Official Everybody Edits Forums

Okay, here I am folks, and yes, I am Grensnez. I honestly had no intentions of posting anything on forums again - but after all the awful crap that's gone on lately, I have had enough of staying as a bystander to this and I feel that it would be important to share what I've been contemplating saying for several weeks.

Let's get straight to the point - Lurid deserved to be removed from staff whether he was fired by Xeno or not. He literally taunted me in-game prior to becoming a mod, antagonizing and encouraging me to kill myself NUMEROUS TIMES shortly before being hired to staff (and yes, I have screenshots of this. Don't hesitate to contact me on Discord if you'd like to see them.) I informed Xeno about it and he dealt with the situation very well - creating a group with Lurid and I, and Lurid gave me a long apology in said group (although in hindsight I am skeptical of whether or not he was apologizing insincerely just to avoid getting fired, but nonetheless...) Xeno dealt with the issue very quickly and appropriately, and allowed us both to share our sides of the story before coming to a conclusion.

As much as I do not agree with holding grudges against people for past mistakes, there have also been plenty of demonstrations of Lurid not having the public professionalism to be able to be in a mod position.

Moving on from Lurid, let's take a look at my next points.
Based on the many things I've seen, witnessed and heard, it's pretty clear to me that many of you are far more hostile towards Xeno than he has ever been to anyone. No, I am not saying he's never done or said anything wrong, nor am I claiming he is perfect, because he isn't. But many of you are making jokes, memes, attacks and insults at his expense, for no other reason than to entertain yourselves and/or express your petty hostility towards him. You have made very insulting and unacceptable "jokes" about his body and weight, among other things, which is ridiculously unhelpful.

For many of you, it's clear to me that this isn't even about trying to make EE a better place or trying to get Xeno to change his behaviors anymore. This is literally purely motivated by wanting to attack, defame, and upset him so that he'll have an angry reaction, so then you can screenshot said reaction and use it to hold grudges against him for a very long time, and/or make memes and "jokes" for your own entertainment. If you want Xeno to get a better handle on his anger problems, maybe you should start by NOT doing things just to **** him off for the **** and giggles of watching him explode.

I deeply regret showing any of you the screenshots of the conflict between Xeno and I back in April 2020. I don't disagree that he shouldn't have spoke to me the way he did that day, and it was a very emotionally difficult period in my life. Although maybe one or two people sent me supportive messages, which was appreciated, it's become very clear in hindsight that the majority of you NEVER actually gave a **** about how the situation impacted me emotionally. The majority of you didn't even attempt to make me feel better about the situation in any way, despite how much you resented Xeno's actions, and continued to socially outcast me even when I finally spoke up about Xeno's behaviors from that time.
Most of you only wanted to see the screenshots of Xeno's conflict with me so you could use it as a justification for starting fights with him in the EEU server, and as an inspiration for making "jokes" and memes even though Xeno and I managed to bury that hatchet many months ago.

After you guys got bored of harassing and fighting with Xeno for over an hour, and sending armies of people with pitchforks against him, you immediately went back to your typical treatment of me, banning me from the EE server, talking **** about me and not wanting any association with me. So I basically let you guys milk me for anything you could use to fuel the Xeno hate train, and after I was milked to emptiness, you tossed me in the trash bin and left me there, then started the hate train again towards both myself and Xeno.

My final point: you'll all be happy to hear that I now have absolutely no interest in rejoining the EE server, and having any association with the majority of its members. Although there are some exceptions to the latter, I am still willing to share the screenshots I mentioned earlier in this post with anyone from the server, if you wish to see them. But otherwise, if you don't want to see the screenshots and you're not a trusted friend of mine, do not ever contact me again. Don't message me on Discord, don't talk to me in mutual servers, don't talk to me in the chat of any of the games.

I'm aware that the things I said about Lurid and Xeno will probably be disagreed with by everyone in the EE server, and probably many of the people who reply to this thread. But you know what? I genuinely do not care what any of you guys say about me anymore. You can disagree with me, make assumptions about me, act like you can read my mind, and insult/judge me in any way you'd like, as often as you please. You can talk **** about me to your heart's content, make **** memes and "jokes" at my expense. I admittedly used to care way too much when I would see or hear about people speaking negatively about me, and I wasted far too much emotional energy trying to get you guys to stop assuming things about my own personal life and experiences. But guess what - those days are over. You can say whatever the hell you want about me, no matter how untruthful, cruel or inaccurate it may be, because I have learned that your judgments and assumptions about me do not define or reflect who I am.

The people who can see past your stubborn beliefs about me, and who treat me with the respect and kindness that all living beings deserve and desire, are the only kinds of people i wish to surround myself with. And if anyone I know jumps to your side based on your biased and untruthful assumptions about me, then I won't try to make them stick around. I'll just let them go, and y'all can have fun saying nasty things about me as much as you want, without my presence.

Say whatever you want about me - I am no longer phased by it. I'll let y'all keep talking your **** because I know in my own heart, brain and body that none of your **** is the truth about me.
