[QUOTE="EzekielRaiden, post: 9726443, member: 6790260"] What is "sensitivity to details like the 'obviousness'"? Because to me that sounds like an accurate description of taste, both literal tongue-taste and figurative taste. And yes, I do struggle to see how actions which cause the same sorts of effects meaningfully differ simply because the enactor means well. There are cases where that applies--mitigating circumstances, one might say--but I don't see any such circumstances here. The difference seems to be little more than "I know and like doing X to interfere, but Y is unacceptable because it is interference." It's that last bit, the "because it is interference", that I'm catching on. If the reasoning were instead that all interference is bad, but some is an unavoidable badness that one would like to escape from, then that would make sense. Keep in mind, this is a conversation where folks have repeatedly said that doing things in order to make the experience more interesting or exciting or the like is [I]never[/I] okay. Now, though, it seems that it [I]is[/I] okay, under various conditions, which seem pretty [I]ad hoc[/I]. [/QUOTE]
