You've been on voat for a while, what's your take on this latest "drama"?
Well, first off, kinda pissed off my name isn't getting thrown around more. I made two of the biggest posts leading to this shit. I didn't do it for attention, but that doesn't mean I don't want attention.
My own vanity aside, it really doesn't make any sense to me, especially the virge shit.
I don't particularly care for kevdude, I think he is kind of an asshole, and possibly a moron, but I get how he could be a "builder". The guy has an iron will, and I honestly think he means well. I don't think he does the right thing very often, but I think he always has generally good intentions.
This virge dude though...
When I made my initial posts, I didn't even talk shit on him, I just said I didn't really recognize him, and that people like middlepath, needlestack, and empress should've been names builders before him.
Those people actually built Voat, they deserve it more than anyone.
I guess virge took that personal, because he has threatened to kill me multiple times since.
It just stinks of bad group dynamics, separating builders from destroyers on a arbitrary basis.
Like saying "I'm in charge, and these are my pals, they get to do what they want".
I used to be on really good terms with putt. We would fuck around a lot and have fun.
But I like talking shit. And if I think shit needs talking, I'll do it. So I wrote about my concerns in a very public post. Maybe I was too straightforward. But probably not. I think all my concerns were legit.
And putt responded by dismissing my points and calling it all click-bait.
But you know what? I'm happy I said what I said.
I like this place, and wouldn't have come here had it not been for that.
And I like speaking truth to power. I'm no builder, I'm a shit-talker. And I think Voat needs a good shit-talking every once in awhile.
I probably won't get banned from that place, so I'mma keep talking over there.
But honestly, I really like writing and poetry, and so far, Poal seems like a much better place for those hobbies, so I'm gonna stick around here.
It's cozy.
Holy shit, well put. You articulated what I've been only half noticing for awhile there perfectly.
I am nigger.
Man, EVERYBODY knows who you are. Figure you're above ataboys by now. But I know what you mean.
I read your post and thought "Good deal, TK's on board" And from what puttitout said in his sticky he just posted, looks like he listened.
Everyone like being right once in a while.
