Huh.

Now I'm confused. It was asserted very confidently to me that this has been thing since "at least" when a current 24 year old was in elementary school, but the trend appears to have originated in 2018. how can a 24 year old adult in 2024 have been in elementary school in 2018? By my count, she would be 18. (I apologize sincerely if she was, in fact, still in elementary school at 18 years old. There's nothing wrong with that, it just makes that framing confusing.)

Something isn't adding up here, mathwise. I'm now not convinced I deserved the level of vitriol I received in defense of something that isn't even true based on something I never said in the first place.

#I don't want to start shit.#but I admire this person for sticking to firm boundaries about respectful engagement #and you know what?#their behavior towards me was disrespectful and unwarranted.#even if I was wrong and they were right about the blue pumpkin thing.#I just wanted to correct the record on that in case anyone else was wondering.#now I'm really going to sleep.#Hopefully all of us will be cooler and more objective in the morning.#I don't hold aggression or vindictiveness against him #I just. would like to be treated with respect.#(re I don't hold feelings of aggression or vindictiveness towards the person)#we're all on edge #and I hope that you understand that I can say “hey this was hurtful and uncalled for” isn't an attack it's just. the truth.#sorry again for the compulsive overexplaining #this just happened to hit my exact triggers which is nobody's fault except the asshole who abused me 15 years ago #I'm genuinely not angry I'm just hurt and confused #don't buy from nerdykeppie #revise: admired #past tense
