The suffering of the Sudanese may be off camera now, but it won't be in a few months when babies are starving en masse.

You're right. I remember that. And I didn't read the end of the quote. Apologies.

I was all pumped for the A15 protests at the time and I was really mad (still am). I wasn't saying not to reply, just not to tag or @ me.

Context: I've been mad at Spielberg for a while for glorifying war in Priv Ryan. I went into that comment thread with multiple sets of baggage. Apologies again for lashing out without taking in the content in an unbiased fashion. I take ownership when I make mistakes. Cheers.

Thanks for the apology, it's all good. Glad I can stop avoiding replying to you in my threads.

I am really bad at not backspacing over the pre-populated tag though. Doesn't help that I interact a fair bit with people from Mastodon on here and they tend to use it. Also kbin thread displays can be confusing so the tags help me keep track of the conversation in big threads.

So, yeah I'll try to not tag you but if I ever do start annoying you, do block me.
