Wondering if we can apply concepts from Meyers Briggs personality tests here. I have def read some unfortunate stuff here that triggers me as a minority. However - that's just the internet for you. You're going to see shit you don't like. My approach is to just deal with it. It's the world and it's reality. I guess I can be that way because in Meyers Briggs terms I'm not much of a feeling type. I instead rationalize what I'm seeing, why I'm seeing it, and then decide how much I want to let it get to me. For other types, especially the more feeling types, it's going to get to you. We can see that here. In the past I've reached out to ltg to sort of advise that he take my approach - don't engage the obvious trolls/troglodytes, just move on. Engage the more serious types with whom you can reason. He hasn't taken that approach and that's totally fine. At one time I seriously considered creating a mult called "I'm a LTG troll, Don't Respond," or something like that, just to troll ltg and simultaneously make a point to him. I fully expected him to respond to that mult. And in doing so I sincerely hoped he'd learn something about himself.
But by now I just think ltg is extraordinarily emotional and also incorrigible. So it is what it is. There's no point to this post other than to offer an interpretation of what I'm seeing. Carry on.
Let me say this without seeming connotatively speaking "victimized" for a second. It's easy to say "ignore" anything when you are not directly a target of the bullshit which requires you to ignore something.. When a right wing bigot says something overtly bigoted, people here have no problem with ever "igmoring" it for some reason. Not necessarily a strange or odd reason given the personnel by the way. However whenever there is a response to it, then the pitchfork carrying defenders around here are always at the ready to defend the bigot. That has always been my experience here.
You are never directly the target and if one person targets you the "herd" never has. Thus it's easy to say simply ignore it. Ignoring it does nothinf but give bigots a pass, which I'd suggest is the goal of MANY around here. It shouldn't always be imperative for me to ignore the "bigots" and their collection of enablers either. "Ignoring" is a two way street. If I give an opinion about something shouldn't they be able to ignore me too? Have they ever really demonstrated that they can around here? We both know the answer to that don't we?
