Something I should say more often

[MadMojoMonkey]

I have ideas. Why do you think?

The rest of my post is me explaining my point vis-a-vis your post I was responding to.

If I was attempting to persuade you guys, I would absolutely never post from this account again.

Do you think we're so blinded by your name that we don't take your words at their face value?
Do you think we're just "oh there goes wufwugy, wuffing it up again." and not responding to your stated ideas?

FWIW, I don't want to be that kind of person, so if you think I'm doing that, please feel invited call me out on it.

I'm here because I love and respect you guys and like having fun discussions (while learning more about you and myself too).

Sorry if I connected dots that don't directly connect...
like that one time when you posted a quote about BLM, then added a non-sequitur about broadly applicable human conditions, as if you are saying it's all proper and good to hold people in BLM to a higher / different standard than all of humanity.

But, then... what's your actual point?

What's your point when you post some comment and don't delete it, but tell people to ignore it?

How is that loving and respecting us?
'Cause that feels to me like some manipulation tactic, where you say something meant to incite a response, then pretend you didn't mean to say it when you obviously did mean to say it.
That comes across as the opposite of respectful, IMO. It comes across as a troll.

...face value?
.... stated ideas?

People don't take most things at face value because we're emotional beings with filters. Balancing a checkbook might be an example of when the filter is pure rational thought.

I posted the comment that I've experienced a lot of racism because I thought it might generate some interesting discussion on race.

After posting, I quickly remembered that I do not want my mind to fall into the trap of victimhood, so I wrote out the followup for my personal health mainly, and posted it.

I left them both up because they could generate interesting discussion on race and/or how to respond to racism.
