The "I Didn't Comment in Another Thread" Thread

[MarkB]

Damn. I was going to agree with you and then expand, but I was getting too political. Post deleted in favour of simple agreement.

Yeah, it's tricky to discuss whether there's any such thing as 'political' without getting too political. Suffice to say, there's a difference between empathising with someone's concern and agreeing with their position. But my initial statement was maybe reading too much into @Gradine 's message, and it wasn't fair of me to use their post as a springboard for that statement.

That's fair. My own assumption was that we were all here pretty much in agreement over which struggles are worth empathizing over, which is a dicey assumption to make on any internet forum, even this one!

It's an even dicier assumption after diving through that thread, yikes-a-dikes-a. My ignore list practically tripled by the end of that.

But it's just as often the other way around - the oppressors demanding that everyone else empathise with them and stop pushing their 'liberal agendas' upon them.

Mod Note:
And now we are into politics as the boards define them, and I'm going to have to ask folks to stop.

Yikes, just including a diverse cast seems to be considered political for some folks here...

I'm sure if you developed an rpg where the entire point of the game is that everyone is playing a copy of the exact same generic safety-yellow plastic cube, someone would immediately begin complaining about representation.

You're right, thats exactly the same.

Mod Note:
When a moderator has noted that the discussion has gone too far, and folks should stop, that means they really should stop.

So, please stop.

It's ok to just shut up and let it go.

Heh, I just reached exactly this point five minutes ago and unwatched a couple of threads. Funny how that works.
