@lillyfinch @theogrin @Jeramee @JuliusGoat OK, this was a spontaneous rant and I could and will do a better job at this, but I’mma keep resurfacing this because it’s something I think someone may have solved at some point, but I’ve never heard.
The problem I struggle with isn’t “how do you respond to disingenuous fucksticks” (SO many good strategies, few of them satisfying, none of them particularly effective), it’s “how do you respond to good bamboozled people without being a condescending ass or screaming in frustration”?
