. Since this isn't about me I better explain beforehand why I'm getting involved. Wolfblade is a close friend of mine and I stick up for my friends, whether they ask me to or not. I haven't been asked to do shit but because I know how badly this is affecting Wolfblade I'm going to say something. If someone has earned my respect and trust I will fight for them when they are being undeservedly fucked with, it's what I consider to be the right thing.
This sad sack bullshit started in October 2010, you can see it here:
Basically, MadDog (from now on referred to as MD) witnessed Arcturus lying his ass off on IB about the reason for his ban over at FA. A legitimate reason to get hot under the collar; when you see a classic asswipe trying to worm their way out of negative consequences for their consistently deplorable actions it makes sense to try and bring the facts to light. It's how one enforces accountability. That's basically what I'm doing now with MD, because he's been an inconceivable cunt and it needs to be pointed out.
Anyway, MD wanted to make sure Arcturus got called out but comments pointing out his lies were being deleted, so MD got pissed off. At the time, Wolfblade had made the above journal and MD commented on it with his displeasure of Arcturus being permitted to have a clean slate on IB and wanted to see him burn instead. He was pissed at Arc and Starling for backing Arc up. Okay so far, sometimes things just get under your skin and you vent about it, no big deal.
However, MD decided Wolfblade should also kick up a stink about this and be his personal warrior, so he, in a disrespectful manner, implored Wolfblade to sever positive ties he had with Starling and take MD's side in the matter. Wolfblade responded by asking for time to make up his mind. What ensued was a psychotic spew of relentless bitching at WB's reluctance to do what MD wanted. Totally rational there! Wolfblade was repeatedly egged on and provoked by MD until he lost his shit and told him to back the fuck off; as you do when someone is grinding your gears.
This pointless horseshit kicked off bad blood between WB and MD and it's still going on, would you be-fucking-lieve it.
Four months ago it turned out MD could be moving close to Wolfblade, so for the sake of mutual friends there was an attempt to put everything to rest and get on with things. MD refused to apologize, fucking up any good chance of a resolution. He then made the following self-righteous shite of a journal:
All Wolfblade asked for was an apology for treating him like shit out of nowhere on FA. He didn't get one. Following this Wolfblade decided to just let it go, he wasn't getting an apology, so fuck it. That would be the end of that, right? But would it? Haha!
Mad Dog is at it again, still not over WB and still trying to fuck with him. Just to illustrate how deluded this guy is: "By the same token, Wolfblade, I don't believe in fighting people's battles for them. You think it makes for good results. I think it makes for bad ones just as often, if not more so, than good.
And I do not appreciate being asked to intervene in drama. Part of why I use Inkbunny as opposed to FA for most of my affairs is because it's low drama."
Unlike how he personally demanded of WB to intervene in drama? Oh and Wolfblade never asked Mad Dog to do shit, his journal was open-ended. This is clearly someone who isn't letting go and is determined to cause as much shit as possible. This other pointless incident ended with another block after MD carried on commenting after he said he wouldn't.
The latest episode is some bitching over gift art. WB drew gift art for Weaselgrease and one of the featured characters partially belonged to MD. At the time, WB did not know about this and didn't find out to whom the character belonged until MD circumvented the block system on this site to bitch at Wolfblade.
So okay, I know personal furry characters are a complicated issue in furry; characters are pretty fucking important. I've personally had my own character drawn horribly in really crappy porn without my permission, so I know it's annoying as hell when people draw things you don't like without your permission. Here's evidence for your amusement:
Hell, I've even had art stolen and modified, but one deals with that shit. It's called life, for fuck sake, you grow a pair after blowing off some steam initially and get the hell over it. Thing that makes MD's situation different is the drawing of his character was entirely unintentional and once WB found out his error he made clear he would not draw that character ever again. Problem solved, right? Oh hell fuckin' no! Justice must be done!
Mad Dog is one of the most relentless, crazy twats I've ever seen. He is so utterly unreasonable, so deaf and blind to reason that he prattles on without any regard for what anyone says. If you criticize him you're either a troll or part of some fictional personal army (or even Wolfblade using someone else's account, what the fuck, lol).
Here is Wolfblade venting his frustrations about this fucking stupid shit:
I don't know what is responsible for people this deluded. I don't know how repeatedly trying to contact someone you mutually decided to block over trivial bullshit, knowingly infuriating them and stressing them out, is actually you 'letting go'. MadDog clearly has not let go and has been harassing the fuck out of Wolfblade, whom is already fucked up lately (a fact MD actually acknowledges).
Ladies and gents, sorry for the drama but when people behave like this they deserve to be called out for it. Disgusting.
So one final clarification. Here's a guy who has made someone else feel like shit time and time again because they wouldn't do as they were told (and had no reason to do so, by the way), stirred up fuckin' bile over the slightest shit and when he's ravaged his target to the point that they can't cope anymore, makes a self-righteous journal edit about how they're the better man. "Ever presuming that Wolfblade might listen to me seemed a flawed premise from the start. Maybe that's hindsight talking now, but learned is learned."
Will he leave WB alone now? I wonder if pigs will also fly. But yeah.
jesus fucking christ! im going through these journals and i've never see SOOOO much writing in my life! these comments look like freaking articles! it's just crazy and amazing how much people need to say as far as a fucking comment. this is kinda off-subject but im just completely amazed at how fucking long these comments are. i can tell this is a huge issue. but im so confused. can someone just briefly tell me what the fuck is going on?! i don't have time to read articles of comments to understand it.

It's other people's drama and the best rule of thumb to take is to not get yourself involved. You don't intervene in every altercation going on outside in the street, why would you do so in furry?

This journal basically says everything, the links elsewhere are to the source material so people can see for themselves and check if I'm not talking out of my ass XP.

Then we heard Weasel and MadDog were moving down here. All that text, that's the effort Blade went to for my sake and Weasel's, to try and clear the air with MadDog so Weasel and I could hang out without their crap getting in the way. Blade just would have left MadDog blocked from the start if not for that.
Blade had just blocked MadDog the first time. Then we heard Weasel and MadDog were moving down here
I didn't know the extent of this whole ordeal until I saw the comments of the journals you linked. I thought that this was all just some passing drama that started with some guy whining about how he wasn't told of some free fanart that was done by Blade of a character that said whiner didn't even own. But after seeing that the two have had bad blood for well over two years now, it just makes it all the more saddening. WB really doesn't deserve to go through any of this crap.
That being said, I find MadDog's part in this to be extremely hillarious. I read most of his comments in the linked journals, and man, this guy just twists what he reads until they're the most obnoxious, falsely-proven comebacks he could come up with. I honestly caught myself snickering a couple of times due to how wrong he truly is, yet he still belives that he's in the right.
The fact that there are some people who are actually taking MD's side in all of this makes it that much worse. Stupidity at its finest, in my book.
I feel for Wolfblade. I didn't know the extent of this whole ordeal until I saw the comments of th
Geez man...I knew this stuff was bad, and I knew more than that this was stupid but...this goes way far beyond what I thought it was. I'm looking at this stuff, and although iI can't exactly say I'm impartial in this, since I don't know MD, and Wolfblade has been both a friend, as well as someone that I even look up to as what a intellectual person is.
And seeing somebody actually put him off-kilter like this pissees me off to no end. Okay, yeah, over time, I've seen MD's comments, and I never see it far enough in to notice the deep arguing. I see it just far enough to where it seems like debate. But, now that I'm actually looking over all this crap, it's driving me insane. WB does his best not to stir pots and piss people off. His journals are, and basically all journals are headed by 'For anybody that cares.' The main problem here, is that MD doesn't really care as much about the words said, as a way to play devil's advocate to argue with WB and keep coming to him and starting stuff.
It's as simple as this and could've all been solved if done this way. "Wolfblade and MadDog don't like each other. Wolfblade says something, and since MD doesn't like him, can just ignore his journals. He's blocked, and shouldn't even be watching him. But whenever a journal pops up, it has nothing to do with him simply because they have no communication with each other, and he has no need to create a dialog with him." Moreover, WB doesn't actively go to anything that MD says to strike up conversation with him, showing he has no interest in talking to him, and we all know WB isn't the type to simply ignore something said to him. Meaning this was pointless for him to start these arguments with him.
Moreover, on the situation of the art, again, it could've simply be solved as this. "Eh...I don't like WB did draw my character. But...y'know what? Whatever. He did this for WG...that's a nice gesture." instead of starting a whole stink about that. It's not avoidance, it's simply keeping issues and stress to an absolute minimum for both parties. Assuming any of this is truly bothering MD.
In the end, this stuff needs to end. Now. The guy has enough crap on his plate to have to deal with someone who, they have mutual dislike for each other, to have him breathing down his back to aim to try to twist his arm at every thing he says. It's pathetic, it's sad, and more than anything, it's freaking wrong.
Geez man...I knew this stuff was bad, and I knew more than that this was stupid but...this goes way
