Re: the hypothetical of Simeon Brown - I'd be doing exactly the same, waiting for facts. This is an extremely toxic world we live in right now.
Let me ask you a couple of questions then Marv - do you endorse lynch mobs? Homophobia? Bullying?
Because based on your comments that I've read I think the answer would be no to all of those (unless the lynch mobs were coming after me

).
i absolutely abhor all of those things.
i did my fair share of bullying as a young teen because i was a shitty, angry kid who came from a shitty, angry immigrant household.
i don’t think the world is any more toxic than it’s ever been. (not in our small corner of the world) it’s just more under our nose as we get older and pay certain things more mind. and then add the entire world at our fingertips.
it’s completely toxic no doubt, but i don’t think it’s worse. people are definitely more easily offended and people are definitely more willing to stand up for what they believe (not always right on either side)
people certainly aren’t being beaten to death in their dozens just for being gay or different anymore but they do have to fight just to have unisex toilets. i could go on forever but the answer is no, i don’t fuck with any of those things. not by a stretch.
i talk with you a lot because i love to see your point of view on things. i’ve only ever once said something unkind to you which i shouldn’t have.
you’ll get no lynching from me.
i’m cheeky no doubt, but not cruel or too cunty.
i do think you’re an egg a lot of times, as i expect you think i am, but you’re unbelievably passionate and that is unfuckwithable.
i think you’re the perfect voter. unbelievably loyal and unswayable.
that doesn’t necessarily make you right or wrong but if i had to sum you up in two words they would be passionate and loyal.
and those are good words.
