Hey that’s demeaning to people who are 4 years old.

Here comes the cancel

Isn’t the difference between the two scenarios “foreseeable risk” on the part of the victim? At least in terms of civil litigation.

Fear-based motivation is LAZY and psychologically damaging.

Powerful and effective in accomplishing what?? There’s plenty of evidence that shows shaming as an incredibly poor long-term strategy. It’s also an incredibly lazy strategy.

There is no difference. This is your interpretation of my actions based on your own narratives. You’ve decided you don’t like me and whatever you do from here on out will be filtered though that lens. I can see you pride yourself on calling other people’s bullshit. I’m not much different. But because of that, I’m not allowed to spread a positive message?? Ok.

Hmmmm... he could I suppose. But that wouldn’t fit into their narratives very nicely. I banter with ss2k5 yesterday then Quinny enters and says enough so we both stop. I make one post today giving props to a dude who made a fantastic post. Minutes later, Tony comes in and derails the thread again with a bunch shaming by pointing how how hypocritical I am. Yeah, those guys are the model of integrity... no hypocrisy there. The irony is that the first post of mine that he quoted was my response to a couple moderators of this message board heckling a certain poster. But context doesn’t matter..

Oh Tony! I do own those statements. And I can absolutely understand why you would spend all that valuable time of yours finding them to accomplish nothing more than making someone on the internet look like a hypocrite. I get it man. Even though I don’t necessarily agree with it. Internet-message-board-moderator-brothers FOR LIFE, right? Oh BTW— How’s your glass house lookin’ Tony? Photos please.

Fantastic post. Empathy is exclusive of agreement. You can choose both empathy and disagreement at the same time. Some people just don’t get it. You absolutely get it man. Hats off to you.

Yeah the lack of transparency is frustrating. And when Trump is actually willing to answer a question, it’s laced with hyperbolic nonsense.

And you keep taking everything at face value.

Again, the things you see as a “new” me are nothing more than your own perceptions filtered through a lens disdain because you’ve decided that you don’t like me. You’ve let it be known, and because of this you’ll desperately tear me down to protect this new part of your identity as a person who dislikes me. And I know this because I’ve read plenty of your work.

Couldn’t agree more. We need more testing. I understand the frustration of those who want to get back to normal. Not everyone’s circumstances are the same as our own and for some, this is causing more hardship than others. What we could do is acknowledge the feelings of others so that they know they’re being heard and that their feelings matter. This is called empathy, which is exclusive of agreement.

The problem with protestors using this quote in that context is that they cannot prove they’re healthy. This is why we need more testing.

Ahhh.. newest SS2k5 tactic: Gaslighting. Unfortunately for both you and me, a decade ago I was still thumbing through WSI; Soxtalk wasn't even a glint in my eye.
