Never said diverse viewpoints have to be removed, just that calling Seagoon defensive is out of line considering the context, which you seem to just gloss over in favour of being antagonistic towards her. She's not being defensive, she's giving context ffs.
Have your opinion, didn't say you can't, but that perhaps you are being downvoted because you obviously lack the nuance and empathy that a day like today calls for.
Edit: loving how you gloss over this part funny that
Well, if that's how you feel, I can make sure there won't be a repeat.
Though, I do wonder if you intentionally misunderstood my original comment, again, just for the sake of getting all uppity, as you've done so many times in the past 🤔
No need to jump on the defensive again, seagoon. I was answering a question, not attacking your beliefs.
It just came across as patronising that's all. Listen, some people are really hurt by what trump has said today. It's just best to leave it and move on. Plus it was bloody hot and everybody's grumpy.
Yeah, sorry CEO. Thanks for the advice (not sure if it's really advice, but I'm not sure what else to call it. I do appreciate it, though). And it has indeed been a toasty one today
Oh fuck off with the self deprecating woe-is-me bullshit. Don't play dumb.
What the fuck does "I can make sure there won't be a repeat" mean? If your really going to threaten yourself over this, just forget it, I'm out.
Oh, sorry if it came across like that, I'm not threatening myself at all. Or anybody else for that matter. And it isn't a threat. Also not trying to play dumb, or do any "work-is-me bullshit", though perhaps you should take some of your own advice one day. No need to be so aggressive all the time. Relax a little
And I'm not sure if you are actually out or not, but I am. I'm going to watch a movie. Adieu
