You’re welcome to infer anything you like about me - and you have. The inference is merely interesting. I didn’t say you couldn’t do it - I said you did do it. But on this platform I am sometimes an angry white man, sometimes a LGBTQ+ supporting lesbian, sometimes I’m Jewish, sometimes I’m a BLM activist - it depends what people have read and what they have chosen to infer.

I am also free to make inferences and point them out. I have. Readers can make their own mind up based on what I’ve presented. I’ve asked you to respect the Penguin identity but you’re welcome to do your own thing. I have no control over what you do.

Nom de plume is an alias for specific writing and nom de guerre I presume is an alias for war. I’m going with nom de plumage. What tends to get me blocked is being persistent. You might find it annoying that I didn’t simply hide your comment or block you. That’s not my style.

Had you come in reasonably with some comments about why my thoughts were problematic then we would be debating and engaged in interesting chat right now. But you didn’t, you came in hard and fast, straight out of the gate with the ad hominems - something the Celtic Chameleon calls ‘feelpinions’ and I agree.

You can recalibrate if you wish, there’s plenty in this piece to disagree with and some interesting chats to have - but they can’t be initiated by throwing anger over everything and calling me names based on your perception of who I am. You can either re-engage and we’ll be friends (like me and SC) or we’ll be locked in this holding pattern until you get fed up and/or block me.
