I downvoted maybe half a dozen posts. They were all right-wing bullshit and I realized that’s all the user has ever posted so I got out of there. The next day I see more of his junk and go to downvote but can’t because I’m banned.

Sure it was a dick move to poke the bear about his lifestyle of only posting things that get downvoted, but he. Went. OFF!

Accusing me of alts, thinking I’m obsessed with him, message after message… I probably have more in my inbox right now but stitching this image together took long enough.

    You’re entitled to your feelings. Doesn’t bother me one bit.

    I can remember what I’ve seen and share my opinions on it, same as anybody else. I wouldn’t call that an “unhealthy hangup” so much as “remembering why you don’t care for someone.”

    Now, could I continue to make this case? Sure. Could I provide evidence? Absolutely. But I am not going to hyperfocus on this, I’m not interested in running a crusade, and I don’t owe anybody here anything.

    I think that would be unhealthy.

    Besides, several people here have gone forth with the impression to let someone have a fresh start. That’s a valid way to want to live. I can’t do that, but I won’t try and step on other people trying to believe in the good in people.

    If you think I’m an asshole for saying someone has a reputation that they earned, that’s fine. If you think I’m an asshole for saying I think sharing an instance with them is cringe, that’s fine, too. I don’t regret making an attempt at finding someone else saying something I would say, and sharing that, because it wastes as little of my time on an issue as possible.

    The more I dig in on something, the higher the risk of hyperfixation on it, and there is nothing to be gained here by anyone if I hyperfixate on why I dislike someone.

    I’m trying to engage in this discussion, but do it as lightly as possible, which is why I’m only replying to one reply I get at a time in this thread and move on. (I responded to yours this time. I’ll be ignoring all others here for the rest of the night.)
