Welcome to a collection of Collete’s finest overreactions, petty schemes, and self-inflicted meltdowns. Here you’ll see a person who repeatedly blows the smallest things out of proportion, twists facts to his favor, and can’t handle even minor corrections. Browse screenshots and posts here to observe, chuckle, and marvel at just how consistently over-the-top his behavior is.
Disclaimer #1: This thread is not intended as a complaint or a call for sympathy/aid. I’m here simply to share and observe the spectacle—enjoying Torn while witnessing Collete’s own dramatics unfold.
Disclaimer #2: This thread is not intended to spread negativity toward Collete, but rather to wholeheartedly enjoy and appreciate the spectacle of his tantrums.

Enjoy!

Context (as ridiculous as it is):
While chatting in global chat, Collete wrote:
"I don't discriminate, all levels are fair game if they stupid, mouthy, begging or have sticks up there arses"
I took a moment and corrected him:
"their, Collete"*
Then LexiBird tried to correct me #1, claiming that “their” wasn’t correct—of course, they failed miserably.
LexiBird tried to correct me #2, arguing that I’d misspelled my nickname (which is absurd, because a nickname can literally be anything, like 492jiojasdij).
Both of them decided to double down, even though they had no ground to stand on.
After that, Collete started threatening me, saying he knew my faction leader and could bully me at will without consequences.
I left my faction as a result (I was probably going to be kicked anyway, for 'creating drama', which correcting someone's grammar apparently is).
I divorced my spouse, because of the constant TP & Stink bombs.
And now we are here.
Frequently Asked Questions:
Q: Why am I sharing this story?
A: Because the laughter I’ve had over the past few days feels too good to keep to myself. If even one other person can share in that amusement and laugh at his meltdowns, then it’s more than worth telling.
Q: Why would you pick a fight with Collette?
A: I’m a new player and have no idea who is who. Even if I did, status in a browser game holds no weight for me—everyone is equal in my eyes, and ego is meaningless.
Q: Why are you still engaging? Isn’t this petty?
A: My main focus in Torn isn’t climbing the ranks anymore. The real entertainment comes from observing Collete’s ongoing meltdown.
Q: Didn’t this all start because of him?
A: Let’s just say I made a small correction. What followed was Collete deciding to act tough, claiming connections and trying to intimidate me. That behavior only made this more interesting to watch.
Q: Aren’t you escalating things by continuing?
A: Not really. I’m simply documenting, sharing, and enjoying the show. The escalation is all on Collete’s side.
Q: Are you angry or malicious toward Collete?
A: Absolutely not. This isn’t about anger or grudges—it’s just Torn being Torn. Some players grind stats, some chase ranks, and I get my fun by enjoying Collete’s antics. We’re all playing the same game, just in different ways.
Q: Are you looking for revenge or help?
A: Absolutely not. I’m here to play Torn as usual—this thread exists so anyone can observe Collete in his natural habitat, behaving exactly like the wild animal he is.
Q: When will you restart your account?
A: Never. At this stage, I’m enjoying Torn in my own way, and I have no intention of resetting or chasing a different path. This is the game for me right now, and I’m perfectly content with that.
