came here to ask if there were any good mullets. i stand here fully shamed.

yeah i don’t bro either. i got the DM for my downvote.

lo siento, pero no hablo idoma chino.

this is really THAT hill for you isn’t it?

i wish i could understand but i just don’t.

also you keep saying that the piefed DM reply isn’t working properly but you just quoted my reply to your DM, ‘ban me bro’

i want to be kind and see where you’re coming from, but it looks like you’re not being honest with us, so that’s hard to do.

i would have re-assessed my understanding of how the word was being used on a case by case basis rather than attempting to globally regulate its use. i would definitely refrain from punishing people for their votes. i would suggest that you not look at people’s votes. it’s not going to help you be a better mod or a healthier human.

upon inspection it’s clear that the ‘bro’ in question is just a figure of speech intended to colloquialize the comment, and is not an adversarial or confrontational usage.

think of it like the other common online terms like ‘my brother in christ,’ or perennial favorite, ‘internet stranger.’

people use words like this as social crutches in the same fashion as FAFO, LOL, haha, and all the others.

this whole dumb debacle just reminds me of the phrase “YOUR religion doesn’t prohibit ME from doing anything.’

i hope you can find some peace and are able to reopen your community soon. maybe you can find another mod that can help guide you through the ones that are harder to resolve.

disagree all you like but they doesnt make it accurate.

i can’t stand the phrase “fuck around and find out”, or using the word “aesthetic” as an adjective, but people are going to say stupid shit and i can’t fix that. i have to live with being wrong in all my wrongness, i don’t try to bend the world to my admittedly asinine views. i just sit here and cringe in private.

you pretty clearly stated that i received the DM because of my down vote.

dude, you threatened to ban me for a fuken downvote. what kinda shit is that?

you’re not giving chances to find common ground, you’re throwing the ban hammer around like a toddler in a tantrum.

sorry. you can be a bro. and you can be a bro. everyone can be a bro.

yep i got. one last night (bro).

i guess he’s making bros out of all of us. and i’m of a mind that sisters can be bros as well.
