I just went and read that exchange, and the person who blocked you never said what you claimed.
You went to an article about someone who stabbed a child 26 times after killing his mother and told people to be more understanding of republicans and not blame them for all the hatred they promote. You're suprised people got mad at you?
Yes. I was surprised to receive that response when I was decrying killing all republicans.
Calling for the death of nearly half of the people in the United States is despicable.
Yeah, that's not at all what the person you were arguing with said. It sounds like you went there to troll and got the reaction you deserved.
I took the time to look through the rest of your comments and, holy shit you suck. Just days ago you were condescending and patronizing gay people for being impatient in gaining equality. I think the best advice I've seen on lemmy is to block you.
No, but it’s what my original (albeit sarcastic) reply was regarding. So their response to me was still framed by my response to calling for murder. I think we’re going to have to agree to disagree on this one though.
Wow. That’s always a great thing to hear first thing in the morning.
Edit: important note here, that post is no longer visible unless you go through my page because the person I replied to, who was mad at the judges for their decision, has deleted their post. This is something important to remember about Lemmy when going through a user’s history. Now continues what I said originally.
If you’re talking about what I said regarding India’s courts, I wasn’t trying to be condescending or patronizing. I was literally saying the courts made the only ruling they could given the laws they had to work with, as shitty and terrible as those laws are. Fuck those laws, but it’s not India’s courts’ job to change them and we shouldn’t be mad at the judges who can’t do anything about those laws. I’m not saying we shouldn’t push for equality as soon as possible, just that those judges aren’t the ones to blame.
This genuinely hurts. Seriously. I try. But I guess I can’t please everyone.
