Also, people get desensitized to their own stink. I'll never stop apologizing for how little I realized the stink I carried everywhere when I was a smoker, but I really didn't know until I quit.

He might just be some combination of oblivious, inconsiderate, and disgusting, but it's hard to know. I had to deal with a situation like this with someone I supervised, and it was 100% obliviousness. He fixed it immediately, but thereafter seemed resentful as though it was an invented issue.

A kindly worded (but direct) typewritten note, taped up in the elevator? Maybe with a sentence about reaching out for help if sone is needed? (Depression can cause people to neglect personal hygiene, even while they attend to life's other business.)

I'm unqualified to comment on theology, but you're clearly an asshole. That said, I didn't take this comment to be a claim about the purpose of Judaism, I took it to be a claim about the purpose of Christianity. An effort to clarify might have helped, but instead you had to be a dick about it.

You are very fair usually, and I agree with you on most things, but you're not being fair here. The star on the flag is an item on a list of things (evidence that Israeli law and society privileges Jews), nothing there indicating that she is "upset" by that one thing. If she's wrong, argue that.

FWIW, as an observer with no dog in the fight, I caught the (sympathetic, I thought) sarcasm immediately.

It's possible that they believe there to be some kind of material difference between expressing their opposition via skeet/post/rant and the actual sign-up. I think that you're right about that distinction being irrelevant, but only with a low degree of confidence.

But the protofascists haven't taken over the Canadian government yet. Let's hope they don't.

Remember, he's 40. "The mid 90s" is when he reached sufficient maturity to have an adolescent's comprehension of what the ACLU even is, and his particular pathology is that of a broken soul composed entirely of adolescent grievances, forever and ever while the popular kids suffer by his hand.

We have to continue to demand the right for all of us always. We aren't guaranteed to win this fight, but we might. (I like our chances, actually). But even if it looked hopeless that would be no reason to surrender.

This is insightful, and such a clear articulation of something that I perceived but could not articulate. (Yes, I am aware that you are in fact a professional articulator of thoughts. Thank you.)

I know what you mean of course, but "...domestic violence advocates" made me cringe a little.

Icky? I don't think it's icky at all. I think it's bad strategy, and counterproductive. And it's you who are being dismissive. I'm not judging your reasons for your approach, I'm just disagreeing that it's the correct one. I'm allowed to have an opinion too.

There's a certain "screw you I don't even want you as an ally unless you agree with me about every minute detail of everything, endorse my every utterance, and share my identity and background" on the identitarian left that is, I think, counterproductive.
