I'm trying to decide if you've ever bothered me, but in the meantime, do know that my thinking can be bribed with chocolate chip cookies.

In regards to the OP subject, I do get pretty strongly scrutinized from time to time, as well. Although I never really know how to respond to that, and usually I respond in the wrong way. It's never as simple as, "Prove X and we'll be done." The scrutiny in question is always more like, "I feel that what you feel isn't what you truly feel."
Not harassed, no, since I don't give everyone's opinions or input equal weight. I have had some members try to make me feel that way over the years (including one who sent me a death threat after being moderated), but I simply treated it as an attempt to provoke. Said members failed to get what they wanted out of me due to my not feeling bothered by what they said.
I have sometimes felt that my arguments or positions were misrepresented, misunderstood, etc., or that someone was unnecessarily hostile or toxic, but that's par for the course on the internet. It's also different from feeling harassed, which I haven't experienced.

That is very old British joke and the punchline is, wear them in bed

Use any and all pronouns including neo and it/it's
Not harassed no. But I have had my beliefs insulted by both Christians and atheists and have had to get mods involved in I think 3 threads because of it. And I had one user insult me because of my disability making ableist remarks. That user was a troll tho and RF kicked them off the site. But at the time it really messed me up cause it caused a flashback.

Death threat, dear lord.
As to you being misunderstood etc I find that surprising since I think your posts are particularly well thought out and clearly articulated. (That's my honest opinion, not creeping to staff, although it never does any harm to put some credit in the bank
)

Shhh, you'll blow my cover.
There have been a very few who I have found to be so difficult to dialogue with that eventually I've put them on ignore. I have no interest in wasting my time trying to discourse reasonably with someone totally uninterested in reason.
But harassed, no I haven't felt that.

Before I was a mod there were a few. One person showed up and claimed they knew me from some other site, said I was a master mason and that they were here to do some kind of battle or something. I denied it, and they went away. I think they trolled some people and got into trouble. Another person was following my posts and trolling them. They got into trouble. There are all kinds of people on the internet. Some have severe paranoia. Some have got undeveloped personalities and seek boundaries. To me it seems like some people just have to touch fire once in a while or they stop believing its real.
