Dozens of protesters took over a building at Columbia University in New York early Tuesday, barricading entrances and unfurling a Palestinian flag from a window in the latest escalation of demonstrations against the Israel-Hamas war on college campuses nationwide. The school promised they would face expulsion.
The occupation at Columbia — where protesters shrugged off an ultimatum to abandon a tent encampment Monday or be suspended — unfolded as other universities stepped up efforts to clear out encampments. Police swept through some campuses, spurring confrontations with protesters and plenty of arrests. In rarer instances, university officials and protest leaders have struck agreements to restrict the disruption to campus life.
You’re exhausting. Take care
You repeatedly edited your comments to change the conversation, and I’m exhausting? New account. 11 comments. Half of them deleted. Cool.
Your account is the one that is flagged for being less than 30 days old. The other one is nearly a year.
My account is new. I was wrong. Their account isn’t new, it’s just been inactive.
Okay. That doesn’t really seem relevant. If they were trolling you or providing false information, I could see pointing to their account activity.
Looking at yours, you post nearly 40 comments a day. I thank you for your contributions to the fediverse, but most people don’t do that.
I’m temporarily disabled, so there’s not much else I can do right now. They kept editing their comments to change the implications of my responses. I looked at the account and saw 11 comments, and half were deleted. I was wrong to assume account age based on that information.
There you go again. Wow, no one tried to make you look bad. I watched it all go down. To be honest I’m surprised you responded the way you did. You need to let it go.
I calmly replied to your interest in my comment history, then admitted to being wrong. What am I missing?
🤔
Conversation never changed. I apologize for edits. Again nothing was changed to redirect the narrative. You also edited all of your comments.
I’ve had this account for almost a year.
All I did was post a historic event that things were in fact difficult back then. Kids were getting shot and killed. It’s always been rough.
We are on the same side, but you have so much anger in you, you turned it into all of this.
I wish you the best.
I edited when I saw your comments were different, so my replies didn’t make sense in context.
Something is wrong with you.
Yes. I’m wasting my time responding to you.
Something is wrong with you.
Didn’t want to edit my comment because of how desperate you are to be “right”. So I’ll add it here.
In all seriousness though. You know what you did. You know how disingenuous you’ve been. You attacked me personally and gaslighted. All because I suggested maybe things have been pretty bad for college protestors for longer than you suggested.
I had no intentions of gaslighting. Your response implied something contrary to my comment. When I defended my comment with a response, you began editing your previous comments to change the conversation and the implications of my comments in turn. It was manipulative and dishonest.
That’s a lie. I did not change the narrative.
