There was a recent controversy on Gab that reminded me of why I rarely use DM's and whenever I do I am usually very succinct, neutral, and brief in my responses, and why if I have a beef with someone I always hash it out in public, and if someone tries to drag me into drama, I simply don't respond. Dm's are toxic, I have seen many men destroy their entire reputations over what they say in them, unless you are just sharing memes or whatever you shouldn't use them.

You will never be able to character assassinate me over what I say in DM's, because who I am in any longform DM conversation is identical to my public persona.
