EPTSo yes I was a weird kid. Hell, I probably still am. I did ask a lot of questions and repeated them sometimes and usually questions that seemed out of place. I was just a big fan of Rotterdam plus I was happy when he engaged with me and I was genuinely interested. And this sounds boohoo and it not meant that way (cuz i am fine now) but back then I was pretty lonely and for me those moments felt validating. But of course I had douche moments as well, I did argue with other chatters a bit and made silly comments like I am an aerospace engineer so I know (the being AE is not a lie, it was the only thing I was proud of at that time). But I do think I was harmless and never went into insulting mode?
I indeed got once a time-out, I don't know why. I probably made a silly remark or stupid joke. But it was by someone else and then Rottie on the stream said: "don't time him out, he is not a bad guy." Which yes made me very happy.
Then we fast forward to the moment:
BikeRush was in the chat and there was some ridicule or whatever. Anyways I don't want to bring BikeRush into this (which is kinda 2 late now and I apologize for that), only thing I want to say is that I chatted with BikeRush afterwards and he also was like why am I shitted on?
Anyway I don't know what exactly was said anymore but apparently, I reacted to someone saying "some guy while referring to him".
And I liked CnC a lot and watched a lot of BikeRush and I felt a follower RTS-er deserved more respect. So I said something like: hey some more respect for him or don't disrespect him.
I got banned. I immediately hit the appeal button and said: huh why did I get banned? I didn't say anything weird?
Then at that moment Rotterdam reads the appeal on stream and says: "what the fuck, get out of here with saying that I am disrespectful. Unbann request denied".
And at that moment I was like "huh... I never meant you... wait there is a misunderstanding". But I could not appeal again. Hell, I visited multiple times in many years to appeal again. But apparently, you can only request it once. The last time I checked was November 2024 and I could still not request.
And yes it made me salty and yes it is stupid but for me those moments back then meant a lot to me.
