    Oh lordy, ever have one of those moments when you know you’re about to do something dumb, but do it anyway? Well, I would ask that you folks stop for a moment, and observe this situation from an outsider’s perspective. From where I sit, this very thread right here looks like a harassment campaign.

      To an outsider’s perspective you read like someone with an agenda trying to muddy the waters. No one who has even the most passing understanding of what a harassment campaign is or looks like would see this thread and think that’s what’s going on here. People justifiably laughing at some bozo who put them on an undesirables list because they said things he didn’t like is not harassment. Wherever you’re “sitting,” it is definitely not from some neutral third party position like you’re implying, so stop making a fool out of yourself by pretending it’s the dozens of the rest of the commenters here who are saying things they’d look back on with regret and self-cringe, instead train that “outsider’s perspective” into a mirror.

      When you comment on someone’s public actions in a public forum that’s a harassment campaign? Do words mean anything to you or are they solely weapons to be used against your enemies?

        Yes, the reflexive “allies and enemies” framing of the situation does reinforce the image of a harassment campaign.

          I don’t think you’ve understood the meaning of my comment. And I think anything anyone could possibly say to you would be reinterpreted / disinterpreted to fit the image of a “harassment campaign” since that’s what you’ve already determined the situation is about.
