Hello fellow former southern Baptist.
I hate to admit it took me way too long to realize the blatant hypocrisy.
Glad you made it out.

Hello fellow former southern Baptist.

Glad you made it out.
Ahh yeah. That’s tough.
If you’re in a position to sell snacks I wonder if that would do well for those walk ins.
Atheists: Us too, right?…
Notice this response isn’t “that’s wrong and here’s why” it’s “someone else also said this”.
Even if it were true that I was repeating BP taking points, that’s not a good reason to discount it.

To help drive the point home, how many widgets will a company make if no one is buying them anymore?
Corps make and sell what we buy.
Arguments like yours seem to condense down to “I won’t change until a corp forces me to” which makes no sense to me.
That’s how Reddit used to work until they made the idiotic change (IMO) to go the other way. A blockee loses the ability to even participate in any thread/post started by the blocker.
For example, after the change if I blocked you now, you wouldn’t be able to respond to me or anyone else further down a thread I started.
This is a boon to bullshitters, disinformation campaigns, etc since those people could just post their bullshit and then block anyone who attempted to call them out.
I meant in terms of hiding a particular user.
To me, blocking means “I don’t see $”. Not “$ doesn’t see me”. Ad blocking, script blocking, site blocking via DNS, etc is my mental model.
… I’ll allow it.

Oh, sorry. It’s here.
I left it out since it’s paywalled but I should have thought that some might want it.
Another example for why I absolutely refuse to categorize people by skin color, sex, sexual preference, etc.
This guy’s a fucking piece of shit no matter what color he is.
Whatdy’a say we judge politicians on their policy rather than immutable attributes?
A browser plugin bringing the functionality back would probably do well.
If history is any indication, they will complain and no significant number of them will cancel.
Ow my neck (I have whiplash)
Oh yeah I’m definitely not a carpet expert.
I meant with a temperament like yours, I can’t imagine why anyone would do you wrong.
ahem… THE ABOVE SENTENCE IS SARCASM
Since I you missed it last time I figured you might need a bigger sign.
Gee, I just can’t imagine why anyone would do that to you…
