The simplest answer is that I was an asshole. Someone posted an idea and someone else asked for clarification. Rather than act like an adult, I put on my dickbag hat and shit all over the idea. My issue is with David Icke yet for some incomprehensible reason, I jumped into a thread that didn’t involve me and added my own personal shit.

I injected David Icke rather than give Motohagiography the chance to explain their own words. At best, I was a bully.

It was wrong of me and I fucked up. I could have behaved like an adult and made a difference. Instead I acted like a brute and made a spectacle. What the fuck was the point of any of that???

Edit - I have a better way to describe it. I acted like a racist! I saw signs of David Icke and turned dick. A more adult adult would have shut the fuck up…alas, I’m bad at that.

Edit 2 - If I was writing about someone else, I would have used the words “complete fucking asshole”. Let me restate. The simplest answer is that I was a complete fucking asshole. :)

Thanks for calling me out bud! :)

I think it’s puzzling for some of us that someone might be so apologetic and deferential for speaking their mind in a text forum - this is what we’re all here for, free association; someone’s post reminds you of David Icke and projection of meaning, by all means tell us all about it.

edit: I’m not the person you’re replying to

You’re making a lot of assumptions.

First, you’re assuming that I came across David Icke by chance. I didn’t. Someone I love has schizophrenia and is currently homeless. David Icke was part of his path. Fuck David Icke.

Second, you’re assuming I have no compassion. What if someone reading this is sick?? I can be a dickbag or possibly set myself up as someone worth confiding in.

I’ll err on the side of being someone worth confiding in. Sorry bud but your opinion isn’t very important to me.

Ok well now you have to apologize to jazzyjackson
For what it's worth (although I'm not motohagiography) I didn't read your comment upthread as an attack on the commenter. Warnings about this stuff can be appropriate, because it's seductive. You did a bit of conclusion-jumping, but misreading the original comment was an easy mistake to make -- it's pretty dense.
