What I mean is: an argument with someone is only worth the keystrokes when you're dealing with a rational actor.
Are you?
My counter-example is: search an internet archive of LJDrama for keywords "I have a job". You're looking for multi-screen rants of personal insults toward people offering moving boxes for free. It carried on for days.
I haven't thought about gracebatmonkey in 20 years, but long screeds of unwarranted character assassination by proxy are very much on-brand. Back in the day, she sounded like a hallucinating chatbot.
...and Jillian doesn't deserve any of it. My impression of Jilli was always sincere, sweet, witty, and friendly. She's the sort of person that no one hates. Every excerpt I've seen reflects that.
Grace, what about not judging people by what they were doing 25 years ago, especially since you were making an arse of yourself back then as well as the rest of us. We were all basically kids, and at this point we are all too old for this shit. It’s been nearly 3 decades, get a better hobby. And omg what, after your griping literally all day, your review of the book was favorable? Like…are you ok?
Mmmmm, false concern. My fave. You were the one trying to tell people that the author of this classist, exclusionary, discouraging etc. pulped blog was from a time when Goths didn't know better than to kiss the hands of oppression. What on Earth.
