Thanks to @th3j35t3r
It's that kind of bullshit that used to infuriate me at Birdland.
One of the things I'm most grateful for here is people can disagree with me, but they're real people with their own real ideas and opinions - not bots and sockpuppets doing it to sway opinion, not trolls doing it just to be assholes because they're looking for a fight.
The closer we get to '24, the uglier it will get on some SocMed sites. But not here.
Thanks, J!
