"Why don't you block them right away?"
For about 12 years now, people have been writing me to say "you know, I used to think you were fucking crazy, but now I'm realizing you were right..."
If a Nazi shows up in my replies, I block them right away. If you're just an entitled dipshit, I try to give you a couple chances to fuck off and maybe learn something at some later point in time.
I dunno why I bother tho - most of these people RAPIDLY accelerate to 3 strikes and you're out b/c "big mad."
@AnarchoNinaWrites Do you ever get people telling you, you radicalized them. Back in the day when I had a lot more time and patience to debate peeps online, I got a few of those, and you're way more prolific in writing than I was.
@db0 Sometimes; but I don't let them get away with simplifying it like that. I tell them 'the world radicalized you, all I did was help you stop lying to yourself about it."

"...people have been writing me to say "you know, I used to think you were fucking crazy, but now I'm realizing you were right..."
That's legit, tho.
They 90 percent (maybe 99 percent) of the time do, as you say, rapidly accelerate. It's cool you give them the chance tho. The smart play is to go silent and watch. But no, they always take it so fucking personal. And it's hilarious to watch. Breaks up the horror show nicely.
In short, you have a format and it works.

I remember the conversation in this case. Buddy was freaking because we called out Carney for Davos and the recent reports he caved.
Buddy didn't like that, diagreed Big Time. "No, no...you just don't understand."
You spent the next five posts explaining your position.
Of course, CBC Radio had a similar take this a.m...seems that PLANET EARTH agreed with your take.
@clintruin I mean sure, but just keep in mind right - he's not mad because he disagreed with me. He's mad because I didn't care and told him to fuck off.
The rightness, or wrongness of my post has absolutely nothing to do with why both of these men, and they are quite clearly men, are trying to convince people I'm abusing THEM.
They just don't like being told to fuck off or that their opinions have no value to me.
@AnarchoNinaWrites Need merch saying "Nina Was Right About Everything"
@SharpCheddarGoblin Not quite everything. But I will put my batting average against any "Very Serious Person" in the media and win without breaking a sweat.
