ive had a disagreement with you about scotland and that remained fairly cordial. Nobody blocked anybody or told anybody off.

i wish all forum users were like this

I'd forgotten all about that and honestly can barely remember what it was about. If I recall I made a quasi shitpost about how Scotland is still responsible for some crimes of the British empire and the disagreement was over the subtleties of what that entails. I don't remember much else aside from my agreeing Wales would be in the same boat and it kinda fizzled when it turned out we aren't really on different pages. Also for some reason Scottish people have just filled my life, first partner's mom came over from Edinburgh when she was 19 and a bit of family followed and my partner would get an accent but only when yelling regardless of emotion, worked with an absolutely astounding baker who's name was shit you not Robert Burns and two jobs later I ended out working with 3 Scottish servers which is weird as hell for Canada, but I am from New Scotland as well and we've got fake Scottish people instead of plastic paddys so I gotta admit, I'm probably more comfortable mocking Scotland than I should be. Regardless, it's the type of disagreement I'm fine operating in, both parties are amicable and an understanding is possible to reach. This was not the UlyssesT way. It's been expounded upon in the thread, but that kind of obstinate defense of what is a repetitive, shallow and obvious argument cause his essential arguments while not totally wrong can apply to literally all media and therefore doesn't bear endless repetition. That shit is annoying as hell and is All Media is Capitalist Programming is just as boring as The Curtains Are Blue. I'm here to have fun and would prefer to generally not be taken seriously but I've shit posted better media analysis than that dude ever made with a full dedication to it. Being uninteresting and repetitive while also demanding to be the only voice in the room gets my goat hard. I got into it pretty hard before blocking. I generally reserve that for usernames that aren't from here or the grad, there's an assumed comradship extended to anyone who's here just for being here, but thst fucking guy...
