    @failnaut @PixieJenni @pjedavison the point of these words is to humiliate and ostracise, not to convince.
  608. …in reply to @failnaut
    @failnaut @PixieJenni @pjedavison They are not for the recipient, they are for people watching the exchange. They are to shame the recipient

    @failnaut @PixieJenni @pjedavison There are completely valid times to shame and ostracise people.

    @failnaut @PixieJenni @pjedavison I want to be hostile! I want to send a clear message that I have contempt for you if you say <that shit>

    @PixieJenni @failnaut @pjedavison right - so if it seems likely, if you have the energy, talking them round is obviously better.
  613. …in reply to @PixieJenni
    @PixieJenni @failnaut @pjedavison If it's your site/house/organization, letting them know that saying <that> will get them banned, is better
  614. …in reply to @PixieJenni
    @PixieJenni @failnaut @pjedavison But if you have no actual power over them but social, insults, ostracism and contempt might be best.

    @PixieJenni @failnaut @pjedavison because otherwise, observers might think that <that shit> is a reasonable, possible position to have.
  617. @failnaut @PixieJenni @pjedavison right- and your own safety has to come first.But I want to defend it as a valid tactic, if only for others
