I've never blocked a single user. I don't see the point in creating echo chambers.

Excuse my bluntness, but that makes zero sense. There's no such as a single brushstroke that will simultaneously paint say, part of a rose and also the vase behind it.

I mean, I understand what you're saying about the texture of the painting and how unlikely it seems that would convey the level of information that Daredevil received from running his fingers across the painting. To us, that info would be meaningless, especially with the roadblocks you...

We're going to have to agree to disagree on this one! The context neither you nor I have here is knowing what information a sense of touch that sensitive gives you. We can guess... but we don't know.

That's true for your senses and mine. Likely to not be true with someone gifted with a superhuman sense of touch. For instance, the brushstrokes creating say, a nose, or an apple, or a cloud, are applied at different points in time to the rest of what's happening on the canvas. If your sense of...

Mayhap.

Seems like it's further adventures of the Brad Pitt character, not a follow up on the real life events the fictional character got involved with, so I can give that a pass.

Maybe. This is where the topic came up though.

A dozen sounds like a number more than easily handleable by board moderation.

Unfortunately, I think 'up to them' results in passive-aggressive behaviour in many cases.

So what we're saying here is that there are enough disturbed individuals on these boards that we can't have proper reasonable adult board features? That's too bad. Actual pseudo/partial stalkers? Yikes... sorry to hear that @Whizbang Dustyboots I have fond memories of this game, but some of its...

The concept of ignore lists is fine. If you don't want to listen to someone's nonsense, why should you? The implementation on this site, though, leaves something to be desired in my opinion. If someone decides that someone else's post are just too disturbing/alarming/boring/eyerolling/noisy...

Wow. Come on... Something about my pretty innocuous post has created an itch in your drawers. I'm not sure what that itch is... don't really want to get to the bottom of it, based on the point-by-point nature of your response (which never ends well). Look, you make good posts. Don't take what...

I'm on 'your side' of the discussion I guess... but can people cite their sources when they make these kind of statements? Just saw the mod warning re: gun discussions.

Too late:

I'm not skeptical about what you specifically are telling me. I am skeptical of a more generic and general fearful viewpoint: the threat of crime, violent acts, isn't nearly as high as some folks imagine it to be. There is a percentage of the population that seems to have a lens that...

That makes perfect sense to me.

It's not an inquisition. I just find the mindset fascinating. What prompts some people to feel like they live under constant threat? Don't feel under some sort of pressure to feed my curiosity though... you can walk away from the conversation at any time.

I see that you live in Brampton. Pretty sure home invasions shouldn't be at the top of your list of concerns! I know you guys had one I read about last month. Recency bias? Even for Canada, an incredibly safe place, Brampton has a really low crime index. Source: Canada Crime Report: Canada...
