MODERATORS
Are you following me around to other parts of the thread?
That's a little fucking creepy
Youre spreading apologia for people supporting a woman who is extremely harmful to my community. I'm not going to passively sit back and watch you attempt to downplay how serious this conversation is to us. You ignored my comment and I did bring it over here when I saw you saying the same thing in an adjacent comment (this is all under my original comment, I see the updates). I'm not interested in people spreading support direct or indirect for Joanne Rowling on my home instance. I will argue against that every single step of the way.
She could just be glancing at the entire thread once in a while. Not that weird
Nah, the comment she left was a continuation of a previous comment left elsewhere.
I specifically did not respond to that because it was already moving into argument territory, and I would rather not engage like that on this instance. Hell, I prefer not to do it anywhere, but will occasionally.
Once you start down the path where you're moving around a thread to chase a person down instead of either waiting, or pinging them in the comment chain you were already in, there is zero chance of it not ending in an unpleasant way. I've never once seen that end well on the internet, and I've been around forums since the nineties.
Is creepy the best word? Eh, pick one you like better, but it's not friendly and open communication for sure. It's the rough equivalent of someone walking away and grabbing their shoulder, if it played out irl. Maybe more the equivalent of "hey, I wasn't done talking to you", but neither of those ends well irl either.
In any case, I blocked them and I'm not going to let any conversation here turn into an argument. I'll walk away entirely before that happens. This isn't an instance where that's acceptable to me.
