Message: <blockquote data-quote="Rune" data-source="post: 8390918" data-attributes="member: 67">For my rebuttal to this ridiculously untenable stance, see my previous posts.My rule of thumb is simple: Willfully ignoring people’s desire not to be caused distress by your actions toward them is profoundly disrespectful. (As are all forms of social domination.) Because, you see, you’re taking away their agency in the matter. Defaulting to disrespect might be normal social behavior, but it sure isn’t right. Morally speaking. I mean, I personally don’t like using the ignore function on these boards because I believe everyone who engages in sincere discussion has something to say that is worth listening to. And the ignore feature kind of throws the baby out with the bathwater. But if your stance is effectively, “People who don’t want old things spoiled should go out of their way to make sure they can’t see my posts,” I guess I’d have to recommend that they do just that. Unfortunately, given the cavalierly casual penchant you’ve displayed for throwing spoilers around without warning, the damage is likely to be done before they know to do so.</blockquote>
