The "I Didn't Comment in Another Thread" Thread

[Cadence]

Somebody needs to post in this thread a long thoughtful response, so I can quote it sentence by sentence with my well thought out and reasoned arguments.

In fact, they are so well written, persuasive and effective that I have to keep doing it FOREVER in EVERY thread I post in.

I am smart and cool.

Do you want it to be about pineapple pizza, tuna pizza, or good pizza?

If we are talking massive quote blocks with sentence by sentence responses; it cant be anything but NZ pizza.

There is a certain inevitability to things.


Look, if you point to a pile of the absolute worst dog poo, you're going to get two reactions.

First, you will get people falling over each other to explain just how terrible that dog poo is. Often with escalating rhetoric that, no, you don't really understand, the dog poo is terrible!

Second, you'll get the inevitable .... "Well, but AKSHUALLY ... maybe the worst dog poo ever isn't that bad? Maybe ... the real villains are the people who don't like that dog poo, mmmkay?"

And then?

I refuse to accept that this is inevitable. This message board has managed to have many nuanced discussions over the years. We've covered touchy subjects ranging from the Satanic Panic to the influences of Mormonism in Dragonlance to FATAL. Some threads even manage it without any moderation. Occasionally, we've even had threads about problematic actors in the profession and prejudice in gaming and that were relatively intelligent and fruitful discussions.

We can do better. Sometimes we don't. But it's possible. There are more than two reactions.

At this time, I would also like to acknowledge the hypocrisy in my hopefulness in this post compared to my whining last Friday that even ordering a pizza without politics was too hard.

Good.

I need a palate cleanser.

Let's talk about FATAL instead.

Is Bryon Hall a genius or a once in a lifetime visionary?

Discuss.

FATAL is the RPG equivalent of those safety lectures where they show you the safety glasses with a projectile stuck in them, or photographs of car wrecks from drunk drivers. On the one hand, fasinating to look at. OTOH, a clear message that you should not re-create that situation.

Why do they always lock threads when I'm sleeping? Very rude.

Somebody brought up the "first they came for..." poem in the thread about how willing we should be to tolerate Nazis, and I have to wonder just how many people realize that they are already coming for trans folx.

One can quibble about how long the line is between CPS vans to conversion therapy and trains to the gas camps, but it is undeniable that it is a straight line

So between neo-Nazis and Chinese spammers I guess I prefer to be harangued by the Chinese spammers: they have more honor.
