      I disagree that you can call a person “paranoid” for being defensive online. You should not throw those terms around Willy nilly.

        How about making up conspiracies of other users editing their comments to confuse and attack you but being hackers in the code who can hide their edits? Saying stuff like “I know it’s you you did this before” to people accusing them of nonsense? That qualify?

          No, that’s just being very defensive. We shouldn’t treat mental diagnosis as insults and we should not insinuate that because someone is weird online that there’s something psychiatrically wrong with them

            It’s not defensive to flatly deny evident reality in front of their face. They know how edits look, they are a mod and long time site user. Why are they going around accusing people of editing who don’t have edit symbols? Do they think the site is lying to them and in on the conspiracy?

            How am I the one “jacketing” and not them? They are the ones accusing people of absurd things and dramabaiting

              I am not saying that they are not jacketing, I have not spoken about the quality of their behaviour at all. I agree with you that they’re being shitty, I just don’t think it’s cool to do what you did in response.
              I don’t know why they’re being weird about edits that did not happen. I just know that that doesn’t warrant implying they’re mentally ill

                When someone is plainly disconnected from evidence and reality and digging into a “it’s not me it’s literally everyone else gaslighting me and attacking me and persecuting me” mentality there’s really not much other explanation

                    I’ll be real, I just don’t like Pluto and took the opportunity of them being a fucking weirdo to dunk on them. It makes a lot of sense why he’s always complaining about the “Nazbols” taking over hexbear and taking over his org and taking over the internet, I will just say that much
