To those who I have accidentally angered, I apologize. I was diagnosed as autistic at the age of five. Yes, I am very familiar with typing something in a fit of rage. I have made a snap judgement based on what I have read, and I shot back automatically. I'm going to let you in on a secret, special reader: I am awful with communication because I have that disability along with my little sister. I 100% know exactly what you are struggling with. I'm worked up about the trolls thing because like Jacksepticeye, I have lost my dad as well. So when I see a fellow person go through the same thing, I cry with them. When I see someone's dead dad getting disrespected by anonymous users, I am naturally going to investigate. And what I found was a lot uglier than what I expected. I thought about what I said to you as I wrote this and I discovered that I was in the wrong for calling you antisemitic. I said that because some of the trolls had swastikas for their profile picture and worse. It's an ugly iceberg that I accidentally found myself in. I was an idiot. That's right. I am saying this to you personally, special reader. I said that because I am Jewish and I had my thoughts scrambled as I wrote that. I was worked up over it because one of the trolls used worse hate speech than what I used. MUCH worse, like I would be beat up if I repeated it worse. I'm talking about racism, my friend. I have seen some very ugly stuff as I spent the week doing some digging. So, yes. You've made fair points, and I am going to be working hard on trying to be better. Sounds generic, but it's true. I apologize for being very stupid. I will try to be better. If it makes you feel better, I have been thinking about what to do to make it better. Starting with blocking all of the trolls and let them screw up on their own and cleaning up my act. Then I will begin to try to see your point of view.
