You were protecting me from a passing fancy. Got it. Thanks for keeping the fediverse safe.

What was the point of this reply?

You were being a bummer for no reason, to a real person who was just having a nice thought. This is to explain that mistake. Now I'm explaining the explanation and confirming it. Why does this conversation feel like packet handling protocol?

Ok, so there was a post suggesting that community service for mr trump was legitimately a good idea. I was rebutting that idea. If that makes me the asshole, I truly don't understand why. In retrospect, it wasn't your post that first suggested the idea, so I suppose I shouldn't have responded to that particular post.

I'm sorry reality is a "bummer" though, I don't disagree really. But I wasn't doing it deliberately to piss you off.
