Comment on Has ethernet become illegitimate? A librarian flipped out after spotting me using ethernet
EssentialCoffee@midwest.social 2 months agoWhy didn’t you tell this librarian that you’d asked another librarian and they said it was okay to plug in? Why was none of this included in the original post?

The librarian who said it was okay to plugin (which they likely understood to mean plugin an A/C power cord) was young, not as senior as the other person. I’m not going to take someone down and get them in trouble for not picking apart what it means when someone asks if they can “plug-in”. What would the point be? I didn’t need a defense. I got scolded and was walking out. Police were not called and I was not detained. And if that had happened, I would have exercised my right to remain silent.

You sound insufferable. You used vague wording to justify not using your phone to get internet, and act like child when you get caught. They’re not hostile to Ethernet, they’re hostile to you and your behaviour.

Great example of getting mad at a bitch eating crackers.
I merely unplugged my ethernet cable from the wall.

Could I be in the wrong? No, it must be literally everyone else in this entire thread / national library network.
Grow up. You set out to get in trouble, you got yourself in trouble, no one is impressed.
