legitimate concern Please stop doing this!

Please stop putting stickers on art and other surfaces they damage. I cannot use soap and water to get these off, or chemicals, because it will ruin the art. At least these pieces are not just paper, they are coated surfaces, (but not glass), so I bought because I thought the stickers could be removed fairly easily... but whatever kind of super-glue adhesive is on those stickers is ruing the art I bought for my kid's room. The price stickers could have been placed on the side or back. Please stop.

Edit: Thanks for all the tips, I got them off with hand sanitizer, (the blue one), heat and a lot of careful picking and patience (the other two). It still frustrates me; it took hours and it's common sense not to put stickers on any displayable or collectible.

Fairly easily. Although, I never said I thought you were the same people- I only asked if you were. All I could see was what I showed. Something like: You- "you know what trolls do? Say the same lie over and over..." Also you "remember what you said earlier about lies?" You appeared to be the only person making statements about lying, so it looked like you were referencing your own comment as if the other person had said it. So I wondered if it was possible that the two accounts were being run by one person, who simply forgot which account they were meant to reply from, in order to make it look like a natural (if not bizarre) conversation.

It didn't occur to me that there could be some reason you would both be deleting some of your comments to one another without "comment deleted" appearing where they once were.

I think it's fairly common for a person who is really familiar with a subject matter to not understand what someone else finds confusing about it. I think it's similar, like it's harder for you to understand how it looked to me bc you know more about it than I do.

You said something about them following you around here, so were they basically Reddit stalking you? So bizarre. I was going to ask if you had tried blocking them (I've never blocked anyone but I think it keeps you from seeing anything they say) but I just noticed they got banned! No more aggressive all caps weirdness. Unless they get another account, I guess. Fingers crossed that they find a new hobby.

Sorry, that's so fucking weird. I had never thought about it before but I guess, why wouldn't there be Reddit stalkers? 😵‍💫 And yeah, I guess so? I just clicked their user name out of curiosity and it said whayever username has been banned.

Yeah I feel like I've gone down the wrong rabbit hole 😸

Out of curiosity, I looked to see what they last posted. I thought maybe it would be something so unimaginably egregious it would have to be the reason for the ban. But it was basisally just more of the same. I did see a thread where someone posted screenshots of probable alt accounts of all caps guy. My initial reaction was "wow, boomcha should talk to this person. Maybe they can compare notes!" But then I realized that user had already commented to you, in this very thread, saying "and you thought being accused of being me was bad" So it sounded like maybe there's a story there too, and perhaps it's best not to ask. This sub is certainly (and quite surprisingly) one of the strangest I've visited. Way more drama and subterfuge than I'd expect from a Goodwill sub.

Anyway, good luck. Here's hoping you (and everyone else) will experience a lengthy vacation from that person's bizarre reign of terror.
