Yesterday, someone I talked to on here, got banned. This is someone who made unfair claims and a ludicrous move to badmouth CoSo on Twitter. This is also someone who carries a lot of trauma and who is emotionally not all that stable and who lashed out. It could've been me: I carry a lot of trauma, I am emotionally not stable, and I have lashed out before. I wonder if instead of grace, I will be met with a ban if I act out because I am wounded.
@publickovacs that whole scenario makes me very sad. it seems that she felt that science and education were being attacked per se, which is true of some MAGA minions. unfortunately, something gave her that idea here, and it flipped a gestalt, so to speak, where suddenly everything said seemed to be aimed at belittling her.
her education in science and her faith in those cultural goods seemed threatened, both critical to her.
she couldn't handle that and struck out. may she recover balance 🙏🏻
@holon42
That is a special ache that comes with this. I am sorry.
@publickovacs perhaps we will do better next time. there's a lot of emotional problems around these days. a tv ad 🇨🇦 said that 1 in 4 suffer from acute anxiety now. not surprising, but very concerning.
my shrink concurs. his practice is fully booked way ahead.
@publickovacs sorry, yes. it's a failure. not anyone's fault, but nonetheless. i'm sorry we missed it.
@publickovacs you're welcome. i watched this happen helplessly. i'm bipolar so i know how those thought triggers an escalate into hallucinatory realms. i'm really sad we couldn't prevent it.
