    while pronouns dont particularly matter to you, they matter very much to a lot of the people on this forum, many of whom are trans people. youve been asked before to respect their pronouns. when in doubt, unless otherwise told, they/them will do. its not that hard.

    i wasn't whining, but anyways! im not really a big fan of any of the mods being reduced to a derisive "that mod", when our names are easily accessible and right there on the post itself.

    the reason why thats the only thing you see in my reply is because i didnt see a need to comment on anything else.

    I mean, challenge accepted? I already have multiple keyboards for other languages, I could add more. I also have a text expander so it takes a single c/p instead of multiple, but I could do so without that too.

    If you would really prefer to be referred to with another set of pronouns, I'd do my best, though I would probably mess up a bit at first or default to they/them at times.

    Tbh even if I know you're trolling me, I'd probably still go by your stated preference.

    It's as easy as asking, my friend.

    How fucking dare you.

    You're lucky that when I make a promise I try to keep them. I'm sending your the resources I could find shortly, and amend a part of my message with strikes to reflect my feelings, but after that, I am not lending you a hand anymore. you don't want to be dehumanized, then don't dehumanize other people.

    Athol. I'm giving you the benefit of the doubt here and asking you.

    Is this sarcasm?

    Because it reads in every way, with previous messages also on this topic, reading like sarcasm.

    And I know there's fresh things to engage with, but I'm not going too, until you can tell me that you understand that what you did to spock was not okay.

    I am not going to drop this point. I am not going to engage with anything else.

    You need to be able to tell me that you understand it was not okay to hold yourself hostage, to make threats, and belittle someone.

    Also I suggest for other respondents that the latest thing about pronouns not be engaged with, as it was explained in-depth why pronouns are important earlier in the thread. Athol if you are still confused about that, go back and re-read and take in the information as important beyond your negative feelings toward spock.

    Snitchanon What's a mod to a nonbeliever.

    A number of posts have been wiggled here. The two possible explanations for the wigglings are:
    1. They were a combination of incessantly offensive, generally unpleasant and mean. The content can kinda be extrapolated from the non-wiggled things.
    2. We, the mods, are a far-reaching conspiracy seeking to silence the true voice of freedom, Greallan.
    Make of that what you will.

    Athol Magarac I prefer reading posts without a lot of topics.

    I'm sorry if I'm being short, but I'm having hallucinations about answering things and them not being there.

    No sarcasm. I might miss a few things, but generally I mark when I'm being sarcastic.

    Which thing did you think was not okay with Spock specific (as opposed to Mods maybe Spock?) Could we keep the stuff I already addressed to one sentence, or else address the things I addressed?

    Okay thank you. For future reference a lot of the ways you've been replying ping all the social conventions of extreme sarcasm.

    Things that were not okay with how you've treated spock:

    - threatening self harm. threatening to send her videos of your self harming. continued insults.

    I would like to know you fully understand that this was Not Okay, and if you understand Why it was Not Okay

    Didn't we cover this a while ago when we figured out that I was reading Spock's posts as extremely hostile and they stopped posting in this thread out of respesct for that?

    I'm gaslighting. Comon, help me belief that you treated me like a human bean.

    i have no idea what you're talking about.
    also, there's reading posts that are phrased reasonably as being hostile when they are not, and there's what you're doing. Which is using all the communication flags of sarcasm via saying....unreasonable things and asking if you should be doing them.
    This is an unreasonable thing, it's the opposite of what anyone would want or expect you to internalize, also nobody told you this, so it hits all the markers of sarcasm as a result.


    I would like you to address the rest of my last post. I will not address anything else until you address the rest of my last post.

    Stop it. That isn't funny, and you're being abusive again.

    ETA: I can only assume this was an incredibly tasteless attempt at a joke. Don't. Do not do this. Gaslighting isn't funny, and if you start deliberately fucking with our perceptions of reality I'm just going to block you, I will never unblock you, and you will have utterly run out all of my good will.

    Yeah, I think some of this is splash damage from the frustration with the mods. Things which are in and of themselves wiggleable are being wiggled, but we try to let things through so communication can happen, like, at all. I know the lack of visible escalation in public can make the escalation itself seem really sudden and even more alarming than the content (emotional manipulation, general rudeness), but I'm not sure if there's anything we can do on our end to ameliorate it.

    Kinda, I'm drunk if you can't tell from the timestamp and I get really snarky when I assume things got wiggled. Hey, pleasant surprise that the conversation is still out in the open... There's something of Kathy's that I need to find in the morning.

    Knowing that deliberate gaslighting, or jokes about it, is a thing, is very useful.

    Cause like I don't want to invest energy in a conversation where actually the person is just laughing at me and fucking with my perception of reality. So, I'm glad that got through and I was able to question about it.

    I have no idea what time it is for you. The timestamp shows me what time it is where I am, and I don't know your drinking habits. I have no way to tell when you are or are not drunk except when you tell me.

    Also what you've done with your custom signature? Fucked up. Remove that. I'm not engaging with you while it's there.

    Fun fact: you don't need to assume things are wiggled or not. This thread is here, with all your posts visible, and the pear wiggler is visible, with all your wiggled posts visible, so you have the capability to check.
