Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.
The rules are simple:
- The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
- The comic must be a complete story.
- If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
- Politeness.
- AI-generated comics aren't allowed.
- Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

Look, we obviously disagree and I think we'll continue to do so and I'd prefer to part amicably so I say this less to start a discussion and more just my personal opinion: I feel like, if you explained to an elementary school teacher that your behavior, actually, was different because you're not going out of your way to bother your classmate, just whenever you bumped into them…such a distinction won't mean much to them and your teacher's still going to end up calling your parents because of your behavior.
Kind of. If i told the teacher "they were bothering me so i decided to bother them", both our parents would get called. Neither of us is innocent. They didn't " bump into me" by accident. They do it on purpose and everybody is asking them to stop. So they really can't complain.
I'm fine with disagreeing. I just don't like feeling that it ended with me failing to express my poi t of view properly. If I did explain it correctly and you disagree, that is fine by me
That's entirely fair; I'm the same way.
I think the major difference (to me) is you're putting typing words that they write for their own comments (of which you can easily ignore or block) on par with someone going out of their way to push you. It doesn't really allow for any kind of plurality and sort of puts just annoying you on the level of personally targeting you for annoyance which feels like a major false equivalence. If simply commenting in a public space in the way they desire constitutes bothering you in a specific way, it feels on par with me feeling entitled to annoy people who spell "color" as "colour" just because it bothers me (it doesn't, actually, but for the sake of example). It feels much more targeted than them targeting you.
Welp. I'm satisfied. I think their commenting on other peoples post is as bad as my commenting on their comments. I think we have gotten our points across and I'm happy to agree to disagree.
Thanks for you patience. And I mean that honestly
Fair; I think you're right and agree to disagree.
And of course; I appreciate yours, as well.
