Once again, I'm having a bad day....

But why is everyone so fucking academic on this board?

I can't engage with anything or anyone. Who is going to stand up for ordinary women if specialist knowledge is required even in a thread about safe spaces?

It's so depressing.

Yep, I don't know if you've seen my reply to you, but we clearly just bumped heads at the wrong time for both of us. You're fine, I've just had an extremely stressful day and was a bit hair trigger and misread your posts as snarky. It happens, sadly, because a) I'm human and fuck up and b) snarky trolling is a feature here and it can create hyper vigilance which isn't nice for anyone.

So, please, accept my unqualified apology for being an arsehole. But well done for deleting Twitter. It's a time sucking hell hole of nonce apologism and misogyny, you're better off without it.

I think having seen the exchange that there were crossed wires with both of you. Neither of you said anything wrong, I think you just rubbed each other up the wrong way.

Don't worry about it. It's not you, as such, it's just the way that this board has been targeted over and over by those who are not posting in good faith, those who are after screenshots to paint the board in a bad light and those who are targeting regular posters in an attempt to get them banned. Makes people lack trust. I think this is understandable. Don't take it personally.

Is it about trans stuff?

OP, the women here are amazing but sometimes can be a bit wary due to disingenuous posters in the past. What can we help with? I will help explain if I can?

I can't really ask

I get jumped on for being disingenuous or some such and I know there's good reason to suspect trolls here but it still gets old. This will be probably be pulled but it was asking if I was being snarky after I failed to understand something a few times. No, I'm just really that thick apparently.

Possibly it's had a good result because I've deactivated my Twitter account lest I make a fool of myself among feminists who know me IRL.

OP what issues are bothering you?

Milanimilani · 07/10/2019 22:05

I go academic when I feel nervous. Its a big personality fault. You don’t have to feel stupid. Just when something doesn’t make sense, ask.

Pagwatch · 07/10/2019 21:18

I’m thick as fuck. Talk to me

HeyDuggeesCakeBadge · 07/10/2019 21:17

I'm not. What's wrong?
