So like, maybe you should take a discussion that is really and only about whether or not unpopular decisions deserve to be heard more than popular ones for what it is, instead of for veiled commentary about you, brah. I literally didn't think about you once while I was writing this post. Yes, I was considering the threads of last night but to be frank, the only person I thought Q might be commenting on was me.

You can cool your heels now.

EDIT here are my edits because of course I have more to say.

a) A discussion that got so nasty a beloved and long term member of the community deleted his account almost immediately afterwards, and then a second one did shortly afterwards, seems to me like it could be considered "harmful" speech. Clearly it so upset multiple people that they were driven away from a place they once loved, and where they were loved and appreciated. I would consider harm done. I absolutely think that there were detrimental impacts on this community. Now, do you want to take responsibility for that whole thread? Seems like you do. I wasn't gonna bother, you know, it takes two to tango and whatever, but since you're volunteering, sure. You can be the alpha and omega of the drama and altercations last night.

b) Really brah? You wanna have an argument with me about whether or not I felt that the discussion last night was racist? First, we already did that once. During that discussion. Second, clearly, that didn't go well for either party. It seems unwise to try to reinitiate. Are you just trying to see how many users that do more than pick fights you can force to leave? (Note: I'm using "you" here because, apparently, you're the only person responsible for what went down last night; see point a. If you had realized that you weren't the only person in that thread, I wouldn't suggest you were on a personal vendetta. But because it's all about you brah, it's all about you.)
