JAG, shot in the Backlund, Yoho types are those posters that only spit gasoline while chronically lacking self awareness or accountability, or sense in general. They're deaf, blind and numb to it. They're like worms or maggots that will squeeze around you and burrow elsewhere. Like water, or sand that can't be grasped within your clenching fist.

They can be banned but will replicate in numbers. They can't be reasoned or bargained with. But if you simply ignore them or tune them out, they will shrivel up into a little ugly baby pennywises and their eyes will glaze over for a while

This is how we subdue these types. They feed off of the spotlight. Just don't give it to them, and then you just have the odd unsavory post once in while, rather than pages of them and the endless push back exchanges

People with unsavory views/opinions will always exist and share internet spaces with us. Cancelling them doesnt work on this medium and even if we could, it would make us weak. It would mean our resistance to differing/fringe opinions, however misled, is frail. We just have to thicken our hides and learn to deal with their existences effectively in order to minimize them.

A thread dedication is pretty well the opposite of how we ought to deal with them.
