    Hey, I get it. The internet is full of trigger words, and implied meanings behind them. We try and say things on the internet against a dictionary backdrop full of hidden meanings, and people fight in the corners about what those meanings are. It’s like trying to send a messenger through no-mans land in WW1.

    I don’t know how it all came to this, where everyone fights about every little nuance in wording, but it’s tiring (not pointing fingers at you). Why can’t people just have a normal conversation, and give others the benefit of the doubt? Again, not directed at you. I just miss people having honest conversations online, without it devolving into slapfights. Everyone is SO dug into their opinions.

    I’m showing my age, aren’t I?
