I love it when the hypocrites come out and respond to people they have muted.

Otherwise, you are entirely correct. I did miss where they had already sentenced this person and such.

Eh, At least I made my biases clear by way of my post?

The article title, at the least, also still makes the statement as if this is a forgone thing, and this person isn't still going through the court system. I am reasonably confident that it will not hold up in court, and when appealed, will be struck down.

    Which is why you should pay attention.

    'cuz you know what? Only one of us is a minor here, bub.

Are you a minor?

kleinbl00, bioemerl: Why have you both come out with attacking each other? What is the point in being angry?

bioemerl  ·  3567 days ago  ·  link  ·  

Well, my post was kind of justified in getting an angry response.

My angry response is because a) responding to anger, gotta be defensive, and b) fuck people who use the mute feature then respond to those who they muted. They essentially are saying "I don't want to hear you speak, but I am perfectly happy to respond to you". Which is the definition of one sided pick-your-moment discourse that makes you feel better about yourself while silencing others.

It is better for you to meet anger with anger, or to respond without it?

I tend to be a bit of a troll when I am online, I tend to find anger in discussions is somewhat fun.

Have your previous interactions caused you both to fail to have a civil conversation? What could cause that?
