Bye. — Mongrel
I hope you are not suggesting that we have an unmoderated forum?
— unenlightened
No, but I would be as hands off as possible. I requested this before, but there really needs to be an ignore feature on this forum. That's a pretty glaring oversight by its makers. Nonetheless, it is still possible to ignore users you don't like, so I still have a hard time feeling sorry for you. — Thorongil
Over the years in the previous forum I have manage to arrive at sense of personal security that allows me to be quite sensitive and yet more or less immune from hurt. It is a condition of being eager to learn and change, but unattached to what has already been learned. — unenlightened
You do show good technique, reframing a horrifying tragedy to a dance party. However the effort doesn't indicate immunity. — praxis
I realize now I'm not talking about this forum. I don't give a fuck about this forum. I'm talking about the United States. — Mongrel
I don't understand how someone can be "silenced". It's an online forum! How do you "silence" someone? I suppose by banning them perhaps. Otherwise they only remain silent if they want to remain silent.silence others — Srap Tasmaner
:-O You should've threatened to put the cops on him. Then he may have turned from that big loud-mouthed dirty boy into a whimpering coward, like in this very recent example >:OI should add that I once received a murder-threat, from a "moderator" at a Spiritual forum. Of course there were no consequences to the perp. — Michael Ossipoff
That's not the same as silenced. It's their choice not to speak anymore if that is the case, no?"Less inclined to speak" — Srap Tasmaner
I said:
Nobody should be telling women how they should feel about sexism
— Baden
Hope it's clear now. — Baden
I don't know what the dispute was, that disillusioned or discouraged you, so of course I'm not in a position to disagree with you or judge your objections. — Michael Ossipoff
I think the line of the left is that since sexism is used against women (or at least used to be used against women) more frequently than against men it would be an equivocation to say "nobody should be telling men how they should feel about sexism". Not that I agree with their position, but that's what I think people on the left generally think.Just to be clear, you would also say that, "Nobody should be telling men how they should feel about sexism," right? — Buxtebuddha
Some dancers are a bit wild and inconsiderate, and you might want to remonstrate, but if a drunk is flailing about knocking people down and throwing up on them, it's time to call in the bouncers. — unenlightened
Of all of the forums that I've ever participated in, this is the only one with genuinely effective moderation, ...and with moderation that isn't abused. — Michael Ossipoff
I should add that I once received a murder-threat, from a "moderator" at a Spiritual forum. Of course there were no consequences to the perp. — Michael Ossipoff
It's their choice not to speak anymore if that is the case, no? — Agustino
