[QUOTE="Umbran, post: 8386079, member: 177"] [COLOR=red][B]Mod Note:[/B] So... tone matters. We should not disconnect from the original problem of tone policing, and wave those words in people's faces as.. well, another form of tone policing. "I don't like what you are saying, so I will accuse you of tone policing," is hypocritical. If someone has taken meaningful harm, telling them - telling the victim - that to get redress or improvement they need to control their tone and be nice to people who have harmed them, is inappropriate. However, if you have a couple of people arguing over how to pretend to be elves, yes, a little reminder that how you speak to others largely controls their response to you is often called for. People often forget this, in their fervor to win arguments. As if thinking you are correct alleviates your need to be respectful, polite, and kind to your fellow gamers. So, to remind people: [USER=6704184]@doctorbadwolf[/USER] and [USER=7023887]@AcererakTriple6[/USER] the two of you don't seem to be able to carry on in a constructive matter. There's a well understood dynamic where, having locked horns, folks will often not disengage unless forced to do so. Consider this your invitation to disengage, before you are forced to do so. Thanks.[/COLOR] [/QUOTE]
