Regarding TheaterCritic (Subtitle - Teenage Clusterfuck) · 1:34am Sep 20th, 2013
TheaterCritic is/was a kid who was repeatedly banned, and had a swirling black cloud of hatred and anger that seemed to follow him wherever he went. A story would barely be posted before he'd pop in and be a critical mofo, and then everybody would gang up on him, then everyone's whole would be deep as hell when the whole argument/arguments finished.
Anyways, he made an apology, then got banned about five minutes later. He made another account and came right back, but I'm sure it's been banned as well. I decided to follow through and email him, but instead got some responses from his mother (which are a part of the blog) that basically said he was grounded indefinitely.
Well, about four days later, he's posting videos to his YouTube page. It's not even really that good.
I tried commenting, to which he gave a weak reply, then I commented again. He blocked me, stating that I was "just another jerk from Fimfiction", but I wasn't blocked somehow. I told him who it was, and he seemed to brighten up. It should be noted here that, after getting this link, I saw that his reply to me admitted that he was KellyKitty (the second account I mentioned).
Today he decided to post this video, and I don't really have a reaction. Like, I do, but I'd rather not share. He probably doesn't know that Knighty is the only one that can un-ban people, so it'll be interesting to see how this plays out if/when he gets the signatures.
EDIT: Here's the petition.
EDIT 2: He deleted the video about the petition. The petition itself is still up.
This site will always be entertaining.

It really will be.
1361615
Yup, just wait for the next site update/change/ban/announcement or everything else that will spawn drama, flamewars, whinning and threats about leaving the site.
It will never get boring.
It's Friday night, I've been off for two weeks and I have to come back to this?
Yeah, this petition of his will do absolutely no good because Knighty hates him. So even if he does get enough signatures it won't mean anything. And he also admitted in a PM that he was Kellykitty, wanted to be "friends" and yet still said in his last blog that he fucking hated my guts.
I didn't believe him then, and I don't believe him now. But just for shits and giggles, lets sign the petition. It'll be funny.
1363365
Yeah, man. I don't think he knows that, though. I signed it just to keep track.
1363365
Also, why does he seem to dislike you so much? You seem pretty cool whenever I talk to you.

Honestly I'm not quite sure for the reason other than maybe I've just been one of his more vocal critics.
Sometimes, when the mood strikes, I'll read a bad story and give it a review. It's nothing personal against the author and most people accept this as not being personal but some do take it that way. My guess is that early on when he was writing some of these stories he either deleted my comments, and those of everybody else that didn't like his story. Or he simply wouldn't listen when people pointed out the problems with what he wrote.
Come to think of it what might have set him off was those times I'd find him making a comment on somebody else's story complaining about the same things that he himself used to do. That's where the whole hypocrite thing started. You can't say that a story sucks because the character is a Gary Stu if you yourself have written some terrible Gary Stu fiction and then don't admit he's a Gary Stu.
From there he started following me around and trying to get into fights. Sometimes I'd so do if I was bored, and sometimes I wouldn't. I recently came across a thread where he claimed I was the one downvoting his comments and it was a story I had never even seen before yet he went on about it as if I was guilty.
And I'll admit it's not as lulzy as it once was. He's more like an afterthought now. I've got real things to think about and do.
1364773
Damn interesting, man. I'm sure it was a joke, but were you ever really going to press charges or whatever you threatened him with? You're girlfriend said no, but do you think it could have eventually escalated to that point?
1364799
In all honesty no, it was never my intention simply because the onus would be on me to prove that his words had damaged me and my reputation or had caused me harm. Now had he called my bluff I don't know how I would have reacted but I was never betting on him being smart enough to figure it out on his own.
Kid is only 13 and from what I've seen he leads a pretty sheltered life which means that he doesn't actually know how the world works. It was a gamble that he'd fold, give the necessary public apology and then when it was up for everybody to see, that's when I'd contact Knighty and get him permabanned.
Now he's started it all up again and I say let him. I've really wasted more than enough time and paid more attention to him than he deserves. I signed his petition for shits and giggles and as of now I'm pretty much done with him because it will be a cold day in hell before Knighty lets him back in. That and I just don't really have the time to devote to messing with him as often as I did before so there's that.
Oh well. Life goes on.
1365060 And it's not as if it matters much more anyway. He really no longer has any way to reach us and it's not like any of us care enough about YouTube to visit him there.

I commented on his video, said I had signed his petition and that both what I did and what he's trying to do were pointless gestures that will accomplish nothing. He deleted my comment.
But there's still only 4 signatures on it. I was hoping for maybe a dozen by now. At least give him some kind of hope.
1368507
And I kind of messaged Knighty asking what I should tell Theater.
1368543
I just did the same thing basically asking Knighty to sign it for shits and giggles. I doubt he will but I wanted him to be aware of young Connor's machinations. I also doubt I'll get any kind of response in turn. Knighty probably gets a thousand PMs a day. I doubt mine or yours will actually make any kind of difference.
But there's always hope.
1368570 Uma, what the fuck did you do to him anyways? By the way he makes it, you made it sound like you threatened to kill him. I know that's not the case but I want to actually look THIS gift horse in the mouth.

Really it wasn't all that much. I just told him his stories were bad and how it was he could fix them. Then we'd get into a flame war where he'd throw out a bunch of insults and then when he was beaten would respond with just emoticons as if that somehow meant anything. Most of the time that was on other stories where he'd say, "THIS SUCKS!" and imply that that was constructive criticism. I'd direct the author to his page and his stories to see that Theater Critic's stories were typically worse.
He never listened and continued to write bad stories and just bad mouth other authors without giving anything constructive in return. I continued to respond and list the problems with them and what he could do in the future to avoid such things. Rinse and repeat. Eventually he blocked me from commenting.
Yet for some reason he seemed fixated on me in particular. Maybe I've just a little too much pitbull in me and I will continue to respond to people just for the lulz so I became his "enemy".
Several times during all this he sent me a PM. A couple of times he wanted it out with me, I told him to f*ck off because I'm not interested. And part of that was because I knew it would piss him off if he felt I was ignoring him and didn't consider him a worthy adversary. I don't of course, but that's besides the point.
Then he wanted my Skype address because as he put it, "I REALLY WANT TO GIVE YOU A PIECE OF MY MIND... I mean I want to discuss things with you". I again told him to f*ck off and if he wants to tell me something he can do so quite easily in a PM. I never blocked him from my channel, but he would do this to me all the time.
And finally, once his Theater Critic account had been permabanned he sent me a PM from his Kellykitty account admitting it was him and that he wanted to be friends. I didn't buy it then as according to his apology he hated my guts. So really it was no different than his last claim to want to be a better user after being banned for 6 weeks.
This leads us to a couple of days ago when I actually signed his petition to get him re-instated, informed him on his channel that this was a waste of time and Knighty would never let him back on and then PM'ed Knighty himself to have him sign it just for the lulz. The video was taken down, he's not coming back and a week later there's still only 5 signatures on his petition.
But I find the whole thing has grown tiresome and the last few exchanges just felt like I was going through the motions and didn't actually feel anything towards him or the exchange we were having. It's like picking on the special needs kid, or that one that used to sit in the back of the room and eat paste. When it comes down to it, you're shooting fish in a barrel and the fish can't shoot back so you get bored and walk away.
After all that I just need to say that I don't hate him and I'd be the first to welcome him back if he actually took the lessons from all this to heart and actually tried to play nice with the rest of us. I think he needs to grow up and mature a bit before we get to that point though.
1383610 Well... That was quite long. (that's what she said) And I agree with entirely, he can come back if he takes everything you said about him to heart and actually writes good decent work. Right now, everything he has is...
1383729
I could actually care less about what he writes (maybe just a little bit of me does), I just want him to be a better person.
1383807 Aye, don't we all?
1383811
Yeah. While I've got you here, can I ask why you decided to watch me?
1383819 I thought I already was actually. When I saw I wasn't I just clicked the button. The same thing happened with RainbowBob. I thought I was following him, turns out I wasn't.
1383824
Coolio, man.
