What threads through a discussion thread is the subject matter, not the self-conscious imagined subject of the discussion. And that subject matter is shared, at least in civil discussion and conversation. It is only interpreted as personal all the time by the self-absorbed.
Imagine a president who is blameless, but blames everyone and anyone else for their faults and misjudgments and insulting diatribes.
And imagine someone who announces the schedule of their agenda and departure as a commitment to themselves, then changes it on whim. Certainly a human entitlement, but how credible and trustworthy would their further commitments, comments and causes be?

Mods, can we get a ruling on this, maybe an intervention? I say peartreed is trolling me, and have asked for it to stop.
I think some outside perspective would be helpful, here. I don't want to say anything I'll regret, and hopefully it will deescalate the situation. If you don't think I'm being trolled, I'll respect your judgement.

Hey, you know what would be cool? If this saloon had a mechanical squid. You know, like a mechanical bull. But, squid. Wonder where you can get one of those. Maybe ebay.

Of course, there is magic, and then there is magic. Any sufficiently advanced magic is distinguishable from technology.
The Master and His Emissary. The Tempest. Metamorphoses. Aeneid. The Iliad...
Conversations between the living and the dead through black antiquity.
You can have any kind of magic that you want.
Squid Inc.
But you know: Can't help everyone; can't save anyone. Can only hope no one gets hurt in the process
