He definitely blocked me precisely at the point I observed that being proudly quarrelsome is not, in fact, the mark of someone who takes the stakes of a debate seriously and in good faith but is generally associated with simply being an asshole who takes perverse pleasure in being a shit.
Faculty, your job is to be annoyed at the administration and back the students 100%!

Almost everything we argue about is a substitute for the thing we should be arguing about: the immense wealth & power of an oligarchic class, which captures governments, ruins lives and wrecks the living planet.
This class redirects our rage at scapegoats. To resist its lies is to resist its power.
Definitely not gonna miss being regaled weekly with every mentally ill rando's theory of how [fill in the blank]* are the reason the UK is in economic freefall
*A comprehensive list of scapegoards I heard included Jews, the CIA in cahoots with Mormons, Somalis, Muslims, women, the woke, Nigerians
The naked Italian beating the daylights out of a pickpocket and holding him in a chokehold while showing his literal ass to the entire hostel will stay in my memory for a long time.
Will we ever solve the mystery of who pooped in a paper bag in their room and deposited it in the bin? The world may never know the answer.
The mystery drain pooper was pretty good, too.
Ahhhhh just remembered the 12 hour drunken temper tantrum this older Indian woman had -- ending in her being dragged out of the hostel by two police officers -- because someone rolled her bags out of the way so that he could access his own bed.
And let us never forget the same white nationalist's grand strategy to save the UK by literally nuking the entire British Isles in order to create a public works project to employ the underemployed.
Overall, I think that the Oxford ABD being afraid of a mouse having babies on his face moment was the most memorable moment, but punching the white nationalist in the dick for trying to mansplain good vs bad migration to me when I was PMSing was up there.
I know that all of you will be sad not to hear my absolutely batshit English hostel adventures anymore, but I just signed for a real adult flat and live in Wales now.
That's kind of what I suspected but I wasn't 100% sure!
I apologize for the lack of bee pics for the last week but I haven't seen any Welsh bees yet.
Do it! Do it!
Omg you too? Lollllll
Oh noooo
KRMA B*CH
Imagine a "do you post as Magnolia Fan on MoviePoopShoot dot com?" moment.
I mean. Straight from the mouth of god
Oh no, he blocked me. Do you think he'll be mad if I hunt down his address and show up on his doorstep to continue the discussion?
istg democracy is going to die because debate me bros think arguing is just a fucking game for them to get hard to.
If you actually gave two figs about meaningful debate, you would stop arguing in favor of it as a form of getting rocks off for the minority of people who enjoy that and argue in favor of it as something open for everyone to improve their fucking lives.
I'm so glad you, in London, who have no skin in this game, want vigorous debate, but many people weighing in DO have skin in the game. there is nothing fair or open about "discussions" in which some people's skin is more at risk than others, effectively preventing them from participating.
I read the article, and the use of councillors' names being published without attaching addresses to that publication implies another alternative which you are aggressively ignoring in order to be proudly "quarrelsome," as your bio indicates. Stop being a cunt merely for the sake of being a cunt.
Your continued expansion of the term "anonymity" to elide the fact that what is being proposed is a withholding of address information and not name strongly suggests that you are arguing in bad faith here. The original article is not proposing anonymity. It is proposing redacting contact information
"not everyone" is not the same as "no one." Your continued refusal to acknowledge the valid reasons that people in numerous common situations fear reprisals from abusers, unscrupulous employers, landlords, vendors, or clients is naive, at best, and willfully proving the point, at worst.
"offer to meet and discuss?" The discussion can happen at the council. This kind of creepy tracking down bullshit is PRECISELY what does NOT need to happen. Some entitled schmuck showing up on my doorstep for a "discussion" is inappropriate -- the place for discussion is in the council format.
A person can put their name to their opinion and let it be known it is theirs without also having to put their address, phone number, blood type, and full copies of their birth certificate to it.
Jesus Christ, it's like the absolute worst "inventions" that students would show up with on invention day in 6th grade, and it's just some totally useless chimera of two unrelated things super glued together
Omg so dramatic! (Épée here)
