Wait — this is amazing. You caught them saying something dumb, but redacted their name. But then they came to your post to out themselves entirely and complain to you, except their explanation is that they’re not a tankie as such, only a complete fool.
I remember the thread as it happened and only saw this now come up in my local feed: The person in question immediately edited their post with a correction, left the statement up for the correction to have meaning, and publicly thanked the person who corrected them.
The way that thread stands is a learning moment.
This, unfortunately, truncates all that out and just leaves the bad take uncorrected.
…which eliminates the amicable resolution and any understanding that was ultimately achieved from the interaction.
