       @agilealliance You're doing a conference in Florida?You truly represent the apotheosis of "Agile".For reals, yo.You're cool with your 3,000 person venue where no one who isn't a cishet white salesperson/john man is welcome?Jesus fucking Christ.I was already estranged, I freely admit it, But this is beyond the pale.Fuck the Agile fucking Alliance. They aren't what we wanted, they never have been.

       @agilealliance I don't give a fuck about your sunk fucking cost.Apologize, and eat the cost.You're committing a sin you'll never come back from.Your one chance, and it's slim, is to just admit that you made a mistake, ask for forgiveness, and move forward.

       @agilealliance My trans friends will not go to Florida, not cuz they're mad, cuz they're at risk of their lives. My Black friends won't go to Florida, not cuz they're mad, cuz they're at risk of their lives. My gay and lesbian friends won't go to Florida, not cuz they're mad, cuz they're at risk for their lives.Go broke, walking away, go broke. But go broke *proud* that you cared more for humans than for a venue-deposit.

       @GeePawHill What about florida makes it so exceptionally dangerous for them? Not that I'm disagreeing with you, just wondering what law or whatever this is in reference to.@agilealliance

       @freemo @agilealliance Well, while you been sharing your range-pictures, Florida has been outlawing abortion, outlawing being gay, and outlawing teaching young people about the history of our country.

       @GeePawHill Not sure what my range-pictures have to do with that? Seems a very odd opening statement.All those things sound quite concerning. What are the punishments for being gay and teaching a history class? Are they severe (though any punishment is pretty concerning).@agilealliance

       @freemo @agilealliance Yes, your range-pictures are cool, and I'm sorry I'm coming in hot. Granted.I'm not gonna cite cases. Look into recent Florida law changes, and get back to me, explaining if you can why anyone who isn't straight, white, cis, and male, would ever go there.

       @freemo @GeePawHill @agilealliance Are you sealioning or asking someone else to do your research for you? Certainly if you are Trans you can no longer get medical support. If you are a woman who needs an abortion you can't get that. It's a third class felony to use any book that hasn't been approved by the State in your class. You can't answer questions about gender, sexuality or anything like that in class. So are you trolling or merely profoundly ignorant?

       @GeePawHill Yup, happy to look up whats been going there if you dont want to share details and then comment. If the things you said are literally illegal though, then that in and of itself already answers that question. I am simply curious what the penalty is for being gay, any penalty is already wrong enough though.@agilealliance

       @ariaflame I am neither sealioning or asking someone to do my research for me. I am engaging in a respectful discussion. A post was made saying gay/trans cant go there. I asked for why you feel that is the case, that is not sealioning nor asking you or anyone to do research.I am not trolling, nor "profoundly ignorant", not everyone keeps tabs on the day to day happenings in Florida... but congratulations on being rude to someone who is genuinely curious about your opinion, and having a desire to support you in your concerns. Quite the self-defeating approach you have going there.@GeePawHill @agilealliance

       @freemo @GeePawHill @agilealliance I just was amazed that anyone had missed all of this. It isn't exactly hidden from the news. Although if you aren't following it it could be. It's not safe because the government there is actively working against gay/trans people.

       @ariaflame @freemo @agilealliance Dafuq.So your case is that it is not technically illegal to be Black, or female, or trans, or gay, or historicaly accurate, so therefore I'm over-reacting?Sheeeeeit.I'm an old white male cishet succesful person, and I used to break sticks like you to make my fire my breakfast.

       @freemo @GeePawHill @agilealliance Ah, are you familiar with the terms 'jaqing' or 'sealioning'? They are tactics used by people who have no real interest in learning, but wish to disrupt or undermine information. And unfortunately your posts bore a certain similarity to such tactics. http://wondermark.com/1k62/

       @ariaflame I am aware of sealioning. In fact out of fear that someone might mistake what I said for sealioning is why I added the following qualifier to my original reply "Not that I'm disagreeing with you", that way it was quite clear and explicitly stated it was not sealioning.@GeePawHill @agilealliance

       @freemo @GeePawHill @agilealliance In 1930's Germany people said the same. It doesn't start with laws making them illegal. Instead it starts with propaganda to effect fear and hate against x,y, or z who have been condemned by deed, skin, birth or belief. SimilaritiesLeaders expecting loyalty over all othersEnd of Medicare and SSI would be a slow killing of our sick and elderlyDevaluing of humans based on "social accepted norms" which became more intrusive over time.

       @aardvark Im sure you did, but you knew what the laws were you were looking for. None of these "make being gay illegal" so obviously to someone who has no clue what is being referenced it is effectively impossible to google. I did see these laws when i googled and since they did not fit the description I had assumed they werent what was being referenced.Obviously I have no objection to if the person wanted to be hyperbolic, but the inaccurate description did make it impossible for me to know what was being referenced or to find it.@ariaflame @GeePawHill @agilealliance

       @aardvark Assuming those are the laws the OP meant, then again, thank you for finding them. I was looking perhaps too literally.I find it a bit funny that the OP will use such a vague and misleading statement and then instead of just mentioning what law they mean complain that i should google it then mock me when I dont find any law that actually matches what he said... Like just use your words to be clear enough so people dont need to guess, its not sealioning to ask "oh what law is that"... there is **no** need for the two days of nonsense when all I needed was an accurate statement of what is being discussed and i could have googled it.@ariaflame @GeePawHill @agilealliance

       @Hyolobrika “What about florida makes it so exceptionally dangerous for them?” was the question. Seems like pasting that question into Google would have been simple enough. But no, demand answers on a topic of nationwide debate around hate laws instead? That’s sealioning behavior, like it or not. @freemo @ariaflame @GeePawHill @agilealliance

       @aardvark Are you really going to take quotes out of context to create some drama about something I didnt say... Here is the full context of the question I asked:"What about florida makes it so exceptionally dangerous for them? Not that I'm disagreeing with you, just wondering what law or whatever this is in reference to."As is quite clear when you dont mislead by taking what I said out of context, I was interested in what **law** he was refering, not googles opinion on what makes florida shitty for gay people.Why are you even wasting your time with this toxic line of discussion... I asked what law he was talking about, the correct thing to do is just answer and avoid all this needless gaslighting.

       @freemo @ariaflame @GeePawHill @agilealliance , semi impartial observer here (you can decide after my post). Just a couple days ago I had a very similar experience, and I was fairly sure the guy was just being a dick. The same topic, florida book banning. I found the questions to be intentionally obtuse to the point of being harassing. I feel fairly sure that there was miscommunication with my conversation, and there is similar with yours. As I read this exchange, I am reexamining my conversation with different eyes.

       @JonKramer I have no doubt there is miscommunication and people are assuming intent behind my questions that dont exist. I even understand those misunderstandings happen because as I stated earlier it is not uncommon for people to discuss in bad faith... However I have consistently explicitly made it clear that was not the case and that this is good-faith. I was polite, thanked them when i got an answer and just moved on (at least until the toxic nightmare of a debate kicked off in meta-land).@ariaflame @GeePawHill @agilealliance

       @freemo @ariaflame @GeePawHill @agilealliance , I don't doubt your intentions. I have watched your interactions for about 8 months now, since I joined this instance. I doubt MY observations of another person a few days back, someone I did not know, who I assumed was arguing without good faith, to 'win the internet'. The similarities were, looking at the two conversations, blatant. I am questioning now, based on your conversation, if I was too quick to judge. Second guessing myself. It seemed to me that everyone should be directly aware of the book bannings, the anti trans legislation, etc, that states like Florida are imposing, and how miserable the state is becoming. This discussion defused my opinion of a guy who I pretty much KNEW was sealioning me. So, I am attempting to return the favor.

The existence of reality.  I blame a lack of classes on critical thinking... But, this attitude of mine is bad too, because then I assume everywhere else in the world is BETTER informed....

       @JonKramer I often remark on this when it comes to the latest tendency of increasing autism diagnosis... while im sure a great deal of autism is legitimate I think it is largely overinflated int he USA. The people labeled as autistic for not "fitting in" or "missing social clues" are really the health well rounded people and its everyone else who is toxic and constantly offended.. so it creates this weird dynamic where th e"norm" is having a social disorder and the healthy people are seen as the "unhealthy" and get mislabeled as autistic.@ariaflame @GeePawHill @agilealliance

       @JonKramer I actually realized it when I had an in depth conversation with a recently diagnosed Autistic person... They listed all the examples of failed human interactions that they described to their psychiatrist and ultimately the line of thinking that lead to the diagnosis. Well this person used to live int he netherlands and I pointed out how I didnt think they would have had any of those examples happen in the netherlands and asked them to think back to when they lived there and they realized that all their social difficulties were non existent in the netherlands... They quickly shifted from fully believing they were autistic to convinced they weren't since all the diagnosis criteria only ever manifested int he USA... since that interaction I have become convinced this is a common mode of misdiagnosis in the USA.@ariaflame @GeePawHill @agilealliance

       @freemo @ariaflame @GeePawHill @agilealliance , that's a conversation I couldn't understand, because I lack the experience of being in the Netherlands long enough to be able to understand the change in environment. But I am fully aware of my limitation, in a theoretical way. To turn this back a bit, I was NOT capable of understanding the theoretical limitations that other English speakers wouldn't know about the dangers of Florida to education, and gay folks.... I will have to work on that.

       @BernieWonIowa @freemo @GeePawHill @agilealliance Fahrenheit 451 is a 1953 dystopian novel by Ray Bradbury. It presents an American society where books have been personified & outlawed & "firemen" burn any that are found. Fahrenheit 451 was written by Bradbury during the Second Red Scare & the McCarthy era, who was inspired by the book burnings in Nazi Germany & by ideological repression in the Soviet Union.

       Trans folks are definitely impacted by the bathroom law so I certainly understand the choice to avoid Florida but what specifically is happening that is putting black and gay/lesbian *lives* at risk? Is there a murder spree going unreported or are you exaggerating?

       @GeePawHill No worries, and I appreciate the apology. From what is being described it does indeed seem like a grim situation and can certainly understand if people have a light trigger finger due to the emotional impact of these things.@ariaflame @agilealliance

       @ariaflame I appreciate the apology (and the respectful use of my pronouns).. No harm done and we all seemed to come to a place where that is behind us.. Given the circumstances the heated reaction is understandable, think nothing of it.@GeePawHill @agilealliance

       @freemo @ariaflame @GeePawHill @agilealliance Bigoted asshats on bath salts trying to smash with their cousins but with gentrification that will certainly fix all the problems.

       @freemo @aardvark @ariaflame @GeePawHill @agilealliance Here he goes again. Dr. Freemo! He doesn't understand anything, but he somehow knows the word "asshat."

       @DoesntExist @freemo @aardvark @ariaflame @agilealliance Oh shut the fuck up. You seem less likely than Freemo to know what I'm talking about.Define yourself by what you're in favor of, child, not what you're against.

       @GeePawHill Thanks for that. Some people are just beyond help and will spew toxicity in every thread like this guy, all while adding nothing of value. The sad part is how they are so counter-productive to their own claimed objectives. Sometimes I wont if people like this are just russian-paid trolls trying to create fights where none clearly exist othewise.@DoesntExist @aardvark @ariaflame @agilealliance

       @freemo @DoesntExist @aardvark @ariaflame @agilealliance Our system makes it very very easy to hate, and very very hard to be both angry and kind.Freems -- affectionate nickname -- I don't even really know you. I don't know what kinda foolishness you're up to. I suspect, on what evidence I have, we'd be all fisticuffs and what-not.But the current system wants us to hate, cuz hate is profitable.I ain't play that.

       @freemo @GeePawHill @agilealliance "male / female impersonation" being defined as "adult content" which children shouldn't see means that someone could harass / arrest someone simply for walking around.

       @freemo @GeePawHill @agilealliance "male / female impersonation" being defined as "adult content" which minors shouldn't see means that someone could harass / arrest someone simply for walking around.I've seen this in some states. On the upside, this is certainly a violation of the First Amendment which protects free expression.

On the upside, this is certainly a violation of the First Amendment which protects free expression.That might be one. You also have to consider that if a politician is riling people up, then a place might be unsafe, in general.
