Aren't we well into the time frame of let it go already? What does it look like if we suddenly show up decrying something that happened years ago? Yeah, we got our feelings hurt and it was a sucky move, but tvtropes has gotten well enough established on its own that going in to complain strikes me as very dog in the mangerish.
Gabriel: Are you trying to destroy this family? Simon: I didn't realize it would be so easy.

On the other hand, because I'm on a global team, I'm learning all kinds of new words for porn today.

Weirdly, I just told the tvtropes story last weekend to a rl friend. I was surprised by how much heat I still have over it, but I'm with Connie about bringing it up over there.
I wouldn't judge anyone for doing so, but it would be bad for my soul to take up that charge. In my mind, it is the different between being right (which anyone complaining would legitimately be) and being successful (as in not feeding the troll).
Honestly, I wouldn't want to give him the satisfaction of thinking that we are thinking about him at all.

I am an Olympic gold medalist in holding a grudge. So I'm good with not letting it go. I'm also not going to go decry that liar other places on the internet, because I am also lazy. Wrathful and lazy.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."
Yeah, I'm a big fan of not letting it go.

I agree that TVTropes is its own established thing now, so I don't say anything (usually) when it's brought up. But I'm also not going to pretend like he wasn't shitty to us or it wasn't cruel.

Or Spartacus. I really need to set up a calendar alert to remind me who I'm supposed to be on which days.

No one's saying you have to stop being pissed. Going over into his yard and kicked up a fuss, though, is a separate matter.

Connie, to give my own perspective on not letting it go: he toyed with the good will and affection of my friends and myself, for what seems to be his own entertainment. He upset people and caused them to grieve for no reason. He was deliberately deceitful and unkind, and those are things I do not forgive.
Am I ranting about this in (other) public spaces online? No. But if tvtropes comes up in conversation with friends, I do explain why I don't visit or support that site.
