The Kris vs Ben Thing

I am posting to set the record straight on this whole situation, as many of you forgot or stopped caring about this debate, but it bothers me people I've considered friends for years won't take my word for it. 

Yes, I confessed to a lot of things I had done while on chatango, like pretending my account was hacked to get someone banned, or making fake accounts to troll as part of the "0minization." I would also act just really edgy, argue a lot when I was bored or wanted to get a rise out of someone and none of that was okay. I'd even bully people or try to troll them just because I was upset and wanted them to feel the same way. It was all shitty and stuff I have tried to learn and move away from.

However, and I know I've said this a million times by now, I did not pretend to Ben or create that whole character, and I say that in the most honest, sincere way I can. Maybe my words or honesty don't mean much to you because of the questionable and terrible things I've done, and I understand why. I wouldn't really expect anything truthful from me either. Many of you have said that I confessed to it before, but I really don't remember that and if I ever did say that I was Ben it was probably because I was tired of arguing about it and wanted people to shut up. 

I am not sure who I angered or wronged to the point that someone wanted to impersonate me and anger me, but given how many people I pissed off back then it doesn't surprise me either. It just kind of hurts that you as my friends won't believe me when I'm actually being real and trying to be honest with you about the situation. Again, I would not have had a reason to to impersonate and argue with myself and frankly don't see why anyone would go out of their way to do it. It just sounds crazy and ultimately pointless. Anyhow, I've probably rambled on about this for too long now and will stop talking about it. This whole thing was years ago and nobody really gives a shit anymore besides me, so maybe i just need to move on regardless of if people think I did this or not. That Ben person is long gone, or maybe still chats amongst us and I just never found out. Whatever the situation is, I'm over it and am done with this crap. Thanks for reading.

It's not a huge deal whether you are Ben or not, Chris. You don't need to make this into a huge trust issue. It's not like we're cutting ties with you over it or anything. I think the more you desperately try to prove you're not Ben the more likely people will become suspicious of you being him so just ignore it, it really doesn't impact you whatsoever.

Ben was a character I would occasionally play whenever I was bored during my daily commutes. Evading bans was easy due to mobile internet frequently changing IP addresses. I didn't think my actions would have jeopardized your relationship with certain people, and for that I'm sorry, Lank.

This is an interesting development for sure...wait, why the hell did Chris post this in the Yugioh subforum?

This still doesn't explain how Ben managed to hack Chris’ Chatango account.
