To be fair he's doing his best to twist into a pretzel by trying to remain fair and abide by the standards some have provided here. Imagine if the police in England, after receiving a harassment claim and with no other evidence then the claim itself, would show up and force the accused to...

Considering that the person who came in here to tell us about why her and her friends were attempting to create an all female table top group painted the picture that the vast majority of the community was against it, that would seem like a successful event. Would it not? When you have the...

I know you've said your goal isn't to be fair, its to resolve conflict. Why should convention management work to resolve conflicts? And please don't tell me its because it's not fair (or any other related synonym) to the other participants that they've paid their ticket prices and are behaving...

EDIT for some reason this post didn't appear after I posted it so I created the one below. Sorry.

Do you mean the inclusion of certain demographics in any fashion is less appealing, or is it the manner in which its done that would make it less appealing?

I was labeled a troll earlier and accused of comparing the experiences of people being subject to false accusations to those who've experienced sexual assault, so don't feel too bad because its not just you.

I disagree that a dongle joke (I have a big dongle - I believe was the effect of the joke) is comparative to a racist joke making fun of black people. So what about my kitchen joke that I might have made to my wife. That's one of my original examples that you said I was over reacting about...

For you, but not for me. And I'm not signing up with the "he's a horrible person, lets berate him" group. I'd like to know why he feels the way he feels.

I do my best to approach any conversation with the idea that if a statement can be interpreted 2 or 3 different ways that they meant the best and most positive interpretation, not the worst and most negative. Until proven otherwise, of course. It actually works very well and keeps a lot of the...

That's fine, but do you think its easier to build what you want from scratch rather than simply changing the transsexual mayor (I believe that was the example) to whatever it is you feel comfortable role playing as? Table top game creators, so far as I've understood them, have emphasized that...

I don't think for a second that it does, but if that's how you feel don't buy prepared material and build your campaign from scratch - like a lot of people do. Personally speaking I've often used prepared campaigns as a framework to mold and fit my tastes. Some of the dialogue is a bit tacky...

FBI stats certainly support the young black males and crime connection, so you're still on the hook for that. And I guess you glossed over my comment of the FBI report itself didn't you. Unless you think that "tree spiking" should be counted along side mass shootings and bombings, those FBI...

As I look through this, what do you have to say about your original link to the FBI report who included "tree spiking" and "attempted vandalism" with regards to terrorism? Regardless of whether or not you think that those things are actually terrorism, hopefully you can see the difference...

I've seen this sort of mentality spread through 3 or 4 of my other hobbies already so you'll have to forgive me if I seem concerned about that. Many universities here in America have implemented similar "micro-aggression" policies. If you'd like I can link you to some videos/articles. In...

Likewise, worldwide looking at violent terrorist attacks, its mostly Muslims doing it. Same goes for crime and black males between 25-35, and the same goes for women and child abuse. Are you ok with those? If you are, then fine, swing away at the white male table toppers who are mostly...

I'll let them speak for themselves but I know of at least 3 or 4 people who have no issue what so ever wanting this conversation to continue focusing on race, gender and whatever else. But yes I do agree with you... While I've always taken note of poor behavior I'll certainly start to speak to...

I wonder what the response would be if someone posted about an issue that the community was experiencing with women and quotes a pretty spitefully titled MRA article about the way women were behaving in a specific setting, and said article went on to tell females to stop, listen, and ask how...

Noted, thanks as that is an important distinction. I agree, everyone who is well behaved and interested should be welcome to play.

Where's the harm in wanting to have an all male, or female, table top campaign? I don't think this sort of behavior should be demonized.

Looking through the FBI's list I have to wonder how they're defining terrorism. Some of the charges listed in their report are as minor as "attempted vandalism" and "tree spiking". You'll have to excuse me, and I'm not trying to minimize property owners who's property has been vandalized or...
