more importantly, don’t anyone ever let djkaktus forget how he ran head over heels into the lap of the nearest authority figure capable of defending his personal interests when those interests (upvote djkaktus, anyone?

) were threatened.
He’s the only person more complicit than me in fostering the toxic upvote culture that reduces your value to an upvote.
So why does djkaktus want you to pledge your upvote to him? Why would it be in-character for the morally bankrupt manchild who acts too cool for school on Twitter(@scp_djkaktus go peep his dated tweets)why does he Need your upvote to the point that it’s his brand?
That’s all he thinks about you.
That is all the good you are in his eyes, to be one in the world’s largest chorus singing to him, the only person allowed to be an individual.
djkaktus gives and takes crit only with designs to tailor you to upvote his material
why do you think he keeps citing legal over moral concerns?
Why do you, Ben, think an authors’ emotional bond to their work must be a ruse and that this is an overreaction?
he is just like I was, empty inside and needing others to tel him he is good to Pretend like he can feel good
Pay no attention to the little man behind the cactus.
in fact we can do better than that
I see that djkaktus is already trying to appropriate my material with one hand while he plays at trying to “save it” with the other.
Maybe he means, save it all for him?
I forbid djkaktus or his alts or any agent acting on his behalf from using my material unless they first join me in deleting all of their original work.
This is not a legal requirement, but a moral one, and it is up to you reading this to fulfill that moral obligation.
do not let my sacrifices be for nothing. Let this be the final reckoning of the upvote obsession.
(Senior staff, djkaktus has a number of alts he uses to post articles under an account without his name attached to “see what it feels like to be one of the little people” so take that one to the bank if you want it. I’m sure someone who analyzes style could find them, I’d point them out but I’ve forgotten the #’s)
#rogetbox is an IRC channel I used to own that is his now, if it isn’t already abandoned it should be. Do the right thing.
