He's into hour 52 now. If he's going for the record he's got a long ways to go. If had at least 2 froot loops do this shit all day everyday for 4+ YEARS.

@th3j35t3r I feel really bad for them. Clearly they're mentally ill af. They need help and they're never gonna get it.

@Tail @th3j35t3r a bunch of cosmonauts actually tried to help the one for a bit... it didn’t work. J just had to keep bouncing her every time a new account popped up.. Royal pita for him

@Museek @Tail @th3j35t3r

In my experience, people like this have literally nothing else going on in their lives.

Picking fights online is their way of proving to themselves that they actually exist.

@mcfate @Museek If they were just trolling and being a turd I would agree, but their thought process, paranoia and all that, there's more than just a shitty personality under there. Yeah they probably don't have much going for them, but they still have their reasons for behaving the way they do, and the persistence is telling of some major underlying mental issues issues.

@Tail @Museek

Me, I think people should have to take a LICENSING EXAM before they're allowed to use the Internet.

He might be slightly saner if he couldn't wind himself up this way online.

Plenty of people have mental health issues without making egregious nuisances of themselves.

@mcfate @Museek Being a nuisance is one thing, being a threat to themselves is another.

Yeah, they're winding themselves up, and Twitter provides the perfect platform to wind themselves up even further, but if someone gets wound up enough, bad things happen.

They need medication.

@Tail @Museek

I can't write people prescriptions, and I can't force them to take the medication other people prescribe them. I can't keep them off Twaddle.

I can keep off Twaddle, though.

@mcfate Yup, you can't help someone who can't help themselves. There are so many people running around completely undiagnosed who will never be seen by any professional, there simply aren't enough to go around.

I manage to not see much of the craziness that goes on on Twitter, but I just feel so, so bad for some of the people on there. It's hard to be empathetic towards someone so abrasive, but they're usually the ones who need empathy the most.

@Tail

I have serious doubts regarding the reality of "online empathy", myself.

@mcfate Empathy is empathy regardless of if it's online or not. You can still be empathetic towards shitty people and really despise their behavior at the same time. Like, I don't want bad things to happen to that person just because they're an asshat.

To do otherwise really just fuels their flames and makes shitty people shittier, it basically substantiates their confirmation bias.

I hope they find peace some day, is my bottom line, I guess.

@Tail

I don't want bad things to happen to him, but if he persists in this vein, bad things will happen to him regardless of my views on the matter.

My "feeling badly for him" won't alter that, although I can imagine how it might elevate one's own opinion of oneself.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯
