Tried to suggest somebody having a shit time on birbhell maybe not go to birbhell. Moderator said "there's no safe space on the internet" Tried to reframe it as a choice about safer spaces, got told I was making unfair assumptions. Tried to apologize for causing hurt, got ignored. Tried to clarify, got blown off. Tried to apologize for miscommunication, got told "that's not a real apology." Said I didn't think there was more I could offer, got accused of gaslighting the moderator.

So that's why I didn't get any writing done today.

But I did get the trying-to-die bush in the front yard dug up, so that's progress. It's not the progress I wanted to make, but it's something.

@literorrery tbh it kinda sounds like somebody had a chip to grind on their shoulder (something like that). that sounds really frustrating and upsetting, and I'm sorry you had to deal with it. :|
