@nonlinear @greenWhale @SallyStrange @aud @aral @eatyourglory read the whole thread. You’ll notice that I’ve repeated the same exact arguments multiple times. And every time my words were intentionally distorted, chopped and pasted in different ways to picture me as someone I’m not, just so I could fit into a readily available stereotype that many of my interlocutors had in mind.

After repeating the same argument 10 times, and getting your own words manipulated all the 10 times, while being undeservely covered by insults by those who allegedly advocate for online safety, and being forcefully stereotyped by those who allegedly fight against prejudice, wouldn’t you show a little bit of frustration?

Now tell me, which one is more offensive? “Gosh, the whole humankind must have suddenly become dumb” after countless attempts of manipulating my words and countless episodes of verbal aggression in response to my calm arguments, or “I hope a bacteria infects you and kills you” / “I hope a dog pisses in your eye”? Just to make sure that we’re using the same scales. At some point continuous provocation and aggression just reap their own deserved fruits.

And btw, did you even bother to read the remaining text, or did you cherrypick that phrase in a sea of words and ignored the rest so I could also fit in one of your readily available prejudices?
