Twitter has a huge problem, and it’s in your head

When someone is condemning others for being filled with hate while labeling their object of condemnation as "vile" and labeling them with a term virtually always used as a pejorative, they are looking very guilty of the crime they accuse others of. Even if the term SJW might in some rare cases not be a pejorative, when mixed with "vile" and "hate-filled" it's hard to see it as anything else. I don't know or care what "tactics" means, I was just pointing out hypocrisy and suggesting self-reflection. I don't mind if others think I'm preachy for doing so.

Then I would say, in that case, you are using the very tactic you claim to dislike.

I don't have any idea what "tactic" means in this context, and didn't claim to dislike a term where I've already explained that I don't even know what the term means. In fact, I didn't make any claim to dislike anything in this thread.

I did point out that using pejoratives along with terms like "vile" and "hate-filled" is hypocritical.

Ah, I see now, you are indeed correct. My saying you dislike the term is just my interpretation of your posts, my bad.
