      Not bad. A response like this and I would have treated you with respect from the start. The way I’ve done throughout these “4 hours” in other threads. That switch isn’t hard to flip, especially when I’m not as out of control as I pretend to be.

      But I’ve been keeping up with this thread since last night, sleeping, going to work, cooking… I ran a discussion thread on !dungeonmeshi@ani.social and much more.

      This stuff doesn’t bleed for me. I don’t get pissed from a comment online then tear into a friend on discord. I don’t have trouble keeping separate things separate.

      My very source of frustration is the lack of the kind of consideration you are showing now, the kind every person on earth should be capable of. My edits are screams into a pillow, because the only people who see them are the ones who either come back, or showed up after the people I made those edits in response to.

      The people who came across my edits and then decide “yeah, I’ll pile on” may not be the same people that sparked my frustration, but they are the very same kind that cause it.

      Face to face, we don’t deal with angry people the way we do online. In person we react with caution and empathy. Is that what happened here?

      Yes, I played into the unfortunate reality of how this works online for my own satisfaction…

      But your appeal for me to remember that there are people on the other side, is redundant.

      I didn’t forget that. I explicitly took aim at the type of person that does, and I don’t think I missed.
