I mentioned having backed up some private messages Sigvatr had sent me on doomworld forums a while back in the revive one mapper thread, and well... I found them.
I didn't keep what exactly what they were responding to but many of them read like self-contained blogs anyway. I didn't keep timestamps for all of them either but I do know the majority of these conversations were between 2011 and 2012. It's been over 10 years now and there's nothing remarkably 'private' about them so I figured I would share.
More to follow.

I've never really cared much for my reputation. In fact, a lot of the shocking and offensive things I have done in my life are part of an experiment I have assigned myself. Most people dismiss it as ego tripping but I've always felt that I have an unavoidable destiny to significantly alter the development of human society and creative expression through my technology I am developing. The predictions I am making about the incoming paradigm shift in understanding of abstract human concepts such as creativity and human identity sound incredibly far fetched and perhaps even terrifying, but development of my technology has progressed at the pace I anticipated when I began the project. I still have decades of work to do to initialize the paradigm shift, but the implications of human creative expression being made redundant to machines are die. The entertainment industries and traditional institutions of creative expression and art will collapse due to the simple fact that a person in their own home can consume machine created media indistinguishable from human creative expression, or perhaps even superior to.
I like to joke about being an evil supervillain who desires to cripple humanity's identity and spirit by bringing about the uprising of the superior machine race, but that's just me trying to digest the potential implications of my life's work with good humour. I might raise many difficult questions to ask and answer for humanity in its present state, but the pain will be temporarily necessary to unlock this paradigm shift's true, hidden potential, which is the merger of the strengths of human beings and our technology. Superior machine creativity, ingenuity and problem solving ability is not a threat to humanity's identity and spirit; but only by accepting the redundancy of fallacious human self-understanding and appreciation will humanity be able to see the wisdom in transhumanism.
Anyway back to my experiment. I have always firmly felt that my ideas, inspiration and ability to thrive in life are in no way whatsoever related to my reputation. With that in mind, I intentionally decided to, with full force of will, annihilate any prospects of having an even acceptable quality reputation. I know (and knew prior to embarking on this venture) from experience that many people in both the real world and the internet will never do business with or in any way whatsoever associate with me. But I don't care. My certainty and conviction in my destiny is impervious to petty human suspicion and ill-will. Despite the fact that many people I meet are predisposed to despise me based on my reputation, I still work myself to the point of exhaustion on my life's work, and not from a misplaced sense of duty or work ethic, but from my impervious conviction in my destiny and enthusiasm for what I do each and every day.
That is why I created electric retard, Muslim Massacre, the Competitive Spree Killing Organization, Keyboard Goop and other less notable works of shock art and self-abuse. By annihilating my reputation and any chance of working a white-collar job, my will to achieve my destiny became stronger. I once doubted whether or not I could achieve what I have in mind for humanity's evolution, but by asserting my flagrant disdain for society's conspiracy to champion weakness, fear, mediocrity and externally generated esteem as acceptable, I feel a sense of overwhelming power and great potential.
You are one of the few people who doesn't think I'm crazy, I think. I believe most people think that I am insane simply because my behaviour and dialogue is confusing, but I can with complete certainty say that every action and decision I make is purposeful. Even eating my own cum on the internet.
