:"Some understanding" is doing a ''lot'' of heavy lifting here. In the hypothetical we could just say that so long as you don't run out in front of traffic and cause a car wreck the hypothetical field doesn't care about jaywalking. And, you know, I say this as someone who considers themselves friends with some people engaged in the activity in question. The statements I made are solely positive, not normative. But if the illegality of it all offended OS25, again, I apologize for that section. It was not, in any way, intended as a personal attack.

::If the mere knowledge of its persistence in some out-of-the-way places "actively distresses you" then don't go around blabbing about it on wholly public threads! Land'sakes! Your apology for the attack-adjacent bit is appreciated, but please do also apologise for the privacy thing, ''please''. (And consent to have the messages deleted if Ottsel takes me up on that proposal would be appreciated as a gesture of goodwill.)

:::Well I certainly didn't indicate ''where'' it was. And I already did consent! Above, in the first response to you! And I do agree that the wording of my comment on the privacy front is unfortunate, but it still feels to me to be the only way to explain to OS25 how I objected to his characterization of his claimed expertise, and how it's slightly more nuanced. I could be vaguer still! But I felt that those responses would be curt and entirely unhelpful, and given the tensions between us in the past, I figured an actual explanation would be best, and tried both to be quite vague in that section, and to explicitly note that it wasn't directly referring to him in specific, but to characteristics of, well, large swathes of our society. Obviously this was mistaken. I apologize for that, and will adjust accordingly. [[User:Najawin|Najawin]] [[User talk:Najawin|<span title="Talk to me">☎</span>]] 17:47, 22 September 2023 (UTC) | |||
