My comment today was not borne out from sudden flashpoint, but something that annoyed me over the course of the last few weeks as, and I felt like the responses to Brk's opinions weren't proportional to what he's written before, in tone or volume.
I'm not complaining about getting shit for my bad takes, I talk shit myself, I just dispute which bad takes I'm supposed to answer for.
I also think that it's rich reading people clutching their pearls at my comment, and then having the audacity to ask me for receipts? People would ask for them, I'd give them, and they'd be like "oh, no, that didn't happen." Now I have to call out names and point out posts? Why? So that we can fight some more?
I just felt like Brk was getting spillover shit due to my takes, and honestly, I felt bad. I know I joke about getting shit for Brk's takes, but, I've just read some things in the last few weeks that have given me... a guilty feeling, that Brk (and others, like Alo, to be honest) are in that position: getting more venom in response to their positions due to my attitude, which I didn't like, and I probably should have been clearer in expressing that.
Edit: I think I made a pretty clear delineation between disagreeing with people who don't actively seek out fights, and going after them. I think that difference was clear, but people want to make it seem like I made it out that "oh, all criticism of Brk is fucked up." I'm sorry, I think that's not a fair characterization of what I wrote.
