If I said the same words to you in real life, would you take them more seriously? That doesn’t really make sense. You should judge what I say based on the content, not the medium.

In my mind, being online is no different than being in a public space in real life (except, you don’t have any voice or visual cues when communicating). You can have good friends online, and I try to find those people. wasteof has a much higher concentration of those people than any other place online.

I understand that’s not a common view, and we don’t have to be friends. I just want to be friendly, or at least not hate each other. Note that I have apologized for every single time I have upset you, including in this comment thread.

If the only way you will be friendly towards me is if I don’t debate or disagree with you on any topics, I’m willing to do that. If that’s what it takes to have a non-negative relationship, being friendly is worth more to me than having my opinion heard.

  1. no, I wouldn’t actually, I read exactly what you said and it just felt condescending and preachy

  2. you can’t be friends with everybody, its just kind of an unavoidable fact about humans

  3. the best way you can be friendly is by leaving me alone

  4. I value my mental health over being friendly

in conclusion: please leave me alone, Oren

(btw I unfollowed you way before the Palestine argument)

Alright then. That’s it.

I just want to add, as a final comment, that I do not wish ill on you in any way. I do not think that you are a bad person, and I hope you are doing well. I am sorry if I hurt you in any way, but I feel that the aggression was the only way to get you to leave me alone for good. I personally do not like you, but I am just one person on the internet, I am sure there are plenty of people who do like you.

thank you for listening, I will not respond to any comment after this.

Gotcha

Wow why did you guys get mad at each other over some hot take I made a few days ago

(When I said that’s it, I meant like “that’s done” or “that’s that”. I thought it sounded a little aggressive so I just wanted to clarify)
