Forever Racing Tomorrow

thewebcomicsreview:

So one day, I was having a relaxing 9/11, chillin’ out, maxin’, relaxin’ all cool, contemplating signing up for local art school, when a couple of dudes who had rumors to seed, started making trouble in my twitter feed:

(Yes, this conversation is how I found out Burlew used a pull quote from me)

“Your jubilation will have to wait”

I’m not including this guy’s name because I don’t walk folk tracking him down, but also to keep a promise.

Here’s the thread, and here’s the post in question:

(I don’t know what this has to do with anything)

“It’s not harassment if he didn’t update his comic fast enough, he had it coming!”

Basically this dude keeps trying to make the argument that object permanence is ablest. This argument gets circular. But then! A twist! 

“A condemnation from the National Autistic Society of the UK? At this time of year, at this time of day, in this different country, localized entirely within your email inbox?!”
“Yes”
“….May I see it?”
“No”

Anyway, yadda yadda yadda, Rich Burlew is ablest because he doesn’t like people harassing him on his forums and he’s super problematic and cancelled and I’m cancelled too by proxy. 

Just to say that I received an email from the same person. Except they didn’t go directly to my work email, oh no.

They contacted a podcast friends of mine run, and attempted to get a personal email address. I got in touch (via the work email) to see what they wanted.

And after they attempted to get more of my personal information and after being quite cagey about the whole thing, they proceeded to attempt to defame Burlew.

To be clear; this is one person who, seemingly after two years, still has an issue with the Order of The Stick guy banning him from the forum they run. For being very rude.
