Darned cockwombles.
Re the argument this afternoon - I still stand by everything I said. The only exception is this : Luke, it wasn't fair to refer in anger to a previous argument that you'd had (however pissed off I was about it, I should still have separated it from the argument at hand and not said that publicly).
Barty and I have had a private discussion, and while we very much disagree about what happened, then hopefully it didn't make things any worse.
I'm sad because I feel like Dissensus is not as inclusive a space as it might be, if casual homophobia is still classed as a joke that people then subsequently try to defend - I have friends I'd be embarrassed to show this thread to because of the homophobia they've continually been subject to, and that doesn't feel good. And as per the subject of a thread from today or yesterday, I don't really want at the moment to be in a space where being understood about things I class as fundamental feels like such a fucking effort. (I'm sure other people might feel the same about other issues, and I'm sure other people felt similarly about me this afternoon.)
I wish you all keep safe and well in this fairly grim time: I might be back to post rather than just to lurk on music threads, but might not be tbh.
