    I have to say, I read your comment, then went back and actually looked at the first three links they posted. None were rhetorical questions. Are you looking at something somewhere else that I’m not aware of?

    But it doesn’t… Like I’m not actually interested in your fight. I just have a massive pet peeve about someone coming in, seeing a wall of links called ‘evidence,’ and choosing to ignore all that to start a different fight.

    Diva, we disagree on a lot of things, and we agree on others, which makes you (genuinely) so much fun for me to see in a thread.

    I just told people on another thread that (because of my trauma background) I don’t feel anger very often, which means I appreciate folks like you (and conversely, maybe, Rusty here) because I see you leap straight to it with abandon.

    I guess what I’m saying is, it takes all kinds to make a world, and I’m glad you’re in it.

    cm002, I have no dog in this fight, and lemme say, I love having no dog in this fight.

    But if someone tells you that you have too much evidence and they aren’t going to engage with it, and then instead pivots to trying to force you to engage with their points, and devolves to “please state whether you believe the comics are antisemitic…” This is just a suspicion, and I could be wrong, but I’m pretty sure they’re not engaging you in good faith.


  • Those three links were posts of screenshots of mod actions? If I was doing a big, hyperfocus-style, documenting-things kind of thing, I wouldn’t link directly to the modlog for a lot of reasons. I’d link to a screenshot of the modlog. That way, people can see the thing I want to point out, and then if they want, go verify that it’s in the modlog.

    Normally I wouldn’t wade into this obvious shitshow, but I have a massive pet peeve of a person dismissing another person’s argument with, “There’s too much evidence.” I get not wanting to comment individually on each and every thing they posted, who has the time, but for “I don’t want to engage with all this content,” there’s the option of not commenting at all. Telling someone that their point is invalid because they have too much content is really really really frustrating for me. That might be my neurodivergence but…

    But, “your point is wrong because there’s too much evidence and I don’t wanna read it” isn’t a counterargument to the original point being made. And making a counterpoint of, “but here’s MY argument and MY evidence and I want you to engage with THAT” is… not what good faith debate should look like. If you can’t be bothered to engage with the original point being made, using it to pivot a discussion to your own point is… rude.

    So your reply to… 20 links, is to complain that someone is documenting well (“obsessed”) and then make one claim against the entire instance with one supporting link?

    I have a massive problem with .world. There’s a reason I’m not on it. But the .world liberal problem doesn’t undo the .ml tankie problem. Two things can be true.

    I don’t love that you jumped to listing a bunch of terrible things you projected onto him. Famous dude like that probably did, but listing making out with an underage groupie as if it were just a cheeky thing is kind of awful.

    I looked it up and apparently the photo is backstage at the International Hotel in 1969.

    In 1973 he was apparently hospitalized for an addiction to pethidine (I had to look it up- Demerol) and when he died, they found several drugs in his system, so my guess is drugs.
