When it comes to blockage in relation to Ulti, are you an active participant?



Just curious; I've seen several mentions of people saying that they dislike seeing Ulti quoted often. Usually this is in conjunction with some variation of the line, "I have him blocked for a reason."

Personally, I don't see the need to block him. When he gets most irritating, I'll ignore his posts and hope others don't engage his obvious baiting behavior. For example, a few weeks ago he came into the APWT and decided to insult everyone in there and claim they were all poor and uneducated, and unfortunately, some people engaged him on that. Still, I'd hate to miss a portion of a conversation that might be interesting or notable.

I block Ulti and avoid the politics topic because I have better things to do with my life than listen to a broken record.

Ulti is easily ignored without using a site feature and not inherently annoying to read to me when he's in full on idiot mode so never had him blocked. I do respect that there are reasons to block him beyond "I dislike this individual" or "this person disagrees with me often" though.

No, I don't.

I see Ulti as an angry guy who often takes out his frustrations by insults and name-calling and hyperbolic extremist discourse. But, weirdly, that's what I like about him. He's colorful. He's a character, unlike others who have been posting here for years and I couldn't name a single thing about their personality.

I wouldn't like him if he were a Strahax-esque dude who just came here to troll and nothing more. But Ulti isn't like that. He opens up, talks about his personal life, has his vulnerable moments...so even when he's just slinging insults it feels like a valid part of his character arc instead of bargain-bin trolling. (Well, okay, it's often both. But I can forgive the latter because the former exists.) Dude wins a contest, is on top of the world, on top of the board. Marries a beautiful woman whom he is in love with. Gets locked out of threesome. Gets into domestic incident after party. Lays down the law: No more alcohol or I divorce you. She sticks to it. Now you get this bipolar swerve between "I love my life, I love my wife, everything is great" and "I bet I could leave for a week and she wouldn't notice because she's so glued to the Internet but I can't leave her because she stuck to her promise and I've got to stick to mine." I don't mean any of this in a glib sense; it is all interesting, even if sometimes predictable (RIP Face Ulti 2017-2017).

So yeah I am invested enough in the dude's character arc that I would never want to block him.

I didn't actually block him until after the APWT incident. That same day, in another topic he whined with something like "I'm nothing but nice to everybody here and you all treat me like crap because you're insecure" and that's when I realized he's never going to post anything of value that I'll care to read so I might as well just actually use the feature

Never go in the politics topics but I do have him blocked for APWT purposes because his posts are completely useless and do nothing but take up space. At least someone like MWC is just passionate about what he likes and doesn't like in wrestling and I can have interesting discussions with him at times. Ulti legitimately wants wrestling to die now and has said as much.

I do, and in the months before I actually did "when was the last time this guy posted anything constructive and relevant instead of just trolling" was a common thought.

(MtG related topics aside. I do recognize he's capable of being a normal person and having normal discussions there. But since that subject doesn't mean much of anything to me, well, yeah)

Totally reasonable, but on an unrelated note, also a reason I think he might actually be the real Preston.

I think it might be too, because of the Power Rangers topic and because his change in "style" may be explained from the fact that his Youtube hits brought out an underlying narcissist that changed up his persona.

Preston once PMed me like a page long rant about Nidia accompanied by a youtube that referenced a timestamp that was from a minute higher than the duration of the video.

Why Nidia I have no idea. I probably liked Nidia more than most people though so I appreciated it.

Point is he PMs things that aren't hate filled rants so yeah I tend to believe it's a real person.

Yeah, he blocked me far before I blocked him because I quoted his post where he celebrated that protestor getting run down with a car, then tried to deny that he did

So he blocked me because I'm "too negative and jealous" of him, and he "won't have that in his life"

I can buy that. It doesn't really feel like a different person. The slight improvement in writing quality often mentioned by others might just come with age and experience. Definitely think your theory is solid.

He probably tried to send this to me first because I blog about Survivor. It got deleted since I have him blocked, too, so he tried someone random.

Only reason I have him ignored is because I knew such a PM was coming after I got modded for talking about him >_>

ulti is pretty insufferable in the hearthstone topic, probably about 80-90% of his posts there are bad, but I don't check that topic regularly enough to care. outside of there I think he's... amusing.

Talking about games and stuff he's super cool. Just gotta avoid those politics topics, but even then I don't believe in just ignoring someone's opinions. It just bothers me when a comment is super offensive.
