How weird. Poster removed ALL of his likes from my posts! :/ - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Janice Johnson · 02-17-2023, 12:09 PM

So, on another Website, I am writing a Fictional Axl Rose story and my biggest Supporter who liked my Chapters all of a sudden removed all the likes he gave my Chapters.

I should have known something was up when my thread count went up 200 views in just one day. Turns out, those views were from him removing all of the likes he gave my Chapters. I even Private Messaged him to ask if I did something wrong for him to suddenly remove all of the likes, but he ignored my PM.

Is it possible that he was banned? I've participated on some boards that were part of a larger "community" of forums, where if a particular member was banned globally, then all traces of their contributions to all community forums would go *poof*.
It was odd, because if your yourself chose to end your membership, all your posts would stay, and there was nothing you could do to eliminate them. But if a global admin decided you needed to go, then EVERYTHING disappeared with you

No, he wasn't banned. He's still an Active Member to this day, which is baffling that he all of a sudden out of the blue removed ALL his likes from my posts.

He even encouraged my Chapters and gave me valuable feedback, so for him to suddenly remove ALL of his likes from my Chapters is very weird and confusing.

PM him again nicely asking if you made him mad somehow......

Good luck

I sent him another PM asking if he was mad at me. Hopefully he doesn't think I turned into a crazy stalker or something. I think a couple of PM's is sufficient however. If he doesn't answer this second one, I'll know it's time to stop PMing him.

"Likes", and "reputation" are a pretty superficial benchmark, IMO, so I really wouldn't lose much sleep over it. So much of it is fostered by pandering anyway.

You can never be sure, you might have said just one little thing that rubbed him the wrong way, and he decided to retaliate? People look for reasons to be offended, so he may have been a trainwreck waiting to happen, anyway?

Im so sorry he is being mean

He read the second PM and didn't answer. I'm not sending him any more PM's unless something changes. I don't know what his problem is with me , especially since he used to be so nice to me.

he's probably the REAL Axl Rose and was just worried that you were getting TOO CLOSE

About the real Axl Rose, I think the only things he'd be upset about is my Fictional Axl Rose being Bisexual having a sexual and romantic relationship with his Boyfriend(Real life Axl is Straight,)
), my Fictional Axl Rose's constant lying(Real life Axl is always honest, my Fictional Axl Rose has told countless lies, the first being he wasn't Axl Rose when Fans of Guns N'Roses approached him,

), and my Fictional Axl Rose hiding in a crawl space when he was on the run for Assault and damage of property (My Fictional Axl Rose punched a Paparazzi and broke his camera when he followed him around, snapping unwanted pictures of him without his permission despite asking him to stop. The real Axl has punched Paparazzi for stuff like this,

but he definitely didn't go hide in a crawl space like a trapped rat afterwards.

Well, right there I think you likely solved your own puzzle. Lightning rod issues tend to polarize people to the point they question who they are willing to be friends with.
I've seen a lot of people "turn" on the issue of homosexuality.

Gays who will not tolerate "phobes" as well as the converse. So, perhaps your "friend" discovered you to be on the wrong side of some revelation that you made, and did not want to risk a "guilty by association" type exposure?

I think you figured it out. The "friend" dumped her once the story took a bisexual turn. Still, he could have had the decency to tell her what the reason was.

He also liked the Chapters where Billy and my Fictional Axl Rose were dating. I'm thinking maybe he was dared to like my chapters to falsely make me think he thought I was a good writer or something and promised money for doing so, did so, and got paid, and then abruptly removed all of his likes from my Chapters and then ignored me.

GentlemanJim · 02-21-2023, 11:27 PM

The following old meme comes to mind

And it's kind of a twist on the concept of cancel culture, prescribing that if you claim some one as your friend, somehow that means you must endorse all of their beliefs....which is BS, what the argument tries to do is encourage us to disown friends who own/sponsor unpopular beliefs.

AKA "you can't be my friend if you have friends who believe__________". seeking to make the holder of the unpopular belief a pariah.

And many people do conduct their affairs that way. They won't be friends with anyone who feels differently than they do about certain priorities.

You believe he got paid for patronizing you? Why would anyone want to hurt you so much that they would be willing to pay to see it? That's a pretty big leap
