6. Obviously directed here, to post.

Then some group thinks they will be able to use that information against what it is intended for.

And they rack up debt when they do that.

To worry about such a thing is an attempt to get you to be silent. If they were to take some comment and use it against what it is about, by highlighting blockers, and not actually seeing what is said.

Then the debt they pile up is well worth that.

To think someone can steal something is used to try and get a person to be silent. If someone steals some idea or thought in a post, without proper attribution, and showing the idea within its original context with attribution, it will only hurt their attempts.

:hi:

Considering I am still due beer and travel money, and many experiences, and considering many consolidations have not been broken up, those very actions are going to lead to some severe repercussions for the groups that do those things.


And they know that since the correlations are across multiple outputs, in multiple temporal sequences. So thinking it is about some choice of where to post, or thinking someone is going to be able to manipulate something, is just a form of fear or lack of understanding of what will be.

23. Recent events brought me back after a few years
And I notice there's less of the classist sexist regionalist bigotry that drove me away back in the day around now. Was there some cleaning out of the trolls at one point?

24. Unfortunately, no
It's just that off late we've had Cairo, Lybia and Madison, WI to rally behind. We're better when we're busy. Idle hands and all that.
