You do realise that when speaking of the initial event and “downvotes” am literally talking about a comment chain that occured ELSEWHERE, right?

There’s always a subset that have very clearly just replaced religion with atheism as their new faith. And they kept the arsehole pious framework too.

The full context mentioned that after I pointed out the unhelpfulness of the comment I got downvoted and - they literally said this - “ok then let’s fight”

Efit; on review it was"argue", not fight.

I’m not sure if your instance shows ratios, but I had multiple downvotes, and some upvotes.

I’ve had to sit with this for a few days because it really felt like I was being attacked for performing incorrectly.

I think - well, hope -that we are having different conversations.

How I perceived it:

• I made a comment using a well known internet rhetoric device illustrating behaviours I didn’t understand
• you castigated me for “tribalism” and said I shouldn’t judge based on the actions of one person
• I pointed out it was more than one person and i still didn’t understand why the behaviour occurred

Your comment here…does not make sense to me in this context.

also a stupid reason. I mean I get people who gear jam on it or don’t like seeing it, but we are adults on the internet not children. We do not smack like toddlers at things we do not like to try and force them to behave how we want. We simply block that which annoys us and move on.

They boo you but you’re right.

Better.

A torturous bastard? I mean i love the fucker but lets not forget exactly what he is. The butcher that supplemented the shepherds.

In Australia…eh.

Its an iron!

I mean the fact that la’ans family still has the surname is some pretty dark storytelling in a watsonian sense. Normally they’d change that shit in a heartbeat. The fact they haven’t suggests a preventative mechanism, probably for monitoring purposes. There’s also the bigotry exhibited during Una’s trial right down even to Bashir’s. Humanity has some deep fuckin’ trauma there

Keep going, why stop there

Well they didn’t discover DNA in the trek verse for quite a while so they got really really good at voiceprint analysis instead

Databases.

See? Pocket sized.

Mate, you have moose and bears and shit. Don’t squawk about spiders.

Fire.

We just have the file server in another room and use a mini itx pc slaved to the tv as a player with a bequiet psu

And then the Aussies show up.
