From what I can see you’re a mod of a different community, not this one. This isnt “US news” where you are a mod, right? You are also not an admin for all of beehaw. So I dont see how you can claim the authority of being a mod in this exchange. I won’t be coming to US news on beehaw where you actually are a mod.

So it seems to me that you and I are just two people talking.

Choose to escalate or dont. But after that how about you leave me alone and keep your supposed well meaning advice to yourself? Your supposed mod-edness and your opinion of Blinken dont interest me and you’re just bullying.

OK, well you know the drill Pete, report it, get a mod to study our exchange, and get it handled. I’m ready to be judged.

Not an ad hom. Delivery and style of messaging is fair game in debates is it not, as long as I dont go after your character. As is questioning who you are quoting. If I opened a post quoting a different war criminal, say Hitler, Stalin, or Pol Pot, I’d expect someone would call that out, and I wouldnt cry “Ad hom! ad hom!, help! I’m being oppressed!”

And it came up in my feed. What can you do. There are no rules on "necro"ing are there? If there are please let me know, I will follow official rules.

I think you’re just sore that I think quoting Blinken is … problematic to put it mildly. Take my feedback or leave it, its all the same to me buddy.

I will say I think your trying to flex rules on me and claim an adhom is not very impressive. You can do better than that cant you? Why not try to defend your actual point instead?

Starting the post with ‘Blinken said this’ or ‘Blinken said that’ is not exactly a great way to start because Blinken belongs in the Hague in chains for abetting crimes against humanity.

Any other war criminals you’d like to quote in your intro OP?

Daylight savings time needs to be gotten rid of.

The imperial measurement standard needs to be gotten rid of.

The UN security council veto should be able to be overridden by the general assembly.

Collective responsibility for a democracy’s crimes should be a thing.

The country of Israel should be moved to an open area of land with no people on it. Siberia, Alaska, Greenland, or the jungles of South America.

There should be a corporate death penalty when they commit crimes.

All kids should have food.

All humans should have access to very basic water and food. Like beans and rice for everyone, no exceptions.

Basic sanitation is a human right.

Religion should not be respected any more than any other bag of philosophical ideas. Stupid parts of religions should be called out and discussed, not hallowed and treated with respect even if its utter nonsense.

I was about to comment and correct the poster that it was called a nipple, but you are correct. its a clit.

I’d pay extra to not have to deal with the TSA as well.

Well the IDF better launch an investigation into this, right away. Or else.

They are drawing very stern looking frowney faces on the weapon shipping crates. VERY stern.

We have to wait for ‘history’ to handle this for us, huh.

Biden’s attempt to help with Israel’s ethnic cleansing failed, but he did try.
