An issue dealing w/ NRS Producer Shaun Himmerick & his Twitter Acct.

Do not touch me again.
Well I mean, the report button is there for a reason.

I mean if I was to start threatening to kill people's families on TYM would you prefer that people report me or would you say "don't worry guys, just block him!"
My problem is not with reporting, but making a thread about it encouraging people to report it. If I had made a thread with screenshots of James' posts and links to encourage people to hit the report button on every threatening post he's made to me, I have no doubt it my mind that the mods would close it immediately. And they should! But honestly this is the same thing. If Tim wanted to encourage people to report this dude, he could have done it on his own Twitter account for his followers instead of trying to round up an army on TYM to help.

@Tim Static, I disagree that this is a bigger issue than an issue between 2 people. In fact, that's *all* it was until people started making a big deal out of it. The protocol is hit the report button, don't feed the trolls, and move on. You have effectively given this person exactly what they wanted.

Or, even better, people could not be so easily offended by "threats" that are obviously empty, poorly written, and took less than 10 seconds of thought.
The guy made it pretty clear that anything said to him involving anything other than his family wouldn't have bothered him. Bringing someone's family into it, empty or not, is crossing a line.

Boohoo? Block him, move on. there is no need to turn a video game community into a personal army. This is ridiculous.

Well done, TYM.
Yeah and I think twitter is or has changed their tos it's not that easy I think to make a new twitter due to a phone number verification. I could be wrong but I know they are working on things. Also Shaun needs a blue check they now get more options for being verified on twitter should he stay which I hope he does.

Considering you were asking people to murder @jamessmk on a stream chat, the fact your even trying to engage in this conversation is absolutely ridiculous. Your about the equivalent of this asshat who threatened Shaun. Things you do on the internet will come back to bite your ass. I'm not condoning what James did or said. I wish he chose to say what he did in another arena but it is what it is, but to even suggest you didn't deserve is fucking absurd.

PS- and I do have proof of you doing what I said you did so don't even try to deny it.

Yep. When you go to his page, it says it no longer exists.

@Tim Static
It seems to have been deleted.....i don't think Twitter does that tho. He must have deleted it.

Oh well. It isn't a victory until Shaun decides to stay. I mean, we can't make him, but i was determined to show him the majority of us love him & were grateful for the time he took to share info & answer questions when in fact, he didn't have to do any of that.

PS that proof was fabricated because I never asked anyone to murder anybody. Post it here and stop being ridiculous.

EDIT: nevermind; james showed me when i said it lol:

I stay on the internet more than i should, and there is a bunch of crazy stuff i see from time to time, but, as much stupidity i see, i can never get used because every time you end up seeing something more insane than before.

This guy should be banned at least, what an idiot.

So... TYM took a nobody, made him a somebody (for a day, at least), and now gave this dumbass a reason to have a "real" vendetta against the "victim". The dick-riding is real, lol. Shaun is a grown man and shame on most of you for treating him as any less than that. A man handles his own problems, and this "assault" was never one to begin with. Internet assholes are new? It comes with the territory, and the paycheck.

Now, can we quit giving this kid airtime? Thanks.

If you are implying this is "freedom of speech", this would actually fall under unprotected speech as it is what the supreme court would refer to as "Fighting Words".

Dude could get arrested and it would be completely constitutional.

I hope this guy goes to Ferguson, strong arms a store clerk and robs some cigars then tries to take a cops gun when stopped then gets shot dead. We don't need garbage like this in the world.

woahhh there. I wish death upon no fuck boi. But that guy was just that, a fuck boi. The very definition of social reject, that has to threaten over a video game of all things. Anyways, case shut boys!
Oh my bad, I guess it's ok he threatened to go to his house and rape his wife. I hope he does try that and finds a bullet to greet him at the door.

No I'm talking about people who say that what you said are no big deal and to block and move on or then you should not be on Twitter... Free speech as you know does not cover verbal assault or threats... To do nothing when there is a clear path to and saying no big deal Internet... Is saying not close enough for me to care yet... If everyone thinks in years if not stopped that it will move offline along with a complacent attitude towards is fooling themselves...

Plus on block.


To quote a rapper that I don't even listen to:



Seriously, who the fuck cares? It's the internet, people talk shit. Ignore them, they're strangers.

It's not like someone is actually at your doorstep threatening you, just some dickhead typing stuff beyond a keyboard.
