Squiddy, would you trust the cops to protect your kid?
- I have no idea why you expect me to answer any question of yours when you refuse to answer the single question I have answered multiple times.
  But yes, I get it, you have no ideas and it's my fault you have no ideas.
  
  ... That was clearly rhetorical, but dude like calm down? I've even answered your question multiple times already.
  Well damn, you sure picked up on the subtext there, way to figure it out squiddy!
  Where the fuck are they supposed to go? IDK
  (Ah fine I'll play, I can't sleep anyways) if you somehow need it even more explicitly laid out: We cannot rely on the cops here, obviously. If you thought we could actually fight fire with fire, you wouldn't have needed to flee the country with your daughter. Do you really see this whole interaction as adversarial? Buddy the most hostile I've been towards you is telling you to go hug your kid. That's not exactly... er... bullying. It's barely even mockery. And you're calling that "lashing out". God only knows how you'd react if I said something really out there, like "I get you have a really rough time interacting on the internet, but I still hope you have a nice day".
  
  Yes, again, I get that you have no ideas and it's my fault. You don't have to keep rephrasing it.
  
  Just gonna ignore me having answered your question repeatedly? Good call, it's not a great look for you. Though I kinda expected you to be going somewhere what with your insistence I answer your question. Was... was the whole point just to get me to answer it? Like some kind of dog obedience training alpha/omega thing? (Can you answer my rhetorical question now, because that'd be kinda silly)
  Oh, and I don't know why the hell you think I'm blaming you for this whole mess (again "go hug your kid" and crying from stress isn't exactly the stuff of playground nightmares, or even really "lashing out" at someone being a jerk) but for the like eightieth time, I'm not mad at you for anything. You're not exactly using your wiles to draw me into this even, I always enjoy bickering with you.
  
  Just gonna ignore me having answered your question repeatedly?
  Lie.
  I have gone through this entire comment chain three times now and I have not seen you give one single idea about how to deal with these terrorists.
  I see a lot of insults, I see a lot of you berating me, I see a lot of you lying about me, but I do not see one idea.
  Because you have no ideas. All you have is insults.
  Was… was the whole point just to get me to answer it?
  No, you have made it very clear that you have zero ideas how to deal with terrorists.
  (Can you answer my rhetorical question now, because that’d be kinda silly)
  Sure, when you tell me what ideas you have for dealing with these terrorists rather than lie about already giving me those ideas.
  Oh, and I don’t know why the hell you think I’m blaming you for this whole mess
  You are blaming me for telling people to be apathetic, a lie, and accusing me of running away, so yeah you are.
  again “go hug your kid"
  Yes, I know what "fuck off" means.
  and crying from stress
  Lie, I'm not doing that.
  but for the like eightieth time, I’m not mad at you for anything.
  Something I never said.
  You’re not exactly using your wiles to draw me into this even,
  Cool, don't have any wiles.
  I always enjoy bickering with you.
  Yes, I realize you would rather berate me with a bunch of lies than come up with a single idea about how to deal with these terrorists.
  
  (If you think my saying you fled the country is an insult, that's on you. I'd have skipped my family right the fuck out of here if I could, and I sure as fuck don't think less of you for doing it)
  I have gone through this entire comment chain three times now and I have not seen you give one single idea about how to deal with these terrorists.
  No, you have made it very clear that you have zero ideas how to deal with terrorists.
  Sigh... I said I don't know, repeatedly, and even quoted myself saying that. I don't have an answer, I'm just certain that you and I are in complete agreement on how much we can trust the cops to keep us and ours safe during this. They're the thing I'm worried about, they aren't about to turn on each other.
  and crying from stress
  Lie, I’m not doing that.
  Me, squiddy. I am the person that was doing that. I've been doing that for a little over a week now. They're going to kill my damn family, dude. My students. My friends. And there's not much else I can do except cry about it.
  
  You don't know and yet you berate me for saying that I want someone to come up with ideas.
  I guess you don't.
  I'm sorry you are at risk, but that is no reason to repeatedly insult me. And yes, you have repeatedly insulted me in the last few days. Here are two examples from this specific conversation:
  you have lost your damn mind.
  Go hug your kid, you utter utter jackass.
  Immediately after calling me an "utter utter jackass" that post, you lied in the next one and said:
  Buddy the most hostile I’ve been towards you is telling you to go hug your kid.
  And now you're lying again and claiming you never insulted me.
  This is, I assume, the point where you claim calling someone an "utter utter jackass" is not an insult.
  
  At no point did I deny I insulted you. Jackass is a mildly insulting term used to ascribe extreme obstinance, often in the defiance of reason or self interest, a trait donkeys (the eponymous 'jackasses') are famous for. It's not an unfair characterization, and I can expand on what I mean with that if you'd like.
  The most hostile I have been towards you is telling you to go hug your kid. And I was sincere. It's hard for me, someone with decades of experience of being persecuted for being LGBT+ and that has a huge and entrenched local community I can fall back on for support, to handle this right now. I cannot imagine how hard this is on her, and though I'm certain from your many characterizations of her that she understands and appreciates the necessity and what you are doing for her, she could probably use a hug right now. And asking someone to walk away from the keyboard and evaluate what is actually important in their life right now is fairly hostile.
  I’m sorry you are at risk, but that is no reason to repeatedly insult me.
  Being told to rely on the police because there is no other hope, while I suspect I understand why you said it, is incredibly tactless bordering on open insult. I've been gassed and/or beaten by the cops more times than I can count, even shot once, and generally harassed endlessly. I am not even slightly unique in this experience. Spreading a message of hopelessness and submission isn't what anyone needs right now.
  
  Yeah, okay. Go into a bar and call some random stranger an "utter, utter jackass" and see if they think you didn't insult them.
  🙄
  Not even dictionaries agree with you.
  
  Neither do thesauruses:
  
  I'll bother reading the rest of what you wrote when you're less dishonest.
