Seth/Ean'Nari here

[Seth]

Hey everyone, Seth/Ean’Nari from the original NaviBlue here. I figured I’d go ahead and make an introduction post.

I know most of you know me and you probably remember that I didn’t leave NaviBlue on the best of terms. I’m sure you all remember the huge argument I got into with several people in the Role Play forum, namely PunkMaister. That was the main reason why I left.

For those that don’t remember or don’t know all the details, I shall enlighten you. I’ll try to keep this short.

As most of you remember I was a big role player on NaviBlue. I spent most, if not all, of my time in the Role Play forum in the different role play threads I participated in. As time went on, more and more people began to leave NaviBlue, which meant a lot of the role play threads went inactive. I was kind of annoyed by this because some of the time the person who created the role play thread was the one who left and we had no idea what direction to go with the story(i.e. the Time of Great Sorrow thread). I also had a bad habit of coming off as an asshole when I was trying to offer constructive criticism.

My departure from NaviBlue all started one time in the Pandora Rules thread. I had made a comment, which I can’t remember exactly, about Tirea_way barely getting on and posting in that thread. I must’ve said something to piss her off because she then posted a comment saying: “I really don’t appreciate your attitude.” To which I stupidly replied with, “Well, I expected a response like that. I’m done with this thread.”

After that, I made a post in one of the Out of Character threads, saying I was done with role playing and I don’t care what happens with all my characters. RandomTheNavi then got on my case about me being rude to Tirea_way. I almost replied to his post and pointed out all the accusations he made that were wrong, but instead I just made a post that basically said “Yeah, I know, I’m an asshole. I’m a piece of s**t.” I left that post up for a about a day, then deleted it along with several other posts I had made in the last couple of days. I had the intention of deleting those posts, then taking a break from NaviBlue for a couple of days.

However, it didn’t turn out that way. About a day or two later Kiyevanie sends me a message on Facebook saying that PunkMaister was trying to get a hold of me. So, I go back to NaviBlue to see what’s up. I notice I had two private messages from him; he was asking if I had deleted those posts or did someone hack my account. I said that I had deleted them, and that’s when it started. He starts posting in the role play forum, saying that I vandalized his thread since some of the posts I deleted were in his Star Wars thread. He then continues on saying that he’s going to report me to the admins and have me banned, and that “punitive action” will be taken against me. This was the last straw for me. I got on one of the Out of Character threads made my last post ever on NaviBlue, which was on Friday afternoon, March 2, 2012. I don’t remember the first part of it, but I remember the last couple of sentences. It went: “I really don’t care that you’re trying to get me banned, nor do I care about your garbage ass thread. If the admins are going to believe everything you say without asking me for my side of the story, then yes, please, go ahead and ban me. I honestly will not lose any sleep over it.”

After the message was posted, I hit the logout button. I didn’t get back on until Sunday evening, March 4, 2012. I just got on to see if anyone had sent me a private message. I didn’t even look to see if there were any replies to that last post I made. I didn’t care what everyone said or thought about me after that point. Seeing that I had no private messages, I logged off, deleted NaviBlue from my browser favorites, deleted all the Avatar wallpapers I had, pretty much ridded myself of anything Avatar or Naviblue related. I cut all ties with NaviBlue and didn’t log back on in well over a year.

That’s the story, and I know this came out longer than I expected.

The bottom line is, I’m sorry for acting like such an asshole during my last few weeks on NaviBlue. I let a bunch of stupid things get to me and eventually it boiled over and I blew up at everyone. I know because of that it cost me a lot of friends. Again, I’m sorry.

If you boiled over, I went supernova the last weeks! Got pissed at the never ending problems with NB at the end and and I went for the people around me.
Im the one that should've been banned!

[flighter]

Well, poop happens... what else can I say. I tend to overreact sometimes too. I was not very active at NB, but sopmehow the palce feels like (online) home to me. There is a lot more sane people there than on other online communities, lol...

What I wouldn't like to see on this place is (1) politics (because we are all coming from different backgrounds and it is very likely we would disagree on some stuff) and (2) personal attacks for whatever reason. Handling politics is relatively easy, edit/lock/delete... but sadly I don't have a good solution to handle personal stuff on the forum.

[Seth]

I was obsessed with NaviBlue/Avatar. I spent almost all of my free time on that site. After I left on March 4, I realized how addicted I was to Avatar. That was why I got rid of anything Avatar related.
That was what I did back in the two years I spent on NaviBlue, I surrounded myself with everything Avatar.

That was why I didn't go back to the site while it was still up. I thought "if I go back then that same bullshit's just going to start all over again".

In hindsight, I really wish I would have taken everything in moderation.

[flighter]

Well, what matters is what we do from now on. I too have my regrets in life, but there is no time machine yet so...

[Seth]

Yeah, that's true.
I just wanted to get all this stuff off my chest.

[SiberianMau]

Eh, everyone makes mistakes. I think the time away can be healthy and let us focus on other stuff in our lives.
