Maybe. Maybe. Maybe not.

I'm sorry you had a bad experience.

And again another irresponsible person comes to try and whisper in my ear “try it again”. Absolutely horrific morality

They did not do that.

Yes they literally did. I spoke on various topics, one of those being about how people try to convince me to take more drugs. Their sole response? Telling me, in effect, "maybe you won't have a bad trip next time". This cannot be interpreted in any other way than to convince me to open up to the possibility of taking such drugs again which is exactly what I am criticising.

So yes, they did do that.

No.

One in technology should learn to not speak about things in such absolutes, we get proven silly time and time again.

It seems your LSD experience further traumatized you.

I am sorry you had a bad experience.

Now you are mocking me? Why do you want to make me take LSD again?

You are putting intent where there is not.

When someone else tried to explain that to you, you doubled down.

Note that I said: "we get proven silly time and time again". You made that statement a personal attack on you.

It fucking says "we".

This is just a perfect example of what I'm talking about about.

Your trauma has given you a particular worldview that is assigning intent or malice where there is none.

I won't return to this thread, it's not of any relevance and you're clearly worked up about this.

Peace be with you.

The only thing you said is “maybe maybe not” to me saying that I won’t take drugs again bc I know next time I’ll have a bad time. How is that appropriate? Let’s stick with what you did wrong and how it is indicative of the blasé attitude people have about the risks. All I’m doing is pointing that out but since I mentioned trauma you are weaponising it against me

Why do you want to convince me to take drugs?
