. She kinda seemed to act like a person and not a crazy lying mental patient so I didn't immediately block her once I figured out who it was.
So she basically has been talking to me again because of my old mdtas site. Where she wants to use all the profiles and the sound grabs and the screengrabs and of course I wouldn't mind that she did this would she?
I told her I'd prefer if she got her own content. And she told me she was using my content as fillers until she could get her own. So I suggested she put a coming soon page until she could make her own content.
So she immediately changed her story from saying she was using them from my site and asking permission until she 'gets around' to coming up with all of her own content to this: "I got them from some girl who I can't remember who said it was okay if I used them because her site isn't there anymore and she says she can't remember where she got them from."
i.e. She's going to use what she took anyway because it isn't about making her own site, its about... well... I can't even understand what its about? If you put in that much effort to code your own site (which she isn't, someone else is doing that for her too) Wouldn't you want it to be yours?
And all of this would have been something I rolled my eyes and ignored for the most part, other then trying from some deep misquided place in my heart to get people to come up with something original because repeating the same old crap isn't going to "save" the fandom.
But now she's on a rampage about how I'm such a horrible person for telling her no and how she'd let anyone steal her stuff all of the time and I'm a horrible bitch for not doing the same. Its pissed me off JUST enough to bitch about it.
Also to let people know whats going on. Why doesn't mdtas.com update anymore? Why don't I draw duck art anymore? Why do I hide on secret aim names and don't talk to anyone? Here is a good example. I like my fandoms, I still love to draw but when it comes to my free time and my social time, I feel like its quite often poisoned by people like these. Whats the point on getting on and being part of a social group when someone is going to get bitter and nasty and try to lie and rip on you because you did something well within your right and told them no to something they probably shouldn't have done in the first place.
And yes yes I am an adult, I can just ignore behavior like this and continue on with what I think is fun, but I can also be even more of an adult and avoid this entirely and spend my time in places not poisoned by people like this girl.
And that's where I've been all these years.
