Hey guys, this is important. Recently I had a couple friends on Discord message me who "just wanted to talk" about my latest journal. They wanted to challenge my views and talk it out. I agreed. So we'd talk and through the conversation I'd make points, they would, and we'd reach conclusions. In both cases I was very pleased because we both ended up agreeing with one another and at the end of the conversation we both agreed it was a good discussion....
However...
BOTH people after a few days of silence sent me a message out of the blue calling me names, either "privileged" or an "ist" or "ism" and then insta blocked me on all accounts like here, FA, twitter, etc.
This confuses me, because in both cases we talked, we discussed calmly and rationally and though through the conversation they kept asking me one sided questions like a reporter we ended up in a good place reaching a conclusion and a balance. But both times the person randomly blocked me a few days later accusing me of saying things I never said and then that was it.

I cannot stress this enough... DO NOT BE LIKE THESE PEOPLE

If want to debate with someone, then find yourself agreeing with their point of view, this does not mean you get to just name call them and block them. Keep an open mind, don't throw away friend ships just because you don't agree, just SAY that, you don't agree but that's fine.
I know we are furries and love to escape, but you're still adults, and we all need to act like it. Don't burn bridges because someone doesn't agree with you, or worse, you find yourself agreeing with them.
