80. You could have made your point without telling anyone what their needs are
Wed Nov 20, 2024, 01:11 AM
Wednesday

Or that their thoughts were devoid of common sense. You could have responded in the space of reasons, but instead said “no I’m didn’t” and impugned my motive. There was nothing vindictive in my response nor was there any hint that I agree with vindictive behavior. Why call me vindictive and add the sarcasm? We discuss things here and unreasoned attempts to stop discussion draw my attention. If you seek unity and empathy for the sake of the Party or have some other ideal the OP runs against, maybe say what it is. “We're 2 weeks past the election now and people need to get back to their goddamn senses.” It’s really not how people generally speak to perceived equals. You are a productive and informative member of this group I look forward to seeing more of your posts. I just didn’t like this one’s tone and chose to say something.
