This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

Oh, it's not my friend. I'm just a lemmy passer by :)

All I'm saying is - being an asshole does not have a prerequisite of losing your temper. On top of that - some people ask for it.

In OP's example the other side is wasting time. That is one thing I do not tolerate.

As to people not being nice - what about the time waster? Is he nice? Is it nice? I feel like people are sticking to words too much and actions too little.

Well, being an asshole doesn't mean you lost your temper, no, but it does mean you're an asshole, which might be worse. I'd rather be around someone who's only an ass when they're upset vs all the time. From the OP, would I personally have banned her, no probably not, but we also don't know what words were actually spoken from either side. My guess is that it was a bit spicier than portrayed if she's been banned twice
