Reply to comment by Eagle_Arm in Decentering Whiteness in Hiking and Fostering Inclusivity Outdoors by honeybeedreams

It’s really not a lot of effort and I don’t understand why you’re being so negative. It seems like you want to argue and that’s not beneficial.

I'm not being negative. You said you didn't care about others' actions on trails....then you said what you do prefer what people do....so you care.

You're just not acknowledging that and then went on a "how I help people" side quest that had nothing to do with the original point.

So you diverted the point to talk about how you're a good person....how is that not being self-righteous or having a savior complex?

You’re being incredibly negative. The other commenter says they care but they try to not focus on it and instead do something positive. You spin that as some savior complex thing. You are wrong here.

Show me any one of their comments in this comment thread that doesn't show them as a savior for others who can't help themselves? Just send the link or copy/paste it.

Oh, it's all of them.

No thanks, because I’m not obsessed with arguing. That would be you.

I'd say it's having you back up your point, but you already know the answer to the question because you can't find it. Is this the part where I add, you are wrong here?

I mean, not much of a conversation or argument. You pointed out something that is easily disproven and then refused to acknowledge that.....so I guess you're going with the toddler route of yelling and then sticking yor fingers in your ears.

Is holding your breath next?

No. I think I made it pretty clear that I don’t worry much about things I can’t fix and I try to not let them detract from my own experiences or enjoyment. I talked about being part of a community and how we don’t always like everyone in that community but we can still be kind to each other. I don’t go around tutting at everyone who does things that I don’t like.
