      I saw a comment the other day where they (Flying Squid) claimed to be in their 40s. Idk about mental health issues, but they are incredibly hostile/argumentative in comments.

          For whatever this is worth, he is argumentative & unfriendly enough for him to be mentioned multiple times in this thread as a famous asshole. (Note, many comments have now been “removed by mod” - but they were there. Just mentioning it in case someone tries to Ctrl+F their name to verify.)

            For whatever it’s worth, you were agreeing with a lying troll account about what an asshole I am.

            I’m just saying it seems a bit counterproductive to your argument.

                Really? The squid’s take in that thread is everyday normal, especially for those of us older folks who grew up with parents who innocently took photos of us as babies in the tub. It was super common, and not at all intended to gratify anyone sexually.

                Also, the squid’s demeanor in the linked exchange remained fair despite them being repeatedly implied to be some kind of pedophile. If anything, their position in that debate (and their fair demeanor) made me like them more, not less.

                Wait a second… Maybe this link was all part of a slick PR move to boost the squid’s profile! Well played sir/madam!

                I haven’t seen any troll account lying about you

                See those deleted posts in this specific thread? That would be the troll. Who is now banned because it was a troll account.

                And yes, again, I know you hate me because you think I’m a pedophile.
