I’m not saying i love the ham sandwich, but I hate meat. I’m saying I love the ham sandwich, but I hate that the plate is lined with razor blades. I’m saying I’m not completely opposed to more delicious ham sandwiches in the future, but only when I’m sure you’ve stopped using razor blade plates because I have a concern you’d start putting razor blades right in the sandwiches. I can’t engage these sandwiches, no matter how much I enjoy them, while they’re just a way for you to hide razor blades so that I pick them up and cut myself.

You can have issues with my wardening and we can still work together, but you won’t tell me what the problems are or what you want me to do about them. Just tell me what the problem is, Walter, and what you want me to do about it. Honestly. Plainly. Not in allusions or pop culture references or puzzles or riddles. Just tell me. And if you’re not ready to come out of the House of Implying Things you’ve built so that you always have plausible deniability to hide behind, then I can wait.

Well, I told you that you should lock sensitive posts to a small trusted group, and technically I wouldn't know if that had happened, but given your reaction to the suggestion I have to assume you didn't do that I certainly can know that you've continued going out of your way to troll inmates and former inmates and their friends when the crisis isn't even happening anymore, as much as I told you not to do that either "Don't tell me I could have poked a vampire in the eye" was a total freebie you also managed to whiff somehow So. Yeah? These weren't coy little implications, dude.

I don't troll people. How was trying to give you ideas to defend yourself some sort of dig or... whatever you're implying by calling it a 'freebie'? How was responding to continuing verbal abuse in kind trolling? Is it a high point of my life not to rise above it? No. But a person gets tired of it, eventually, and sometimes I just can't deal with it anymore and why should I have to? I don't go out of my way to get in fights with people. I told you why I posted an open call for help and advice when I found Abel and Hilbert. But I also told you that I got the advice I was looking for, which means next time I don't have to make an open call. Next time, if something of that ilk happens again, I do know who to call directly. But at the time, I didn't, so I also think I did the right thing for that situation with the information that I had. It's not what I would do in the next such situation. So.... yeah. If you need to assume that everything I say and do is some attempt at making other people suffer intentionally, you've literally gotten nothing out of our conversations that you didn't make up so that the narrative you're spinning for yourself here has a villain.

No, you didn't tell me that! it's great news! really don't get why you told me MY suggestion to have a plan for who to call SUCKED Bye. Cross your fingers for a flood where you find out your actual role.

...When did I say your suggestion sucked? ......When did you make a suggestion??

It's nice to have *proof* you didn't even care what I had to say about your thrilling little confidential investigations! BYE.

From:

abrightboy

.......Wait. When you were telling me to stop talking and that I was embarrassing you in public and asked why I didn't just call specific people... you're mad that I answered the question instead of taking it as a suggestion to do that next time? Well someone suggested it for next time way before you offered your "feedback", so if you ever speak to me again, here's an idea to avoid misunderstanding: if you think I should do something different next time, say "I think that next time you should do this." Because all you did was give me crap for what I did last time.
