Let me get some things clear, with all of you. I am not a whiny person. I don't get upset over small things. The incident that happened has been changed so many times by one side's of the story, that I want to clear some things up.
I haven't been playing the last few weeks, so I came back yesterday to talk of herbs. I went to the herb gardens to see if there were any empty spots. There were none. I went to leave. I saw a person come in, and say "Gimmie all you got." Then, "HEY HOMBRE. YOU GONNNA GIMME SHIT?" I said nothing. He then proceeded to take the herbs that people were waiting by, as soon as they popped up. Jerk move, but I still said nothing. Then he said "I'mma rape you all"
At that point, I messaged him. We are both greeters, and I didn't feel that was they type of behavior we were supposed to represent. I * politely * told him it wasn't cool for him to say that kind of thing, and that it was sort of rude to take flowers from new players that were trying to do things. He responded with "And who are you?" And started telling me that he would say whatever he liked, and I was so "low". who was I to tell him that wasn't polite? He then announced in chat "GIVE NUTMEG EVERYTHING YOU HAVE OR SHE'LL HATE YOU."
Please note, at this point, I have not planted, nor harvested a single thing. It wasn't about the plants. I wish I had saved the log of all the rude things he IM'ed to me, but I didn't, only the local chat. I blocked him, because he continued harassing me via IM. SEVERAL other players in the same street had a problem with the things he said (and things he did, which I know isn't agains the ToS) - if they all chose to report him, I have no clue. He is blaming me because I had the "nerve" to stand up to him (me being a low life and all.)
He says:
*Him* in reply to *other person* "Of course I always pushed the limits, it's my way of playing and adding to the game for everyone else. Someone needs to do it, and I do it in a way where I respect everyone, while acting out a crazy character everyone loves and hates. I've never changed here. My mistake was using a one line phrase of the English language that I should not have said. One mistake that lasted 1 moment of time on one map. They could have just asked me not to say that and I would have agreed respectfully and I'd understand, but because they were mad at my herb harvesting, they would take any excuse to get me out of the game, so reported me. It's as simple as that."57 mins ago
It is NOT as simple as that. I. Do. Not. Care. About Herbs. If he wants to be known as a jerk, that's his problem. It's when he says inappropriate things that is the issue. He has not shown any remorse. He likened my issue to someone being afraid of the color yellow in another post. After originally claiming he had been hacked. I asked him not to say it, and he belittled it, and continued harassing me via IM.
He made his own bed. To those of you who say I am being "too sensitive" about the situation, remove me from your friends list. If you know me, you know that I LOVE joking around, and am far from conservative. However, I don't put up with slurs or making light of situations that are not to be made light of.
