• Art thou talking about us, or is that a “generic you” like a “royal we”?

    (because if thou are talking about me in particular, we hold no wish to keep up with thine baseless misplaced accusations)

        You replied to jarfil with the words “this post”, it isn’t clear if “this post” refers to jarfil’s comment or to the article itself. Also, the use of “You” leads the reader to imply that the “You” is jarfil, rather than “You” meaning ‘anyone who tells someone to withhold their vote for a political stance’.

        No, I was being funny… but now I’ll be crystal clear:

        • IF you were referring to a generic group, THEN say so and we’re fine, but you could have made it more clear.
        • IF you were accusing me of being a vote suppressionist, THEN explain precisely what lead you to that idea, and we can see where the misunderstanding came from.
        • ELSE, I will assume you’re not discussing in good faith (trolling as you say) and hit the block button.

        No hard feelings. 🕊
