Yeah, and if you look further down, you’ll see I was ignorant of that until another commenter informed me, then I changed my tune accordingly.
Regardless, there was nothing preemptive on my end. “Preemptive” means taking preventive action in anticipation of something possible in the future. I was reactive; I saw the content removal as morally wrong, and reacted with a small personal protest (which, granted, I didn’t edit out of my original comment, but have since rescinded). Nothing preemptive about it.
Yes, and so was the removal of jirard from sea of stars. Reacting to the knowledge that jirard mishandled his charity. Thats why it was funny. Because you mislabeled what they did while doing the same thing they did.
Im sorry, I didnt think that part needed spelling out.
EDIT: I think I finally understand. You must’ve forgotten what your original reply said. Here it is:
Its kinda funny to criticize someone for supposed preemptive action by yourself making a preemptive action.
That doesn’t jive with this in your most recent comment:
Because you mislabeled what they did while doing the same thing they did.
I hate to argue semantics - that’s a lie; I actually love it, but I know most people hate it - but while the latter quote is correct in the context of my misguided li’l protest (I mislabeled a simple reaction as preemptive, then I made a simple reaction), it’s an incorrect explanation of the “humorous observation” - that I mislabeled a simple reaction as preemptive, then I made a preemptive action.
I understand that appearing intelligent is probably very important to you, so you really should make more of an effort to reread your posts when somebody calls out a mistake you’ve made, rather than dig your heels in.
Jesus, you care about votes on lemmy? Im sorry to hear that bud
Ive repeated myself so many different ways for you, to help you grok the sentence everyone else got the first time. Its very cute you think the same concept reworded for you in different ways is what lying is.
Are you this big a dickrider for jirard? Or did I accidentally step on an insecurity of yours? If I did I promise it wasnt on purpose

Semantics are fun!

Still not preemptive, though. Do you seriously not understand what the word means? I even gave you an armchair definition in my last comment.

Learning from our mistakes is how we grow.
Adding an edit hours after my comment is cute, but adding an edit where you detail misunderstanding my first comment is adorable.
Yeah, I started to edit then got distracted. I have a life.
Do you get some satisfaction out of constantly lying? Or are you truly that dense? Either way, I suppose there’s no point in continuing this.
You got more upvotes than me, so I guess that means you win. Your mother must be so proud.
