Welcome to Gaia! ::

I've had a long-term grudge against Akarai, since I created a thread long ago that simply suggested "how about before you flame others for their taste in games, you consider your own tastes?", and he came in and started flaming me, and would NOT go away, despite the fact that my thread -only- suggested a peaceful solution to stop flaming. Then, out of frustration I got pissed at him and he called me a hypocrite for flaming him. If I had been smart I would've reported his a** to the mods, but I missed that opportunity.

THEN he created that thread of his, which whole purpose is a complete falsehood. Sure, people have stopped creating kingdom hearts threads, but he could care less about other spam. I'd always request that he should remove the insulting title from his thread, but he has told me that the whole point of it being insulting is to draw people in. Another thing is that the people who inhabit that thread are always pissed about gaians coming in there and flaming them, but essentially it would NOT happen if their thread title/first paragraph was not so insulting in the first place. Kingdom hearts fans are not going to simply ignore the title and the first paragraph, then read the whole EPIC KHFAQ at the bottom. The whole thing is a mess.

I've gone in there, arguing that his whole "Kingdom Hearts is s**t in digital media" comment is completely unecessary to prove his point, and it's just drawing in flamers. We ended up getting into an argument where he claimed that love and hate are the SAME. He said someone who loves kingdom hearts is equally as annoying and mean as someone who says that they hate the game and think it's s**t in digital media.

Akarai has stepped on a lot of toes, and I can only hope he ends up getting banned. He's done a lot of damage to the VG thread, that should've been fixed by mods only in the first place. Akarai has made a LOT of people mad. I have yet to encounter anyone on gaia who acts like this. I'm not a kingdom hearts fanboy, I like the game, but I'm mostly just fed up with him being a jerk to everyone.

Ironically I think Akarai's thread has contributed to the current "chatterbox II" state of the VG section.



I completely agree with this.

*GASP* end rant! Sorry to go off like that...

I've more than seen it, he's done it to me. Apparently in his own words, I'm a 'cheap whore' since I believe in the idea of premarital sex.

It all falls back on his 'agree with me or I ******** hate you' mentility. If you read in his Anti-KH thread you'll also hear of a few accounts from posters where he drops that self-absorbed god routine and stoops to flaming in PM and IM sessions. His justification in all this is 'you came in here and started an arguement. Since you have the Ymessenger or AIM link in your profile I have every right to message you. It's like walking up to me in a bar, punching me and leaving your address and housekeys on the table as you walk away and not expect me to try to get back at you.'

I wouldn't even give him the benefit of calling him intelligent. Manipulative, maybe. But not intelligent.

For your (dis)pleasure, an IM conversation that he started during our comma incident.


Since then though, that's all you've talked about. And regardless of the length there was still no logical reason to just bring up commas in the thread.
XxEvilBlackCatxX (02:04:24): I pointed it out. I'm allowed to point things out, aren't I? You're the one that blew it up to such proprtions.
ArucardisaBadass (02:04:36): Oh I did?
ArucardisaBadass (02:04:42): I just replied to your posts. 0.o
XxEvilBlackCatxX (02:04:55): And I just replied to yours.
ArucardisaBadass (02:05:04): You're allowed to point things out certainly, but that was just a blatent attack.
XxEvilBlackCatxX (02:05:15): Attack?
XxEvilBlackCatxX (02:05:19): How was that an attack?
ArucardisaBadass (02:05:19): There was no reason to point it out.
ArucardisaBadass (02:05:30): Oh come on. What reason did you have for pointing it out?
XxEvilBlackCatxX (02:05:37): There's no reason for most of the things people do in life.
XxEvilBlackCatxX (02:05:41): WE do them because we want to.
XxEvilBlackCatxX (02:05:45): *We
ArucardisaBadass (02:05:54): And what were the only other things you said in there? "TROLL TROLL TROLL! FLAME FLAME FLAME!!"
ArucardisaBadass (02:06:16): Which... was hypocritical seeing as you just jumped in there to comment on the commas.
XxEvilBlackCatxX (02:06:21): Because you said you were a grammar nazi in another thread, and I've noticed many times that you don't put commas in the right places.
XxEvilBlackCatxX (02:06:26): No, I didn't actually.
ArucardisaBadass (02:06:37): Keywords: Another Thread
XxEvilBlackCatxX (02:06:51): I wanted to cmment on what you were saying about religion in jobs. The commas were something I tossed in at the end
ArucardisaBadass (02:06:59): Yes, you did. It was in your first post, and since then it's been the only thing you've spoken about in the thread.
XxEvilBlackCatxX (02:06:59): I had no intent for it to blow up like that.
XxEvilBlackCatxX (02:07:15): That's right. I said nothing but comma, comma, comma.
ArucardisaBadass (02:08:09): You mentioned the satanist thing in your first post. You mentioned it once more, and then never again. Besides that it was all "comma comma comma" with little sprinklings of "You're just a troll! All you know how to do is flame people!"
ArucardisaBadass (02:08:22): Which, was also refuted, so again you never commented on it again.
ArucardisaBadass (02:08:53): You came in there purely to attack me because I pointed out how hypocritical the pokemon thread was. >.>
XxEvilBlackCatxX (02:09:17): No, I didn't, but if it helps your ego to think I care that much about you, then go ahead and think that.
XxEvilBlackCatxX (02:09:4 cool : Now, if all you IMed me for was to keep spouting the same crap as you did in your thread, than please stop it.
XxEvilBlackCatxX (02:10:06): I just wanted to quick jump online and update my jouornal before going to sleep.
ArucardisaBadass (02:10:07): Right, my ego. It would make me feel soooooo good about myself to know that some random person who's name I don't even know came into a thread I wrote in a forum I frequent to attack me.
XxEvilBlackCatxX (02:10:40): Why would I bother to sit and wait until you said something I could refute? Do you relaly think people have that little of a life?
ArucardisaBadass (02:10:41): Oooooh, now I'm spewing crap.
XxEvilBlackCatxX (02:10:5 cool : ::rolls eyes:: At least I don't resort to cursing and name-calling.
ArucardisaBadass (02:11:10): Um... yeah you do.
ArucardisaBadass (02:11:19): Troll would be considered an insult, no?
XxEvilBlackCatxX (02:11:47): It's not even on the level of 'immature little b***h', and don't even try to put it there.
ArucardisaBadass (02:12:14): See, you are immature though. And your behavior has been decidedly 'bitchy'.
ArucardisaBadass (02:12:37): I mean you've already admitted you had no reason to attack the commas in that thread.
ArucardisaBadass (02:12:46): You and I both know you just came in there to pick a fight.
ArucardisaBadass (02:12:57): Not because I'm anything special, but because I annoyed you.
XxEvilBlackCatxX (02:13:11): How on Earth am I being immature?
ArucardisaBadass (02:13:22): ...Didn't we just cover this?
ArucardisaBadass (02:13:2 cool : You came into my thread to attack my commas.
XxEvilBlackCatxX (02:13:41): ...Didn't I just say this?
ArucardisaBadass (02:13:43): You stated ALL my posts were flames and trolling.
XxEvilBlackCatxX (02:13:51): That was not my intent when I came into the thread
ArucardisaBadass (02:13:5 cool : And on top of that, you called anyone who thought I argued well stupid.
XxEvilBlackCatxX (02:14:13): I didn't go in and say, "Allright! I'm going to make a 10-page argument about COMMAS! Yay!"
ArucardisaBadass (02:14:29): Well of course not. That's still what you ended up doing though.
XxEvilBlackCatxX (02:14:34): No, see, you just have far too much fun twisting people's words to make them fit your points.
ArucardisaBadass (02:18:44): Got booted.
XxEvilBlackCatxX (02:18:49): Ah.
ArucardisaBadass (02:18:53): Now as I was about to say. You know the funny thing?
XxEvilBlackCatxX (02:19:02): Oh, I can just imagine...
ArucardisaBadass (02:19:55): I wasn't going to mention the satanist thing. I was thinking it from the start. However I thought "as soon as I say that someone's going to march in and go 'closed-minded biggot!'" even though I don't care one way or another about satanism.
ArucardisaBadass (02:21:03): Then I got an IM from Ember. He was asking if I thought the guy really worked for EA. I said no because of his behavior in the thread. He asked if I was sure the letters in his sig stood for Church Of Satanist, and I told him the guy said he was a satanist in the thread earlier.
ArucardisaBadass (02:21:1 cool : Ember replied "I don't think EA would hire a satanist..."
ArucardisaBadass (02:21:54): I said "Yeah, I was thinking just that, but I didn't want to say it because I thought someone would leap down my throat about it."
ArucardisaBadass (02:22:2 cool : So. the next time I was on I thought "hmm, why not?" and I added it in. =\
ArucardisaBadass (02:22:31): And sure enough....
XxEvilBlackCatxX (02:22:4 cool : I never called you a bigot, if that's what you're implying.
XxEvilBlackCatxX (02:22:55): There are plaenty of ways to hide your religion
ArucardisaBadass (02:23:04): No, but you did leap down my throat about the satanist thing.
XxEvilBlackCatxX (02:23:10): And why would EA be so adament against hiring a satanist, anyhow?
XxEvilBlackCatxX (02:23:23): Last I checked, they weren't a Christian community
ArucardisaBadass (02:23:57): Yeah, but they won't hire people who come in with piercings, or in gothic clothing. So a pentagram would be just as likely to put their resume in the trash can.
XxEvilBlackCatxX (02:24:25): ... so then you don't wear the pentacle to the interview.
XxEvilBlackCatxX (02:24:50): Most people who are in a persecuted or misunderstood religion know better than to wear it where they will be judged on it.
ArucardisaBadass (02:25:01): Just because in most jobs -unless it's specifically a community that welcomes people of those lifestyles- assholes make those decisions.
XxEvilBlackCatxX (02:25:21): I know. You're preaching to the choir on that.
ArucardisaBadass (02:26:13): Well, the guy has it in his signature that he's a reverand for the organization. His very first statement in my thread was "Are you a satanist?" Which initially I thought was a misguided insult. So when I replied "If that's an insult, I understand their religion's whole mantra is peace" he said he was a satanist.
ArucardisaBadass (02:26:27): So he doesn't seem like the type that would keep it secret.
XxEvilBlackCatxX (02:26:41): A message board is very different from a job interview.
XxEvilBlackCatxX (02:27:05): Companies want a more professional image, and if you want the job, you're forced to play to that.
ArucardisaBadass (02:27:11): True. I doubt he would tell someone the whole video game industry was shitting on them in real life either.
ArucardisaBadass (02:29:00): It was just another comment I threw out because held a little validity. Mainly I just kept mentioning it because -to me- it sounded like the guy would have an extremely busy schedule.
XxEvilBlackCatxX (02:29:29): Some people in life do have busy schedules. It's the way the world works.
ArucardisaBadass (02:29:34): What with being a freelance programmer, and a tattoo/piercing artist, attending college, workign for EA, and being a reverand for the church of satan.
ArucardisaBadass (02:29:45): *working
XxEvilBlackCatxX (02:30:26): He might not be doing all those things at once, you know? The tattooing thing could be a summer job.
XxEvilBlackCatxX (02:31:05): I'm not saying I believe him either, I'm just saying that there could be a chance.
ArucardisaBadass (02:31:36): He just wasn't conveying a professional attitude from the moment he came in. I mean, sure I can see someone in college talking like that. But I can't see someone with that attitude working at a big company like that for very long. I mean the dude went off about my thread. 0.o There was like, one hatefule paragraph in my first post, and it was supposed to be somewhat funny.
ArucardisaBadass (02:32:03): *hateful
XxEvilBlackCatxX (02:32:13): So, do you act the same way around every person you know?
ArucardisaBadass (02:32:26): Yeah pretty much. 0.o
ArucardisaBadass (02:32:44): Well, I mean with slight variations based on how much I like or dislike them.
XxEvilBlackCatxX (02:33:02): You act the same screwing around with your friends as you do with a College interviewer or someone?
XxEvilBlackCatxX (02:33:11): (Gah.. I cannot type tonight.. -_- ))
XxEvilBlackCatxX (02:33:36): That's a little... odd, then... Have you ever taken a Sociology class?
ArucardisaBadass (02:34:32): Well, with interviewers it's all about impressing them. So I try not to come off as phoney. I mean if you act too professional it can easily backfire, and them think you're full of s**t.
ArucardisaBadass (02:34:41): No, I haven't.
XxEvilBlackCatxX (02:35:23): Then nevermind what I was going to say next. ^_^()
XxEvilBlackCatxX (02:35:32): I do agree that you can't be phony.
XxEvilBlackCatxX (02:36:16): But you have to have a certain level of respect, and certain... 'walls' I guess would be the word, that you can let loose with people you know better, or people that you're not trying to impress?
ArucardisaBadass (02:37:31): Well yeah that's true. I've said something similar to that about myself before, only with the word shields instead of walls, but yeah.
ArucardisaBadass (02:38:00): Usually after getting into an argument with a good friend.
XxEvilBlackCatxX (02:38:05): That would be as good a word... I'm not running on much sleep right now, so you'll have to excuse me
ArucardisaBadass (02:38:3 cool : S'alright.
XxEvilBlackCatxX (02:42:56): Allright, well I'm really not sure what the point of this was, but my mother forced me awake early today, so I'm not quite up to staying up 'till my usual time of 5 am.
ArucardisaBadass (02:44:1 cool : Alrighty, then I'll talk to you later.
XxEvilBlackCatxX (02:44:45): If you have something to say other than what's already been said, I'd be glad to.
XxEvilBlackCatxX (02:45:03): But now... sleep... *thwunk* *mmm... pillow....*
ArucardisaBadass (02:45:33): Uh, well I was tempted by your icon to show you a picture of Depp without make up. But there isn't really much point to that.
XxEvilBlackCatxX (02:45:46): I've seen pictures of him
XxEvilBlackCatxX (02:45:54): Wow, I forgot I actually still had that icon..
XxEvilBlackCatxX (02:46:15): Heh... I think it's time for an update.
XxEvilBlackCatxX (02:49:1 cool : ...and I go now.


Looking back on it, when he said I had no reason to post about commas, I should have said he had just as much reason to post about KH. KH annoys him, so he posted a whole long thread about it. Grammar misuse annoys me, and all I did was make a little comment at the end of a post about it.

Hm, so who was overreacting there....

...who's really defending akarai here anyways?

ummm.. I don't know if it's just me, but isn't his first post becoming blatantly insulting to KH fans?

...since when is it legal to have a flame thread in gaia? sweatdrop

While trying to find good arguments that people tried to have with AkaRai I came across several occasions where he openly declared his hate for the game, twisted and ignored parts of people's posts, denied that a hate thread is still a thread on the subject, and called people fangirls/boys for mentioning a character being cute even if they supported his thread.
He also doesnt seem to respect the mods, he said he would not leave it be that Beramode said there was never going to be a KH sticky. Can't he just accept no for an answer or does he want her to tell him that on every page so he has more of a reason to whine? neutral

It's been done by my someone in my other guild already and it's being discussed between mods right now.
