When I say what? Afaik there’s no way to tell which post you’re replying too. I assume you’re basically saying I’m excuse-making bc I feel some kind of guilt for past actions. I do to the extent that I’ve made mistakes I regret, not in the sense that I have skeletons in my closet or have ever said anything like that. 

Yeah, if he’s the person he says he is, I hope he finds solace in not having to deal with a throng of insane bigots. There’s dignity (more, some would argue) in quieter work. 

Yeah, I agree. I think this kinda thing needs to be taught a little better too. Basic decency and adaptive behaviors are a big part of education, and I think it needs to be made absolutely clear that extends to your online presence as well. The internet as the wild west was a commonly used metaphor, and the west is…

I think that it landing the way it did has a lot more to do with his current situation than the content of that tweet lol, which is understandable. Pretty boilerplate “let me know if I should unfollow somebody who’s hurt you” tweet, imo. 

What are you even arguing with me about? Where did I say that ostracism is always wrong and people are entitled to forgiveness immediately upon request?

I don’t think that’s at all related to his old posts? follower/following dynamics are pretty widely discussed, I’m pretty sure that just means that he’ll unfollow a followers abuser if they let him know. very strangely worded though, I can see how you’d pick up some malice if that’s a verbatim quote.

Sure, it’s definitely prevalent.

Nah, I said it’s “no more righteous”. Because it’s not. Neither of those are righteous things, they happen because people want an easy solution to a hard problem. Changing the underlying structures that create issues is a seemingly impossible task. Imprisonment is, of course, worse than social ostracisation, though nei…

I don’t know the guy. I’m not losing sleep over his firing. I don’t have much evidence either way, and neither do you. All I know is that it’s a bunch of extremely shitty reactionary gamers using the tools at their disposal to get someone who they hate fired. I’m not gonna pat them on the back for it, I’m a lot more…

I... agree with all that? What did I say that would cause you to post your response? 

If they had demonstrably changed their behavior, then no, I wouldn’t. If it was an ongoing pattern, then sure, fair game.

I honestly can’t tell if you’re a troll, an op, or a bizarre person who is constantly missing the forest for the trees. 

One is a person who had disgusting views, the other is a strategy employed by people who still hold those views to societally punish anyone they disagree with. I’m gonna say they’re both bad and leave it at that.

I mean you should, though. A situation can have two troubling aspects. It is possible. 

Yeah I can agree with that, although I sorta don’t think anyone should be “under” or “over” anyone in the first place in a workplace. if he’s a changed person and that’s reflected in his behavior than I don’t see a reason that he should be permanently unemployable, but yeah, nobody “needs” to be a manager. 

Yeah, 100 percent.

Looks amazing, watched the nextlander crew play the e3 demo and was instantly smitten. 

Really cool article, so many pieces of media have extremely specific memories tied to them for me, doubly so in times of poor health. Always glad you’re still around. 

damn... sick

Thanks, appreciate all your well thought out responses on this post! I don’t necessarily agree with everything you’ve said, and I would be interested to see how you feel 5-10 years from now, but your point is well taken. Faster isn’t always better, and even when it is, the cost can be prohibitive.
