Really good points. And worth considering. However, I stand by what I wrote. Your argument about "wording" is, in my opinion, inappropriate for our situation.

Really good points. And worth considering.
However, I stand by what I wrote. Your argument about "wording" is, in my opinion, inappropriate for our situation. We need to be stand up people, to take a position one way or another.
Arguing that the issue of of pro-democracy and Twitter are not related is your stand. You down voting, whether in the guise of talking about "snubbing" or "wording" - is you taking a stand.
I stand against the things that Twitter has now come to represent. You stand in a different place.
- Dylan16807 2y agoI am definitely taking a stand that you can be pro democracy and also reference twitter. Especially in posts that were made five years ago. Note that I didn't say they're "unrelated". But it's quite a weak relation in this case. You're reducing things to a extreme level of binary thinking and taint by association. Insisting that people take a position "one way or the other" is too reductive. I also stand against the things Twitter has now come to represent, despite not expressing it the exact same way you do.
