Today I learned that ruby red grapefruits are the product of atomic gardening.

I'd begin releasing new official products for previous editions of D&D, all of which would be POD products via the DMs Guild. Obviously there wouldn't be many of these issued in a given year, and there'd probably be minimal artwork in order to keep production costs down, but I think it'd be...

Tay tried to warn us... But we didn't listen.

Are warning points still a thing? I was looking at my profile, and realized they weren't listed anywhere; is this something that Xenforo wiped out, or have they moved, or something else?

I mean, "don't make it personal" is one of the basic rules of conduct on this forum. I'm not sure why you'd even make a statement like this, short of a veiled reference to things you know you're not supposed to say on here. Maybe don't do that from now on?

So people online are only hypothetical people?

And likewise, your point doesn't impact mine. So that was quite the pointless little tangent on your part, there. And that'd be a very salient point if not for the fact that it has already been stated by several people, including myself, in the last few pages of this thread. No one is "bowing"...

Sort of like how you ignored the fact that I said we (i.e. Jews) were aware of that connection, and that the salient point is that we don't actually call it that in any sort of religious or cultural context? Or how you ignored other posters saying that in this thread? Because while pointing that...

And I appreciate the restraint and thoughtfulness of your stating your points, here. I wish this thread had more of that. I'll disagree with you here; I think that it's a series of small undertakings, rather than any sort of singular push. Having phylacteries just be "that thing liches use"...

Right, this is why I don't use the ignore list here (notwithstanding two instances, one of which was a cyber-stalker and the other one was someone who made an account specifically to engage in some incredibly odious trolling and hasn't posted since).

If only more people had thought that before this entire tangent started.

Literally none of the examples you give are of my saying "those who do [take offense] are probably not Jewish." This is you reading into what I said, rather than reading what I actually said.

There's Tosk (aka "The Brute") from the Carnival sourcebook. Also, there's an orc called Karhk ("of the Elf-Splitters") serving Iuz in the Cavitius portion of Die Vecna Die. And I believe there were orcs in the moors in I10 Ravenloft II: The House of Gryphon Hill.

From my lived experience, which you're apparently saying is wrong, because you think you're in favor of tolerance. But then again, I've already explained to you that the association of that word with something not used by the community in question is the problem, and yet you seem to think that...

Yes, I do speak for the Jewish community more than you do, since I'm a part of it and you (as far as you've presented yourself) are not. I don't claim to speak for all Jews, but insofar as saying how members of that group feel about something, I can hold myself up as an example and you can't...

Whereas a straw man isn't interesting at all, since I never said that. I'll direct you to my previous post(s) on the subject. Literally, all WotC had to do to thread that needle was not make a change at all. And yet they managed to fail to do that. And that's really what this is about: that...

Ah right, I forgot that "harm" is something that has to be litigated in civil court. And to think that the people who were upset about how orcs harmed them didn't realize they had a potential class-action suit on their hands! I'm not very enamored of the fatalism on display here. Yes, the...

No, that's not even close to what I'm saying. I'm not sure what to say, except to reiterate what I've said before: "phylactery" is not, as a term, something the Jewish community identifies with (barring some outliers who may be out there). Hence, granting the premise that the term "phylactery"...

So no one should object to something after it's done because it's a done deal? That's an...interesting take.

So good to know that when minorities say that efforts taken on our behalf are actually not helping, you think our objections are "funny." Please, person who doesn't represent us, tell me the right way that we should be represented in media. I've already spoken to this: the harm is that is...
