He's been here a while. He's not a troll, just... very angry a lot of the time.

Basically everyone else knows when someone here is being an uncool loser and embarrassing themselves. I don't think we need moderation for something so, really, unimportant. I just wish page long conversations of the stuff didn't happen.

I never really did understand how moderation on this site works. Rage thread dissolves into personal attacks? Better close it & forbid making another. Someone does that time & time again? No need to say anything.

Last post I'm going to make on this, but these are some interesting points.

It's not even that which bothers me so much as the ambiguity. I hate having insults hurled at me & not knowing if I'll get in trouble for telling the person to go fornicate with a rake.

Yes, off topic, I know. I'm mainly clarifying that these are my general observations so nobody thinks I'm asking for the head of Twistedpuppet, or anything.

I was on here yesterday and soooo many people were pissed that they hadn't resolved the why of the operator, and I couldn't help but feel they'd missed the point.
I like to think of the Operator and the larger Slenderman character in general, as akin to a force of nature. Asking what his goals are is like asking what goal the rocks in an avalanche had in falling down the mountain or what motivation the rain had for soaking your shirt. It's something that just happens, if there is motivation for it, we'll never understand it. We can find bits and pieces over time explaining the effects, maybe even the generalities of a cause, but asking for motivation is applying human features to something that is anything but. Just thought I'd throw that in.

Ahhhh....it had to happen just one more time before the end, didn't it? I still wish the Pupmaster of Twisty Puppets could have found himself in an argument with that one inconsiderate Tribe Twelve fanboy Bartok at some point. The utter shitstorm would've been the most hilarious thing to ever come out of this site.

Moving on, I'm still not convinced that this is the final entry, but Trosephim apparently confirmed it according to a couple of random people on Tumblr, so I'll play along for now.

As an ending, 87 could work I suppose. I don't know why they felt the need to cut the footage when Tim entered his coughing fit, though. Alex was clearly wrong about the "source" and "infection" nonsense, and Tim knew it. There's no way in hell he killed Jessica. Why leave it ambiguous? I also wish there was one final twist at the end, like someone from ToTheArk still being alive or something along those lines. The confirmation that Alex was killing everyone as a husk to "feed" the Operator was cool, but it wasn't too mind-fucking or surprising, I guess? Jessica being rescued and kept safe by Brian and Tim wasn't too much of a twist, either, as TTA/Brian heavily hinted she was still alive with "She's still out there."

Just my two cents. Good conclusion, but I wish we could have gotten more development on certain things, such as TTA and the Ark, Alex's story about people being tortured and "stretched" in season 2 (I'd think this was an "origin story" for the Operator, but this theory was apparently shot down by Trosephim OOG at some point. Why even have Alex say it, then?), a BIT more insight in regards to the Operator and its abilities (why did it only appear at certain times? Why didn't it seem to be able to kill anyone on its own?), etc.

Good series; I'm proud I followed it, and I can't wait for the movie. Here's hoping Trosephim's next effort is just as creepy and awesome.

I think that the operator is a being or symbol of violence and its primary objective is to collect bodies. Thus alex killing all carriers, even if it was a legit thing to do, is fine to TO because it still produces bodies: that's why it helped Alex do it. Tim has dealt with it all his life and can cope as seen when he ignores it in one of the entries, but as violence becomes necessary it comes stronger. Still, why did TO start infecting the MH crew and not everyone Tim ever met? Cameras possibly?
