Thought I'd share this, as I was reminded of it by someone else a bit earlier, and I think it most aptly demonstrates Hirtes' entire relationship with furries and furry over his lifetime. Behold as he joins an artist's stream, tries to be buddy-buddy with him, gets clingy, dismisses problems much bigger than his own as inconsequential because they didn't happen to him, gets confrontational, and basically in the course of an hour takes an artist from mildly friendly and even sort of standing up for him to kick-banning him and cutting off all contact.
BE WARNED, VERY TL;DR2:40 AM MH: Hi Shig. U get my email yet?
2:41 AM shigoto: ..email?
2:42 AM MH: yeah. I sent you an email earlier today.
2:43 AM MH: It's possible that it didn't reach you. Web mail has been getting glitchy lately.
2:44 AM shigoto: i dont check my email every day
2:44 AM MH: ah
2:44 AM MH: didnt know that
2:44 AM MH: srry
2:45 AM shigoto: its not my main email
2:45 AM MH: the one at sbcglobal?
2:47 AM MH: Amyways, was just wanting to thank you for your comment earlier
2:48 AM MH: and no, you don't have any gaids.
2:49 AM shigoto: what coment?
2:49 AM shigoto: eh yea. like alot of people i use several emails
2:50 AM shigoto: that one happens to be linked to my paypal among other things.
2:50 AM MH: Well, kinda awkward to talk into that much detail here on a public channel
2:50 AM shigoto: you mean the dragoneer thing?
2:50 AM MH: ya
2:51 AM joykill: wow
2:51 AM joykill: you are my hero
2:51 AM joykill: this is fan flipping tsastic
2:52 AM MH: Shig is everyone's hero
2:52 AM shigoto: huh?
2:52 AM shigoto: hero?
2:53 AM MH: art hero
2:53 AM joykill: yeah art hero
2:53 AM MH: btw, can i send you one more email to your sbcglobal address, and you let me know your more main one, please? When youre ready for commissions again, I'd like to have a chance to get ina slot before it was too late.
2:55 AM MH: Ok. I just mailed it out right now.
2:57 AM shigoto: sorry cant do that.
2:58 AM MH: cant do what
2:58 AM MH: so, how can I get in touch with you?
2:59 AM joykill: MH your coming off a tab bit creepy
3:00 AM MH: this doesnt involve you.
3:00 AM joykill: oh i know. that's what happened when you state your stuff on a place where everyonee can see it
3:00 AM MH: I'm not saying it in a rude way. it's justa fact.
3:00 AM shigoto: i wish you could see me rubbing my brow right now.
3:01 AM MH: ?
3:01 AM shigoto: im a nice guy. i give everyone respect till they give me reasion not to themselfs.
3:01 AM MH: so, what did i do?
3:02 AM shigoto: last time you were in my stream man you were rather disrespectful just saying.
3:02 AM MH: sigh.
3:02 AM MH: cant get a break from anyone.
3:03 AM shigoto: sigh..you were pretty harsh on joykill there to man
3:03 AM MH: you make it really, really hard to get in touch with you. What else am I supposed to do?
3:03 AM MH: and, he called me "creepy". that was uncalled for.
3:03 AM MH: that pushes my button
3:03 AM shigoto: i would say ignor his comment
3:04 AM MH: you know what kind of week I've been having
3:04 AM joykill: sorry Shigoto i wasn't trying to ruin peoples nights
3:04 AM shigoto: mmn...i wonder if it was as bad as the week i lost my house
3:04 AM shigoto: i know how tough shit can get man trust me.
3:04 AM MH: did you get a new one?
3:04 AM shigoto: no
3:04 AM shigoto: i have to live with my mother
3:04 AM MH: I didnt know that
3:04 AM shigoto: im buming off her and her husband
3:05 AM joykill: that sucks
3:05 AM shigoto: indeed. but i just roll with it.
3:05 AM MH: Ive got basement-dwelling man-children calling up my phone day and night. had to turn off the ringer just to get some peace & quiet
3:05 AM joykill: if i lost my place i'd be screwed. mom's dead and dad is a crack head
3:05 AM shigoto: gotta cope. gotta accept my situation and make the best of it.
3:06 AM MH: I really wish i could talk with you over email or MSM, but this was the only place i could reach you
3:06 AM joykill: this is why your my hero
3:06 AM MH: sorry, just that talking here is awkward and causing stress
3:06 AM joykill: what about FA?
3:06 AM shigoto: he was banned i think
3:06 AM joykill: for harassing people?
3:06 AM MH: no
3:07 AM MH: I'm right here, dude
3:07 AM shigoto: theres a whole journal about it on dragoneer's page.
3:07 AM joykill: wow i just read what i posted...geez i'm a dick sorry
3:07 AM MH: np. sorry. just extra sensitive lately. freakin trolls have been merciless
3:08 AM shigoto: says why dragoneer saw reason to ban him. considering i dont think dragoneer makes a journal about each person he bans
3:08 AM MH: they seem to think that by being furs, the stuff they do is legal
3:08 AM MH: Dragoneer bans people over things that have notjing to even do with FA
3:09 AM MH: One fur went on a talk show. Furries got emo. Drag banned her. wtf?
3:09 AM joykill: MH: they seem to think that by being furs, the stuff they do is legal....huh?
3:09 AM shigoto: well...if you were using fa as a medium to commission artist and then did any of the stuff you were accused of doing as the owner of FA it is within his legal rights to do so to "protect" the users
3:10 AM shigoto: not picking sides
3:10 AM MH: well, stalking & harrassment. they think it's lulzy. If an ex-BF was doing that same stuff to his ex-GF, he'd have the cops at his door
3:10 AM MH: I think Shig can at least testify that I've never done any of that stuff to him
3:11 AM MH: Cuz that is the truth, right?
3:11 AM MH: Thats not picking any side. Thats just saying the truth from your POV
3:12 AM shigoto: i wouldnt read to deeply into the comment i made on dragoneer's journal
3:12 AM MH: So, what should I read it as?
3:12 AM MH: friend or foe?
3:13 AM joykill: why does it to be so black and white?
3:13 AM joykill: friend or foe? that's making a person choose a side
3:14 AM shigoto: is what i was thinking
3:14 AM joykill: i'm a meh kinda guy\
3:14 AM MH: well, I cant read minds. I hate it when ppl say one thing and then say another when they think youre not around
3:14 AM shigoto: it was a comment i made to make to be honest.
3:14 AM MH: if you had the sort of crud Ive had lately, you'd be wanting to figure out if you had any friends in the first place, bud
3:15 AM joykill: friends off the internet? that was your first mistake
3:15 AM shigoto: okay..im gonna say this at the risk of sounding like a MASSIVE douche bag
3:15 AM MH: Doesnt help when Dragoneer uses his MASSIVE pulpit to drag my name thru the mud, and I cant even log on there to defend myself. Having to watch all these a-holes I've never even heard of before detest me.
3:16 AM MH: so yeah, it can be a bit of a skullfuck
3:17 AM MH: forgive me for the venting. a LOT of stress boiling inside my guts
3:17 AM shigoto: i dont really know you man. I traded messages with you a handfull of times while working on your commission. It was a buisness transaction which i treated you with respect as is professional
3:17 AM joykill: you care what people think of you that you never met or ever will? why? it's the Flipping internet. take it all with a grain of salt
3:18 AM MH: but when I'm being smeared, I'm on my own, huh?
3:18 AM joykill: yeah MH
3:18 AM shigoto: dude..you were on your own before that happened. I didnt know about it till you told me about it
3:18 AM MH: I really, REALLY wish we could be discussing this over private channels
3:19 AM joykill: no one should have to hold your hand cause you feel your under attack
3:19 AM shigoto: i probably would have gone on oblivious to the "smear" campain for another 2-3 months
3:19 AM shigoto: alright man fin. ill email you
3:19 AM MH: Im sorry, but this is hella-awkward for me.
3:20 AM MH: youre treated like crap from all sides, and even your friends do nothing. Makes you feel like one person ina sea of six billion assholes.
3:21 AM MH: May you never be shoved into the Hell I'm facing, even if it may finally give you a clue as to what it's like
3:22 AM Tsurai666: I'll just sit here and be clueless.
3:23 AM shigoto: thats for the best dude. for serious
3:23 AM joykill: i wish i was Tsu
3:23 AM Tsurai666: Do you? That's fairly bold being that you don't know me~
3:23 AM MH: sigh. every move I make is the wrong one.

3:24 AM Tsurai666: Or are you mentioning to the phrase "Ignorance is bliss"?
3:24 AM joykill: oh teehee i meant to say i wish i was clueless as well
3:24 AM joykill: although i'm sure your awesome
3:24 AM Tsurai666: Damn right
3:24 AM Tsurai666: lol
3:25 AM MH: Well, I can see that no one gives a ***.
3:25 AM Tsurai666: I'm just buzzed... so I don't really mean anything I say
3:25 AM Tsurai666: If I knew what you were saying, I'd might.
3:26 AM shigoto: yus
3:26 AM shigoto: i guess i finished this drawing
3:26 AM MH: shig does,a nd he still doesnt give a ***
3:26 AM joykill: awesome pic
3:26 AM shigoto: do you know why i dont give a shit now?
3:26 AM shigoto: your shoving it in my face.
3:26 AM MH: oh, Im sure youre eager to tell everyone
3:27 AM joykill: cause he's a emo man child?
3:27 AM Tsurai666: hehe
3:27 AM shigoto: that to
3:27 AM MH: try dealing with the nonstop harrassment calls.
3:27 AM MH: day and night
3:27 AM shigoto: i listen to linkin park
3:27 AM MH: *** no no bounds
3:27 AM joykill: seem to be happening right now
3:27 AM shigoto: change your phone number
3:27 AM MH: got the money?
3:27 AM MH: I sure dont
3:27 AM joykill: i do
3:28 AM shigoto: then how do you have a phone
3:28 AM shigoto: or internet
3:28 AM joykill: mother pays for it?
3:28 AM MH: after the bills are paid, thats it
3:28 AM MH: ok JK, now youre being a sit
3:28 AM MH: a ***
3:28 AM shigoto: please dont jump in joy
3:28 AM joykill: and you ruined a perfectly goot stream with drama no one but you cares for
3:29 AM shigoto: not like that. im not trying to bellitle him.
3:29 AM joykill: wow can't spell tonight
3:29 AM MH: uh huh. I think I said HOW many times how i tried to reach him in other means?
3:29 AM shigoto: you emailed me twice..today
3:29 AM MH: you guys have NO clue what sort of BS I am enduring right now.
3:29 AM shigoto: i missed the email
3:29 AM MH: not the slightest inkling of the ***
3:29 AM shigoto: ok dude and im sorry but i dont want to know now
3:30 AM Tsurai666: Seriously. This is getting a bit much now.
3:30 AM joykill: are you done for tonight Shigoto?
3:30 AM shigoto: im gonna politetly ask you not to bring it into my streams again
3:30 AM MH: getting smeared by some assholes with axe to grind, and server to wage their war from
3:30 AM MH: you get slamemd left and right for several weeks and lets see how YOU hold up, ***!
3:31 AM shigoto: if you do i will kick you from the chat without warning. Your welcome to watch and chat. But if you start up about this drama again i wont give a warning
3:31 AM shigoto: i think im being fair.
3:31 AM MH: whatever.
3:31 AM shigoto: last time i asked you to stop you basicly said "why no one is watching right now anyhow"
3:31 AM MH: Not you, so you dont care
3:33 AM MH: wish I knew that several months ago
3:34 AM shigoto: anyhow. Yea i think im done for the night. I dont have anything else to work on guys
3:34 AM joykill: well thanks again
3:34 AM shigoto: this is pretty much done.
nt come here to make drama. I think i said several times that i wanted to take it to private chat, but what option did I have?
3:35 AM MH: If this was my only way to reach the guy, so be it.
3:36 AM MH: So, go back to lulz and yak about what I did here. I'm sure the basement dwellers will eat that shitt up
3:36 AM joykill: please MH let it go
3:36 AM Tsurai666: Aww.
3:36 AM MH has been banned by shigoto.
3:36 AM shigoto cleared messages from user MH.
3:36 AM joykill: let it all go. start again new
3:36 AM Tsurai666: Oh wow
3:36 AM shigoto: told him i was going to
