this is rat scum rhetoric in any situation and you should absolutely know better, demanding people either out their activism on a public forum with a litany of Sufficiently Paid Dues or stay silent. i wasn't excited to get involved in this argument turning over for the 8 millionth time but what the fuck?

I disagree that what I said is "silencing" to anyone, I also don't agree that this is an "argument"
why it wasn't a terrible misadventure in sex tourism at all, it was just old man tpaine trying to scare us!
and he would have gotten away with it too, if it weren't for those darn kids!

I dunno exactly why I feel compelled to share this, but people fuck up and do immoral things but I don't think that excludes them from being political associates for time immemorial.
I would miss bhpn posts
Still nobody has answered the question of what they need to do?
I guess the solution is never do anything bad, but if you do don't post about it or post any personal info
your honor, i believe the comments in question were made before the zzone mandated voluntary celibacy from all of its members

Guess I can't say anything without it being used against me. If you don't want me to post here just say so because I am also inclined to not post here. So far this place hasn't affected my real life but I know it's only a matter of time when colddays says "on and off the rhizzone" and most of the people here seem happy to sell me out. And yes, threatening to leave is really the only option left when self-criticism becomes a bludgeon since bullying lives on both passive acceptance and active resistance. Guess my parents have to make me switch schools.
huey i hope you dont leave.

there's a sacrament for that. that way when the priest tells him to post a lengthy self-criticism on the rhizzone as penance he'll get heaven points for it.

what STIs did you get?
