   So the “let’s bash Aral” thread apparently continues as folks crawl out from under their rocks. Besides learning that I apparently had over 100K+ followers on Twitter (didn’t) to set on people (what a tyrant) I apparently also *checks notes*… spoke disrespectfully about the CCC.

   Folks, what can I say, it’s true.

   There was also one time I left the toilet seat up. I’m not proud of it. I just totally forgot.

   I’m sorry.

   Now, let’s get back to stopping #Israel from committing #genocide in #Gaza.

     2/2 (For those of you who might not know, CCC stands for Chaos Computing Club. It is an organisation that no one should ever speak disrespectfully about ­– or else! Seriously. Like people remember these things. As the old saying goes “it’s not worse than antisemitism, but still”.)

     @aral I was briefly concerned you were a CCC stan, jeez what a thread. Sounds like a whole headache

     @ryanprior At least it’s not as bad as Twitter was.

     (I know that’s not exactly a glowing endorsement.)

     What can I say, I hadn’t missed all this at all.

     @foolishowl @shalf But I was apparently disrespectful of it at one time, man. Disrespectful, can you imagine. Of the CCC. Me! At some point. What must I have said. This is really going to keep me up at night.

     @shalf @aral I've kind of assumed that CCC is big and influential enough that it probably has some flaws mixed in with the good it's done.

     @aral what business would you have with Polish shoemakers?!?
     Also I didn't know they are so sensitive to hold a grudge ?!?

     Then again, don't like the shoes - don't buy them rather than talk smack! Not cool man, not cool ...
