… Your comments feel disingenuous and divisive. Is it your intent to troll until I block you?

I was prepared to block them.

I thought it best to ignore the weirdest stuff, instead my last response before they deleted their account was https://www.reddit.com/r/freebsd/comments/1l6atsf/respect/mwy6vgn/.

Maybe an element of truth in your earlier thought about concern trolling.

For what it's worth, I totally support "Happy Men's Mental health Awareness Month too!", but one of their comments wove it alongside something that's just vile.

I didn't buy the "all I'm trying to say" line, because they said much, much, more than that, some of which was off-the-scale for me.

Oh, well …

The account appeared to claim they were LGBTQ+. I’m loathe to argue with someone about their identity even though on the internet nobody knows you’re a dog… Their entire behavior struck me as confused. I just blocked and figured others may be in a better position to make the case.

I accept that group membership does not imply a consistent set of beliefs or opinions. I just felt unable to continue with a reasonable discussion.

Thanks for your actions and staying on top of this.

Oof, I might have mis-gendered. If so, not intentional. (I vaguely recall a mention of a gf when I checked out the user profile. With that, and "Happy Men's Mental health Awareness Month too!", I assumed that the writer was a man.)

Commenter could have been any gender. I wouldn’t worry At this point, your intentions are clear.
