I must not reply.
Replying is the mind-killer.
Replying is the little own that brings total obliteration.
I will draft my reply.
I will permit it to pass over me and through me.
And when it has gone past, I will turn the inner eye to see its path.
Where the reply has gone there will be nothing.
Only I will remain.
@schratze kills my own mind
Finally, peace and quiet
@schratze
and then,
Realising:
I - is a reply to causes and conditions.
Permitting to pass over and through,
Leaving nothing,
real I sings.
@schratze
Altho I am sorely tempted to get into a long & ultimately pointless contest on a board of social media I will not. In fact, seeing how my POV & sources were being attacked in the ‘reply’ to my first post, I posted my sources & said I objected to the attacks on me & said “This conversation is over.”. The person then replied, immediately attacking my posted sources. I never read his arguments; I am not interested in trying to persuade one who only wants to bludgeon me into agreement.
@schratze @paninid It is by ratio alone I set my mind in motion
My fingers acquire speed
The account acquires woofie
The woofie becomes a warning
It is by ratio alone I set my mind in motion
@schratze @courtcan literally vibrating trying to keep from replying to some of these delusional morons

@schratze "What do you reply? By this are you truly known."

"Deep in the human unconscious is a pervasive need for a logical fediverse that makes sense. But the real fediverse is always one step beyond logic."

@schratze

I am the reply.
I kill the little minds.
I promise to own your total obliteration.
I will not be drafted.
I will not permit passage over me or through me.
And when the little minds have gone past, I will utter a little reply to entertain them in passing.
Where the little minds have gone there will be nothing.
And I will remain a reply.

@schratze My finger will hover over the enter key to send it while I consider the state of mind of the reader both before and after reading it. I will remember the words of the sage, "Own your words. Assume good intent"

And then I'll mash the key and send it because some times you have to just hit fascists for the good of society as a whole.

@schratze I frequently type out replies (sometimes real long) to someone being wrong in the way that infuriates me and when I'm finished I look at a job well done, delete it all, and move on with my life
@schratze 😭🤣
@so_treu I see I'm not the only one who regularly gets that type of reply lol
@schratze that sounds like what someone who also feels the urge to have pointless petty fights with strangers online would say. Admit it, the birdsite is strong within you too.
@schratze you too miss the time when you could call someone reddit and cringe, i can tell
@schratze (totally not projecting, i would never)
