True. Dwixi is not even responding. It's fun for us, but a serious problem for him.

Dwixi, I think you should clarify this incident by PMing with Steve. Try to be politer, your style is really harsh sometimes. All this case is your current growth lesson. No one could tell you what is right and what is wrong here, but I recommend clarifying it for yourself, finding the answers which are right for you and will work for you.

I don't think there's much point to being Steve's friend on FB anyway.

You see, I am Steve's personal savior... so just be my friend on FB instead and through transference it's sort of like being friends with Steve...

But not.

This is true. Without Chris I'd be totally lost.

If it makes you feel any better, I removed Steve from my Facebook. He stabbed you so I stabbed him. Aha!

I keep wanting to write something witty in response to this, but I'm failing miserably. So instead I'll just write this totally useless, meaningless, empty, redundant, pointless, hollow, redundant comment. That way I can feel a greater sense of importance by increasing my post count to counteract my feelings of inadequacy that result from seeing how much bigger Steve's is than mine.

Heh heh. 22 is the number of the master builder.
That has to have been chosen purposely. I wouldn't believe otherwise. xD

As of now, he has 3,996 friends - which suggests he probably did have exactly 3,991 friends at the time he posted that.

Food for thought...

Explanation?
You sound like a kid who is telling on steve, to their mommy. I'm sorry if that offend you, but you do. Why would you post saying "Steve deleted me as a friend on facebook" - as if you are telling on him. This is steve's forum, and you know he will see the post, so if you are going to post publicly(as oppose to sending him a PM and simply privately asking him - although you obv know you did something "wrong") why would you talk as if you are talking about him and not direct it to him. Confused.

All I can say at this level.
Aren't we being a little harsh on the guy? He's already moved on.

Now dwixi is banned... Just noticed it and I wonder why. I actually would like to know the reason, and read his "last words" (for which he was banned as I guess).

He was funny...

Basically he started insinuating that Steve was up to no good. This seems to be a pattern with Dwixi.

Trolling and gross immaturity, basically the same things that forced me to unfriend him on Facebook. I followed up with him via email to let him know why.

You've got to hand it to him... he really lives in his subjective reality.

The only thing that bugged me about him was that he would create a thread asking a relatively intelligent question, get several well thought out responses, then start another thread, without really bothering to respond to the responses he got in his previous thread. But that's the typical self-centerdness of someone who is still a teenager I suppose.

Maybe there should be a "thread creation" limit. I'm going to start a thread to discuss it.

My curiosity won't be satisfied... (Seems like it was something really offensive, not just something immature which entertains me a lot when I read it)

Thanks to you and Daffy anyway.

For me most of his posts were funny and entertaining, they made me laugh often. He is like a kid (actually he IS a teenager) and it's amusing how he tells harsh things pretending to be very serious.

I remember his answer to me: "The universe tells you to buy SBI? Oh come on, people who sell it tell you that!" (something like that) I admit, he put me back to the ground with his insulting answer (written in capitals, to which I responded - please don't capitalize, it's impolite (LOL)).

I recognize some weird parallels. First of all, he reminded me Steve, who likes to insult people with more sophisticated, intelligent and mature manner (he calls it "I awaken people who are sleeping through life." )

(Just checked the dictionary for "to insult" - I'm not a native English speaker. It gave me quite unpleasant, "dirty" list of synonyms, so I'm not sure if the tone of this word is right in my context. Let it be "to attack" - that's the word I actually mean.)

Second, dwixi reminded me a "rock star" part of myself, who likes to pose and craves for attention, whatever it costs. And there were no emos in my late teens, that's must be why I was a goth for a short period of time back then.

So, those parallels may be the reason why I feel kind of weird sympathy to that guy, although his posts made me react "WTF!" several times.

Many of us liked Dwixi and felt similar. When I saw his offensive posts, I immediately had sympathy and thought, "Poor Dwixi," because I knew he would need to be banned. You just can't go around expressing that the admin of the forum is up to no good and expect to not be banned. To be blunt, that's just disrespectful.

There should be a way to look through all banned posters' posts aside from looking each one up one at a time, because usually they provide great entertainment.
