((This right here. My characters are independent from my own thoughts. If I didn't really like someone, regardless of what a character says, I would've just blocked them and moved on. Thus, Tyranoth, don't take something that was never meant to be serious seriously. I can't believe I have to say that my characters are not me, and do not necessarily reflect upon my personal opinions/thoughts. Any moment I would have them do so, would be entirely OOC.))

CS - A merriam webster definition of Ragebaiting for you

Rage-bait (also spelled as ragebait and rage bait) is content (usually, but not always, found online) that tries to provoke anger or outrage, as a means of gaining attention or making money. The word is also used as a verb (“to make intentionally provocative or inflammatory statements”).

Rage-bait often refers to inflammatory content posted online for the purpose of gaining ad revenue through clicks, but it can also refer to trolling behavior, in which someone says or posts something offensive simply for the enjoyment of eliciting a strong reaction.

The issue here is, I do not wish to interact or write with Ace yet they insist on implicating and slandering my characters outside that context, I do infact find that behavior a bit inflammatory because what other purpose does it serve to constantly critique and make passive-aggressive, mocking or wholly aggressive remarks to another writer's character when they have made it explicit that they have no interest in roleplaying or writing with you.

I think it's in bad taste, especially when the lines between OOC and IC are so often blurred as is the case in the aforementioned statement, we all value our characters and write within the context of our own universes. I could understand if we had some IC interaction or anything, but what other purpose could talking about someone's character serve outside that context.

Allow me to reiterate, If you are not actively writing or roleplaying with someone, and that person has made it explicit that they do not want to write, interact or roleplay with you. What purpose does it serve to talk about, force interactions with or mention their character?

That's my dilemma point - I figured I'd take this up with Ace as an appeal to reason, out of courtesy, but beyond that it's a block and once you're blocked and you're still slandering another person's character then wouldn't you say there's atleast some malicious motive involved. Needless to say, I believe Ace is a reasonable user and will come to acknowledge and respect another person's boundaries.

And to reiterate my boundary, If we are not actively writing, interacting or roleplaying, please refrain from talking about my characters.

All i'm saying is, if we're not writing or roleplaying, please don't talk about my characters IC/OOC.

((I'd also like to take the time to mention you've insulted my characters in character too, so I'm not exactly sure why you're coming at me when I never tried to call you out about something that means very little in a public RP. Yeah, folks say stuff, but that's just how it goes. I don't really see the problem of characters bashing one another in character. If I had a problem, I would've brought it up by now, Tyranoth. That's all I got to say about it.))

Agreed Ace, and I'd like to apologize for my part in doing so, moving forward I'd like to change that for myself all the same. I think insulting each other's character's without precedent is sort of meaningless on a site meant to foster roleplay and writing first. I will definitely not be bringing up your characters or you moving forward from this point but I wanted to address this in the here and now.

I would respect and honor your boundaries if you did bring up a problem, and I am bringing this up to you right now. I do see this as a problem and I would prefer that if we're not writing, roleplaying or interacting in a direct capacity that we do not bring each other's characters up. That's all i'm respectfully asking for. I'm all for expressing oneself or banter provided the medium of expression is mutually agreed on.

but I don't want to interact with you Ace, I do not want to write with you or roleplay with you in any way or form, consider this a very humble request from another user, please, do not bring up or talk about my characters when we have no basis for interaction going.
