You keep saying I’m trying to deny that I insulted you, um. I absolutely did? I’m in no way trying to deny that? I could even say that you’re being a jackass, like, right now. In this moment. You are behaving foolishly by repeatedly presenting the idea that I am trying to convince you that I didn’t insult you. I would just like to clarify, right now, that I absolutely did. It’s a mild insult, akin to calling someone foolish, and it’s less harsh than telling someone to go evaluate what is actually important in their life, but it’s absolutely 100% an insult. If it’s caused undue distress I am genuinely sorry.
(dictionaries or thesauri generally don’t list the etymology of a word, to save space. Some editions of the Oxford English Dictionary do, though that’s really more of a research tool than what is typically thought of as a ‘dictionary’. Most school libraries in the US don’t even have one etymological text, though. Fuck it’s depressing here.)
Gotta ask both of you to shut this down.
You’re not genuinely sorry about anything.
All you do is pour out your hate at me. Don’t even try to claim otherwise. It’s obvious.
I assume next you will try to talk me into suicide like the other person the other day who was doing the exact same thing you are.
In fact, I wouldn’t be shocked if this was the same person’s alt account.
Gotta ask both of you to shut this down.
Why do the mods tolerate this at all? Like if certain users are doing this repeatedly, should they not just be banned?
We need to be very careful about overreaching with regards to pulling comments of/banning users that are showin to be at least making an attempt to debate/disagree in good faith.
Especially now. Everyone is stressed and scared for our friends and our families, and our uncertain future. So there is bound to be some people that need to vent.
Lemmy should be that place. A forum that promotes debate. And if we (mods) bestow upon ourselves the authority to determine what people can and cannot disagree with, it’ll get pretty boring around here.
So we try and let things carry out to their natural conclusion as much as possible. If it seems it’s devolving into a slap-fight, we reluctantly step in to break it up.
Hope this helps.
