Halvar's Bridge @halvarsbridge.bsky.social · 2h⬆️ I was unable to go to that game store & refused to promote that space (owner was a friend & I had a HS GameClub) until this person eventually removed himself (as more people reacted to his escalation). While I lost that space & hurt the owner, I felt like I dodged a bullet instead of paid a price. 010
