I was just browsing through the forum and noticed this topic again.
I see that I'm the last person who posted in it, back in 2011....but I actually want to embellish more on what I said now.....because there's actually a really sad reason behind my above post.
It doesn't have anything to do with Randall haters specifically because there are a number of years where I haven't really been that involved in the fandom so I just haven't experienced the haters much when it comes to him(although I'm guessing I might experience them soon when MU comes out because it might start a lot of things up again).
There is always a part of me that is always tempted to just ignore haters in general though now after what happened to me on some other forum that has nothing to do with MI.
I wasn't okay with getting into the story back when I first joined this place...but I will now.
A number of years ago in late 2010 I was banned on a forum permanently. It was not a forum related to MI or Pixar in any way but it was the forum of another fandom.
Even the staff of the forum who banned me permanently said that they weren't doing it because I was a touble-maker in the same sense of the word that people tend to think of when people get banned from places. I never flamed people or anything like that. It's not the kind of person I am.
The thing with me was that when people started hating on a character I liked or whatever, I would stand up for the character. Although that wasn't all, there were other aspects of the forum that I just didn't think were run fairly and properly and eventually people just started attacking me directly. I was flamed on a regular basis by a number of people on that forum.
I thought that the staff would do something about it because what those people were doing was against the rules. They weren't suppose to be flaming me and coming directly into my profile just to flame me, etc.
The reason why these people got a kick out of it is because I didn't ignore them. I didn't put up with it. I reported them all to the authorities for the fact that they kept breaking the rules.
At the end of it all though the mods just decided that they'd rather permanently ban me than ban about 30 other people instead, even though they were the ones doing the flaming. They felt that if they got rid of me it would solve a lot of problems.
They had kept telling me to just ignore the haters but I wouldn't and that in the end is what got me banned. FOREVER.
As a result of all of that, I never followed that fandom again since. I completely stopped following the story, watching the series, everything. It just put me off so bad. The only thing I still like about it is my favourite character from it....but he had already been killed off in the series and well.....I guess in a sense I was killed off as well, killed off from the fandom when they banished me forever.
