What makes this worse is the obvious disrespect from Cowbee of my request to disengage. I made it very clear I didn’t want to argue. These communities have absolutely no standards of behaviour for members of the in-group. Which is exactly why I don’t engage with them in these communities.
Well, also the fact that I hate being constantly called a liberal for not repeating Capitalist Putin’s latest botfarm talking point. Talking to these people is an exercise in keeping my calm while I am constantly insulted. No thank you.
Similar to @Enkers@sh.itjust.works, I suspect I’m lacking some context here, but based purely on what I can see in this post, you came across as rather childish. I’m inclined to say YDI/BPR.
While I do agree that rule should have applied to Cowbee too, that doesn’t give you carte-blanche to do the same.
Also, confronting someone you know to be a troll in an intentionally inflammatory manner, then getting annoyed that they chose to argue with you is like waving a red flag in front of a bull and being surprised it charged at you…
You baited that argument, so I don’t have much sympathy for you in that regard.
I don’t follow, where is the implication that I’m a troll? OP’s complaint was that me as an ML was left alone while they as an Anarchist were punished (though there was no indication that they were an Anarchist, just being pro-dem).
