Okay, so. I've torn pretty harshly into
@Null already. I stand by literally everything I've said. I think Null gets emotional and transfers those emotions into a biased interpretation of fact. But we're all guilty of that to some extent or another, and there's still something that needs to be said because to leave this unsaid would be patently unfair to Null.
Glaive
is a liar. Null is 100% and absolutely correct on that score.
I'm not talking about a dishonest person who lies to keep himself out of trouble or malign his enemies. I'm talking about a compulsive liar who constantly tells pointless lies for no conceivable reason or benefit to himself or anyone else. I say this as Glaive's friend. Like Null, I've seen Glaive's soft gooey interior. I know what type of person Glaive is. I know he's a good person at heart and despite what I'm about to say, I still consider him my friend. But he lies. He lies to everyone. He lies to me. In the past few weeks I've caught him out in multiple lies he's told me personally. There has been no discernible pattern or payoff to these lies. For the longest time I doubted it because I considered Glaive is a friend. But at some point, the obvious becomes obvious. Either Glaive is telling pointless and meaningless lies on a regular and consistent basis, or dozens of people are conspiring to frame him for it.
So I've done some digging. A huge amount of disseminated rumours and gossip trace their lineage directly back to Glaive. Just what I can think of now, off the top of my head.
1. He lied about WC just being a ruse. That's the biggest one.
2. He lied about being stalked and harassed by a female member of the boards, who was one of his purported friends
3. He lied about having a joint bank account with snakes.
4. He made the vast majority of drama-causing /cow/ posts against other kiwis, such as the ones Null thought came from Pine Tar
5. I am convinced to a moral certainty that he is responsible for passing malicious rumours to two different forum users, both of whom he was in internet relationships with at different times, deliberately setting them against each other in a cycle of catty, vicious, girl-hate and indelibly damaging both of their reputations here
6. He's lied about the current status of snakes and tyce's relationship
7. He claimed Waifu told him Null doxed his girlfriend in the shitbox. Waifu knew nothing about this.
There's more, of course, but I'm not going to go digging through logs over this. The pattern is clear enough to me.
The day I have to trust fucking
Waifu over a friend is a dark day indeed. But that's what things have come to. I love Glaive. I will always love Glaive. But I'm not blind to his flaws, and it's unfair that I'd pillory Null so harshly without turning the same attention to Glaive. Glaive's not here to defend himself, so I was very reluctant to make this post. But I'm making it for the same reason I made my last post. People need to know it's okay to challenge Null's percieved worldview. But they also need to know they should be careful about assuming anything Glaive says is truthful just because there's no discernible motive for him to lie about it. Hell, a lot of the nasty shit Null believes about Glaive and Snakes relationship came directly from Glaive himself, and some of it even seems to date back to when they were still together. I honestly don't know why Glaive is making up random lies with no conceivable benefit to him or anyone else. It's very likely that I'll never know why he's doing it. I know only that he's doing it and that there's two or three particular forumites with nasty rumours floating around them, and practically every malicious rumour I track back to its source stops at Glaive.
You might consider this me betraying Glaive's friendship. I'm sure Glaive himself will consider it a betrayal. I don't know what to call it. How can I know what to call it when I honestly don't even know where I stand?
This is not how you do #pronks, Glaive.
