And this illustrates that I’m a mark how exactly?

See, all I did was point out how everyone is so smugly up their own asses that they feel they can persecute anyone and anything to the point that no one should be bothered to try and do anything even remotely helpful- lest they be publicly shamed for not doing enough, or not doing it as the hive-mind thinks they should….

… and somehow, this makes me a mark?

Fucking hilarious.

Defending a famous, rich, rape apologist whose organization is doing more for hurting legal sex work than helping solve illegal sex trafficking is kind of mark behavior.

To me, when a person shows their true colors, I automatically need to assume their past actions had ulterior motives.

I just tried to explain what I thought the commenter was saying. He was being glib, and a little derisive. In any case, you play the same game and I can read your frustrations clearly. You justifiably tried to defend your position, but chose the wrong way of doing it.

I recommend taking a break a few days from comment section, even social media. Just get it out of your head for a while, try to find balance again. Social media can be very provocative and even infuriating at times. But it doesn't help you to fight passive aggressive statements with aggressive statements.

In any case, I hope you take care of yourself and that you are well.
