I feel like she would hate me so I guess I joined the forum at the right time.
I recall her claiming I was an Isis member once. As genuinely humorous as that was, and as much as I definitely fell for the baiting and made things worse, it is a relief how much this place has improved in the past few years.

She called me and another member, can't remember who, Isis sympathizers at some point, so I can relate.

Jetoar is very active on Youtube, probably just busy running the Paleocreatures business.
Also I think Newt was just joking.

As far as I can tell, Jetoar is taking a break. Dan's Dinosaurs has his products shipped directly from him, and they're all unlisted. Also, I think Newt was joking too. Though "American" being a language is an idea so dumb, I don't put it past us.

He has a discord he uses now


Good to know. Now if only I understood what a Discord is.


(Please don't explain. I am comfortable in my ignorance of what the kids are doing these days).


QuoteAnd I don't think so, English is English.

Americans, Scottish and Australians and plenty of other nationalities speak the same language just different accents and some words may be used differently it's just that. The same goes with all of Latino America and Spain with spanish as a whole.


Abe Lincoln didn't lead the Rough Riders up Beacon Hill to fight Rommel and his Hessians just so we could keep speaking English, as though we were no better than One Direction members or David Beckham! I demand recognition of Americanese as its own, like, totally awesome language and stuff!  >:(

Never!

And nah it's just Jetoar's own community think just people texting each other about whatever a channel they're in is about haha.

It's mostly in Spanish which limits it a bit but since it's my mother tongue I just chat in there for any updates mainly lol

I fail to see the jokes through text sometimes it's definitely something I sometimes struggle with lol

He's extremely active on his Discord as well so there's that.

I'm three times your age, imagine how I feel! I remember the world before smart phones (or even mobile phones), the world wide web, and autotune. Those were better times...well, except for all the bad stuff, but let's not talk about that.

Technology like phones and social media are like guns. They are usefull and all should be entitled... if they can use it right. But you die from gun-owners by blood loss, and you die from social media stars by cringing

Quote from Stargatedalek's twitter:

QuoteYou want to prove I deserved a temp ban for being such a "meanie face", then you need to PERMA BAN people like "Tyrantqueen", who are publicly bigoted and who harass and target people. If there was an alternative to the DTF I would have switched YEARS ago!

I haven't harassed her. The only time we've talked through PMs was when I sold her some lizard toys.

I will be the first to admit that I could be nicer sometimes. I won't deny that I strongly disagree with a lot of Stargatedalek's opinions, but I don't think that constitutes "harrasment" and "targeting".

Good riddance.

EDIT: tweaked the text to better explain my feelings.

She did recognise that she can be harsh at times. The last part where she said good riddance was also corrected afterwards when Dr.Admin warned her and she apologised since she was in her emotions a bit there. At the end of the day we're all here for the lobe of dinosaurs I just don't think it's productive foe the community to hold onto the past like this.

I was also banned alongside you avatar_stargatedalek @stargatedalek and that user Simon whom was actually terrible but needless to say even I recognise I went a bit far with that stupid comment I made. Anywho that's my last message on this before the thread gets locked lol

Feels important to note I was what; 17? When I said that on Twitter (a platform I don't even use anymore). And that was at the breaking point after years of Simon sending me PMs varying from demeaning to threatening. Calling me a "cultural marxist", saying I was "a puppet of the globalists" for having cited NOAA, etc.

Tyrantqueen didn't go after me in PMs, but she more than went out of her way after learning I was LGBT to attack me at every chance. I remember her posting black pigeon (an alt right YouTube figure) videos in response to me at one point (I recall a heavily transphobic and ableist video specifically). It's just that the really nasty stuff got caught quickly and deleted by the mods.

I most certainly reacted poorly, but that was in was in not trusting (and immediately going to) the moderators, not in taking things too seriously.

Please try not to think that way about yourself. You're great, and those people aren't worth listening to.

? @Stolpergeist Why do you say those things? You are a wonderful person. Do not think negatively and as I already mentioned, do not pay attention to the disqualifications that others try to do. Not worth it. Life is very beautiful to think of such people. There are many people who love you.

That her personal text also says "Kek" until her last activity also reads as a red flag to me.

Yeah, and I thought politics weren't allowed here...

But yeah, her and Simon are thankfully gone, so I don't see the point in talking about them any further. I feel like it's only a matter of time before we get banned if keep going.

I don't think explaining would be in keeping with forum rules, and please, save yourself don't look it up. I think we should close this thread now, honestly.

QuoteDon't worry about those pesky Americans. They call trousers 'pants', and that's all kinds of wrong.
What's worse than that is what they call someone's behind.... ;) it is very rude in the UK :x

What's wrong with the word rear?  So now you all want to do is start in on an anti-american theme!  And to think we saved you from the Germans.  This is the thanks we get.   :(
didn't you guys join the war after germany surrendered and then you bombed japan
Shrek 4 is an underrated masterpiece

No, that's all kinds of wrong. You need some history lessons. Also, you're replying to an 8 year old thread here.

Although this is entertaining I ultimately agree with those that think this thread should be locked and forgotten.
