@matty @Terry @catmanmancat I will try to be as direct as I can. This is going to be the last message you get from me, so you can read it or not.

> You're not a "goddamn lunatic"

Well, I called *your* bluff, feel free to call mine.

> I'm sorry, you only met with the FBI.

I exchanged some email with them, that's all; I was unable to answer any of their questions. I didn't even get a phone call, a few other guys got a phone call. I did that whole huge write-up. 7k words.

If I were the type to snitch, I would have emailed DigitalOcean or I would have emailed the abuse department at identity.digital. Instead, I warned you about both.

> As for the rest of your drivel I'd really like to just move past this.

Great. I will go on ignoring you except when you pop in and then I will say whatever I feel like saying.

> I really would have liked to be on good terms but you kept running your mouth.

The sooner you recognize that we're not going to be friends and that I will "run my mouth" however I want, the better.

> It literally never had to be like this but you started it by performing a denial of service attack on my instance

I did not; my introduction to you was you periodically popping into threads about computers with "faggot", followed by eight or so other gablins doing that. You then built a spam cannon, I told you it was a bad idea, I blocked a bunch of people, you blocked my account, and suddenly if I talked about a book or a computer or something, I stopped getting the "single gamer word repeated eight times" reply chains. Delightful.

> instead of just admitting you were being a dick.

No, I am a complete asshole: I've said this plenty. Having a reason to do anything that I do doesn't preclude the possibility that I'm an asshole.

> there is nothing intimidating about you.

Then you're wasting your time.

> you sit inside your apartment

I don't live in an apartment and I don't think you know what I do or have done with my time. You know a fraction of what I post about and your reading comprehension is low enough that I could be on the goddamn moon for all you know.

> If you and I were to ever meet I really hope it would be over a beer

We're not going to be friends.

> you'd find out that the final boss of the internet shtick ends at layer 7.

I'm already aware; you're doing this "internet tough guy" routine, it's gablin shit, you say "We can always escalate" and I say feel free, and your options are to either "escalate" or drop the posturing. Which do you plan to do?

> Hell I might even reconsider federation with FSE if you agree to quit running your mouth

Holy fucking shit, are you fucking dense? I tell you a thousand times that I am glad the block is in place. You goddamned idiot! Is there a way to get through to you? All of the communist uwu-furry instances blocked FSE and a lot of people complain about that sort of thing but I have noticed it improves the goddamn timeline. You keep talking like it's some sort of incentive: "We could be friends", "We could have a beer", "I could stop instance-blocking you", and I have been incredibly direct about my complaint: I do not wish to have dealings with you, any dealings. You keep pushing your way in and it annoys the shit out of me and I complain. Same thing with all those other dipshits that I have managed to convince to quit bothering me: every second I spend dealing with you is a second I have not spent on someone that I actually do want to deal with.

> I don't think your ego could handle it.

It's a time-management concern. Go ask Doll: I just remove accounts at random and mute the thread if too many of you people show up. Quit looking for a hidden agenda: I don't have the patience to construct a fake one. It's frustrating, but it affords me a certain degree of freedom that no one believes me: not the commies, not the wignats. So I tell you "I do not wish to deal with you" and you dump this long-ass post about how I have somehow squandered an opportunity to deal with you.

> I haven't done it on my instance because it's also against my own rules.

If you won't do it, then quit beating around the bush. The main thing I care about is that it doesn't require my attention.

> Plus, if I were to do that and you got hurt, I'd legitimately feel bad.

Your compassion is touching.

Carry out the threat or don't bother implying it.
