Don't actually insult him. Now he can say "the PPC is mean and called me names" and be right. This does not help our side should any third parties actually take an interest. {= /

No need to stoop to his levels.

From what I've seen in the IRC, you wouldn't stop when clearly asked a couple of times to stop. I don't know what you were thinking, but yelling things about (pardon my French, no offense) baby-rape is certainly not a way of keeping people by your side.

Ever since I've been here, April 2015, I had nothing but positive, kind, and helpful response from the PPC. No bullying, insults, threats, ridiculing my writing - nothing. And I'm sure I'm not the only one. So maybe the problem is not on the PPC side...?

Face it, man, if you cannot handle critique, and people disliking your work - you don't have balls (or, ovaries, if you're a girl) to be an author. Instead, you're reaching for your only defense - threats and complaints, where it is YOU who have a real problem. I saw you speaking highly of yourself - being the next Tim Shafer of gaming... if those ambitions were so high, while you were trying writing - it seems somebody must've fooled you badly.

Don't try to be intimidating, man. You can't do anything to these guys. Even if all writing communities will hate the PPC - nothing will change. It will still operate. Instead, try to learn how to handle critique. And what do you think will happen if somebody will criticize your games? Will you threaten to destroy every single gamer there is?

Step out of your comfort zone, and face the real life. It won't give you all you want on a silver platter. You could've step away from the PPC and find a writing community you'd feel more welcome in. Instead, you've set yourself a goal to insult, threaten and - honestly - annoy people. Tell me, was it worth it?

Just for the record; I know it's already been done.

And, I know it's bait, I know I shouldn't respond, but seriously, this one line:

there is a word for keeping people around just to bully them

O rly? We kicked him out. And now we're doing it even harder. Nobody ever forced him to hang around; in fact, we are now forcing him to be gone. This, if it were not clear already, is the exact opposite of his accusation. There would seem to be at least one very serious flaw in his perception of reality.

Is anyone even remotely concerned by his threats, by the way? I mean, theoretically they're serious and could mean some trouble for us, but... I guess I'll believe it when I see it.

Here and here should give you a general idea/reminder.

He was banned, what, a year ago? That... it's like you're voting for Obama to be president. That already happened!

What you want is technical enforcement, which is automatic. IP address will be banned, any further posts will be deleted on sight.

"Minions! Light the Nameless-Admin-Signal!"

"Uh, boss, first of all, we're not minions, and second, isn't the NAsignal just plain black?"

"Foolish minions! Obey my commands at once!"

"Ugh, sure..."

I would listen to them, if not for obvious threats. But, since they are presents, and no clear reason for their issues:

DROP THE HAMMER!

That anyone could be this hostile to our community after interacting with us is honestly kinda unsettling to me. That says more about you as a person, than us as a community.

Ban, please.

Thanks, Rifle Calibre Guy, for making me laugh. I needed that. Since you were already banned, Guy, it looks like it's time for the banhammer to descend.

And remember:

(Internet Tough Guys are the gift that keeps on giving.)

Banhammering seems appropriate.
