It's important to keep the channel safe from Donalbain.
Imagine, for a moment, if he was allowed to enter.
Then he could press the keys on his keyboard and form sequences of symbols our brains would interpret leading to emotional responses.
Some of these emotional responses would be unpleasant. While, yes, I could manage those emotional responses, or put him on ignore, think about how painful that would be.
This is why it is important to keep the channel safe from Donalbain.
+Melzack
what did Donalbain do
+dragoon
It doesn't matter at this point.
All I know is a vague memory of being upset, and I don't like being upset.
+Melzack
me neither
+dragoon
If I modify my behavior now, others in the pack may see me as weak.
What I am recommending is a lifetime ban.
Yes, I know that American jurisprudence represents a collection of intergenerational conversations going back several thousand years. But, weigh that against how I feel right now.
+Melzack
don't you believe in redemption and rehabilitation
+dragoon
By believe in, do you mean 'talk about them loudly when I'm being observed'?
Because if so, then yes.
If you mean 'influence my actions in any meaningful sense', then no.
+Melzack
lifetime ban seems excessive
how about a second chance
+dragoon
Melzack: Yes, the several thousand year intergenerational conversations that have lead to modern jurisprudence do not support indefinite bans, that's true.
But the anger that I feel is so real and powerful.
Donalbain once said the words that made me upset.
+Melzack
cool words
+dragoon
Do you feel insecure in response to the words?
+Melzack
no i'm being complimentary
do you have any published writings
+dragoon
I do not.
I mostly use my cool words to play tricks on operators trying to keep the peace.
But I won't let them.
