A person may be toxic, I've had to ban MANY people lately since I find them to be just that. But (for example) I wouldn't ban pemerton just because I disagree with him, I counter his arguments instead of saying that he has no idea what he is talking about. DDNFan may go overboard, absolutely, I agree with that. But his concerns are still valid and are a mirror of what I feel and what many others feel. He is simply continuing the fight that others don't for whatever reason; maybe they've given up hope in seeing change, or tired of fighting the same fight, could even be as simple as no longer seeing those arguments to respond to because they are in the ignore list; who knows. I'm still offended by what Morrus said, though I accept that it could be on my end instead of what he intended to put across. I still feel it attacked DDNFan instead of his expressed opinion. It doesn't matter if he has the power to disband groups, it doesn't. It is a non-factor. The fact he WANTS TO is an issue. Many of us feel the same way. DoaM is an issue and is contested. So by all means ignore the man if you wish, but don't pretend that his arguments weren't made and immediately say that because he made them that they are suddenly not relevant because I assure you they still are. I understand being tired of having the same conversations, that's why I stayed out of it for as long as I did, but when I see the same incorrect stuff being said somewhere in the area of two years later, I have to pipe in and add my two cents. The same goes for attacking the content of someone's character for disagreeing with their opinions, that is just wrong and I can't stay silent.I have no idea of DDNFan's gender, if they care and wish me to correct the language I'll do so. I wrote it with a definite male gender only for the sake of clarity.</blockquote>
