I'm not accusing you of taking cues. I'm accusing you of being on team take offense at every little thing. Which you are, because you are so pro calling people sexist that you think the person in the wrong is the person who was being accused of sexism incorrectly, and you don't think it's a big deal to call people sexist.Orion wrote:Your accusations that I am somehow taking my cues from Crissa or PL are misguided. I often post after them because I'm less quick to jump into the fray here, but I only post what I've been thinking silently all along. I'm not part of some clique with Crissa and PL. I actually can't stand Crissa and find Pl only intermittently lucid.
Because you think that saying the word trap is bad, but actively making false accusations is not a big deal.
I don't particularly like Zine either, and the US soldiers are racists thread was the thread were Zine decided he didn't hate me any more, because like everyone else, he was first introduced by me calling him an idiot.
But if you are going to advocate a "four people means you can't say a word" policy, I'm going to go find four people, and ask you if that counts, so you can recognize your stupidity.
My defense is that using a non offensive word is not being an asshole or bigoted. My defense is that when four people get together and say "X offends me" that those four people are idiots, and the stupidest thing anyone could do is stop using a word because easily offended retards get upset.Orion wrote:but if your *defense* is claim to be an asshole... I don't know why you bother.
Four people on this forum are upset by the fact that Frank Trollman talks about Shadowrun, should he stop doing that?
Four people on this forum are upset that you guys keep taking offense to everything.
I personally am upset that people keep using the pronoun "he" to refer to me after I specifically asked them not to. But I'm also not going to throw a shit fit about it and demand that people not be allowed to call me he, because if I did I would be setting the precedent for stopping Frank from talking about Shadowrun.
Because Censorship is fucking bad, and it's bad when it's self censorship, and it's bad when you don't use non offensive words because some people told you they are offended by their use, because it makes it easier to just take offense everytime an important issue comes up, like you know, when homophobes take offense at the subject of gay marriage being brought up.
Please tell me that was done on purpose to piss me off. I would respect you so much more than options a and b, you are an idiot, or it's just an idiom you happened to use.Orion wrote:who has prejudice in their soul.
