Are you voting for Joseph Kishore?
No, I’m pretty sure we’ve been over this, but since you are asking me again, I am happy to mention that I’m voting for Jill Stein.
And remember when you agreed that you support and respect my right to vote for whoever I want?
And that’s why we are friends. Because you respect the American rights that we all have. And we both agreed on that.
We’re still cool with each other, right?
I asked you a question in relation to the article you posted.
I don’t know why you’re getting angry or accusing me of not respecting your rights to vote for a candidate that some people call a spoiler candidate.
I’m not angry at all. So I’m not sure what you’re implying.
And I didn’t accuse you of not respecting my right to vote for the candidate I believe in.
In fact, just the opposite. I was actually appreciating the fact that you support and respect my rights as a voter.
I think diverse political viewpoints are what makes this America, and this Lemmy community, so awesome.
I can’t help but notice you downvoting my comments.
I’m not sure what you mean?
It feels like you’re trying to suppress my opinions and not respect my choice of who I vote for.
Oh gosh, I would never do that. I know what it’s like to have people try to do that. Hence, the reason I would never do that.
In fact, I have told you several times that I respect your right to vote for whoever you want. As you respect that I vote for whoever I want.
Please re-read my previous replies to you in this very thread, and see where I even complimented you on that fact. Mutual respect is the basis of good conversation. And knowing that you respect my choices (as I respect yours), even if you don’t agree with them, is what makes this community so awesome!
People can say one thing and do another and I feel like that is what is happening right now.
I thought I saw you got banned in the mod log. I guess it was temporary? What happened?
Immediately unbanned because they realized that I wasn’t spamming or trolling. Guess they did their research?
They did ban one of the guys who was being uncivil to me and trolling me hard, false reporting and falsely accusing me of stuff, though!
So go check the modlog again if you want.
And I totally missed all of it, cuz I was at work. lolol
I don’t think the mod log said it was for spamming or trolling…
Oh ok, then I guess they found out that I wasn’t abusing the reporting button, and that I was actually helping the community by reporting people who try to make this place toxic.
Wow - they suspected you of abusive reporting?
Right?
I wonder who would have tried to make them think that, before they found out that it wasn’t true? Like wasn’t there someone who tried to imply that I was reporting people for being uncivil, but that person didn’t seem to read the room correctly and felt that the people attacking me weren’t uncivil.
Now I can’t remember that person’s username. Hmmm…do you have any idea?
In the end, I guess it doesn’t matter. No reason to name and shame.
Because it was quickly discovered that I DID NOT engage in abusive reporting. So no ban!
I guess a win for the community and a win for those of us who want to keep this community diverse and engaging.
So it’s a good thing for this place. I love that this place believes in a community that celebrates diverse viewpoints, as long as they stay respectful.
How many posts did you have to report to make them think that? It must have been a LOT!
