A mild, late, spineless stand. But a stand. It makes me wonder how much longer this can go on before governments realise people are fed up of this.

I don’t how to break it to you but their post “dedicated” to you is just how they speak.

I think you’re safe on MN from being obsessed over.

In fairness I don’t think English is their first language, I’ve met a few people like that who write in a jerky style as their brains are having to translate as they go. I agree though it is odd that after no previous interactions they would post a rant like that!

What do you call it then when people are held without charge, to be exchanged when their demands are met?

You said it yourself- they are called people who are being held without charge.

They weren’t kidnapped on a certain day that was planned in advance with the express intention of being used for bargaining purposes.

I call suspects held without charge suspects held without charge. I call people abducted en masse after atrocities committed and held as bargaining tools hostages. Do we have to keep going over this, really?

No, they’re just kidnapped off the streets to be held for bargaining purposes.

Irrelevant if English is their first language or not.

If you’re talking about @EasyTouch I’ve seen their posts lots of times and always eloquent & often passionate in their arguments.

Does this mean all those 'don't speak to me/speak to me!' Posts I've had where a poster constantly quotes me mean they are dedicated to me 🤗

Yes aren’t you lucky?

Not wishing to blow my own trumpet but I’ve had a few dedications myself and I think we share one admirer 😊

Even when we are not on threads, they are talking about us. I suppose it gets pretty boring, just agreeing amongst yourselves.
