You bros just dont get it. 'Round here we care deeply about freedom of speech, and thats why we are extremely concerned that you aren't banning enough people. Bans are the building blocks of dialogue. War = Peace, weakness = strength and Censorship = Speech

Y'all are still thinking that this is a Reddit thing. "Certain people" in Reddit HAAAATE this thing, as much, if not more than "certain people" in Saidit do.

Sure. I'm a turtle in my flair. I'm not screeching, or wailing in distress.

Don't get hung up on the turtle thing. It's a flimsy accusation.
It is funny.
I sometimes laugh at crass humor, but it isn't exactly high brow on the debate scale.

I doubt that critical thinkers such as yourselves would hang your hat on that as a community?

Your arguments have intellectual substance beyond ridicule, right?

If you eliminated the "turtle", then you'd still be able to stand up on your own two feet, and fight. Right?

Something that you might need to know....

Due to an overly long relationship with a narcissistic, habitually-lying gaslighter, I made sure to unwire most of those "buttons" that most people have, that some will attempt to exploit. So, statements such as:

and

Do not have the effect that you may think that they would.

You wouldn't be a member of the WotB if you didn't recognize the institutional abuse of the Democratic party.

It's time to acknowledge you're also a victim of institutional abuse from Reddit.

A victim of admin censorship, and admin sanctioned harassment from other Redditors who were much more asleep than yourself.

It appears that the years of abuse may have damaged your sensibilities, and somewhat retarded your psychological and spiritual growth.

I'm not going to hold that against you. Hopefully you'll come around.

Figured you'd take that that way. Way to "double down" there.

Responding to "attempts at emotional manipulation do not work on me" with "Well, you're broken!"? That's almost textbook. If you consider Gentle Art a textbook, then it is textbook.

It's time to acknowledge you're also a victim of institutional abuse from Reddit.

Actually, we at WotB have been aware of the "institutional abuse" from Reddit since the day we walked in from our exile from elsewhere, and have dealt with it with open eyes.

Those selfsame open eyes that can see the "institutional abuse," not from Saidit itself, but from a small bunch of self-appointed gatekeepers of Saidit. And we are dealing with it the same here as there.

admin sanctioned harassment from other Redditors

I'm guessing that the irony of that phrase is lost on you.

Mkay.

Seems like you have everything figured out already. There's no help for that.

I'm sure there's a long line of people with questions in front of your door, so I'll let you get back to helping them out.

I wish you the best of fortune.

And the same right back to you. Perhaps you would find greener pastures for what you are dishing out in some other sub.

I noticed you had disagreements with a significant number of others on this submission alone.

Others seem to have quickly formed opinions of your comments.

Nice try.
Took you a while. At least half an hour.

Others seem to have quickly formed opinions of your comments.

They quickly did, you say? Yet another for the list.

I'm a turtle in my flair.

Really? <goes to look> So you do. Is there a point in bringing that fact to the fore?

Don't get hung up on the turtle thing.

What a great idea. Have you suggested that to all those people running around, all hair-on-fire about it?

If you eliminated the "turtle", then you'd still be able to stand up on your own two feet, and fight. Right?

In case you haven't noticed, or forgot I already said it, I do not have control of the Turtle Button.
So, I do not have The Turtle. Therefore I do have to "stand up on [my] own two feet, and fight." If you want to look at it that way.

Why do you view it as fighting? You seem to have all this warfare framing in your speech.

For example, this "suing for peace" that you keep saying that you are trying to do.

I was interested in a bit of disambiguation on your use of the term. In the warfare framing that you seem to fall back on, "suing for peace" tends to have four main definitions:

  • Negotiations for the conditions to cease hostilities, sued for by one who has the ability to cease the aforementioned hostilities
  • Negotiations to begin the negotiations
  • A surrender, with a request for terms of the surrender, or
  • A demand for the other side to surrender, and obey.

Which of those four is closest to your "suing for peace"?

It would not look too good on your part if you actually meant one of those definitions but allowed everyone here to make the assumption that you meant one of the others....
