I just can't say how disgusted I am to hear this. It's like, every effort, every talk you have with a person to make them understand that maybe, just maybe, they need to empathize a little bit more with other people's opinions, has automatically drowned in the ocean with no hope of returning. I can't even sense a person in you there, Shroom, you're just acting like a robot, deadset on what you need to do, becasue you think everything you think is right, everything you do is right, without EVER considering other people's opinions on it.

It just has not been comfortable having you around, observing, having you policy ever decision, every action both Staff and normal users makes. That's why I stepped down, because I realized it was just not worth it to talk with you with the hope that maybe you'd listen to me. And even after all of the things you have been through, all of the warnings, all of the bans, all of the times where people call you out, you still act like this. And heck, it's still so clear to know that you still think the same about us, even when it's not on Runouw. I've never seen a person with this much hate.

Dude. You've broken Staff apart. You've broken the chat mornings on the Discord server apart, because you can't help yourself to not bring something to complain about. You've been ruining everything I used to enjoy and still am enjoying about this site. I can pretty much understand how does the other people who quit feel now.

And if you're not going to change, I don't want to have you around like this anymore.

Usually after a ban people are actually supposed to change or they should ♥♥♥♥ off forever. Instead, not only have you not changed, you are actively scaring me with how egotistical you are. No one has actually stayed the same when let back to this site, but I did not fathom that anyone, ANYONE, could get worse. Your opinion of yourself has exploded beyond the bandwidth of the site and I am very, very done with it. You provide good things to LDing (the part I actually am involved with) but at the expense of a lot of negativity. You provide all of the drama over judging at a point where people are being very nice to you because they were also nice to others and call for impartiality when everyone, YOURSELF INCLUDED, is very partial. You attack people who had your back because they weren't nice enough when they are bending over backwards for you. I'm not one of them. I don't care if I have to get a new judge or if I have to stand up to actual mods to be heard. If I were an actual mod, you would be permanently banned. The drama you are causing everywhere is making everyone sick.

Posting commentary on behalf of Bryce/Bamsmarck/Bam_0700, retired forumer:

[4:35 PM] Bryce: OHOHOHOHO HOLY ♥♥♥♥ SHROOM
[4:35 PM] Bryce: he has changed
[4:35 PM] Bryce: but it's ♥♥♥♥ bad
[4:35 PM] Bryce: maybe not changed
[4:35 PM] Bryce: he probably thought like this and just didn't say it
[4:36 PM] Bryce: "this subject really triggers me"
[4:36 PM] Bryce: jesus guys why doesn't runouw have a trigger warning
[4:36 PM] Bryce: shroom could've been so shocked that he could be hospitalized
[4:37 PM] Bryce: can we change the FoA into the Fortress of Safe Space
[4:38 PM] Bryce: this is embarrassing
[4:38 PM] Bryce: his self awareness has hit absolute zero
[4:39 PM] Bryce: HOW DOES HE NOT REALIZE THINGS HE SAYS APPLY TO HIMSELF
[4:40 PM] Bryce: you guys should probably point out that you stepped down, not got demoted
[4:41 PM] Bryce: "Too exhausted"
[4:41 PM] Bryce: ahahahahaahahahahahahahhaah
[4:41 PM] Bryce: holy ♥♥♥♥ he's pathetic, when you ask for a real argument he can't do it
[4:41 PM] Bryce: he has nothing to stand on and he knows it
[4:41 PM] Bryce: and he tries anyways
[4:42 PM] Bryce: you could win an argument against shroom by saying little more than "Can you prove it?"
[4:43 PM] Bryce: oh man, I needed a good laugh
[4:43 PM] Bryce: today's been a pretty good day
[4:45 PM] Bryce: you probably don't even need context from me, shroom digs his own grave much better than I can
[4:45 PM] Bryce: I can still give one though
[4:46 PM] Bryce: hell, I could just find that thing I told tommy months ago
[4:54 PM] Bryce: this was the old quote

[10:44 PM] Bryce: If Ven still doubts if Shroom was the reason for us leaving: Obviously all of us had a variety of reasons for leaving, and I can't speak for all of us that left, but I can speak for myself. There was that whole thing with me never really feeling the need to be on the site and all that junk, but the last straw really was how pointlessly ♥♥♥♥ forum drama was. Of course there was drama caused by people other than Shroom, but I'd be lying through my teeth to say that Shroom wasn't the largest cause for most of that ♥♥♥♥. At first I just disagreed with Shroom's points and how he argued them, but after a year of the same ♥♥♥♥, it became evident that Shroom was always going to spout the same garbage. I would've just ignored him, because like I said, I don't think my stake in the forums was ever that big, but he always pushed his ideals so hard on people that it was unavoidable. It was ♥♥♥♥ intoxicating. Not to mention how ♥♥♥♥ it was for him to attack people I consider friends for who they are instead of addressing the points they make. Shroom wasn't the main cause of me leaving, but god damn if he didn't push me over the edge. I'm comfortable with letting you share this with other people if you want because this is me explaining why I left, not me trying to push my opinion of what should happen on a site I have no right to anymore.
[10:57 PM] Bryce: and I consider myselves a pretty thick skinned person, and I don't think it was necessarily that I ever felt insulted by him but it was more of a "can you ♥♥♥♥ not attack people, push your own skewed ideals, and generally be a bit of a dickhead in a place that most of us just come to to talk to friends and relax"

[4:55 PM] Bryce: it's sad that shroom was such an obnoxious person, because mushrooms taste pretty :ok_hand: :ok_hand: :ok_hand:

I thought that he'd figure out that the FoA is by definition a place where nothing is taken seriously - what's more, a place where no significant deviances to common sense in forum content happen.
It's both helpful and ironic to think of it as a round-the-clock April Fools.
Arguments aside, I'm pretty sure nearly everyone who's been here, active and retired alike, has done way better or at the very least as good as a job than I could ever hope to do on their respective roles, especially so the higher-ups.
I say if he actually thinks he has that much hindered potential, then his sticking around isn't of much use after all, both for him and for us. Thus, you may bring out the big hammer.

Here's my two cents. The rest of the crew did a phenomenal job handling the rest.

[MessengerOfDreams]

Hopefully this topic rattles around in your brain. You've insulted a lot of people, people who are generally mild mannered, and even with all I can say I know enough about insults to know that these can't be undone easily. You have hurt them in a way that cannot be undone. The crazy thing is I do not think that will register with you but I pray to God it does, in a way different than you acting above others. They are not beneath the person hurting them just because they are hurt. You have changed the site in a way I don't think you realize as any way but bad

Me: Ok I guess if you guys really wanna give Shroom a second chance this much I guess he has potential to change
