Who cares? Well, for one, Butterflies did. She reacted the same way I did. She had the same interpretation of the term as I did. Words matter, Al, and there is no way you are not aware of the implications of "ganging up".
Why is it that if you use a term "in passing", we're supposed to ignore it since you claim you didn't "say it in a negative way" but you generate page upon page of callout posts if somebody else does it?
You might as well kill that newest callout of yours, btw. I am not going to respond to it, and nor am I interested in continuing this one.
I do not much care whether you are continuing it or not. As I said if you are not prepared to back yourself that is completely on you.
Whether you choose to ignore something or not is entirely your own choice. Did I say you were "supposed to ignore" something? Did I say anything remotely similar? Is this a strawman?
You can react as you feel fit. This is Intensitysquared.
I did find it odd as to your reaction because you ascribed a lot of bullshit to something I wrote, without any intent of any of that. Again....it is like the "hey guys" phrase. Now it MAY offend or make the reader/listener think it is gender specific, BUT if the speaker/writer intended it to NOT be gender specific, then it does not much matter. One is presuming in a specific sense of what a word means and another in another way.
Here is the big question IF you believe I may have meant "ganging up" in a bad, nasty, bullying, and whatever other way. Then that is fine. If you read it in context that way. That too is fine. If you then questioned me as to this, that too is fine. If you then told me I meant it is a certain way You are an foolish because you do not know what I know and don't know in which way I meant it. If i tell you how I meant it and you are resist to appreciating that it was meant in a different way to to how you thought I meant it and you insist you know how I meant it, you are an idiot.
Where that places you exactly, I don't know. Probably on the sillier side of reasonable or towards idiotic. I don't know why you would imagine that to be a good idea.
Context alone should have broadcasted the situation rather loudly. We are at IntensitySquared. In IntensitySquared grizzling or arguing or debating is pretty standard. What MAY be considered bullying or nasty or whatever is not generally considered that here. In fact were i to highlight each of these occasions as bullying or nasty I would be making multiple reports some days and many of them on myself. So the sheer redundancy of me trying to draw attention to something being bullying or nasty is laughable.
At the time there were a few things going on and a few spates with multiple people joining in together. I think a callout with DFG and Some Bloke too. I do not mind people fighting on here generally nor others having callouts. I game no shits about Butterflies involvement nor gave her a hard time about this. I only mentioned this as a way of drawing attention and mocking Zegh for breaking his one month silent treatment.
There was nothing crafty nor clever in saying "ganging up".
I asked before, IF that phrase was "wrong" what phrase "should" I have used. You refuse to answer and so I will presume it was fine and you are making a big deal over fuck all. I got some great alternatives too.
