[QUOTE="Hussar, post: 8534903, member: 22779"] I guess, for me, the problem is, how often are claims being made that are due to bad premises or faulty logic? Is it massively prevalent, or something that happens a few times? I don't know, but, my gut tells me that it's generally not all that prevalent. Typically people aren't getting worked up over nothing and most of the times, we can at least see the chain of logic (even if we don't agree with it personally). So, to me, trying to police the few times where it might be faulty just results in road blocking all the times when the reasons are fine. Heck, look at the Oriental Adventures discussion going on right now. Whether you agree or not with whether OA is culturally insensitive or not, it's pretty clear that there is a reason to call it out as culturally insensitive. Or, rather, there are a number of reasons. I find that with these discussions, so much time is spent just trying to "prove" that there is a problem to a sufficient degree to people who, frankly, don't appear to want to be convinced regardless of any evidence presented, that it just makes it so difficult to have a reasonable conversation without getting incredibly frustrated.
