I think people should be allowed to react to ideas with scorn and ridicule. If people determine that they can’t win because a lot of other people disagree with them and decide to leave because of it, that’s on them. That’s not being chased away.
I’m really opposed to anything that involves choosing between one or the other.
I haven’t checked up on 2+2 much since it was bought but I’m fairly sure you can still search for old posts so it’s not necessary to rely on one’s memory. July 2016 isn’t even 6 years ago yet.
I’ve just given two names. Again, it’s mostly half remembered bullshit and it clearly made a larger impression on others than me. I’m not going to speak for them or go back and read their posts from months ago. What’s remembered is also different than what happened, and that’s true for everyone.
The biggest thing though is that I really don’t care, and find it super odd that some people do.
I would prefer if no one gets banned or punished for anything they did on 2+2, not even Sklansky or Kelhus, because that just opens the door to endless relitigation.
Not having a clear rule that everyone gets to start with a clean slate just encourages posters with grudges to think that their complaints about others can carry over to here.
Not to relitigate but my thing was always that people have a right to know if someone is the same person they interacted with in the past, especially because anyone should be able to make a decision for themselves on whether a space is safe for them. Actively saying we should prohibit the usage of a person’s past name just felt really gross to me.
I remember people being like “how can you sit here with a straight face and expect us to believe you don’t feel anger and hate towards ikes” but I just chalked that up to another example of me being very bad at communicating.
FWIW in July I have a couple appointments for some real diagnostic analysis, there’s stuff I and some previous doctors believe may be ASD or something. Could explain my bewilderment at how people read me so fucking often.
Do people have a right to create a safe space for themselves by preserving their anonymity? Surely, you can understand that some people might want a wall of separation between different identities.
People should not be required to share more than they wish here. (But lol on people who overshare and get wrecked.)
Which is completely valid and I respect it, but it seems like guys like NBZ and CN deserve the same courtesy? fwiw, I think Ikes got doxxed once or twice on 22.
I’m sorry dude but this is 100% crybully bullshit and frankly you know why. I remember exactly what your reaction was when someone reached out to you about keeping a space safe. You didn’t give a shit, and were obviously using the fact to troll and nothing more.
