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

Harlan's Razor leads us right back to the issue I spoke about before, which is the tendency for gamers to seriously overestimate the stupidity of people they disagree with. The sentiment he is expressing feels good. But I don't think it leads to greater understanding. That doesn't mean people having uninformed opinions can't be an issue. But I think it does mean, thinking you are smarter than the other person in a disagreement because they are less informed, less educated, etc doesn't entitle you to be a jerk.

This bears repeating. Sometimes the person who doesn't understand is us.

Thanks for linking an article that 100% proves my point for me. That you think this is an example that helps your case, proves that the conversation is pointless.

Jean-Paul Sartre has entered the chat.

Yes, it has happened, and no, I am not okay with it...

Admittedly, it was only a few flakes and not nearly enough to stick, but still...

The scene would be so much better without the near-constant stream of bigotry. If you’re tired of being “persecuted” for being a bigot, maybe try the one thing you haven’t tried yet: stop being a bigot.

This is kind of the thing though, if you never get called a bigot, the issue doesn't seem as important. I have a friend on facebook who was complaining about it. What does one say when not facing these issues? Though as an old white I guy, I am sure I am, just never called on it, I mean I try not to be, for what it is worth.

Tell me you don't spend much time on that site without telling me you don't spend much time on that site.

I've never heard of "that site". Tell me, have you fallen into TV Tropes yet?
