My entirely justified reaction to this thread was because a). he hid it (I wouldn't have had a problem if he just kept the post up, because I could easily just explain what happened and refute it, which I could only do several posts later, but of course, most people didn't read that bit), and b). My friends saw someone badmouthing me, but they didn't understand what it was about. I don't take kindly to people trying to ruin my friendships (even if the accusations turned out to be cardboard-thin).
A friendship that can easily be split in twain by the accusations and "badmouthing" of others isn't much of a friendship to begin with.

That's literally all. I don't care about your opinion of me, unless you're my friend.
Is MOnk your friend? If not, then why do you care about anything he does?

Then the fact that he brought something like this, which doesn't matter to anyone and isn't anyone's business to the forum just to whine about a girl blocking him (and being entirely justified in doing so, especially after what I've learned about him post-thread), and people actually supporting him? That's cool, I get it, you're friends, you've known him longer than me, I don't care about that. It's all cool, so let's move on. I have no interest in "converting" anyone.
Well, I don't really see MOnk whining about something this fickle unless he'd been irritated with you for a while and your hissyfit on Steam kind of just made him feel like sharing his "WTF" experience with the forum.
If someone reacted in such an extraordinary way because I hadn't instantly replied to them (or at all) I'd definitely want to have a chuckle over the sheer hysterics of it with others as well. So I can hardly blame MOnk for it.
Don't want to talk to someone? Simply remove them and be done with it. No need to throw an attention-seeking tantrum before storming out, what-say?

The thread helped me make new friends, so I'm not bothered.
Is this true? I find it weird that you keep mentioning that as if to console yourself.
Be confident, assured of yourself and, again, keep your head on straight and you would not feel the need to comfort yourself with subjective and vague assertions.

And lastly, for the record, if I'd seen Monk's reply to me (in Steam, after I said I was going to block him), I wouldn't have blocked him, but since I already blocked him, there was no way I could see it. So how does that screenshot make sense unless he doctored it? I am willing to accept that Steam somehow still allows you to send messages to people after they've blocked you, but I am going to need proof, so I'll test this out later (anyone else is free to do the same).
Sounds prudent. Unfortunately, it looks rather legit for something that has apparently been doctored.

This'll be my last post here, except to confirm/deny the theory above. I'd love to keep fanning the flames for your "entertainment", but I think everything that needed to be said (and quite a few things that didn't) have been said.
Frankly, I have no intention of hurting you or upsetting you. But yes, I find this nonsense thoroughly entertaining and hope it doesn't end too soon. But in the end you need to realise that this is a hysterical playground-grade argument that serves no better value than to be dissected and enjoyed in the same way as Days of Our Lives and make of that what you will.
But the psycho "HOW U CAN HAZ IGNORE ME?!?!?!" angle is pretty disturbing. Especially in someone older than... what? 18? That's a few short sanity steps away from stalking, voyeurism and collecting pictures, hair, nail clipping sand erecting a shrine.
