I was only rudely replying to the comment which was oversimplifying a lot of positions as a way to get back at them.
I may be overly aspergic about this, I accept, but please try to say what you mean more.
Instead of “Please define tankie”, why not say “@OP, tankie is a muddy and overused word, please state what you mean by it, and if you don’t have a useful and valid meaning for the term, avoid it.”
Instead of “You’re not OP”, why not say “Wow, you’ve certainly oversimplified a lot of positions there!”.
I’m afraid I’m finding your hidden meanings constantly unsettling. I don’t mind you disagreeing with people and entering firmly into the debate, and I thoroughly approve of the bans you put in place, but I’m finding the indirectness harder to come to terms with.
TBH I’m just tired of the whole semantic circus around muddy words like “tankie”
This is the best thing you’ve said. I found it properly eye-opening because it communicates something about how the word is used that wasn’t as clear in my mind as it is now.
Hey,
:)
Btw, I liked this whole comment overall a lot because it was open and honest, showed me how you feel, made you human and very relatable, and clarified concepts for me. Quadruple win!
Hey I’m autistic too, but for some reason I really love sarcasm, shitposting and all that jazz. (edit: even if I sometimes don’t get it myself when on the receiving end LOL)
Your point about being clearer when commenting as mod is very much valid (saved your comment above) and something I should probably keep in mind, but sometimes my fable for sarcasm and shitposting just wins over ^^’

I liked this short exchange as well ^w^
It made me happy. Thank you.
