She’s quoting a democracy docket post. Don’t sea lion her. Google if you want to read more in depth.

@Bam @GottaLaff Thanks but I need accreditation - I don't think that's unreasonable in these times.

@Bam @GottaLaff you aren't listening just opinioning good luck.

GottaLaff OP ,
@GottaLaff@mastodon.social avatar

@Probertd8 @Bam wasn't "opinioning"... he was stating a fact.

I saw an alert from Democracy Docket, MARC ELIAS's group.

I posted it. He Googled it. Fact.

They since updated with a link:

Bam is one of the best, btw.

@GottaLaff @Bam That's great - I am not going to apologise for questioning things.

GottaLaff OP ,
@GottaLaff@mastodon.social avatar

@Probertd8 I never suggested it wasn't a word.

And I also don't post things that aren't legit.
@Bam knows that.

@GottaLaff @Bam It doesn't hurt to question does it?

GottaLaff OP ,
@GottaLaff@mastodon.social avatar

@Probertd8 Of course not, but I named the source. And the source is one of the most reliable on social media. @Bam

GottaLaff OP ,
@GottaLaff@mastodon.social avatar

@Probertd8 No, I did that to quote you. It had nothing to do with the meaning or existence of the word, it was your saying it was @Bam's opinion, when it was fact.

@Probertd8 @GottaLaff @Bam you're an awful troll bro, try way harder.

@Robb_Munson @GottaLaff @Bam My background is in philosophy where we learn to question.
What do you do? Other than blindly ascent?
And by the way I have trolled nobody!!!

GottaLaff OP ,
@GottaLaff@mastodon.social avatar

@Probertd8 That does it. "Blindly ascenting" is not what it's called when you read a credible source being quoted in a post.

Had I posted a blind quote with no attribution, or a quote from some source that was questionable, then sure.

Oh, & this time I'm " " "ascenting" for the meaning. It's not a word. https://www.google.com/search?client=safari&rls=en&q=definition+ascenting&ie=UTF-8

"Ascending" is, which would be wrong here.

Hey Bam, you were right.

Probertd8. You've insulted me and my professionalism enough here.

Back atcha @GottaLaff ! 😘 Thank you for what you do here, despite what trolling sea lions like @Probertd8 act like, the vast majority of us appreciate what you bring to our feeds.

GottaLaff OP ,
@GottaLaff@mastodon.social avatar

@Bam Thanks. Anyone who follows me should know by now that I ALWAYS attribute, provide legit news and sources, and provide links when available or if I'm not rushing through live-posting or other issues. @Probertd8
