Someone thought you were a man? That's actually kind of funny. And sad for that person. I can't even imagine what led someone down that path. Probably a mixture of strong stances you take with some weirdness in their background. Either way, nothing to do with you or a reflection on you. I hope...

Well, that was a bit odd and nihilistic. ~ Ulorian

What do you mean? No need for feeling that way! What's on your mind? I highly doubt that whatever badness you're picturing matches reality.

He looks like a young dog. I was expecting a picture with a bit more bananas when running into snowflakes for the first time. You got one of those?

I'll give this the benefit of the doubt; what ways would those be exactly? But more importantly, how does that excuse going out of one's way to create silos of thought and barriers to communication? What problem is being solved here?

I don't know what you're referring, but please don't ignore people... and please don't think of it as a victory when you do. What's this post about Rowling's (incomprehensible to me) fight against transgender folks?

I see a step towards me! Bless your heart sir. I have never advocated for completely turning the other cheek. Sometimes turn it, I guess, but that's not the point. The point is to recognise that you are speaking to another person, not a mustache-twirling cartoon villain (in the vast majority of...

@el-remmen Using laugh emojis in a mocking way is frowned upon. Use your words! I won't bite!

I have bought into exactly nothing you've said here. A poor defense of a poor practice. Echo chambers occur when you are not exposed to viewpoints that you disagree with. This may shock you, but the pattern of behaviour of cutting people off on this site... is going to carry over into other...

Your takeaway from my statement is strange to me. Look at this way. Are there bad, like truly bad, people in the world? Absolutely! Are there as many incredibly villainous, irredeemable scoundrels as some would believe? Not at all. What I'm talking about are the knee-jerk reactions. You have a...

Loved your post, disagreed with this part. Ignore is the worst feature of this site (which is lovely in all other ways frankly); shuts down discussion and is often used as a passive-aggressive weapon. But more importantly and unfortunately, it creates echo chambers, and puts the power to create...

Time to come clean. I AM George Soros. Sorry, chief, your cheque's in the mail.

Bigotry, racism, etc. are terrible things, and removing these things from the world is the duty of all people IMO. What you're doing here though... it's something different. The stance of purity you are taking. There is a difference between understanding what is right and acting towards that...

@Voadam I was in the midst of typing up a response, but this does the job nicely.

I'm sorry you had to go through that, honestly. I grew up in an environment that would make you blanch, and if I told you the details, you'd likely apologise to me for trying to use your story, as tragic as it truly is, as a weapon in this discussion. Practicing tolerance and understanding...

See that red squiggly line? This thread needs a High Pedant label attached to it...

foreward!!! lolomgbbq good sir. New to the thread? :)

These sorts of posts are what I love to see on these boards.

That seems like a recipe for failure. Sounds like you want to walk into a discussion thinking the other person is arguing in bad faith. They very well might be! Or not. Who knows until you get into it? What is it you think precludes you from treating that other person with respect until you...
