The hate towards Jessica is growing in the Slayers disbands thread... should provide its toll.

This was posted in the troll thread about Stephano being a rapist. Now, SoR was probably on a short leash, but even in the context, the post is technically correct. It is not rape if she agrees, that's just consensual sex, right? Maybe it's just a touchy subject because the completely baseless accusation is that said fictional girl is legally too young. I browsed around a little more, but was unable to put two and two together on why SoR fell in this manner. Such a waste! You'd thing he'd have slipped up in his own blogs. Well, you see, there is this thing called statutory rape (sexual acts with a minor). So, yes, it is rape, even if she agreed to it. So, even in context, the post is technically incorrect. And I'm not sure if someone spreading misinformation along the lines of: is allowed on this site, in the off chance that someone might take this statement seriously. I suppose there are a couple of TL Commandments that he may have violated too (3rd and 5th? Maybe the last line of the 1st commandment, as well). I think posting doodoo-quality one-liners would fall under these commandments. Also, as you said, he was likely on a short leash. Perhaps someone was just looking for an opportunity.
I don't think that's the reason. I mean if people were to be banned for spreading misinformation (which would be a great thing IMHO) then why shouldn't we also ban that guy who wrongfully claimed Destiny got kicked out of ROOT for child porn? (lol) or that guy who ruined Empire.TheMista's career pretty much? Still, I agree that SoR needs a timeout.

Ahh feels great. I swear I had a lot of empathy for this kid at first because I saw a bit of what I used to be like in him, but then after that every one of his blogs was either:
a. whining, asking for help and then not doing anything remotely close to what people suggested
or
b. trying really hard to be philosophical / trying really hard to be funny

Im pretty sure almost every relatively smart person goes through that philosophical phase.

There's a difference between "going through a philosophical phase" and posting stuff on the internet that are deliberately tailored to make you seem more interesting or intelligent than you actually are. And of course people do that kind of thing mostly because people on the internet are strangers, how can you legitimately call bullshit on someone without actually knowing them? So you may argue that I'm out of line, but this is my conclusion that I've come to regarding him, based on my own observation of his posts. If I'm wrong with this I don't really mind, because it would mean one more person in this world who isn't a complete tool.

You're describing adolescence, a phase all of us have gone through or are either currently undergoing. Of course, some adolescents are more adolescent than others.

I enjoy the ABL and all, but clowning on some fifteen year old kid after the fact is as juvenile as it gets.

Oh, my bad, I thought you guys were talking about SoR for some reason. I didn't know Azera too well. I hope he does well in what he's doing and returns someday.

He's 15, but that doesn't mean everybody must like him. I didn't. He definitely acts like a 15-yo kid though. I still have a PM he sent me, full of these pompous statements that I don't think he actually understands.

The word is pretentious, not philosophical.

Only a couple so far, was expecting some "this is the end of the world" threads honestly. Disappointed.
