What were you THINKING?

So, once again I ask the thread’s question: What were you THINKING?

Now @Jinx is a long time poster, even if I haven’t interacted with them much in other threads. A quick review shows zero evidence of trollishness, so just going to talk about this specific post, which other posters in this thread, including @LSLGuy looked askance of in that actual thread.

It was just… out there, a sudden “old man shouting at clouds” and blatant attack in a thread which up to that point was largely casual with softballs thrown at sitcom formulas and some discussion of changing expectations for wealth and relationships. And then boom, suddenly “free love” snowballs into “depravity” - their word, not mine.

Although several posters in thread smacked down the bullshit assumptions hard (and I refrained because what I wanted to say was Pit-worthy) - I figured I’d ask the thread if this is out of the norm as it seemed. I mean, that’s one of my points from the OP - someone’s having a bad day, had too many drinks, or otherwise just seems to go off the rails, how and why?

ETA - I also note that while the original was posted roughly a day ago (20 hr at the time of this post), they haven’t been back yet. So maybe there’s an explanation that’ll come in time, as it seems the poster only posts a few times a month, and with decreasing frequency of late from their profile.
