Do you have anything else to add but more seething rage? You brought up Godwin's law first there. Was that because of some guilty conscience about the edgy contrarian character cliches you stan for that needs to be buried under more smug Reddity zingers?
I really doubt they were taking their other conversation that seriously and I don't think you need to either
Scroll up.
See how they reacted to my mirthful humor-intended comment, meme face and all, about the dubiousness of the writer-contrived "reformed" character mentioned.
Play enlightened mediator all you want but you responded to my post in particular, 16 hours later.

This does not read as mirthful, it just seems like a mean-spirited, dismissive misrepresentation of their position . Sorry for bringing up what you said yesterday
To me, neither does this:
Hypocrisy is super common among people that wave around pretenses of enlightened mediation, so I'm not surprised. Playing the "mean spirited" card while selectively ignoring the escalating petty hostility from the other poster isn't surprising either.
I'd rather just move on. If some edgy fan wants to stan for edgy characters from what might be the worst of recent Trek shows, I can't stop them. What I said about what I see as red flags is only highlighted by that exchange, and will further advise me any time I see another edgy fan stanning for the Terran Empire or the like.
Their reply was after your facetious comment with the meme face. Have you considered they were trying to meet your energy?
All of this hinges on your belief that my meme-faced comment, loaded with space-this and space-that word choices, was insufficiently mirthful.
You're taking this exchange way too seriously.
That's OK. You should really consider if your comments are being misunderstood as dismissive instead of "mirthful" and how you can clarify that. Can always be better at communicating
Take your own advice there. You have failed to persuade me and have come across as condescending and sanctimonious while also obviously picking a side while pretending to be a neutral mediator.
No.
I originally wrote, as per the OP, about what I saw as red flags with Trek fans, and that exchange (and this one) have only reinforced how I feel about Terran Empire and Section 31 stans and apologists, no matter how an edgy character in Discovery might have felt bad after the fact after making some friends.
Ok, I do! I never meant to be neutral, I just thought you were getting worked up over a misunderstanding. Good luck with being mirthful and dazzling and all
You keep replying, all while trying to emphasize how very not mad you surely are with your passive aggressive fuming.
The point of this thread was red flags from toxic fans. You're only signaling your exceptional toxicity to me, reinforcing how I feel about Terran Empire/Section 31 apologists, and all for... what?
And you keep doing it after your zero-self-awareness sniveling about bad communication. I hope you're part of Trump's election campaign because I really, really want to see him lose.
I'll fume and snivel and won't insinuate your irritation the whole way to making sure trump loses 🫡
Your ongoing "not mad" passive aggression and last word game is reinforcing how I feel about toxic Trek fans that stan for the Terran Empire.
Well that doesn't make sense, I only like the mirror universe and section 31 as fun style breaks in ds9. Go niners!
Yet you're still here, your last word game continues, and you can have it because you're added yourself and your concern trolling, with distinction, to the toxic fans that I've already mentioned are red flags to me.
Now, get your last words in and congratulate yourself for wasting your time making me more convinced in how I feel about toxic fans like yourself.
