Comment on The consequences (of my actions) have been extreme

There’s no scenario where you’re not the a-hole if you’re going to parrot something someone else told you in private, elsewhere.

There is no scenario where you “extending trust” to someone protects you from potential consequence.

If you’re sharing things in confidence that could get you in trouble, you’re already making a mistake, and this triggers some people and I cannot fathom why. Just be more careful and you’ll be fine, you’re not entitled to privacy on the internet, you cannot predict what other people do, and even if you’re totally in the right and someone else is deliberately trying to “take you down” you have made mistakes in extending trust to people you don’t know well enough, on the internet, about things that could have consequences.

I am sad that people never taught their kids how to use the internet back when it was newer, they just all said “nothing there is real, don’t worry about it” while we all use it all day, every day, with no real guidance.

  I don’t know who you’re “angry” with but you’re either soft-defending the people who had the server or doing the worst job in the world specifying who you’re directing criticism at.
  
  The abuse of trust is the problem there, not the trust itself…

  I’ve definitely got some bleak ass humor with some friends in private but forwarding messages people sent you in private to other people and group chats? Really?
  
  I think a lot of people here feel like you’re mounting a case against Derek, or at least saying the guys with the discord server are not accountable or less accountable.

    Explain to me me how “someone told you in private” would ever apply to derrick leaking a group chat. What is private about a group chat?
    
    Obviously I’m talking about the guy that forwarded juicy messages someone sent to him personally to his buddies in this leaked group chat.

    I’m still completely confused how you seem to be shifting your stances around. Despite how much fun you seem to be having trolling everyone, I do NOT find recreational enjoyment arguing with people who don’t know how to string words together, so I will block you to end this, you’re on your own with everyone else you’ve confused here over the exact same messages.
