when Karl was dealing with depression from a week ban from the MFFA Discord server, I had to cheer him up when we used to be in speaking terms because as much as he was difficult to deal with, we cared about his wellbeing and we wanted him to feel welcome when he returns to the server. Karl's mood seemed to have improved after having told him this, and it seemed so when he appeared on the server again.
a few days later, Karl asked me to edit a MA beatdown video of his that consists of over 450 of his recordings. the process of having to put together this amount of MUGEN recordings was a task that sounded so absurd I had to politely turn him down which Karl complied. that's when a few months have passed and he pestered me to edit another MUGEN video for him, this time being a combo compilation. like I did with his last request, I told him no. that's when Karl went and berated me for being "lazy" to work on a project he could've easily done himself. I got tired of dealing with his whining so I went and blocked him.
I later discussed this incident with an admin who I talk to frequently and he said was willing to help Karl with accessing better video editing software which he did and I couldn't thank him enough for that. I started talking to Karl again and he apologised for the incident and we eventually patched things up.
just when Karl's attitude was improving, he lashed out at me via PM over something trivial as me going "does it matter" over a screenshot of a tweet. lashing out at people over minor things was a common thing for him, a thing that he kept on doing despite being warned countless times not to do so. at this point his attitude towards me got unbearable so I blocked him for good this time. however, this brought him to pester an admin friend of mine who I mentioned earlier. Karl would pester him on a weekly basis which eventually lead to an intervention. while me and Karl were in better terms after that, I still feel uncomfortable talking to him privately after all the verbal abuse I had to sit through.
Karl if you happen to see this, I want you to understand that we have been patient with you and we have tried our damnedest to get you to change for the better.
remember, you forced our hand into this.
