Its a shame because they're prominent voice on lemmy. Good on the admins for not tolerating this. I don't understand the point of targeting a person you don't like on the internet just because they said something that upset you and spamming their post with downvotes. If you don't like someone block their ass and be done with it. I agree with the perspective that its harassment (and an incredibly petty ineffective form of it at that)
So I said "Hey here's what I think"
And so then you said "well you're WRONG because here's what I think instead"
So far so good
And then I said "Well I have reasons for what I think and you seem to be just shouting your opinion and only that so it seems like I win"
And then you said "HOW DARE YOU HERE'S WHAT I THINK YOU'RE BEING UNFAIR"
And then I got even more sarcastic about it and now you are hurt because of it
It's understandable I guess. I still think that opinion + reasons is better than just OPINION OPINION OPINION even if I do grasp that you might have had different experiences than I have had and so different perspectives to bring to bear. Like I say you are refusing to elaborate even in the slightest which I feel like is a fair thing to ask you to do if you're going to call another human being a "twat."
All good, you're free to block me if the sarcasm is overly hurtful, I do do that sometimes.
