@schrodingerscig This all happened two months ago.
In regards to Macha, someone asked? And Macha herself was bringing it up in DMs to strangers?
There’s a few examples throughout the thread. But reading back I saw someone get scolded for asking questions that somehow was taken as bait, so I guess it’s not worth enumerating. I get a good enough sense reading the multiple accounts about these people being brought up.
Was really just a musing about why people are talking about things that happened 10 or so years ago, is all. It seems (at least to me) that there is a ton of finger pointing all around, from a clique, at a clique, near a clique, at a clique that doesn’t exist, etc.
I’m not sure what the value is of all of it, I guess. But maybe I shouldn’t go chasing threads about Bannings and just stick to the rivers and the lakes that I’m used to.

Could you point me to an example – a quote would be preferred – of where something from ten years ago was mentioned without the context of “it is also happening right now or happened within the last six months”? I am not attempting to be aggressive or rude or scold, I am genuinely asking for you to point at what you are talking about.
Otherwise, the answer to your question is still: because it’s not just ten years ago, it started ten years ago, and continues in the ‘right now’. That’s the answer to your question.
If somebody spit in my food ten years ago, and then spit in my food again yesterday, I am well within my rights to mention the first time when I bring up the second. It’s not unreasonable, weird, or problematic even a little bit. It is appropriate and normal socialized human behavior.

@schrodingerscig I’ll cop to holding grudges like nobody’s business, but as @Meg and @IoleRae have noted, the incidents that have been discussed in this thread are, at most, 2 months old. Many of them are much fresher than that.

I was responding to a prior comment while you were offering your response, but because I hit submit it appears as if it came after yours. I’m not fast enough to keep up with these conversations.
I guess really my fundamental question was “why does all of it get brought up in the first place” not so much “why is it justifiable to talk about”, but it’s too hard not to conflate the two and I can’t type fast enough to have my response to one comment appear above the two or three other responses talking about other points.
My apologies for bringing it up at all, I’ll just go back to lurking. Safer that way.

Because some humans have treated other humans very, very poorly, and they are reacting to having been treated poorly by warning the other humans about what happened? It’s not weird to talk about it when somebody does terrible things and hurts you, then goes on to target a different group of people within your line of sight?

This is really rude.
-
@schrodingerscig fair enough. Have a good lurk, whoever you are.

I WOULD JUST LIKE TO SAY I was maybe going to shoulder-devil @GF into doing a thing, but decided against it. I AM GROWING AS A PERSON… and also, I am distracted by my Conspiracy Board I have to write to keep track of all my ArxClues.

Weh?

@GF I was going to go ‘hey go do this petty thing’ but decided against doing so.
Mummy Pun? MUMMY PUN!

Don’t do petty things. Not worth it. Better things to focus on!
-
@Jennkryst Ah, gotcha. I think I still remember the petty thing in question.
-
Now I am curious to what the petty thing is.
-
@GF THIS petty thing is like… an hour old, different from the Petty Thing you were thinking about, I’m sure. BUT STILL. Best not.
-
Petty things feel way better when you imagine them than when you do them.

@Tez I try to tell this to myself every time I am feeling petty but I like doing petty things.
-
@icanbeyourmuse You and me both.

…like the inherent pettiness of making an account to prod at the people who were thrown out of your special club and had the audacity to make one of their own?
-
@GF Haha. Jenn told me on Discord. Definitely a petty thing.

I allow myself to be petty on occasion.
A few weeks ago, my dog pooped on the curb right outside where my former neighbors were parked. I got beef with them, so I left the turd.
It was petty.
I’m not sorry.
(thank you @tsar, have i told you how i hope they do a deadpool/venom crossover??? i really hope they do a deadpool/venom crossover!!!)
