Reply to comment by ziq in Friday Free Talk by ziq

he was doing this passive aggressive thing where he was asking me questions and then answering them himself

I suddenly realized all the people in the room were wholly focused on me and looking at me like i just killed a baby

maybe his coworkers were just trying to tell you with their eyes that they have been praying for someone to take this man away and save them from his annoying wrath lol

If we're going to be honest (and I think we should always be honest with ourselves if we truly want to build a more open and communal society) we really shouldn't jump to the conclusion the toxic individual in this scenario is the person ziq admits to ignoring and not even facing while he's wishing him a happy Christmas... Has anyone here ever had an interaction with ziq that wasn't completely hostile and toxic? Some food for thought.

If someone across the room doesn't hear you, it tends to be a more open and communal response to not mock them and yell at them.

People aren't just as they are for no reason. I, for one, find that every time people act poisonous and entitled to me, I become withdrawn and negative. The more people disrespect me, the less I am inclined to put myself in the trampling zone.

If we're to be honest (and I also think we should always be honest with ourselves if we truly want to build a more open and communal society) we should really not jump to the conclusion that the toxic individual in this scenario was the one who refused to kowtow to someone who was acting like an entitled jerk.

I think many did, I did. What You're doing is just plain hate though. Ziq expresses their feelings and all you do is just pour hate and adhominem attack on them.
