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)

    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 off make 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.

        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.
