That's some straight up snowflake shit right there, buddy!

Let's rewind a bit here. Your very first post in this echo was titled
"Kamala" and included this (formatted and spell checked to make it more
readable):

You sir, opened up the can of worms. Don't go crying to Digital Man because most
people here don't agree with you.

Did you actually think that post would just squeak through and not get replied
to? If so, you're living on another planet.

Dovenet has been an attractive network for much longer than you have been here.

I thought this echo was named "DEBATE"? That is EXACTLY what is supposed to
happen here.

 N> Can we not be children, maybe, please?

Lead by example. This post was definitely NOT a prime example of adulthood,
though, so you're off to a really bad start. :(

Nick
