Short stories from a tiny girl.

I might not be active here, for a while, because of upcoming events.

Nick's smugly stupid reply

Notice the way he replies to the top bleet, trying to keep the reader from seeing the bleets below? Standard issue bad actor behavior.

His response to this gentle correction was to rageblock and post personal abuse

Yes, he did it. Posted an abusive, ignorant reply

and then blocked me, trying to give himself the last word, and I guess maybe forgetting that the nuclear block would remove his reply from below my comments, as well.

I'm happy to put it back with a receipt.

In the case of flyflicker, the answer to that was "no." Thi8s fellow who seemed awfully eager to use the word "dems" and sing the praises of Pres. Trump flew into a narcissistic rage and blocked me.

Because how I mention that other cultures exist?

I then had to follow with another bleet, because of character limits.

We do know the ethnocentrism is a thing to be avoided in the discussion of other cultures, don't we?

I brought up the issue of cultural differences.

One can't just assume that what would drive off customers with names like "Smith" and "Johnson" in Oregon, would be a deal-breaker in Italy or in Egypt.

Which, in this case, would be two of the markets in question.

Bypassing a rageblocking ... in response to this poorly thought out comment from flyflicker ...

I posted a reply that he doesn't seem to have the emotional maturity needed to handle.
