Warning. · 10:48am May 22nd, 2015
Dear Devine Path
I assume you're going to read this at some stage, so I would like to say that it was an interesting experience getting to know you. Below is effectively the embodiment of how I interpreted what you said to me and how you impacted and effected me negatively. Sadly, their was no positive side.
And Devine Path, I have referred to you as a he, but not because I refuse to call you a she. I only realised this when I finished. So sorry about that. I'm sorry it turned out like this as we could have been friends. I pity you, mate.
Yours, Tavi4
I would like to say a quick word of warning for fellow users. It is warning of Devine Path.
Be wary of him for he is a self-centred, argumentative and generally unpleasant individual. He is an individual who seems to love making people feel miserable and frustrated, whilst he clams to be doing something good and righteous.
Be careful of him. He will reel you in to believing that he has done nothing wrong, and believe me when I say, he will be extremely convincing. He uses persuasive language techniques to great effect (most of them, I hasten to add, he doesn't).
It started when I said something admittedly sexist, and he reacted. This was fair and I apologised. He then persisted for quite some time that I was looking down on him, and that he wanted to help me to be more accepting of him. Despite the fact that I asked him politely many many times to please except my numerous apologies and insistence upon the fact that I was perfectly happy to except him for who he was, which I truly was and continued to be, He was adamant that I was "tormented" and "in emotional pain". I said to him that I would like to simply be friends, and that I was in no way tormented or pained. This continued in much the same way for a long time, until I politely asked him to please stop calling me "darling", as I was beginning to feel very uncomfortable with this. He, as was the norm by then, immediately lapsed into a tremendous farrago of defensive nonsense about how I was being rude and that I should stop rejecting him. I explained, certainly not for the first time mind you, that I was merely wanting to advance in friendship, and, as usual, he retorted with the same self-centred arguments that he had been throwing at me almost since we began to communicate with each other. After one particular PM I sent explaining that I was a Christian, and did not believe I needed his help, he found a new loop hole, being my religious beliefs, to attack. At one stage, and this is true, he said of my religion, You are unwilling to debate, thus allowing the rot preventing you from speaking with me on equal terms (he was referring to my Christianity here) to spread.
He based all his arguments on my faith and constantly, shamelessly, insulted me with his opinionated words. I asked him politely, so as not to offend him, if he could please stop insulting me and my faith. He, in turn, retorted and, as per the norm, said that I was the one insulting him. He then began to literally, through his words, attempted to bring me out of my religious beliefs. I said, and I quote, I am fully aware that people will hate me because of my beliefs. I know this, and I say this to make sense of the context and not to impose this on you, the Bible says so, and I believe the Bible. It also says not to give in to the "ways of the world". It is mildly insulting to say that I need to adjust, and that you can help me. I am doing what I have been taught to do for 19 years. Please be understanding and please know that I really don't want to debate, but I will reject some of the things that you say to me. Once again, not because I dislike you, but because I have been raised to do this, and I'm not planning on changing that.
Things when on like this for quite a while; him saying ridiculously inaccurate statements about my religion and my "unhappiness", until I said, and again, I quote, Please please please grasp the fact that this is simply the way I am, like being transsexual is the way you are. You would take offence to me trying to change you, but you seem to deem it right for you to change me. I fail to see how this is fair. I know that you have no wish for me to change you, and I would appreciate it if you did the same for me.
He replied with this (quoted): That kind of response is precisely why I can't be your friend. You can't maintain a relationship when you orient only by faith in a higher authority, not trust and respect for the person you seek to befriend. It's very simple. You're treating me as lesser, and as someone who is "dying" due to not being devoted to your faith. You're also pushing the issue away, hoping that if you ignore it, it won't come up. It might not, but that does not change that you and your friends will not be feel happiness. You aren't learning, that's the problem. You have probably responded by the time I send this. I'll read it, but you should know I feel it's best that you stop speaking to me from here on. I don't dislike you either, but as you are now, we are just not compatible.
At no stage, no stage did I, in any way shape or form, hint at me being higher than him, or him being "lesser" than me. I believe, that in this world, my faith is a lower authority. I had been trying my upmost to both trust and respect him. Note that he says we are not compatible? After that, I was absolutely convinced that he only wanted to please himself.
I could go on and on about Devine Path, but I won't, because it is all much the same as this. But I will say this; I said to him, after I believed this incessant tirade had been endured far too long, I said this (quoted): I am so incredibly close to blocking you altogether. But, I present you with one more chance of redemption; You may call me darling and may not voice your personal views on me. I will not voice my personal views on you. Are these acceptable terms?
Note that, I been enduing his calling me "darling" for a long time.
He then blocked me.
Now, he will more than likely find this blog, and he will doubtless post a long, complex and I'm-ever-so-humble, or woe-is-me explanation. I can assure you that if, or when, he does, it will sound very convincing. Be aware, he is very good with words. One could liken him to Stalin or Hitler, as they got entire nations on there side with their words.
So remember, he will try his upmost to convince you of otherwise.
And also remember that the quotes are all excerpt direct from our conversation.
And to all those following him, of which I'm sure their are many, remain his friend. Only, don't get on his bad side. He loves to debate...a lot.
And… blocked.
Okay then. Thanks for telling us Matt.

Me or him? If it is him, you don't have to, but if you deem it necessary, I will not prevent you.
3087728
You're welcome Michael. I thought it would be wise to make people aware.
Uhhh... I've been known to yell at Young-Earth creationists on occasion, but I don't care if you're a christian... What did he take offense at exactly? The fact that you were christian? Who cares? Is he trans? Is that why there was the whole he/she kerfuffle at the beginning? Did that come up? Why would it matter to anyone if it did? Why did any of this happen? Was he offended simply by the fact that the bible exists? Why did this even happen on a pony si-
Whatver. I'm catholic. We're all going to hell.
3087744 Him.
3087749
I genuinely have no idea. And yes, he is transgender, which I was ready and willing to accept, and I already had.
I think the only reason it happened was because he felt inclined to attempt manipulativeness and a one sided judge-mentality.
And no, I have no idea why this happened on a pony site.
3087754
Thanks for not blocking me. I was worried their.
I wonder if anyone will read the entire thing?
3087765 I actually did.
3087784
Wait, you blocked me?
3087784
Oh, I see now. You actually read the entire thing? Thanks. I'm glad someone has.
3087793 No, I read the whole thing!
3087816
Good on you. But remember to heed my warning. Because this guy/girl is like a snake.
3087749
As a Mason, I'm going to Hell because according to the internet, if you're a Mason, you're a member of the Illuminati.
3087765 I read it in its entirety. I'll keep an eye out. Just one thing though;
I know that you mean that they were both very charismatic, but I don't think it's best to compare a scumbag member of a website to the worst dictators in the history of the world, especially considering that they're both mass-murderers.
3087974 No. As a Mason you get to go to a neat clubhouse and get a cool ring that I'm not jealous of at all
3087982
But my dear man, this is how one displays a blog with poignance.
3087991
ILLUMANATI CONFIRMED!
3088000
3088008 Yes.
3088011
It was only a matter of time.
3088013
3088000 Had to post this. The opinions of John Cleese are not necessarily those of the Light of Triumph.
3088024
The opinions of John Cleese are most certainly mine.
3088024 Monty Python is certainly worth my time.
3088042
As it is worth mine.
I shall keep an eye on him
3090667
Smart man.
3090669
3090671
Yep. I do feel sorry for him though. I think that he might have some issues going on. Perhaps it's the result of an anxiety. Or maybe a deep emotion tumult, buried so deep that he has convinced himself that he is righteous and that the planet revolves entirely around him.
3090677 maybe
3090681
Yes, maybe. But remember that I have experienced first hand why he is like in a deep conversation. Do you know him, per chance?
3090684 nope I have never heard of him/her
3090690
Oh. Well, if you do, just be careful, ok? I do care about you, Scoots.
3090691 I will be careful mate I always am
3090693
I know you will be.
3090695
Indeed
3090699
Yes indeed.
