Lit-related *Urban Myths* 👀 *Real* [crazy] Stories* & *Conspiracy Theories*

[Diosax]

yup. I think you totally aren't blowing the right person.

Oh I have . Quite a bit. And you did. I forgot.

Lol

 

[SassySheDevil]

speaking of all this, wasn't there a dude who fake died a couple years back? Anyone know the story?

Troubledone/LanceGibs

 

[Sinstories]

Yes, I had to do that. And then they came out with a second circular antenna for UHF stations. With that and the oricinal rabbit ears, you could get 5 channels!

We had 6...3 plus 2 independent and PBS. You are also old if you remember getting the TV guide out of the Sunday paper each week so you knew.what was on. Channel surfing didn't exist because there were only 6 channels and you had to get up and go to the TV to change them, plus often adjust the antenna.

(Does admitting we watched TV before DVR mean we are old? AFAF )


Lol, it’s okay youngin’.

No. If you call it a "TV set", then you're fucking old.

There are many people that know the story much better than I do. I blocked them (and his many alts) after a really rude comment he made to me after I posted a picture. I know that @barefootgirl69 knows the story pretty well. But I believe it was as troubled one he "died" and eventually popped back up as Lance gibs. It was Black Cashmere that came on to say she had heard he'd died. But this is one of the many reasons why so many on lit hate him.

And also he's just creepy as fuck.

haha that too.

I have heard things about him. All bad.

Idk details though

 

[mynameisben]

I think anyone who uses alts or comes back from the dead has serious mental problems. That's just my 2 cents.

I'd just say he is a sad case, clearly not okay and, to repeat myself, creepy as fuck. In the end the story is not that interesting. He pretended to die. People's feelings were hurt. There was a lot of drama. He wouldn't take the hint to leave people alone and not post where he was unwelcome

Troubledone/LanceGibs

He did? Ravi?!?!

 

[SassySheDevil]

Yet another alt

He took an interest with me a couple of months ago and DMed me. He took the hint really quick. I didn't even have to tell him to fuck off. But my responses were obvious. I was impressed he understood and stopped messaging me tbh.

That beast!

I missed the dying part of his transitions. Wow.

 

[SassySheDevil]

It was quite a few years ago now. I remember it being a pretty big thing at the time though. As Cascadia said. Several got hurt in the process. Mostly those who wanted to believe there was good in him.

Ben

Agreed.

I will say that I would prefer people commit lit suicide as opposed to IRL suicide.

I think he messages every single new women to the board.
He is not particularly persistent in PMs in my experience, except he would not take no for an answer. That was years ago, so maybe he takes a hint better. I have never bothered to block him. Just ignore his posts/avoid

 

[hotoldrguy]

so

weird you cannot get it to work...unless you are trying to make a cockatar.

There are as many reasons people do alts as people who do them. Many are fucked up reasons and difficult to understand. the fake dying thig is pretty unforgivable tbh tho

After a disturbing incident, I told him it was better if he didn’t message me anymore and in fairness, he has respected that

I thought it was bc my excellent standoffish responses

so

Are you @UnchainedWordist ?
You can send it to the Cockatar Committee and they can let you know it it'll get approved

We had a green section that came out in the local paper that had the listing of what was on.
