Actually, it turns out that politeness isn't always a function of tone! For example, talking on someone's post who has asked you not to is impolite no matter what tone the talking takes. So if someone says you're impolite and then denies saying anything about your tone, that isn't necessarily internally inconsistent!

Hey, uh, I just wanted to warn you, a cousin of mine found out I know Makel Alasi's sister-in-law on tumblr, I'm doing my best to keep her out of my blog but if you get any weird out-of-character asks from me about him it probably means she figured out my password.

...I have anon turned on...

I live in Tapa and I like you a lot.

I like your boat pictures. Your hair makes you look a little like a rubber-forehead alien.

That’s not a comparison I would have chosen, but I suppose it isn’t the most elegant style. It serves its purpose well, though. It’s easy to manage, and keeps my hair out of my way while I’m working.

I like the boats, too.

I am so not taking back what I said about you being nice and caring because of how you ripped into that green idiot, "nice and caring" does not equal "inhuman machine of rainbows and happiness," which is what it would have taken to tolerate that fuckhead.

You’re so sweet I could cry.

(Don’t feel bad about that, I think I’m headed for a good cathartic cry anyway.)

Hi! I am also a purple on their first spring who likes space! I'm glad you're having a better first spring than I am! I'm super sorry about what happened when you were a kid that sucked so bad :(((( your natural hair sounds SUPER PRETTY but I totally get the dyeing thing that mush have been SO TRAUMATIC. ...I swear I am normally more coherent than this.

*hug*

hey so I have nothing against you warning people about industrialbruise, people should 100% be able to know what they're getting into. but, like, idk if you've read any of his blog past what was necessary to discover his unfortunate past and go "ew no" so I thought I should share with you that he's a hyposensitive who, as a child, was subjected to traumatizing attempts to "fix" this. He's not some rando edgelord who decided to bang a red because filth gets him hard, he's a mentally ill [1/2]

person who I, for one, am glad is no longer being led by his mental illness to harm himself like that. anyway I’m not trying to say that you’re doing anything wrong, his problems are not your responsibility etc., but I thought you should know.

I apologize for not responding to this ask when I received it. I was tired, I didn’t want to post it without confirming the information, and I believe I also needed time to think about how best to respond.

I am saddened to hear about this person’s mental illness, and even more saddened to hear that he seems to have been subjected to prolonged forced proximity to pollutants. That is a horrifying thing to go through, and I would not wish it on anyone. I hope for a world where no one ever has to go through it again, under any circumstances.

This does not excuse his past actions or current beliefs, which are abhorrent. Nor does it mean that he is a good person for four-year-old hypersensitives to be interacting with, especially when they cannot be expected to know what he has involved himself with. On the other hand, I admit that it does change my understanding of the situation.

@industrialbruise, I would like to reiterate that I hope you recover.
