Why would I do that? I do not want you to leave. I will ask you instead not to read things into what I say and then jump to conclusions based upon your own imaginings. If my comments were intended to be about you, then I would have mentioned you by name. A little less paranoia wouldn't go amiss, my dear Tiff — Sapientia
I have been quite open, for quite a long time now, about my lowered estimation of the value of philosophy. Hence my unsolicited advice. It's nothing personal at all. — Sapientia
It wasn't a lecture it was unsolicited advice. — ArguingWAristotleTiff
But in the process of you lowering your estimation of the value of philosophy and offering unsolicited advice, it makes me question the purpose of your responses, especially when you could give a flip as to how your responses are received. — ArguingWAristotleTiff
It is as I said, and I have nothing further to add. — Sapientia
I have filed your "unsolicited advice" in my "special cabinet". — Sapientia
Why am I even talking to you? We are not of the same calibre and I can think of better ways to spend my time. Good day, Tiff. — Sapientia
I couldn't tell if that exchange between you both, ArguingWAristotleTiff, @Sapientia was sincere, camaraderie, camaraderie laced with poison or so steeped in irony it inverted itself. — fdrake
In my experience if there are a few active posters showing contempt for the forum's staff it ends up being very unpleasant for everyone. Members get frustrated with the toxic environment, since public conflict between staff and member groups quickly becomes an institutional problem. — fdrake
I've defended you lots of times, and I hope that you don't think I've ever disrespected you, we's tight. — Wosret
What actual female contributors has Sapientia made leave because of clashes of values and ideologies? How do you know what the women want out of their philosophy, do you attract them to the forum, or scare them outs? — Wosret
She fucking hated you though, and you were a big contributing factor in her leaving. That's just a fact. What actual female contributors has Sapientia made leave because of clashes of values and ideologies? How do you know what the women want out of their philosophy, do you attract them to the forum, or scare them outs? — Wosret
Hello Kevin. I wish it was nice to meet you. But it isn't. It's petty unpleasant. You lower the tone of the discussion and exemplify what I have wanted to bring to the fore. This forum is sexist, full of macho posing, competitive foulness, and locker room talk. Locker rooms are segregated, and you are doing your best to keep the forum segregated. I think you should stop being a moderator and moderate your own behaviour. — unenlightened

Just because a man disagrees with a woman in the same way he disagrees with other males on the forum does not suggest to me that he is sexist. — Agustino
Get involved in philosophical discussions about knowledge, truth, language, consciousness, science, politics, religion, logic and mathematics, art, history, and lots more. No ads, no clutter, and very little agreement — just fascinating conversations.
