Its a shame because they’re prominent voice on lemmy. Good on the admins for not tolerating this. I don’t understand the point of targeting a person you don’t like on the internet just because they said something that upset you and spamming their post with downvotes. If you don’t like someone block their ass and be done with it. I agree with the perspective that its harassment (and an incredibly petty ineffective form of it at that)
hmm now I’m curious
>checks
AHAHAHAHA no. Funny, but no. I have that dude blocked, I can’t remember exactly why but I’ve had him blocked for at least a year and I remember his username and him being a twat, I just don’t care enough to go looking up how he was a twat.
Can I do that too? I mean, I have enough respect for the people reading my stuff to explain why I think things so they can think it over, see if it makes sense, I mean they’re free to agree or disagree but I guess I was wasting my time with that when AHAHAHAHAHA means obviously I’m right and the other person is wrong…
Okay. Who are you? Why do I take your opinion about him seriously just because you say it and actively refuse to give any reason?
The same could be said of you. Why should anyone take the former admin of a presumably failed single-person instance seriously?
Lol
Because I explain the reasons for what I think, and then people can decide for themselves whether it makes sense. I don’t really have to be anybody (and, indeed, I am not) for it to sway people.
There’s a whole other contingent that likes to fall back on “but I am (this identity)!” or “well I’m the moderator of (wherever)” to justify their stuff. Or, like this person, just AHAHAHAHAHA instead of reasons. I like my way better.
You can have whatever opinion about the guy you want, I was just offering that I’ve had personal experience with someone you classify as “the most helpful and drama-free” being anything but, and if he got banned he probably deserved it. I’m very sorry I don’t feel like digging through every comment I’ve/he’s ever written to go and remember exactly why I think he’s an obnoxious dickhead, all I can remember is that I’ve interacted with him, and he was enough of an obnoxious dickhead to justify blocking him. You’re welcome to go do so if you don’t believe me.
Yeah what was I thinking looking up his modlog, quoting some of the stuff that got him banned, and weighing in on it and specifically why. I should have just said I liked him, and “if he got banned, he probably didn’t deserve it” all confident-like, and called it a day. It’s easier, too.
no, next time just don’t
suck him offmake sweeping claims of someone’s impeccable character unless you’re prepared for someone else who’s had personal experience to the contrary to pipe up. That’d be good enough.if that’s too much of an ask I can always just block you as well, though, I genuinely don’t care. Out of sight, out of mind.
edit: goodness, that’s a long reply and from just skimming the start of it, it seems you went to a lot of trouble to make a strawman. Too bad I ain’t reading allat, you take care now.
Apology accepted, you too
So I said “Hey here’s what I think”
And so then you said “well you’re WRONG because here’s what I think instead”
So far so good
And then I said “Well I have reasons for what I think and you seem to be just shouting your opinion and only that so it seems like I win”
And then you said “HOW DARE YOU HERE’S WHAT I THINK YOU’RE BEING UNFAIR”
And then I got even more sarcastic about it and now you are hurt because of it
It’s understandable I guess. I still think that opinion + reasons is better than just OPINION OPINION OPINION even if I do grasp that you might have had different experiences than I have had and so different perspectives to bring to bear. Like I say you are refusing to elaborate even in the slightest which I feel like is a fair thing to ask you to do if you’re going to call another human being a “twat.”
All good, you’re free to block me if the sarcasm is overly hurtful, I do do that sometimes.
