[QUOTE="Ovinomancer, post: 7411153, member: 16814"] Where did I insult your character? I spoke to your arguments, not your character. Bringing religion into a discussion on playing pretend elves (unless it's the religion of the legend elves under discussion) is fraught. It's well known to be fraught. That you work in a religion-oriented field and yet seemingly are unaware of this is... odd? The use of religious terminology, especially in a pejorative sense, ous not sneering that I routinely assume "oh, this person must work in a religion-oriented field, their probably just using familiar terminology that, absent that understanding, would appear inflammatory." I'm willing to accept your explanation, but not willing to accept criticism that your use of pejorative religious terms placed a burden on me to figure out ways you might not have meant them pejoratively. You seem like a smart person -- I general assume smart people are aware of what they are saying. I get everyday use seeping into other topics, but not that I'm supposed to know that about you a priori. [/QUOTE]
