What do you think harassment is?
Aggressive pressure or intimidation
So like that?
How is calling someone a “disingenuous pos” harassment? Like, mean, sure. But harassment?
You didn't read the 1st message in the pic where I could say 3 could constitute it.
Following it with that would put me over the edge if I got it in a string of dms
That first message is to db0, not from. Look at the headers.
Just.. Fucking glorious. They're so hell bent to hate me, they correctly understand the mean context but just proceed project it onto me.
Once again for the audience: I sent one single pm to the mod who insulted me and deleted all my non-rule breaking comments and clarifications, therefore allowing all the disinfo to fester once more. The follow up goading and trolling is all them. They literally admitted to trying to goad me in their PM replies and then proceeded to open yet another thread about me to continue the abuse.
Yeah, I may have mentioned it before, but I was labeled a “pedo apologist” because I defined a word (yandre iirc) while explicitly saying I hadn’t played an objectively horrible game.
They proceeded to intentionally misread my comment, and I was told I was perpetuating things by [drumroll] stating that I hadn’t played the game, and had not defended the game or it’s creator in any way.
One of their admins said (paraphrased) “fine, say you’re sorry, and don’t talk about it again, and we are cool.” An hour later I was banned from the instance.
It’s annoying because I actually enjoyed some of their (non political) communities.
Looking through the thread that got you banned though, they left another user who didn’t know the rules alone, and instead just gave them a “hey that’s not how you do disengaging on this instance.” Seemingly no ban. Nuckin futs.
Ye that hypocrisy is part of why I actually lost my cool in the end.
I don’t blame you at all. It’s hard to keep your cool when you’re being told “stop hitting me” by the person actively hitting you.
And yet there were also hitting
Did you read the same messages I did? Even the person who posted the comment above said there were three harassing things, and the “pos” comment was harassment only because of those.
Missing the part where the “pos” comment was the only thing db0 said, and the three harassing things were what was being said to him.
If you need mental gymnastics to vilify someone, maybe rethink your position.
Not a single one but stay on your high horse
