[QUOTE="GMforPowergamers, post: 8803022, member: 67338"] welcome the thing is you can push back without bullying... NOBODY is suggesting we allow for hateful racists sexist homophobic things to go unopposed... what some of us are saying is that "Focus on those things not spelling and grammar" making space for a biggot is wrong, but trying to bully a biggot out by picking on things that have nothing to do with biggotry is also wrong. if you were say Dyslexic and saw and wrote some thing backwards or out of order, but where a good person, would you want someone who was dyslexic but a bad person bullied for the dyslexia? no you want them called out for being a bad person (AKA the thing you DON'T have in common). it's a little childish but it comes from my aunt who taught kindergartens for line forever... "If someone you dislike or did something wrong to you is wearing a red shirt, and you say out loud only idiots wear red shirts, yes you have made an attack against the person you wanted to, but if 4 or 5 of your friends have red shirts at home you may be attacking them too" except yes, that IS a GOOD reason... but the fact that he spells bad isn't a good reason, and you shouldn't hide behind 'kicking out a bad speller' when what you really want is to kick out the guy SAing Kids... again, then by all means call him out on those things...
