Right now while I'm in active treatment for extensive PTSD is not the best time for people to start lying about me and setting me up as a strawman guru in opposition to their favorite religious leaders. I do not have moderate responses available.
People who want imaginary mes to scream about are exhausting at the best of times.
It would be less depressing if it were a kind of freakish one-off where I won the stupidity roulette, but no, this kind of behaviour is absolutely typical. It's why I hate the fucking politics and just want to be left alone to do my research, and frankly if ragequitting the whole damn thing is what it takes to get that....
I mean, ok, yeah, patriarchy, you're not allowed to just decide they're a waste of volume and ignore them because their social needs are axiomatically important, but patriarchy is way serious wrong about that.
I would suppose the next question is "how do you keep it from being an energy-expenditure/attrition contest", or, almost as good, keep an energy/attrition contest from being legitimate?
I have suggested to those parties who are inclined to pay attention to the erroneous declarations that they might be well-advised to reread the rules of the area, given that they contain the facts that they were ignoring.
Also that I do not have time for this bullshit, and that they should think for themselves for a change.
Local tradition originally started among a bunch of my DC area pagan friends. Attacks of significant WTF out of the blue were, uh, rewarded by blueberry goods being gifted to the unfortunate recipient of that drama meteorite by sympathetic and understanding other community members. The idea was really something like "well, if you have to put up with that craziness, at least you get to do it with delicious blueberries". So it's not always necessarily tea, that's just what gets sent to me since I like tea. Other people have had blueberry mead sent to them. I think there were a couple of other variants as well.

Hope it works. (Meaning people are actually concerned with something other than being nuisances.)
