Alrighty then. By the way, I don't even know where the recording would've come from.

It's tragically comedic in an existential way that people could see something that does so much as be titled "so-and-so uses a prerecorded AI voice" and people don't question them about it and just assume "someone put that there and applied it to someone, so it must be true", almost like people came into the conflict ready to take one side seriously and the other side not seriously. That's almost like the old trick kids do where they write their names on the wall with a pen (or graffiti if it's outdoors) and watch as whoever is in charge assumes the culprit must be the person whose name was written on the wall. That's where much of the engagement here comes from. For a lack of a better word, it's existential.

Yeah, when I explain it that way, it does kind of sound like a strawman. I have, in response to this, set myself up to answer questions from my perspective in a way I thought would be amicable, but nobody ever obliges. They just see the strawmen and the attacks which try to inspire assumptions. I don't go out of my way to "use" people, but for people who so easily find themselves accusing others of "manipulation", this kind of bias comes off as highly manipulatable.

I'm a woman (cisgender) and I can kind of relate. If I know someone as nice and understanding, I of course feel more of the fear in how things can go wrong, especially considering there are a lot of things about me where people jump to conclusions if they learn about. I wouldn't call it an abnormal feeling. Ironically it has helped me to know parallels in the other person when they come up, not to use as a motive to go after them but to know it's not one-sided and that it's all mutual. If you ever need anything, I'm always here for you.

That's the thing though. The majority of how the claims describe me don't correctly describe me. There are some that exaggerate, some that take things out of context, and some that deal with guilt I had in the past but which I've realized the guilt of, made up for, and learned from. I am not above fault, there's just no epiphany of fault I feel pending at this time.

May I remind you the majority of it is years-old? The individual, meanwhile, is one of those known to chase me around trying to make attacks towards me for the sake of it, and them coming onto the scene wasn't years ago. Whether they're accurate of a measure of fault or not, if I can't leave things behind to honor rules in new places without being given disciplinary action for those interactions, what would the point be?

An ad hominem is specifically only when someone uses a personal attack to attempt to directly refute your argument.

And randomly claiming or bringing up the authenticity of what they think was said to be someone's voice (as a form of a comeback) doesn't fall under that?

instantly freeze up

You become frozen out in the cold that fast?

The fact this is all slander (aside from the doxxing parts) aside, I haven't even broken any rules on-site, whether community ones or TOS.

Oh that's what it was. I thought maybe it was like a really tall building or something, like those ski slopes they have in Dubai because they don't know where to put all their money.

It's alright, you corrected it.

Thanks, friend.

Also, I'm she/her if anyone was wondering.

I mean, they did just come by just to attack me. I've dealt with this everywhere (not just in the fediverse) and they joined literally yesterday after their previous name (they admit that's them) was confronted.

How do I come across as if I am?

How are you communicating with everyone?

But that's the point. There are those who will accuse others of not being able to read if they disagree with all the hoopla, as if to imply the accusation fits even when the other perspective is unread.

In all the times I've been to Buffalo, I didn't know they had a Scientology center.

So is that a no to quoting a part to discuss/prove how it's deceptive, or looking into both perspectives of the issue, as the literate people we like to think of ourselves as? We shouldn't find ourselves equating the simple act of elaborating on something with "digging a hole deeper and deeper", especially in cases where the response I am getting dodges the question in the first place.

What caused it?

Why?

Why do you feel sorry for that? There's a reason I made a point in my original interactions to specify Nazism (and Elon Musk) as condemnable.

That would certainly be the people engaging with me in a nutshell.
