coming here from the post/your response on SMR just to say thank you. I agree that I don't personally see eye to eye with this blog either, and as such tend to avoid it most of the time unless something specific pops up, but it's good to know that there's at least decent people at the helm of this site who, whatever their differing views from what some of us that frequent SMR have, don't stand for this type of just targeted, baseless harassment. you keep being you over here, and we'll keep being us over there but respect is deserved for the mutual agreement that some things are just going too far o7
ARR is definitely a different breed than SMR, but we have rules for a reason. Salt, being petty, that's fine.
But baseless harassment posted in the main tag? That's like sounding the horn to release the dogs.
I felt awful seeing that someone already responded to the posts saying that they'd received death threats.
That's not drama, that's abuse, and I ain't having it- and I'm glad we agree on that front.
I honestly debated screening the comment with the blog's link to avoid it getting any more attention, but I feel like it should stay up so folks know what to avoid. It's a hard catch-22 tbh.
I wish I was approached with all of these concerns directly instead of having to dig across multiple sites. I was unaware of any death threats. Although it's obvious to me now that would be an outcome (and I don't condone it). Feel free to insult me for my stupidity. After reviewing all of the feedback I've decided to delete the blog. I've saved the name so no one else can use it. And no I don't expect any ass pats for it.
I kind of agree that this is a weird thing to say. People did speak about these concerns with you, just not on your blog, but as a response to your ARR post, which I consider to be direct enough.
Also, you could have realized that people would've been disgruntled about accusations without proof if you did a bit of research into why, exactly, people would be looking for a new drama blog in the first place. The commentary stuff is a part of it, but that's not the whole issue, at least from what I've seen.
And invading the FR tag with your bullshit should have been a no-brainer to NOT do. You already posted the blog to ARR, isn't that advertising enough? That's as invasive as what SMR did and spam-followed FR blogs to get attention.
Excuse me? You are acting like others are at fault for not contacting you directly when you created a blog that was posting direct attacks and harassment on the Flight Rising tag? When you are posting that, what are the odds that talking to you wouldn't bring more attention on and get the poor person further death threats or worse? People were likely too afraid to contact you directly.
Seriously? Shut up, go sit down, and use your head before painting yourself as the victim here. You fucked up. The only reasonable response was to apologize and shut the blog down. Full stop.
kind of ironic suggesting you should've been contacted directly, while publicizing others' usernames leaving them open to harassment, and yet hiding your own... :thinking:
People receive death/suicide threats from SMR too, as people have said as much to the mods/complained on the blog about. Remember kids, don't engage in dumb internet drama on your main accounts.
stg some of these mfs need to actually touch grass (i dont say that lightly) like. please. do something better with your time than giving ppl on the funny dragon site death threats and god forbid: doxxing them

Also... Posting harassment posts on the Flight rising tag. Real great look.

You didn't even manage the apology part right.
