Deeply disturbing

[Mike Thick]

For the record, here's what I say happened: I entered #SouthernChat on my phone after getting some lunch at Chick-Fil-A, saw that some other guys were talking to Jimmie about where Blair stands ideologically in the context of a PM he had received from a Laborite, and joined in. I had absolutely no intention of intimidating him into changing his vote, and didn't even realize that he had already voted until a ways into the conversation -- my Atlas viewing to that point had mostly consisted of following the Clinton email story. The tone of the conversation was friendly throughout, and I didn't get the impression that Jimmie was feeling bullied or anything like that.

However, I have apologized to Jimmie, and I'll accept the consequences (legal or otherwise) of my actions.

fwiw, keep in mind I am  not in the best mental shape and I get scared of pissing people off.

     I'm the same way. I end up feeling intimidated by really minor stuff sometimes, because my attitude is strongly non-confrontational.

Yeah, I sometimes feel attacked by things that I realize were really stupid and minor later on. Partially because I have a hard time telling whether people are kidding or not sometimes.
