What kind of white washing (literally) is this?

Dude stockpiled guns and threatened multiple elected officials, and died in a shootout with the FBI. It's not like he was blowing off steam at the bowling alley FFS

Something, something states rights. That kind of white-washing.

@HWK_290

It's no less of a tragedy. Given how far he was able to descend into his persecution fantasy, there were clearly few choices when it came to addressing the concern when he started going right off the deep end.

Ugh, the deep state is compromising mental healthcare AND our elections

@HWK_290 if by 'deep state' you mean the republicans, then yes

I think some services/clients do that by default when you reply to someone. It may be how those services trigger notifications. (Also you can manually do it to "tag" someone which notifies them of your comment on most services, I think.)

It seems to quote who you are replying to by default when using firefish, for example.
