I’m sorry you feel that way. But whatever our differences on the board - and we’d had quite a few before that evening at Taqueria, not all civil - neither of us were going to bring them into a RL gathering. I have no doubt that that would hold true for both of us today.
He hasn’t insisted on having it out with you; that’s something you’re reading into it.
But what if he was? Not imputing this to Scylla at all, but I think you and I have a serious philosophical disagreement on this point. In the following, the “you” is a general “you,” not you personally, RTF, because I don’t know you very well, don’t know the your thing with Scylla, and don’t give a shit about the latter.
If you are an asshole on the Boards, calling people names, getting in heated arguments with them, and generally establishing a relationship that can at best be described as cordial loathing, what exactly is the basis for your insistence that they don’t act or react to you IRL based on what they know about you on the Boards? If a person has “personal vendetta” against you – not that I think Scylla does in this case – on what grounds do you have the right to demand they leave that vendetta at home? Yes, Dopefests are supposed to be “fun.” But any occasion where you are put in close proximity to people who dislike you has the potential to become very unfun very quickly.
It seems like you have this idea that the things you say on the Board are part of some Board persona that should be left behind when you meet IRL. I don’t think you have the right to demand that. The person you are here IS the person you are IRL. And people will treat you accordingly.
You took the words right out of my mouth.
