@mapachin we could have ignored it, but (personally) I get enough attacks from the Right. That's what got my goat.
I don't need it from so-called allies trying to tear down a community of people, many of us are people who are active in very REAL ways. Made us sound like villains.
It's disheartening, divisive, and damaging. It's wrong. And I'm done being shit on by the people who are supposed to fight alongside me.
So, we could have ignored it ... but why should we ignore an intentional attack on a group of good people? I get enough of that from MAGA crowd.
OP could've kept their harmful opinions to themselves, too, but they appear to have needed to feel like a Keyboard Warrior.
