I mean "them" IS us, 90% of that thread's former population is now here and makes around 50-70% of this forum's active user base, we kept tolerating nolan even here, the thing is Nolan kinda got doxed in the months preceding our move to this place, and a lot of things were learned about him then that made people less and less tolerant.
We tried being nice to him in the beginning but he completely ignored everyone who has telling him that oversharing his private info was a really bad idea, then he had a massive spergout and several arguments with others when he was dug into (I think it was
@uquusquad who did it), let's just say that goodwill for him was waning even back then.
When this place was made he just kept getting worse and played the victim more and more, the multiple spergouts shared in this very thread basically sealed his rep with many of us.
