Sounds like you've noted my handle and noted disagreements, but I just searched your name in the thread looking for more info and didn't find an explanation for stopping it. Maybe it was the deleted comment.

@some_guy basically I was just pointing out that unlike the Israel situation neither side here is an important US ally. This is going to take either an AU intervention or a UN one.

I don't think we've had disagreements. For reasons I don't really understand you objected to me replying to your comment on my thread once and told me not to reply to your comments. I objected at first but you got quite irate and told me off.

I don't block people because reasons, but I hoped you'd just block me, to avoid a repeat of whatever it was.

I normally refrain from replying to you at all in my threads but in this case I thought it was worth pointing out because the world really can do more for Sudanese civilians if there is more awareness of the situation.

Curious if you could link to when we had a spat? I only recognize a handful of names on Lemmy and most are because they're super active (not saying you aren't super active). If my name stands out to you, that seems like the spat must have been noteworthy.

Sure, I can probably dig it up if you're interested. Like I said, it wasn't a spat, it was just you telling me not to reply to your comments.

I'm a bit of a film fan and was pleasantly surprised when Spielberg of all people said something vaguely against killing civilians in Gaza (half of Hollywood seem to be wildly pro genocide), so I posted it in a movie sub.

Emotive subject, might explain it. Also I get lazy about deleting tags. Maybe when you see it again you'll remember how annoying I am and block me this time!

Anyway here it is, I can't seem to format it for other instances but here it is viewed through kbin.

You're right. I remember that. And I didn't read the end of the quote. Apologies.

I was all pumped for the A15 protests at the time and I was really mad (still am). I wasn't saying not to reply, just not to tag or @ me.

Context: I've been mad at Spielberg for a while for glorifying war in Priv Ryan. I went into that comment thread with multiple sets of baggage. Apologies again for lashing out without taking in the content in an unbiased fashion. I take ownership when I make mistakes. Cheers.

Thanks for the apology, it's all good. Glad I can stop avoiding replying to you in my threads.

I am really bad at not backspacing over the pre-populated tag though. Doesn't help that I interact a fair bit with people from Mastodon on here and they tend to use it. Also kbin thread displays can be confusing so the tags help me keep track of the conversation in big threads.

So, yeah I'll try to not tag you but if I ever do start annoying you, do block me.
